can you use the Tête de Moine scraper on other cheeses? and is it always bought on the round scraper? also you can just scrape the Tête de Moine with any knife too right? just wondering
Yes.........(good luck though) The round scraper is not particularly strong though and Tête du Moine is a soft cheese of the exact right size....
What Today Only said.
You can eat anything you want, anyway you choose.
...even Bolognaise sauce with tomatoes or worse still, Carbonara with cream
I used just beef mince to make chili-con-carne the other day but I think I got away with it!
was just wondering...cos of all the swiss cheeses - why does this one have it's own special device?
doch doch...i do normally eat things how i want... even having my St.Galler bratwurst mit senf!
I wondered that. According to wikipedia , the cheese is eight centuries old but the shaving device (Girolle) was invented as recently as 1982 which compared with something like an electric sandwich toaster, in which you put cheese etc)inside, and which was invented by Breville in 1974, it's almost a brand new invention.
It's called "marketing" my dear
damn good marketing too.lol. they should add more ridiculous devices to swiss foods!
Raclette scrapers:
The bottom one is useful if you're a lot of people and it actually tastes better than the little individual "Raclonette" pans.
I use mine 2-3 times a year and countless people borrow it
That works if you mince it yourself with a 12mm hole mincer, otherwise your just setting yourself up for ridicule, especially if you added beans!

Actually I'm not.
Perhaps if I invited a load of Mexicans round to eat but I would never cook Mexican food if I did same as I never cook Italian food for Italians.
Chili is not Mexican.

What do you use to check the hole is actually only 12mm diameter Tom ?
I never wrote that it was. Who invented it? Mexicans or North Americans? I'll give you a clue - the former.
If an Italian lives in Switzerland, I still wouldn't cook them Italian food.
I was talking to my wife over supper and she said that other Swiss cheeses are also planed across in super-thin slices. The term is Hobelkäse such as in Berner Hobelkäse.
SBrinz is also served in this way.
If you spell it like that, the chances of it being some sort of deviation from the original are probably pretty high.
Texans, actually.
P.S. Mexicans are North Americans.

when i first lived in switzerland- i came across the pre-sliced sbrinz and it fast became my fave swiss cheese 🧀
