It's got goat cheese, that alone is vile for me.

Sir, there is a lot of old milk curdled into a solid form, we can replace it with another kind.

:| Last time I said that, I got told "it's not the same, it'll ruin the taste"! So I'll stick to what the recipe says. If it's for the creamy\gooey texture, then yeah we can. But if it's there for flavour, then I'll stick to what the recipe wants it to taste like.

Even if it's smelly feet x_x

...goddamn it now you're making me want to order pizza.

also the trash isn't enough to get rid of the smell

Like Anakin says, it's gross, yucky and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

Ok you need to order a pizza (with extra cheese), eat it all up because Im afraid you’ll put sand in your pickled cheese pie.

Unfortunately the recipe I had fished out from the drawer was from the 1960s, and they had somewhat different ingredients back then compared to now. Not to mention the recipe treated it as a normal savory cheesecake and was not served with bread.

It also called for mostly dry seasonings/parm cheese, which normally in some things are not entirely a good idea. It also interestingly enough called for a graham cracker crust instead of a pretzel crust.

I'm also mad at myself for spending money on expensive goat cheese too and wasting it on...that. Either way I'm not inflicting that kind of torture on myself ever again. Heck even the avocado bread recipe she had in the drawer sounds more appetizing.
