This makes me uncivilized, right?

I don't like the rind on camembert. I've never even had brie, but I assume I wouldn't like that rind either. I want to get some fancy cheeses for J and I for New Year's.

i never eat the rind. i don't give half a rat's ass if this makes me uncivilized. while not eating it, i make sure to hold my pinky up so that i look like a lady.

Yay! I was kind of embarrassed about it and I have a girl's night wine and cheese thing in January with a bunch of girls I don't know, lol.

i don't like the rind either. if it's on a sandwich or something i don't notice but if i'm eating brie, blehhhhh no rind for me.

[Jalapeñomel]

I've never paid it much thought.

So if I wanted to do brie with jelly wrapped in dough, I would just cut the rind off first?

[mamasaurus]

I must live in a damn cave then, because I don't like the rind OR the inside.

I don't care if you eat the rind or not.

But DIGGING into the cheese on the serving plate around the rind is gross and rude, lol (at a party). Just cut off a piece and cut off the rind on your own plate.

(I have a friend who digs and it always pisses me off, lol)

Bern I would just b/c the rind will be a barrier between the cheese and the jelly.

YummmmI love baked brie.

I went to a snooty cheese class once and they said the rule is that you eat what you like.

So there.

I don't eat the rind because the texture is weird. The taste doesn't bother me, though.

I don't eat the rind either, but I agree that with brie you should bake it with the rind. If it's just you and J, I think scooping around the rind is permissible, but I agree with ninja that it is bad form at a party!

Our Whole Foods sells this orange cranberry goat cheese that I love and is always a hit at parties. Although I wouldn't do something like that with baked brie and jelly.

I don't mind it cold on sandwiches or whatever, but I don't like it on baked brie. It's always too hard to cut it with the wimpy little knife that's intended to spread the brie, and it prevents what you're baking it with from oozing into the melty cheese. I at least cut the top off to bake it.

Really the best solution is mini baked brie, with pieces of brie rolled up in phyllo or puff pastry with other yummy things.

I never eat the rind, it skeeves me out.

Also, this makes me want brie real bad.

RInd discussion aside - you should try Fromage D'Affinois. Yummy, yummy, yummy.

I don't like cheese at all. I've never thought that made me uncivilized.
