Do you like tea? And do you like cheese? Well you'll love our new cheesy teas!

There are no mistakes, just happy accidents. Unless it tastes horrible.

Sending this to my Italian wife

Was what cheese stored at room temperature with the sugar for extended time? I'm not familiar with those packages, but I wouldn't trust it.

Crosspost to coffee but without the mistake part. Everyone there is so afraid of being labeled a coffee gatekeeping snob that they will fully support this as good move. "wow, bet that really enhances the piquant umami notes!"

I mean... parmesan ice cream?

Those packets are shelf-stable. It probably came from a pizza place, where there's a bin on the counter (along with red pepper flakes) to grab if you want some on your take out order.

I can see a bit of savory cheese in a sweet pastry for sure.

But definitely not tea or coffee. Maybe chocolate milk, but that’s a stretch…

tcheese

Never seen that before, so I'll take your word for it.

I was putting sugar in my ice tea one time and someone filled the sugar jar with salt. I don’t know if it was on purpose or accident, but that one sip was completely jarring and nasty.

I came pretty close to putting sour cream on my bagel once on a particularly groggy morning.

If this is coffee I'd try it with Parmesan. I've been hearing about Colombian coffee with cheese in it. Hopefully I can visit and try the traditional recipe one day.

That sounds good

Hah! I did the opposite once with sugar on pizza

The existence of this item is in itself abhorrent

were they tho?

good luck with the poots dude, but if that's a cafe they'd gladly give you a new cup

are you familiar with labne? it's basically lebanese sour cream. has a tang of cream cheese tho. i've been using that on everything lately, including bagel.

sometimes, i put the toum on top of the labne if it is a plain bagel. i live on the edge.

teese

it's on my list of things to make when my ice cream machine stops being broke

something about pasteurization, only doing it too much or freeze-drying or something. shelf stability has come a remarkable distance in the last 100 years. idk what method they use as i'm not involved in their manufacturing and am only an amateur food scientist.

I get that, but I don't think I've ever seen long term shelve stable cheese at room temperature. Maybe crackers with cheese or something similar, but never plain cheese.

it's the powdered parmesan. i can't explain it. like this shit has a bad rap, but it's just cheese

i think you're supposed to refrigerate after you open it, but before you open it it's stable.

I would definitely give it a taste!

You should convince her to try it.

Happened to me with salt and spaghetti. I thought it was parmesan and sprinkled a ton of it.

I get the freshly grated cheese is heavenly but mom and pop pizza chains can't provide that kind of service on their razor thin margins. At that point I'd rather have the packaged stuff than none at all.

That'd be hilarious

Vanilla and scrambled eggs

Never again

At first I thought the mistake was the powdered creamer. I've worked in institutions basically my entire adult life and I've had all kinds of shit coffee and I'd rather just rawdog the boiled suggestion of coffee straight from the concentrate carton's teat than fuck with that grittyass bullshit.

Don't knock it until you try it.

Bullet coffee 2.0

Also fuck whitener, where's blackener... I want my coffee as black as Samuel L Jackson's asshole.

throw a smidge of butter in there to complete the dish

It's 90% cheese, like 10% sand/sawdust.

when they did the sawdust test, kraft was the only one that came out all cheese. seems kind of counterintuitive because they are the stereotypical cheap cheese. which makes me wonder, but y'know, they have the money to build the facilities to do the freeze dry and all that without having to add the sawdust, and the smaller cheeseries don't necessarily, so it makes sense.

this stuff is basically the result of military tests on shelf stability in the 1950s. it's why the flavor ain't great. but it'll last

Should just have msg packets and get people used to that instead.

Only if it's yak butter. Doesn't have the right gameyness otherwise

Sure, probably, but it definitely would've been a surprise.

Haha especially in the morning, but maybe a nice surprise.
