Okay, who eats the rind of their Brie and who doesn't?

I eat the rind but very reluctantly. Too much of a pain to take it off. Kate, sorry we could not chat more tonight. Timing was off I guess. Hopefully another night. Are you not a full day ahead or is it more like 12 hours...???

Options

Wait a minute, is not eating the rind an option?

Full disclosure: I volunteer to eat the bread from the ends of the loaf (is there a name for those pieces?) so I may not be the ideal candidate for this survey.

Sorry Kanga

Forgot the question for a moment ...

Yes - I do eat the rind .... BUT ... I never inhale.

Tawn, live outside the square love, inhale.

Right, the Kanga has pressing business issues to deal with tonight but will get back to this rather serious exchange in the fullness of time.

Beryl, life is full of options.

Beryl,
The outside ends of the bread are referred to as the "heels" and yes, I agree, they are the best part. Especially with sourdough bread.

If the brie cheese is cold, I eat most of the rind reluctantly because it's too difficult to get off.
It the brie cheese is warm, I peel it off and just spread the yummy gooey stuff on the heel of my sourdough bread. Yum. With roasted garlic.

Time for breakfast!

I eat it without when I buy it already encroute with cranberries and walnuts to cook in the oven...yum! Otherwise, small slices with unless I'm putting it in a salad or sandwich then I have to take the rind off. Truth be told though...a nice camembert is a bit milder but still have to deal with the rind!

I am Philistine

What's wrong with a good old chunk of mature cheddar, Branston Pickle ? - With a crusty roll, and a nice crispy green salad on the side ???

You lot are far to sophisticated for me .

Think I'll give a Wide Berth to the stinky cheese !!!!

we are world reknowned for our cuisine --- deep fried battered Mars Bars - Glasgow's speciality. !!!!! :H

Have to agree on that one......I have grown up some in my cheese selection.
How about some chili-cheese-fries? Of course not for me, but grandkids love them....get them at Johnny Rockets in the USA! You have to try ther cheese burger too!
No fat there!:H
