Judt spent the evening with someone nambypambying about just eating the middly bit.

Wimps.

I eat it, always assumed it was just part of the Brie, surely if you are just eating the 'squidge' then it's a bit bland?

On that note, are you meant to eat the orangey bit from the Port Salut?

iloveny001 · 02/01/2014 22:49

Im a bit funny with cheese, has to be melted. But brie find is the best thing ever!

Wallison · 02/01/2014 22:52

I never thought you weren't supposed to eat it. Have I committed some kind of faux-pas? PatTheHammer I eat the orangey bit but now I'm starting to doubt myself.

bountyicecream · 02/01/2014 22:53

I used to cut the orangey bit off, but then realised it doesn't actually taste so usually am too lazy to bother

pinkandsparklytoo · 02/01/2014 22:53

I only recently discovered that you are in fact meant to eat the skin. I still don't do it though.

I once caught my DP eating the 'skin' of Edam (I.e. the red plastic)! It's def not edible!

Yama · 02/01/2014 22:54

What an utter waste to not eat the skin.

Right, I'm off the fridge.

CaptainSweatPants · 02/01/2014 22:56

I eat the foil off me dairylea triangle

princessalbert · 02/01/2014 23:00

Oof Captainsweatpants

My fillings are twanging just thinking about that!!

I want cheese now.

WilsonFrickett · 02/01/2014 23:00

I've finished my Brie Sad it had black pepper rubbed into the skin and was fanfuckingtastic.

If people choose to peel the skin, they should cut themselves a triangular piece from the main cheese first. It is a breach of ettiquette to slice squidgy cheese in any other way, as the centre is the most delicious bit and so no-one should take too much of it. might have been given a book on manners for my Christmas

Rowlers · 02/01/2014 23:06

Any cheese with a plastic skin isn't really proper cheese.

Never even considered that Brie even had 'skin' - it's part and parcel of the cheese!

Do you shit glitter Captain ?

GideonKipper · 02/01/2014 23:39

I normally have French Brie - is that known for having an 'up your nose' type of pungency?

Maybe I'm just a cheese wimp: I can only have Stilton with digestive biscuits (preferably the Hovis ones at that).

HOMEQCRICH · 02/01/2014 23:46

I love making Edam 'skin' sculptures! I bet they don't teach that at Rodean!

HOMEQCRICH · 02/01/2014 23:47

Off topic but a buttered weetabix always goes down well here too!!

wtf1981 · 02/01/2014 23:53

Never noticed anyone not eat the skin! It's all good!

Nombrechanger · 02/01/2014 23:54

I never know whether to peel a chorizo.

HOMEQCRICH · 02/01/2014 23:58

I do nombre but I don't think its the norm!

Nombrechanger · 03/01/2014 00:14

Cwtches

HOMEQCRICH · 03/01/2014 00:20

Cwtch fawr nombre!

Clarabumps · 03/01/2014 00:20

i didn't know people DIDN'T eat the skin. I eat the skin on Camembert too Blush

DailyMailGail · 03/01/2014 00:49

The skin is the very, very best bit. You all know it's fully populated with cheese mites though, yes?

IneedAwittierNickname · 03/01/2014 01:08

Clara ds2 and I had baked camembert for lunch, complete with skin. It was bloody gorgeous!

I worked in a cafe as a student and one of the other waitresses there told me the smell hot Brie reminded her of semen. That's not the word she used but you get the gist. Obviously the personal hygiene of her then boyfriend was probably suspect but I have never been able to eat it since.
