To think I could happily never eat cheese again

[Drizzlehair]

Went shopping today, cheese on the list. DH puts brie in the basket.

It is so overrated, tasteless lardy crap.
I love a ripe camembert, a good Stilton or gorgonzola, feta and Halloumi are heaven. I like most cheeses. But brie doesn't deserve the name. It's such a waste of the title "cheese"

I don't think he likes it either, it's just on his tick list of 'non cheddar cheeses'

Apart from this he's an adventurous eater and likes good food. But fucking brie!

Am I alone?

If anyone knows a good brie let me know. I've tried leaving it at room temperature for a few days hours and it improves it from completely tasteless bla to pretty tasteless bla.

I think if he buys Brie he probably likes Brie....

I'm a big fan of plain old mature cheddar myself.
You can't go wrong with it in a sarnie.

Try Somerset brie, I used to love it but I can't digest cheese since I had my gall bladder removed.

I love a ripe camembert, a good Stilton or gorgonzola, feta and Halloumi are heaven. I like most cheeses.

So why could you happily never eat cheese again?

Not a Brie but you need Stinking Bishop.

I’ve never eaten cheese and I’ve survived fairly well!

What kind of click bait title is that?
I agree brie is a poor cheese effort but the scandalous title?

Yeah, Brie is underwhelming as cheeses go. Most cheese is great!

I like brie, but it is best when it's been left out of the fridge for a while and it's starting to crawl across the counter top. Straight from the fridge and yes, it is a bit lardy and tasteless.

You love cheese but would happily never eat it.

You also despise Brie.

Well ... thanks for the update on that OP. I’m sure everyone who reads your thread genuinely gives a shit.

Nepal, methinks op was being tongue in cheek.

I love cheese but Brie isn’t my favourite.

I’m a bit boring currently with my cheese I am loving chunks of extra mature cheddar with red onion chutney

Brie is a disappointing cheese.

It's one step up from plastic 'cheese' slices

I like St Endellion Brie for Cornwall, you can get it in some supermarkets.

You have to keep it until it's properly ripe, I never eat supermarket cheese until it's reached it best before date, sometimes this takes a couple of weeks.

You all need to try Rollright. It’s a game changer.

Good Brie is amazing
underripe supermarket brie is a bit meh but still ok
Blue cheese belongs to Satan

I hate the gross waxy rind on Brie. I don't mind it melted in a panini with bacon and onion relish but I wouldn't ever buy Brie by itself. I do love most cheeses though!

I like Brie, it’s a fairly ‘easy’ cheese as far as they go.

Can’t say I get passionate about cheese I don’t like either though

The best of French cheese imo is Comte.

I've recently discovered ossau-iraty and can't get enough of it.

I do like brie though.

Anyone who wants to give up cheese needs some serious intervention.

Get your DH to buy some Cambozola blue brie - leave it out of the fridge until it's room temperature, then scoff it all. I promise it's the perfect mix of creamy and blue.

Brie is my favourite

You are unreasonable for making me want cheese at this time on a Sunday with an empty fridge

When I read the title MrsM I keyed in the Samaritans number.
Giving up cheese indeed.
