Brie is a soft cheese, the type I am not really supposed to eat. I also
have lactose issues. I have never been much of a cheese eater. However,
I love Brie and find it hard to resist.


You should give a try to Camembert, a sister cheese to Brie. I once had
it for dessert in a Danish restaurant. It was breaded and deep fried
and served with strawberry jam.

The only grape that goes with brie is that fermented liquid in a
glass, preferably the bubbly kind. I like brie a lot but I prefer the
rind with a small part of the middle attached... with most all cheeses
I prefer the rinds to the middles... the one thing about mozz I don't
like is it has no rind until the next morning when it drys on cold
pizza. I don't like gouda rind, it has a very candley mouth feel...
and that red reminds me of wax lips.

Hi! Not sure on the grape jelly with brie but it comes in a lot of
different types so some may match.

Mostly when I want brie, I want the firmer sort and I'm using it in a
bread machine a good bit of the time. The rind there works especially
well.

If interested, I have a brie, pepper and baking soda type that doesnt
require any special gear other than a glass brownie pan is recommended.

Brie is richer than Camembert because they add cream to it. FWIW, my
son prefers Camembert. I keep meaning to buy some, but I usually spot
the Brie fist.

Placed an order, ordered a lox sandwich and a chicken salad. They had no
chicken salad so I requested for 2 of the same lox sandwiches. If you
want flesh in your sandwich, I recommend you go somewhere else because
they have the best vegetable sandwiches in the world with only 1 slice
of your choice of meat. 2 thumbs down, never will order from here again!

http://www.foodrepublic.com/2013/01/10/which-cheese-rinds-are-edible/

We’ve all seen it: the wedge of cheese on the platter whose innards have
been scooped out, leaving behind the shell that allowed its wonderful
flavors to develop. Who left the rind behind, and why?

So long as the cheese coating in question was not made by man alone
(like the red wax on Gouda) the rind is safe to eat. Depending on your
palate, you may find that a little rind complements the cheese and
enhances its flavor. You may also find it too strong, bitter, moldy or
textually unpleasant. Remember: we’re promising that it’s edible, not
that it’s delicious. Simply man up a little on your cheese-eating —
remember, you have to try something a dozen or so times before you know
whether you actually dislike it.

Long story short: is the rind on your nice aged Parmesan edible? Yes,
and if you don’t feel like chewing on it, toss it in a pot of soup for
unheard-of umami enhancement. Is the rind on that stinky Camembert
edible? Yes, and that’s one you should get to know. Is the plastic
wrapper you pulled off your goat cheese log edible? No, that was made by
man alone. See? Much easier.

I really like brief, but for some reason I don't think to buy it very
often, My favorite two ways of eating it, if it's good-sized brie
and fully ripened to a very gooey stage, is simply spread on homemade
melba toast or a very simiple cracker. My other favorite, when I buy
smaller (3-4") whole brie is to spread it with lignonberry jam,
encase in puff pastry and bake it. Either way, served with crudité
makes a nice appetizer. Never thought to use it in an omelet, but I
would probably prefer it with minimal other ingredienets added.

Yes, just cocoa powder, cream, and some sugar whipped in with the eggs and
cooked on low in frying pan until almost set, cover and let sit for a minute

I have long espoused brie (with rind, without, doesn't matter!) in an
omelet. While on the road many years ago with my SO we stopped at a
diner. I ordered a bacon and spinach omelet. The server came back to
the table and said, "the cook has a bit of brie in the back, would you
like him to add it to the omelet?" Why the heck not? It was delicious. :)

I've never tried brie en croute but I'd bet it's wonderful.

Thanks for the reminder. When I was at the grocery store today I
thought about this post. I bought more brie. :) The rind is not mold.
This isn't a bleu or marbled with mold cheese.

I love brie on toast. I'd probably like it baked en croute. :)

I am sure you would like it. What's not to like? I have had it many
times are parties and it is delicious. Personally, I would not bother
cooking it in a pastry. That is way too much work for something that is
already darned near perfect.

