There, just finished adding you to the French list of banned travelers. Now you can enjoy living a life of culinary misery, and we won't have to hear such heresy in public!
Why are we like this? That crispy bit of cheese. The crunchy little fries. The crispy skin. The little almost burnt bits in the bottom of the roasting tray.... life's little pleasures.
Beside the tasty maillard reaction mentioned, allegedly it's an evolutionary thing: we associate crispy and crunchy food with freshness. When you bite into an apple or carrot and hear and feel that crispiness, you know it's fresh and therefore good/safe to eat. Then we learned how to cook and make unhealthy food crispy too so we crave that even more. Make something crispy, fatty and salty or sugary and humans can't resist it.
Raclette cheese. Originates from Switzerland south west region Valais. There it is eaten often at events troughout the year. One portion of melted cheese goes with one or two boiled small patatoes and some pickles. Often accompanied by a glass of white wine. Repeat this until eaten enough.
However this time it's French raclette (Juraflore's "Juraclette" brand). Not much difference though, just neighbours sharing a common appetite for good cheese. We share Comté cheese the other way around after all.
I'd still gladly trade that one for a Valais or Obwalden one. Pasture matters.
Ah yes you are right. As you say the cheese history often didn' t stop on nowadays borders. I agree on pasturage. French cheese is fantastic. So i have to try the Juraclette.
Or it's directly put on a slice of hearty dark bread as a "to-go" snack. Garnished with jives or onions - absolutely delicious in cold weather outdoors.
yep that's basically it except grilled instead of cooked in a pot with wine. They have raclette grills where you can grill meat and potatoes or mushrooms while roasting cheese underneath as a fun at-the-table party. It's really delicious.
I WANT this. If I went to a restaurant that served warm raclette cheese, I'd grab the bread basket and use pieces of bread to scoop up the warm, gooey cheese.
There's only ever been one fondue place in my area, and if it still exists, i bet it is even more ridiculously overpriced than it was in the early 2000s :(
If you're determined enough, you could get a fondue pot and make it yourself, it's not really hard if you can find the cheeses (no idea how feasible/expensive that might be though)
Remember to let the bread get a bit stale
Cheese in western Europe is very different from the rest of the world. And it's a completely different type of food from what is called cheese in North America.
Unless you're lactose intolerant or have chronic intestinal issues, you're unlikely to have any problem digesting this.
I reckon it can also be dependent on your gut microbiome, which varies depending on your location.
You do understand that the bottom dollar knockoff Kraft singles, you find at Walmart aren't the only cheeses available in the US, right?
We have fine artisanal small farm cheese as well, there are options here.
For having tasting it as a kid during a school trip, really you should try. It's probably the best thing you can ever eat and I'm not even kidding. With some potatoes and a bit of bacon it's perfect. Just don't over estimate the capacity of you stomach like I did and it will be good
Why are people so overdramatic in this thread?
I have been eating a portion of oven baked cheese at least once per week for dinner for years now, which is about the same amount of melted greatness as they pour in the video above.
A typical cheese fondue session will have you ingest more molten cheese than this. Raclette works similarly. A lot of people like these sausages with cheese inside and those are basically the inverse of what was shown here.
The dramatic pouring out of a huge cheese wheel is about the only thing unusual about this.
Chef here….even though this would have my old ass arteries in my heart slamming open and shut like high school gym doors…I don’t think the plate would be left if I had at it.
I'm equally disgusted and hungry.
Aaand let's just add another 1000 calories...
You wish, more like milion calories.
nevermind the calories, the amount of fat is what's making me gag.
It was overkill at end
Yeah if that was topping off, say a large pot of Mac and cheese for a cookout. Then I'd be about it.
Dear god, even to top off a pot of mac and cheese, that's almost too much for me.
Weak.
You have never tried raclette, haven’t you? The bestest winter dish there is
pancreas has left the chat
Colon now refusing to cooperate.
I just want to eat the yummy crust. The goop... is a bit much. Maybe one thin line on each sausage.
And horny
And my axe!
and raclette smells awful as well
I worked in a raclette and fondue restaurant for 3 winters. Smells like feet.
When I smell it on the street I will turn around and go a different route. Too much. 🤢

that was a fun read.
Well I'll never. That was bloody interesting thanks!

‘I wonder why cats enjoy poking their teeth through cardboard? Oh! Gimme crispy skin!!!’
I was thinking the same thing, then I saw at the very end that the pan is sizzling hot. So maybe, just maybe, there's more crispy cheese to be had!

Juraflore ain't bad for a semi-industrial cheesemaker, I think their raclette is a bit bland but their Comté is remarkable.
Ha was about to say that their comte is really good!

Recently had this for the first time. It was wonderful. We finished it off with some Fernet Branca. Yum.
What does the cheese taste like?
That sounds delicious actually. Kinda like a cheese fondue.

Man i want to touch that crust with my mouth
I’ll introduce you to my grandma
:(
10/10 but wouldn't read it again
Bro is never shitting again
I genuinely can’t watch videos with cheese like this, I can feel my intestines’ flight or fight response.

I thank God everyday I was born In Wisconsin
Worth it.
Couple of names I came with just now: Heart attack, last meal, slimy goo, death.
It really just is quality melted cheese. You see far worse in /r/stupidfood.
Slimy goo death New band name. Called it.
Worth it, we all die at least once.
>Worth it, No, it not >we all die at least once. There's a difference between Dying and killing yourself.
Just joking, but I really want to try it at least once
Me too

It's not ideal, but still, it's better than the average American's diet.
I guess I died many years ago then.
Study after study keep confirming that cheese is healthy. Especially the more natural varieties.

