E.g. Tangy cheese on toast.Sounds revolting mixing jam and cheese but this is so easy to make you might as well give it a go.
Make your cheese on toast as you normally would but this time spread a little marmalade on it (start with just one corner first if you are not convinced). The stronger the cheddar the better so you get a really good sweet and sour contrast.

Pork
E.g. Croque Monsieur.The ham and cheese sandwich is everywhere. The British keep things simple, adding only butter, mustard, or Branston pickle. The French have the 'croque monsieur'. It has the same ingredients but this time the cheese is placed on top of the sandwich and together dunked in beaten eggs and fried in butter. Finally across the pond in Miami, Cuban Americans invented the Cubano sandwich which combines swiss cheese, ham, and roasted pork.
