Cob Gate

[Lionator]

So our city has come under a heinous attack. 
 

A good human posted an innocuous photo of the great Blue Boar Cheese and Onion cob. 
 

The vitriol and responses he has received have been ghastly. Our cities reputation is being torn up from San Francisco to Ankara. It’s time to mobilise, defend the GREAT cuisine of our city.

The Americans can f**k off tbh. They've got no right to talk anything cheese related given the "American style imitation cheese" they stick on things. 

 

I look at that picture and it's clearing my sinuses just thinking of the onion. A cracking sandwich even if he's been particularly stingey on the cheddar...

Cob?  Don’t you mean….

 

[Tommy G]

Got to be crusty, anyone who puts that in a soft cob needs a talking to. 

[RoboFox]

I saw this on Reddit. The Blue Boar have done very well out of people sharing pics of these absurd sangers 

 

Americans coming out with stuff like "the Luftwaffe aren't still flying overhead". Get fvcked you aerosol-cheese-in-a-can-eating philistines.

 

You seen how expensive chee is these days? That inch thick slice of pure English ched alone costs more than the US living wage.

Crusty cobs are manna from heaven

 

Soft baps are the work of the devil

Scatts in Braunstone back in the day. Carcinogenic cobs, burnt to a cinder filled with a massive hock of ham. Glorious. Get me on one of those terrible nostalgia pages.

The Americans are in no position to laugh at the majority of UK food efforts, but there aren't many others that can't IMO.

[Daggers]

First they came for the cobs...

The American becomes scared and confused when confronted with raw ingredients. I've seen this countless times in Italy. When presented with something simple but delicious and made with natural, quality ingredients, the American complains that it is "bland", "too dry" or "boring" and starts waxing lyrical about the 'food' from their culturally impoverished, violent backwater, by which they mean hyper-flavoured, greasy slop full of carcinogens.

I've never got these cobs, that is simply too much cheese – you could split that over two cobs and still have a good amount of cheese.

 

BUT, if the Yanks, a people whose national food is cholesterol wanna pipe up then I'll defend those cobs to the hilt

'Bob's cobs' at the Richard the third pub in the years leading up to & including the title winning season, crusty cob with a good slice of onion & an even thicker slice of cheese, £1 a pop.

Made you drink a bit more!

Absolutely. I'm on an American ship. Yesterday I ordered some cheese and bacon loaded fries. Expecting fries with lovely melting cheese and bacon. It had an awful orange sauce instead of cheese. WTF!!!

If that cob was crusty you’d be chewing it forever. 
 

Some Americans completely missed the point, droning “it’d be ok if the onions were caramelised” it’s a £2 pub snack ffs.

[Samilktray]

Eating that much raw onion in something is a bit too perverted for me 

[StanSP]

It's not a story until it reaches a debate in parliament...

[Guest Lako42]

Their ham and tomato are banging with a pint and a bag of crisps. 

 

Exactly the same down the rock in whitwick

I was gonna say the same. His wife Bea would make them and the onion was the strongest I've ever tasted

 

Worked for them for a little while (pre you know what)

Wouldn’t be surprised if they get people walking in just to buy a cob and then walk out. They could do a real solid by adding a pound on takeout cobs.
