Thing is you have high expectations of it being a replacement for a choc egg which it is not, any other time if someone give you same piece blind folded then you would thoroughly enjoy it if your a cheese lover.

That's my theory anyway, it's bit like enjoying a fine steak cooked to your own liking but instead being given an alternative instead of steak, it will always be second best & not come up to expected standard.

Find thats same with many food substitutions from own experience.

None of you tempted by the cheese easter eggs?

M&S is now selling a six pack of cheese Easter eggs | Scotsman Food and Drink

With Easter only a few weeks away, it's almost time to enjoy chocolate at all times of the day. But if you fancy a break from the sweet stuff then M&am ...

No, absolutely not

Cadbury's chocolate has been rubbish ever since they were taken over by Kraft (Mondelez). Easter eggs are such poor value and I've not touched one for years. My Easter treat if I can be bothered is a Lindt dark chocolate bunny, which usually lasts me to somewhen in June!

Wow ,That's impressive.

Overrated, Overpriced.

True, but alas irresistible.

They weren't trying it as a replacement as chocolate egg it was just sent to them they just said it wasn't nice cheese.

I like nice cheeses. I don't want something which has been mass produced and then had emulsifiers added so they can pump it through tubes on a factory production line to force it into egg shaped moulds. Even if it is good quality cheese to start with, it will be ruined by the processing. Hope no one gets me one. I am particular about the cheeses I like and this idea does not appeal to me at all.

What I really don't get is the chesse in a can thing you shouldn't be able to spray cheese.

I know all the logic of the comparative price of a bar of chocolate compared to the eggs, but….… the crunch as you bite into the egg …. irresistible
