Cheese In A Bowl: Socially Unacceptable?

[puff_not_snuff]

If someone presented you a nice piece of cheese, lets say Stilton, and it was in a bowl would you be slightly offended?

I personally would eat the cheese without complaint but internally fixate on the fact that it was served to me in a bowl.

Thoughts?

Not at all ... I would walk right over and put it in front of their cat or dog as if that's what they wanted me to do.

Maybe they think you are messy !

Won't make much difference to me. Whatever they have, they can use it to serve. Their house, their rule.

 

[kcghost]

I would eat it without thinking about it.

 

[Grangerous]

I wasn’t aware of any cheese etiquette. Is that a thing now?

 

[username]

Would eat it without second thought.

I don't understand, a pipe bowl, or a bowl to eat from? forgive me of my pedestrian understanding. it ain't going to work out in a pipe bowl, just my farthings worth.

Sorry, my bad. Yes, I meant a pipe bowl. I assumed incorrectly that it was obvious since we are on a pipe forum.

 

[warren]

Wouldn't give the serving dish a thought. But then, I love free cheese.

I'm sorry please forgive me, sometimes it's hard to discern, I'm sure you will have quite a few relights on that one. Gods speed, and take care.

It's not polite to cut the cheese in mixed company.

It's not polite to cut the cheese in mixed company.

It is also impolite to make dad jokes when everyone in the room is over 40.

As long as it's not crawing with maggots, I'm good.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I must be missing something? Why would anyone risk fouling a pipe with a piece of cheese just to present the cheese to someone in the bowl? Sounds absurd to me.

 

[bullet08]

In that case.. Depends on the brand of the pipe. If I see someone putting cheese in Peterson, I might suggest Savinelli or Lee, and take away the Peterson.

Seek counseling.

oh of course the Casu Marzu hate has to come out.

So, you're asking what our reaction would be if we were served cheese in a tobacco pipe?

Has this ever happened in the history of the world?

Did you drop acid this evening?

 

[Grangerous]

Driver’s license please…

“I’m not as think as you stoned I am, Officerrrr.. would you like a piece of cheese?”

Have you been drinking….

“No. it’s the Stilton”

You’ve been..eating cheese?

Laughs.. “No, don’t be ridiculous, I smoked it, in a bowl”

Step out of the car, Sir.
