Beer and Cheddar Soup
February 7th, 2009 by Romelda
Don’t ask me why we have been trying new soup recipes (as Heather is not a huge fan of soups), but we have.
Even though we’re not beer drinkers or lovers by any means, we decided that the “cheddar” part of this recipe made it worth trying, and it was a cold night, so why not. Looked pretty straight forward to me. Now all we needed was the beer. Not knowing our beers exactly, Heather called from the liquor store and asked what the difference between pale ale and dark ale was. Why was she asking me? I don’t drink beer! I tell her “the colour?” I suggested she mention to an LCBO staff member that she is making a recipe that calls for “ale” (the original called for dark, but I suggest that light might be better, or whatever kind you enjoy best) and ask for suggestions. In the end, she was confused and couldn’t decide, so she came home with one can of each, light, medium and dark ale. I couldn’t help but laugh at us and our lack of beer knowledge. We have the same trouble with wine to be honest. But beer is beer isn’t it? (Every beer drinker on the planet will argue otherwise I am sure!) Read the rest of this entry »
