A nice sharp cheese is an excellent pair to dark chocolate, perhaps along with dried fruit. A mild or soft cheese like brie complements a tart jam or the like marvelously. Go ahead and put a slice of cheese over your blueberry pie.
In Brazil there's a food that's just cheese and guava jam that they call "Romeo and Juliet", because cheese and guava jam come from very different worlds but still go great together
Are you sure they don't call it Romeo and Juliet because it tastes like poison and makes you want to stab yourself to death?
Cheese is a classic dessert. Also usually paired with sweet wines or spirits like port and brandy.
If you go to a fancy restaurant, especially one that is based on French food, you can generally choose a cheese board or some other cheesy thing for dessert, with a selection of honey, jam, and crackers. Goes well paired with a lighter Sauternes or possibly a limoncello.
You can of course go extra and have both Dessert AND Cheese, but beware the order. The British have the cheese last, with a port. The French before the dessert proper. Wars have been fought over this.
Sugar and cheese 🤮🤮🤮 I'm in a hospital and when I order the cheese plate they always put shit like fig jam on the plate and it comes in contact with the cheese and it makes me so angry
