What?! Yuck, no!

AffIt · 26/02/2025 17:58

It's my favourite bit!

TheMorels · 26/02/2025 17:59

Best bit!

NamelessNancy · 26/02/2025 17:59

You'd BU not to!

Liveafr · 26/02/2025 18:00

It's fine

The rind is edible and meant to be eaten with the soft cheese. I hate it when people scrape out the soft bit and leave behind the rind. Very bad manners.

GrainneIsAinmDom · 26/02/2025 18:00

I eat it too 🤷‍♀️

Does he scoop out the middle of a slice when he eats it?

Bonjovispyjamas · 26/02/2025 18:02

Of course you eat it, every part of camembert is delicious 😋

Love the rind!

NamelessNancy · 26/02/2025 18:03

Besides, if you remove the rind surely there's hardly any cheese left?

tobee · 26/02/2025 18:15

Of course. I love the contrast. Don't really get why you wouldn't

TheMorels · 26/02/2025 18:18

I really want baked Camembert now.

Ultravox · 26/02/2025 18:19

Eh? Of course it’s meant to be eaten

SeeYouNextThriday · 26/02/2025 18:21

How do you hold it if you remove the rind?

Pigeonqueen · 26/02/2025 18:22

Love it! Definitely not inedible!

oh yes! i'm with you! and the rind of brie too! best bits!!

He's being daft. Of course it's edible, it's always been edible. They'd have a scull & crossbones on the packaging otherwise. Everyone I know eats the rind but it is of course down to personal choice.

I bet he cuts the crust off his bread.

Of course you should eat the rind, it's all part of the taste experience!

Igneococcus · 26/02/2025 18:43

I eat it, I really like the contrast of the texture of the rind with the gooey inside but I was at a cheese tasting at a really fancy cheese shop in Toulouse a few years ago and the woman who did the tasting was adamant that it needs cutting off. Not because it's dangerous to eat but she claimed it tastes bitter. I still eat the rind though.

Hapagirl48 · 26/02/2025 19:05

I didn’t know it was an option not to eat it 😂. Why wouldn’t you.

PrancerandDancer · 26/02/2025 19:07

I find the ride makes a lovely edible scoop for the warm gooey cheese 😋

GetMyAgentOnThePhone · 26/02/2025 19:08

Course you eat it. Your brother is a weirdo!
