That sounds awful. Some of those cheeses simply don't go together.

And for dessert? Laxatives.

It seems like it would be a better idea to just serve like five cheese plates instead of mashing them all together with about five thousand things.

The climax of Critters 2 was not meant to be a culinary inspiration.

What he said. Otherwise, looks very interesting. I may debate doing something close but with cheeses that compliment each other.

Actually, it sounds delicious. Which cheeses do you not think go together? I know there are quite a few people that don't like the sourness of bleu cheese, but all the non-cheese ingredients would mellow that right out. I'm not entirely certain why they feel the need to mix the chevre with cream cheese, though. Pretty much the same consistency.

So now we need a five layer cracker to compliment this thing

Why dilute the flavor of the chevre (or any of the others) with cream cheese anyway? I suppose some of those cheeses could go together in arrangements, but this is just a mishmash of too many varieties together. And most cheeses need to get to room temperature for a while to really release their flavors, so if you refrigerate it, letting five pounds of cheese sit for fifteen minutes isn't going to accomplish that.

as much mass as there is in that much cheese I'd imagine that after 15 minutes the core cheese would still be cold

OK, that's two already.

Complement...

Per the gaining weight part, it might be helpful to note that you're not obligated to eat every bit of food in visible range. Many's the meal where I didn't devour the complete contents of all the serving dishes.

Cheese balls and the people that eat them are farking disgusting.

I suspect you are doing it wrong.
Having said that, this cheese ball needs to be deep fried.

/pizza sauce is a vegetable

Are you serious? This is the equivalent of suggesting that wine would be better if you just poured all different bottles and types into a big jug. You're right that specific cheeses have specific flavours- why you would want to bury something delicate with subtlety under something that is in your face is beyond me.

Some cheeses team up well together. This cheeseball is a culinary abortion.

unyon: Some cheeses team up well together. This cheeseball is a culinary abortion.

I have a friend (a fellow Farker) who eats a slice of cheddar and a slice of cheap pepperoni on top of Freihofer's chocolate chip cookies. He's also eaten ice cream on crab rangoons, although he didn't end up liking that combination. He's convinced several of our mutual friends to try his CC/P/CCC concoction and whenever the ingredients are around they make them. I've discovered grape juice and root beer taste pretty good mixed together (we call it a graperoot). Just because a cheese has a specific flavor doesn't mean that specific flavor won't go together with another.

You put your peanut butter in my chocolate.

Why do so many people in here assume that your average person who wants to eat a cheese ball is someone who has a subtle and refined palate? Protip: people who eat cheese balls are generally not interested in the subtleties.

Yo Dawg, we heard you'd like to travel more easily during the holiday season, so we put a Stargate in your Stargate so you could traverse space/time while you traverse space/time while your traverse space/time while you traverse space/time...
