Do you eat the rind on soft cheeses ?

[Dave7]

I have never felt inclined to eat it. We had extended family round for a buffet and Brei was part of it. I was surprised that I was the only person not to eat the rind.
Googled it this morning to see if I am correct. Apparently I have been missing the tastiest part!!
Not ALL rind of course. I came across a funny account of a woman who had read that the rind was good in soups etc but had a disaster when she tried it. She hadn't realised that Dutch Edam rind was different

 

[captain nemo1701]

Yep, I do...except Edam LOL!.

 

[kapelmuur]

I always ate the rind on Edam when I was a child, that was 60 years ago and it may be made of something different now.

 

[Markymark]

I eat the plastic my cheese strings come in.

 

[MontyVeda]

yup... far too much faff to keep cutting it off... like what some weirdos do.

No wonder you voted for Brexit.

Still is apparently. It is food grade so wont make you ill but its not meant to be eaten.

 

[woodbutcher]

Not sure if l would eat Brei but l would definitely eat Brie and specially Brie de meaux

I would probably aet brei rind

 

[Slioch]

Cheese? Did someone mention cheese?

I'll eat anything cheese related. My latest achievement was to eat a 2 month out of date Stilton, rind and all.

Mrs S thinks I'm weird, but I believe cheese never goes out of date, it just gets better with age.

Like the jacket, on a jacket potato.

Cornish yarg is covered with nettle leaves, which add texture to the taste.

But do you eat the maggots in cheese?
My late father-in-law visited an old farmer many years ago and was invited to partake of tea with bread & cheese. Jim noticed the cheese was heaving a bit and mentioned this to the old fellow. Whose response was "They'm only gonna taste of cheese, ain'em", and mashed the maggoty cheese on to his bread. Jim wasn't by nature a squeamish person, but this made an impression on him.
