Is it a cheese plate if 2/3 of the plate is something other than cheese? I would ask for my money back.

thats a nice piece of humboldt fog, but unless this was like $7 this feels a bit sparse, it all looks delicious tho, just a bit thin for what was probably like $23 before tax and tip

This is a total ripoff unless it was 5 bucks.

Needs more cheese

Careful – almost got some cheese on that

Most of that stuff isn’t cheese

Wtf why is everyone complaining about the cost of this plate or lack of cheese? I do this for a living and that humboldt fog is seriously expensive like $20+ per pound wholesale, that looks to be the mini version but still an 1/8 of a wheel. AND an aged goat gouda which if its brabander or something similar can be even more expensive. Hard to say but it looks like 5 oz of cheese in total which is quite generous and enough for two people. If we served this we would charge maybe $25 and barely hit a 35% food cost. I see so many weak and criticism worthy versions of this in person and online and this is not what you should be mad at. Some of these plates have a little .75 oz smear of shitty triple cream and like, stale crackers.
And what is the deal with being upset with accoutrements, the point is to eat the cheese with other foods. If you want a giant hunk of cheese to yourself you eat it at home. I appreciate the lack of random fluff and filler on this cheese plate and the focus on two cheeses though i would switch out the dried fruit and vary milk types for more variety.

Back in the day at like bars in rural Wisconsin where I grew up, they would bring out like a relish tray. Various pickled vegetables and such were on there. Plus, you know celery carrots, basically like the owner’s garden. It was really dope. There we’re some cheese curds, too. Not a lot of cheese really going on, say, like buying a charcuterie board or something now; that’s all trendy and shit. But it was always really cool to go to those bars and snack on vegetables and garden fresh awesomeness. This isn’t a new thing. I’m just glad it’s trending because it’s fucking dope!

My French family strongly insists that a cheese plate MUST have an odd number of cheeses, including one blue, one soft, one hard, and one non-cow. So this would obviously be a scandal at any price!
They are also butter-with-cheese people from the traditional lands in the center of France and furiously at war with the never-butter-with-cheese people from the traditional lands also in the center of France, so take that as you will…

It looks like they were out of a third cheese and gave you a little more Humboldt fog. That wouldn’t bother me, if the server said up front, “hey sorry we ran out of one, we portioned up on another.”

Man the profit margin on that thing must be outrageous. I’d probably complain if I ordered a cheese plate and got like 2 slices of cheese.

What’s even the point of the PFAS paper? I’d much rather eat off the wood directly
Edit: I’m sorry to all the PFAS enthusiasts, I was out of line earlier

Isn’t a cheese plate meant to have a range of cheese?

It was 17 for this in a fairly high col area, Brighton.
It was described accurately on the menu so I didn’t feel taken for a ride and got to try a cheese I hadn’t tried before.
“daily cheese board: Two cheeses selected from The Cheese Shop of Salem served with cornichons, apricots, fig jam, and Dusseldorf mustard.”
It’s not a specialty shop, and I was happy with it compared to most bar bites.
Sorry for making you look at this cheese 🤷🏻♀️

A distinct lack of cheese on that cheese board!

Where is the rest of the cheese?

Where’s the cheese?

Is that a chunk of Ricotta Salata? I mean, I love the stuff, but I wouldn’t want it as one of the two focal points on my cheese platter.
EDIT: Honestly, I would have sent this back. This platter belongs in r/mildlyinfuriating.

More plate than cheese
