Sup cu/ck/s, what are some good uses for blue cheese besides sprinkling over salad? I'm trying to find a way to incorporate it into dinner tonight that'll impress my gf.

I plan to grill up some hanger steak with peppers and onions and would like something to pair it with.

reduce a dark beer and brown sugar in a pan for a sauce for the steak and top with blue cheese

Fuck no, use a real beer such as a European stout or porter or an Old English Bass.
Don't try and cook with this hipster, millennial crap.

Ayyy, I live in the Midwest, it's virtually impossible to find any imported beer here, so for me it's a nice change, but thanks for the tip.

Think about it. Can you think of any food, any food at all, that would be improved by the addition of a shitload of hops?

>taste
salty. occasionally bitter, occasionally funky.

>texture
varies. can be dry, can be soft. can be somewhere in between. i like a sort of "chewy" blue cheese.

>> No.8273037

>>8273031
most are soft and creamy, funky, sharper than it should be
i've had more cheddar like blues though and those are great too
harder, less creamy but even a little sharper

Savory, creamy, salty. A bit "off" tasting. I'm pretty sure it's the only cheese I'd like to eat with a steak because steak and cheese doesn't work. Except with blue cheese for some reason.

i can recommend spinkling over cooked pasta, lardons, mushrooms and cremefraiche
great creamy/salty pasta dish

>>8273052
nah, looks great though
i can't find a picture of the one that really sticks in my mind, it's called patrolmans blues by mt. mansfield

they make some dank ass cheese in VT, i've only had one I didn't like and it was improperly packaged and probably a little old. Savage by von trapp. But even with that, I came home drunk one night and microwaved it (lol), it puffed up and got all crispy and delicious.

Cream sauce with the blue cheese. You can put it on top of your steak and broil it so it gets a light golden color. Bake it in rolls.

>> No.8273117

avocado

beef
blueberry

Blue cheese works great in pasta sauce, tomato soup, potato soup, macaroni and cheese, on burgers, with roasted root vegetables, in stuffed mushrooms, with savory fruits like figs and dates, with bacon.

I like to even just snack on them with crackers and/or bread. Soft blues like Saint Agur are especially great for this.
