As much as I love a home made meal, nothing can beat goat cheese and crackers. Last night I went to my friend's house for dinner and had the first home cooked meal since the end of the summer. It was amazing vegetarian chile with a great spice in it. However before the main food came out there was tons of cheeseand crackers laid out on the table for us to eat. I went right for the goat cheese. Although most people I know don't like goat cheese or wont even try it because of the name, I could eat goatcheese for any meal. I love it plain with crackers and of course can eat it in a salad but my favorite is goat cheese and fig. Only one place back in Ann Arbor sells the original fig that I like but every time I come home my mom knows that is my request for dinner. A lot of restaurants dont have goat cheese anywhere on the menu but on the occasion that I find a restaurant that does have it there is no second guessing. I will always get the meal with goat cheese. besides goat cheese and fig my favorite surprise in a restaurant is goat
cheese on a panini. That bite with melted goat cheese, roasted red peppers, and caramelized onions can not get any better. Any dinner with goat cheese is the best one of the month!
Whole foods sells a fig jam in the cheese section that is phenomenally good with goat cheese. Or with cheddar. Either. Or both. Alternate.