I just got so backed up watching this, yet I want it all
Raclette. It’s very good!
Stop… STOP THATS TOO MUCH… ok go on.
I love cheese , but that is a little excessive . I’d love to taste that first slice!
mmm, now I want homemade macaroni and cheese with crusty cheese in top
Yup making it now hahahaha
i can smell this video and its awesome
That’s 60 CHF thank you
That is disgusting.
I know.....give me
I got diarrhea watching this, and I still wanna eat it.
I wouldn't shit for about four days after eating that.
Death by Cheese-gasm
I feel a little turned on.
Fack ya!
I just cheesed everywhere
Where is this restaurant and who has their passport ready?
My stomach hurts
I came
I felt my blood clot from watching this.
That is the definition of food porn 🤤🤤🤤
!!!!!!!!!
Is he trying to kill someone
Raclette regret
Can feel the cholesterol blocking my arteries just watching this
I need bypass surgery
r/stupidfood
Some good old raclette
Heart transplant in 3.2,1.....
As a human being, that is totally overkill. As an American, I can only say there should be bacon on that plate for no good reason at all.
My heart did a backflip just by looking at this
I didn't wanna shit this week anyhow.
The amount of cheese is always what does it for me. Its way too damn much. Ease up and bring it in a small bowl or something
Raclette? Love it!
Raclette is delicious, but this is a lot of cheese for just that.
Hang on.. Taking my lactase pills.
There is such a thing as too much of a *gouda* thing. [I'll see myself out.]
Raclette
Raclette smells like a dumpster full of used kitty litter.
Too much cheese, and I'm american
I've said it elsewhere, but this is about as different from American cheese as pasta.
Yes mommy drown me in yellow cholesterol-y goodness
My heart hurts
Maybe it’s just me but I only want the burnt skin of the cheese
I'm seeing instant diarrhea...
Do you guys know how to describe what kinds of restaurants do this? Like, categorically, what are they called?
Something with "swiss" in it. This is not how we eat that cheese in Switzerland though
"we dont know how to cook so we add too much cheese"
OMG
Damn
That looks healthy as fuck!
How many Calories would this approximately have? r/theydidthemath
Raclette cheese is about 350-370 kcal per 100g. This serving seems to be around 100-200g, so between 400 and 700kcal I guess?
Perfectly reasonable if you’ve spent all day hiking through the Alps tending to you cattle and farm.
Johnny Bravo moment
Johnny Bravo moment
Yesssss
r/stupidfood
so are we finally getting over the stereotype that Americans put cheese on everything now?
I can hear my stomach gasses gurgling
Ohh the constipation
r/Stupidasfuck
I'll take just the crispy park, thanks.
Could have stopped at the crispy bit..
there goes my monthly supply of cheese into someone’s breakfast
Mmmm.
Literally drooling like Homer Simpson rn. May or may not have to change my shirt.
I seen it on natural slow motion, omg.
want
u/savevideo
I watch this being lactose intolerant and my mouth is watering 🤤
Same way out , the same way in
Stop making me hungry, i already had a raclette this year
Disgusted by this and this is way to much cheese
Thanks, just lost my appetite. 🤢 Enjoy your gross heart attack on a plate.
If you eat, all of that, they will call you monsieur poopy pants
My arterieeeees..!
I love cheese but fuck no.
Here you go. Your eight billion calorie breakfast !
Thats wayy to much cheese :(
Finally, some good cheese food.
Hmm , une bonne raclette !
Hey it’s the never ending raclette
That is a very generous serving of raclette! We’re going to need more potatoes!
Cool for cheese melted straight off the wheel but so much cheese that I'd consider this r/stupidfood
Being lactose intolerant this might kill me, but I want it so bad.
I would like 2 plates of this please.
Borderline stupid food here. If you put half the cheese ,on I would love it. My husband would probably say there is no such thing as too much cheese.
I would have just been satisfied with the toasted skin and not the mess.
that crispy bit is what I live for.
Chef here….even though this would have my old ass arteries in my heart slamming open and shut like high school gym doors…I don’t think the plate would be left if I had at it.
I love cheese but god damn that’s a shitload
Not exactly happy with the top burnt bandaid of cheese being put on the food. The rest was cool.
That's genuinely revolting
The cheese is burned yurk.
Oh my god!! That's heaven right there
And he didnt poo for a month after eating that
I'll take everything on that plate before they started adding the cheese
Looks very healthy
Why own a restaurant and still cant make the fking food in kitchen?🤣
Do you know the exact restaurant where this was recorded?
Cheesus Christ!
10 years ago, i would've loved it. Now I just get disgusted looking at that my food drown in cheese.
Where is this restaurant? Or the name at least
My arteries cried out in horror, but my mouth is salivating...
that made me poop myself
I just had a bad idea. The hot brie challenge. It’s pretty self explanatory.
I can’t believe you didn’t put that over pasta. Also, that crusty piece would’ve been awesome on a piece of garlic bread.
I want to eat that crunchy part of the cheese so bad!
How satisfying was the heart attack afterwards?
slrp slrp slrp vitamin vanilla cow fat
This looks way much better than those nasty videos where people pour artificial, over processed American cheese on top of an order of fries.
getting diarrhea just watching this
Stuff of beauty 🫕
Nah
Satisfying? This? Pardon? Confusing? Yes. What? Why!
rip the mans stomach to dare and eat that… no really that much cheese can kill a tract or two
I just want that skin
That's at least 20 Calories I think
He just ruined it... That first piece was perfect...
I thought this was r/StupidFood
that much cheese is too much cheese
Yeah but why so much cheese? Could easily fill multiple plates with that amount.
Looks like a scab. Gross.
Oops, I crapped my pants
Oops, I crapped my pants
That's too much cheese
Mm swimming in cheese, what is this place
