To eat the rind of camembert?

[Blubbles]

DBro thinks it inedible 😂

Prob best to post on French Mumsnet but I think rind is fine.

How on earth would you handle or a baked Camembert if you don't eat the rind?!

Does he just scoop the middle out and leave all the white? He's a philistine.

With fresh baguette, roast garlic and rosemary potatoes...yes?

I trim the worst off round the outside, but not worried about the top and bottom. It's certainly not the best bit but its fairly inoffensive and seems wasteful, there'd be nothing left

It’s the nicest part of the cheese

Why would you not?

It's the best bit. Especially when it's hot and dripping with olive oil, salt, chilli and honey.

Genuinely astounded that people don’t eat it, AND that someone went to a French cheese tasting where they suggested removing it?!

Absolutely integral to the deliciousness imo!

Yum, what a waste to leave it

It's the best bit 😋 my mum didn't like it so I got all the runs!

Though what's blowing my mind is people eating camembert not baked?! Of course I know you can, but never known anyone to eat a slice of it 🤣

I love it as it adds texture

I'm in the minority, I love camembert (baked especially, with crusty bread!) but detest the rind (although I know full well that it's edible). I always scoop out the middle. Luckily my other half loves the rind so it never goes to waste. Win win.

Unfortunate typo there 😜

I love the rind. It's the best part. Imo people who complain about the rind don't really like the cheese.

The rind smells and tastes bad to me. I scoop the innnards.

He has clearly muddled Camembert with Edam. Silly DBro.

What the heck is the point of Camembert if you don't eat the best bit?

I eat some of the rind but mostly scoop out the inside with a spoon.

No, no, and thrice no. Just as well your DB has some sense.

Do you think he's got it muddled up with Edam?

I love the rind but I do find that it can be a bit bitter on a very mature French brie or camembert (as opposed to supermarket ones which tend to be much milder). I suspect that was the type that the pp was given in the cheese shop in France! This is why I prefer Somerset brie to brie de meaux (don't hate me, I do like proper stinky cheese too!)

Generally I think the rule is that if the rind is white it's OK to eat.

Only savages don’t eat it!

Nom nom, yes pleasey!

For those of you who don't like the rind, have you tried Crème de Camembert, no rind at all, just creamy cheese! There is also Crème de Brie, both made by President.
