That's a good point about salting your fruit with cheese, Buckhead.
I don't put salt on any fruits served as fruits (I tried the watermelon thing but I prefer it without) but I do love pairings such as bleu cheese or sharp cheddar with apples and pears.
I love cheese with fruit. When I want a simple meal I will either get some good bread not mass produced stuff or good crackers, cheese especially Stilton and some apples or pears and maybe some nuts.
I can remember when fruit was seasonal and I couldn't wait for summer when there would be all kinds of fruit in the store. Now you can get it year round.
I love a salty sweet taste. I think that is why cheese and fruit are just perfect together.
I don't get people putting mayonnaise on corn on the cob. Just seems odd.
During the summer, we do it. Got the recipe from Paula Deen of course. spread the corn w/ mayo. roll it in Parmesan & sprinkle w/ chili powder, salt & pepper. put in foil and close. grill or broil about 10 min.
Yes, I've heard of that from street vendors in Mexico, I think...
Yep, I learned it from Mexican street vendors in Chicago. They also do it with mango and papaya. and sell it on sticks.
I also learned how to make elote from the vendors, the mayo-and-cheese-and chili powder-slathered roast corn, which others have discussed upthread.
