Rind on Brie

I eat it. I like the stronger flavour in the rind and the chewy texture.

I always eat the rind. Someone will correct me, but I believe the French eat the rind as they do that of Camembert.

Another rind eater here. Waste not want not ?

Dh and DD1 love it. Is there much apart from rind really?

Another one who eats the rind as well
Especially like the rind on Stilton

The rind is the best bit!

Yes, we eat the rind. Not seen any left on French plates.

I eat it best part yummy

Oh dear no thank you. Spend ages cutting every visible piece of

eat it- for sure. But Stilton rind, no.

We eat it.

Eat it of course . It never occurred to me that people wouldn’t eat it ?

Always eat the rind on soft cheese, but never eat the rind on any sort of hard cheese.

Yes, apart from the edge bit iyswim.
Don't ask me why.
It's yeast, isn't it? A bit of penicillin.

I've never known anyone not eat the rind!

Oh dear well that would be me Oopsminty.

The rind is the best part of it. I can't really see how you can eat brie, camembert and similar cheeses without the rind anyway.

It's not just soft cheeses with me. I like the rind on cheddar too. I mean real cheddar not the soapy muck you get wrapped in plastic from the supermarket. Also I like chewing on the leathery rind of parmesan but that I know is downright eccentric of me.

I eat the rind. It is all part of it. So do the French.
DH cuts it off, but I hate to se it wasted.

Have you tried wrapping small pieces of Brie in something like filo or flakey pastry and cooking in oven - things such as cranberry is lovely popped inside too - little parcels with a salad make a lovely lunch. I intend to try a sharp marmalade inside next time.
Coummiers and Camembert work well too.

Cabbie21, it wouldn't be wasted if I was around. I'd grab it!

Welshwife: Pieces of brie or camembert never last long enough in my house to get wrapped or put in an oven!

I'm glad it's not just me Cabbie; Mr. S. likes the rind too.

No no no. Just scoop out the soft cheese in the middle and chuck the thick dried up crusty bit in the bin. Then go out and get a nice bit of Stilton and eat the lot.

Yes eat it all. I buy Cornish and Somerset brie now which is lovely.
