Old cheddar, that any sane person (those who eat fugu are stupid; those who do not eat fugu are also stupid) probably would have thrown away. It had nearly crystallized, like good parmesan. Very sharp. Crumbled and melted on toast.
Extensive cooking and travel in Europe, the Mid East, and the Far East changed my palate and concepts of pairings and presentation. Good cooking friends and a background in Biology and Chemistry give me a pretty good idea of how to hit a target preparation. I love cooking on the fly, whether to make a complex set piece or a minor culinary miracle out of what's on hand.
