In the episode "Our Figures are Slipping" Miss Brahms says she doesn't like cheese (neither do I. It's disgusting) but In "The Clock" when they are discussing Mr Grainger's dinner, she says "I'd go for the macaroni cheese myself." Did the writers forget that she didn't like it or was she just being sarcastic?

LOL. Maybe she only likes it over pasta :roll:
Besides, it was the cheapest menu option.

But seriously, the writers "forgot" alot of things as the show went along (like how Mr. Humphries went from his mom staying with him because she'd had a fight with his dad, to later in the series where he was a mama's boy who'd never even left home.) The list could go on and on (Mrs. Slocombe's name, the many different incarnations (description/age/gender) of Tiddles, James,I mean, Dick Lucas...etc.

I think we just have to chalk it up to being just one of those minute things the writers didn't dwell on. I think also, audiences probably weren't so picky about every detail back then, as we obssessed fans are now. :roll:

I know someone who doesn't like cheese but will eat it on pizza. So maybe she just likes her cheese in macaroni cheese. :anglophile:

I agree with Dean on this one but this is still a nice one for the "Bloopers" thread.

It was a joke, in the show.

Or was Miss Brahms, {Tired of eating cheese}, because she could afford it ?

Cheese ..... even though can be costly, is cheap ... in cooking. :chef:

Just compared it to meat all the time. {And we American, as a whole eat a lot of meat}.

A little cheese goes a long way.

I prefer all my cheese cooked. I never eat American "cheese" hot or cold.

There are few things that turn me on more than a gorgeous cheese board. :yes: And this is what people generally get for dessert at my house. I'll add some berries :duck: and grapes, small pastries, and Carr's water crackers. The kind made with real water. :p I don't understand cheese haters. Melt some cheese on my shoe and I'll eat it. I don't even need it melted.

Agree with Dean on this one: she picked the macaroni cheese seeing as how she's a poor junior and it's the cheapest option. Lucas went the same way for the same reason.

Myself, there's some foods that I love if prepared a certain way but won't touch them otherwise. Like tomatos (es?): I'll eat them any way but raw. There's little I hate more than a raw tomato.

Put bacon on almost anything and I will inhale it. Same with cheese. Put bacon and cheese together and stand back. This is why I could never convert to Judaism--I can't give that up :)

All the Jewish people I know (such as my brother in law) eat bacon. Shhhhh!! ;) In the Catskills many hotels gave up on keeping Kosher and brought bacon in for breakfast as well as other non kosher foods like shrimp. In order to "get around" this, there would be a "ritual sale" of the hotel on Friday nights at the Grossinger. So that the owners needn't feel guilty. :singer:
