MattyT Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Anything to learn from this little item copied from my local police blotter?...

Chef Jim Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Anything to learn from this little item copied from my local police blotter?... "A man was arrested Oct. 7 in connection with the theft of Velveeta cheese and shrimp from Wegmans, 525 Titus Ave." I learned from a very good chef a long time ago never put cheese on seafood. Seeing it was velveeta I see nothing wrong with the theft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i always heard the same thing, but a linguine with clam sauce or a shrimp alfredo, i just can't NOT put parm or romano on the top I learned from a very good chef a long time ago never put cheese on seafood.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 in Cuisine fish is not "seafood"... seafood is only shells and shrimp/lobster and co... Strange because I've worked a couple of fine dining restaurants on Palm Beach island and they put their fish in the seafood section of the menu. I've not heard that before.

I've not heard that before. Because that simply isn't true, in the USA. Fish is most certainly called seafood, here. Even fresh water fish is, in the USA, usually considered "seafood". I don't think that's true in other countries/continents, though. But, I never agreed with, nor followed, "no cheese with seafood" as a strict rule. It is a good guideline, though.

But to be more serious, fish and cheese can be a good mix, while seafood (international classification!) and milk/cream/ cheese almost never make a good mix.

Cugalabanza Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I can only assume that it was some misguided soul's attempt at low-end fondue. Legalize fondue! Then we wouldn't have to deal with all the crime that comes from this dangerous underground black market stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
