I have just found a whole Brie lurking in the fridge, best before May 22nd...

Brie and bacon rolls for tea, or chuck it in the bin?

If it looks ok, smells ok and tastes ok I'd eat it.

AnnetteCurtains · 15/06/2017 17:37

Eat Grin its mould anyway , more flavour

delilahbucket · 15/06/2017 17:38

Does it look and smell ok? If it tastes ok go for it. I don't really follow best before or use by dates. I go by sight and smell. Even with cheese!

FruBayerischOla · 15/06/2017 17:39

Should be fine - I'd eat it!

FruBayerischOla · 15/06/2017 17:40

Oh, and given that cheese like that shouldn't be kept in the fridge in the first place, it's hardly likely to have gone off!

If you don't want it I'll have it, there isn't enough Brie in the world.

FakePlasticTeaLeaves · 15/06/2017 17:46

Just try it and see.
So jealous. Love Brie. Love cheese. Want now.

BringOnTheScience · 15/06/2017 17:48

It'll be nicely ripe by now. Delicious :-)

BrouetteChouette · 15/06/2017 17:49

YADNBU!! :) Brie and bacon rolls sound 👍👍👍

wonkylegs · 15/06/2017 17:50

With cheese you should always go by look & smell not BB dates which are usually ridiculously conservative for stuff like Brie.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 15/06/2017 17:51

Be guided by your senses.
Take the terms "best" before and use by literally

Oblomov17 · 15/06/2017 17:53

I would eat it, I don't pay that much attention to best before dates.

TheDogsMother · 15/06/2017 17:54

YABU

Don't eat it, definitely not. Give it to me instead and I will dispose of it safely Grin

Oblomov17 · 15/06/2017 17:54

It'll be fine!!

stabilolikeaboss · 15/06/2017 17:59

I buy Brie and Camembert and specifically wait until after the best before date, often by 1-2 months as it matures and crawls across the plate by then which is when it tastes best. I have not suffered yet.

BrexitSucks · 15/06/2017 18:28

mmm... I'd go on smell & taste. Brie doesn't last well, so probably not good. But if it tastes & smells ok, fine, use it up.

MrsABrown72 · 15/06/2017 21:11

I am still eating a Brie and a Camembert that is BBF May Bank Holiday . I am only one in house who eats it so it takes a while to use up. I had a father who would wait til the brie was running before he considered it ready to eat though...

Brie is pretty much extremely delicious old moldy cheese. Eatup. Enjoy.

Now I want bloody brie...
