You deserve some kind of award for this sentence: 'and your disgustingly plebeian tastes cannot be trusted to deliver anything providing the remotest bit of gustatory satisfaction with the slight exception of that piece of meat between your legs.' Its so very brilliant I want to squeeze you!!

*giggles* *squeezes you right back*
FANTASTIC! hilarious! would love the chocolate encounter and any others you could think up.
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
Thanks so very much! Glad you enjoyed it! We'll see if the muse ever gets inspired to ponder this group and future culinary distractions. :)
Ewwww....easycheese...give me philadelphia anyday! Being a Brit, but with a brother in Texas, I do unfortunately have experience of said product. Like you I hesitate to call it 'cheese'! Hmmmm, though the thought of Severus licking ANYTHING off my body causes a total bodily meltdown! Please pass the mop on your way out! I'm not sure I can look at a bar of Galaxy in quite the same way ever again!......Incidentally....have you ever tried being a human fruit trifle....my husband is a Strawberry farmer and we have 3 kids!!!! Guess why?????
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
At all costs, you must keep this export from crossing the seas. Seriously. You know what it is and the horrific culinary dangers it could bring. :) Mmmmm. Strawberries... Sush... I'm imagining life as a strawberry farmer's wife to be a very pleasant task indeed.*passes mop*
Orange cheese. *shudder* :P I think I'm with Lucius on this one!
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
It's truly horrible. Though part of me thinks that Frankie would eat it...
How do you do it? You make this unlikely trio sexy and funny all at once? I wore a smile the whole time I was reading this.This paragraph:'You,' Lucius said to Severus as he levitated a tray piled with food and wine in front of him, 'and your disgustingly plebeian tastes cannot be trusted to deliver anything providing the remotest bit of gustatory satisfaction with the slight exception of that piece of meat between your legs.'That's the funniest thing I read since the story you posted last week. Just like Severus, Lucius makes an art form of hiding a compliment deep inside a criticism. You slay me, PJ.

*blushes* Thank you very, very much, my dear. You've made me rather proud of that line. *preens* What a lovely review!
I'm not so certain it's actual food, either. Bleah. Still, for Severus's purposes, it served admirably.May I thank you for the delectable alliteration you slipped into this gem of fanfic - "this foray into fanciful fromagery" - I do so appreciate a good alliteration!Lovely fic, funny and sweet - but not cheesy
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
Thank you so very much!!! I'm particularly glad you appreciate the alliteration. It might be the only bit I've ever intentionally slipped in. I find it hard to write without sounding hokey. I'm glad you thought it good!

although now i have a quest. will ask claas to take me to asda tomorrow and i will search for it. i really could go for some ez cheez.
Author's Response: I gawds. What a horrific unintended consequence. Dare I ask if you were successful?
Kreacher Komfort's response: havnet made it yet. hopefully tomorrow (friday). come on, pj, it's ME, the one who cant write a fic without mcdonalds or a kfc. why wouldnt you think i'd like cheez in can???
Author's Response: *sigh* I know, I know. Shoulda known better. Was hoping that sense would overwhelm taste? :)
Kreacher Komfort's response: you know, england is ruining me for food. it's horrible. im going to go home now and not be able to eat kraft mac & cheez. what the HELL will i live on???

No, i dont think so. i've never seen ez cheez at an asda. they actually dont have many imports. it's owned by walmart but it's still british - importing is expensive. - rdholmantx
Author's Response: It overjoys me to hear that this bit of processed goodness has not made it across the pond then. True, importing is expensive.
Kreacher Komfort's response: god i miss velveeta and polyethylene glycol.
Author's Response: *vomits*
Kreacher Komfort's response:
see, it's going to be easy for you to run a marathon, you eat right and way less than my right arm. where's the challenge in that? we're set for 2011, right?
Author's Response: 2011, heck yeah. I've been doing my PT like a good girl. You'll figure out how to get me in, yes? Either that, or I have to enter the lottery.
Kreacher Komfort's response: did i just use the wrong "weigh"? yeesh. well, i suppose we could just do cincy. they have a marathon, right? im not sure if there are qualifers for london or what.
Author's Response: dude... you did use the wrong weigh. One doesn't need to qualify... we can volunteer for charity I believe. Cincy is HILLY, but yes, there's a marathon. The full route goes past my house, so we can stop in for a nice comfortable pee. Although it will mean going up stairs for a pee. Or we could choose a not so popular marathon on your side of the pond. Dude, can we start an LJ called Run, Fangirl, Run?
Kreacher Komfort's response: ah, man, that's cool. do it. the LJ thing i mean. i cant believe i used the wrong word for weigh. i love that word. i hate hills. let's run the Dallas marathon instead. it's flat. there's one in dec and one in apr. we could run the austin marathon and crash with dani. but there's probably HILLS. yuck. im so lazy.
Noone has ever used easy cheese the way that Severus was trying to use it because as has been stated, it is a hit with the under 8 crowd only. Lucius would absolutely die if they hadn't pitched the can in the trash, but kept it, and the next day tried to squirt it, only to find that hard, crusty piece of "cheese" that is forever molded in the shape of the canister tip. Bleh! And, didn't everyone have a friend like Ron who could manage at least half of the can directly into their mouth!? Good memories though...
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
Oh! The hard crusty bit! I'd forgotten about the hard crusty bit! Now I'm giggling at the thought of Lucius finding the can. Well, and shuddering a bit. Thanks for the entertaining review!!!!
Very funny. When growing up, we called it spray cheese, but that might be regional.
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
I believe it went by the name spray cheese in our house too. Ah, spray cheese and a Town House cracker. The height of childhood sophistication. That and ginger ale.
I laughed so hard I snorted, and then I had to explain it too my roommate. Thank you.
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
You're very, very welcome. *grins and passes roommate a can of Easy Cheese*
I have to tell you the secret of Easy Cheese - but you have to promise to keep it to yourself. Kraft can say there is real cheese in it because, for 1 million cans produced, they use, somewhere, 1/2 oz of cheese. *smiles... have a wonderful evening. Thanks for the great story. Sara
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
Aaaah. So good to know the golden ratio of 1,000,000 cans to 1/2 oz. cheese. And here I'd suspected it was closer to 1/4 oz. :) I shall carry the secret to my grave. Thanks for the lovely review!
Cute story made me giggle. :) I loved how Severus got Lucius to bring out the good cheese. Yes I have to agree that easy cheese is not very good.
Response from pyjamapants (Author of It's Not Easy Being Cheesy)
Glad I could make you giggle! I really enjoy writing one Slytherin manipulating the other. Great fun indeed.
I'm with Lucius on this one, cheese in a spray can is just so wrong on so many different levels, it makes me shudder.
