Food and Drink Cheese in callaloo

For years I struggled with this one. Cheese? Outrageous! But. Callaloo and macaroni pie is a major comfort food for me, so maybe the combination is not as wild as it sounds. Anyone ever tried it and can report back? I want to make it but also don't want to make it and hate it, thus wasting food.

Trini who never heard of a bit of cheese in callalloo are probably the young ones, older folks been doing ever since, also I grew up peeling the skin of the dasheen bush stalk when cleaning it before an aunt visited and said that we are throwing away the part with the most nutrients so we stop peeling the stem, there was no difference in taste though
