For many of us foodies and eaters, this question could prove to be a challenging and brutal one to answer – we are discussing the possibility of having to give up one of two of the most popular and versatile foods in the world.
Option #1: You can never eat chocolate again.
Option #2: You can never eat cheese again.
Things to consider: Cheese & crackers, pizza, nachos, mozzarella sticks, cheeseburgers, omlets. Candy bars, cake, frosting, hot chocolate, chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk.
Special thanks to my friend Cassie for recommending this one.

Peace it out, chocolate! Cheese is too good to ditch for your sweet stylings.
Eick, you clearly keep cheese. You would turn into a madman if you couldn’t eat any sharp cheddar again for the rest of your life… scary.

I have to go with keeping cheese. I love chocolate, but this isn’t even close.

What a tough decision! I have to admit that I was mildly horrified at the thought of giving up either. But I have to say that at the end of the day, I give my heart to cheese.
As a closet foody, I have to say that I find your blog interesting and intriguing. I’m looking forward to reading futher.

I am wholly unsurprised by the fact that cheese is more popular than chocolate in a landslide.
I’ll take savory over sweet anyday.

how about death? can we make that a third option?

I think if I never ate cheese again I wouldn’t even notice. This was a total no-brainer for me.

Krystal, you are insane. Cheese is everywhere. It is in the air you breathe.
And it can employed for:
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Dessert
Any goddamn snack any goddamn time.
That, my friends, is versatility.
Mmm, pepperjack…

I suspected that Cheese would win this one fairly handily, but I was curious to see what percentage of the population would choose chocolate.
About 1 in 4 is still crazy though. Cheese, is in fact, everywhere, from salads to pizza to…everything. Unless you run a cocoa bean farm or just LOVE eating mole at every meal, I’m shocked that anyone would choose chocolate.

Without chocolate you you’d have no chocolate.
Without cheese you’d have no pizza, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, cheese whiz, cheese and crackers, tacos, I could go on.
It’s a no brainer.

Thanks Eick! I love both sooo much, and I’d like you to create some chocolate coated cheese snack. Get on it!

I guess I’m in the minority…I so prefer sweet over savory….What would I do without my hot cocoa, chocolate dipped strawberries, brownies, chocolate fondue, etc. etc.? Sure, I’d miss feta cheese and pizza, but not at the expense of chocolate!

I can live without chocolate easier than cheese. While I enjoy the taste of chocolate more…cheese makes so many things so much better. So if I lose out on cheese it’s like I’m also losing out on cheeseburgers, pizza, lasagna, etc.

A world without pizza isn’t worth living in. No cheese on my tacos?! Oh man that would suck.

It’s all about the versatility.
…wait, no it isn’t. I’ve never been a fan of straight up chocolate. I love chocolate chip cookies, and I could devote a blog to all things Chocolate with PB. But I haven’t had a plain Hershey’s in…wow. Whereas I could honestly make a small meal of cubed/sliced cheese.
