In reply to:

tempeh
n.
a cheeselike high-protein food, orig. of Indonesia, made with cooked soybeans fermented with a rhizopus fungus and used as a meat substitute, in salads, etc.


I love tempe, but the resemblance between tempe and cheese escapes me. Can't find a decent picture online. I suppose it does look a bit cheeselike in the online pictures, but in real life they don't look the same at all.

It's got a sort of cheeselike texture, in a floppy sort of way.

Well, neither does cheese.

Dear Faldage: the best way to fry cheese is i;n a ;microwqve. I used to like cheddar on toast, in the old days when they made toasters to that you could grill things under them. But it was tricky to get it crisped just right,
and very difficult to avoid burning the edges of the toast.
When I got my first microwave, I discovered that I could just put the cheddar on a Pyrex plate and with short burst of heat get it all nicely crisped. It would not stick very hard to the pyrex plate.Then it could be put onto a slice of toast. Frying cheese in a pan would just make a mess.

No, I can't from the 60s - but there was a series in (I think) the 80s on BBC which had Jeremy Flint (perhaps presenting?) and a number of other good players like Zia Mahmoud - the format was a kind of over-the-shoulder style in which each player would v/o their thinking process before each bid was revealed. This 're-enactment' created studious interest for the afficianados, but sluggish TV for the great illiteratti, so was replaced with yet another makeover/cookery/gardening programme...
