Do you eat the rind on soft cheeses ?

[Dave7]

Hell yeah,

It's the best bit.

Like the jacket, on a jacket potato.

Jacket potato skin....the crunchier the better

Cornish yarg is covered with nettle leaves, which add texture to the taste.

But do you eat the maggots in cheese?
My late father-in-law visited an old farmer many years ago and was invited to partake of tea with bread & cheese. Jim noticed the cheese was heaving a bit and mentioned this to the old fellow. Whose response was "They'm only gonna taste of cheese, ain'em", and mashed the maggoty cheese on to his bread. Jim wasn't by nature a squeamish person, but this made an impression on him.

That story reminds me of a camping holiday in Devon, in the early 70s. We called at a farm and asked for some milk.
The farmer said (my best Devon accent here) I'll just go and milk e cow.
Sure enough, a glass pint bottle under the cows udder, a few squirts and there was our pint of warm milk. And we all lived

Um, ok!

When I say I'll eat anything cheese related, I may have over exaggerated somewhat.

If you like potato skins, you'll love cheese rind.

All these years you've been missing out.

And wasting good cheese

You any idea how many gallons of milk it takes to make a pound of cheese??

Lots!!

Proper cheese is full of mites anyhow.

Maggots are just mightier mites

I had a pal in the RAF who kept his cheese on the window sill until it became maggoty , then he ate it.

Sorry.... I am really really sorry

Sorry.... I am really really sorry

I should think so too.

By the end of the month you'll be wistfully dreaming of the days of abundant cheese rinds..

I have, it's a delicacy in Corsica.

 

[MontyVeda]

think i might have to draw the line at the maggots... or a fair bit before them.

Cheese? Did someone mention cheese?

I'll eat anything cheese related. My latest achievement was to eat a 2 month out of date Stilton, rind and all.

Mrs S thinks I'm weird, but I believe cheese never goes out of date, it just gets better with age.

Ah, that's nothing. I'm tackling a large wedge of cave-aged cheddar that's, ahem, somewhat more mature. It's lush, btw.

Other than the squishy cheeses, as long as you don't unseal the packet, cheese keeps really well.

 

[woodbutcher]

Have you ever tried Brei?
Dont knock it till youve tried it .

I have asked for it but the French think l am un fou and in any case how do you pronounce Brei .....every time l try it sounds as though l am impersonating a donkey !

 

[woodbutcher]

I have heard tell that if you are a pregnant woman, and to be fair if you are pregnant then the chances are that you are female! Then it is inadvisable to eat the rind on cheeses, especially soft (live) cheese ! To be honest l cannot remember why this advise is given !

To pronounce it proper like you have to be a scouser or close to it. If not then, sadly, there is little hope for you.

Stilton never dies especially if you drizzle a little port over it . To be clear in this regard l mean port wine rather than an area for unloading ships etc.
