Today I thought I would go with very approachable contestant, known by all for its excellent meltable qualities in the form of the winter comfort food, Fondue. Nutty, buttery, and puckery, this raw cow's milk cheese is now produced worldwide, however for our purposes, I'd like to stick to the tried and true, Swiss version. Not that, the "clones" are bad, it's just nice to go straight to the top! I think this is the sort of cheese that will please a wide audience, appealing to those of us with developed cheese palates and those of us just getting our feet wet with cheese. Make sure to buy the non-processed version at the supermarket, go for the cave aged option!
So let me introduce you to the contestants that will be in the running for tomorrow's recipe:
1. Tomatoes : Juicy and plump, this contestant is the most common garden plant grown worldwide. There are many variations of this delish fruit and in turn countless options for what to use it for when it comes to cooking or simply eating it. Yellow, red, green, heirloom, plum, cherry, sundried, to name a few, the options with contestant number one are endless.
2. Salmon : Pink in color, this contestant is one of the most popular fishes. Also with a variety of types, this is the sort fish that can insert itself into many different dishes where other fishes might simply not work! Smoked or unsmoked, this contestant certainly melts in your mouth.
3. Pickles : A cucumber that has been soaked in either a brine, a vinegar, or another solution that allows the cucumber to ferment, the classic accompaniment to a sandwich this contestant can take on a wide variety or forms -- each very distinct. Salty, briny, and delish, this contestant tends to be utilized for snacking purposes or as a sidekick to the main show.
So who do you think will win? Check back tomorrow for the results and a recipe!