I think brioche dough, while excellent on its own, is too "bready"
for the brie. I've always preferred puff pastry. but not any other
type of pastry.

I like brie best with a hearty richly flavored bread for contrast,
with good crusty rye/pumpernickle,

Glad you enjoy it! I've never been a fan of rye or pumpernickel.

I buy thinly sliced rounds of bakery sourdough. Brie is excellent on
sourdough toast. :)

I can see how that might be a problem if baking a large wheel of
brie. I tend to buy rather smal wheels (3-4" minimum) if I'm gpomg
tp enclose them in PP. If I've company, I buy a half dozen or so.
If I buy a parge wheel, then I don't subject to wrapping or baking.

My mother wasn't at all adventurous about things like cheeses. I didn't
start tasting a lot of different types until I was an adult. Yep, brie
doesn't last long in my fridge. :)

I've never tried it but it sounds like something I would like. I
just recently tried goat cheese for the first time and it was
good.

I wish there was a Costco closer than Savannah. I just can't see

a small wedge at the supermarket if he'd like to give it a try. :)

Agreed. Gary said he's never tasted it so he can probably find a small
wedge just to taste it. It shouldn't break the bank if he doesn't like it.

It can be pretty pricey, depending on the quality and where it is
produced. Most of the grocery stores around here sell small wedges of Brie.

I'm certain the markets near Gary sell brie... he probably has no more
intention of getting any brie as he has of getting a new ferret.
However he can buy brie on line and at $10/lb not a bad price:

For sure Gary can and will try a wedge. Even if I like it, I
can't see buying a round just for me. Will probably just be an
occasional thing (assuming I do like it). If not, more goat
cheese. That was good and has serious possibilities.

It lasts a long time in the fridge. I generally buy two (approx 1/2
lb.) wedges at one time but hey, I already know I love brie. :) This
stuff is imported from France. Here's a couple of pics of one of the
two I bought last Monday:

I'm sure you can find smaller wedges just to give it a try. Can't speak
to the price in your area, though.

Why are you so worried about him getting another ferret? He'll get one
when/if he wants to. After my cat Persia died I wasn't in any rush to
adopt another one. If Buffy's owner hadn't died I might still be
cat-less. What's it to ya?

Well... if he's anything like me he wouldn't order brie online,
especially since he doesn't even know if he'll like it.

I'm not working tomorrow (Friday) and will do grocery
shopping at 6am. Brie *is* on my list. I'm interested
in trying it so I'll look for a small wedge. Price is
no object for a sample. If I like it, I'll buy a bigger
amount next time.

Probably will just be an occasional treat though. I loved
that soft goat cheese a few weeks ago. I suspect that the
brie will be similar.

If you hadn't turned so brain-dead lately, you would remember
my several reasons for holding out for a new ferret or two.
I will definitely get one or two but only when the time is right.
I do miss the little furry companions right now though.
IMO, the ultimate animal mate.

The time will never be right for you... you are just stalling for as
many years of tears and pity as you can masturbate from the troops
as you can. If you truly cared about ferrets you'd have had a couple
replacements long LONG ago. Gary, you have no excuse other than you

(snipped)

Replacements?! You know better than that, Sheldon. When my little dog
Sampson died I was heartbroken. I'd had him just a month shy of 18
years. I phoned the apartment manager to tell her to remove the monthly
pet rent charge. She said, "Just get another dog." I felt like
slapping her! What a cold, unfeeling thing to say. As if I could just
replace him. So sorry but no, I'm not getting another dog so you can
keep collecting an extra $15 a month.

Pssst, I never did inform her after Persia the cat came crashing into my
life. Screw the monthly pet rent.

Gary will get another ferret (or two) when feels like it and he has more
time to spend with them. I wish you'd stop harping about it.

Correct Jill.

I actually struck out twice at my grocery store this morning. In
all of the good cheese section, I only saw just one wedge of
"brie with garlic and herbs and no rind." Just one package too.
Sorry but I want to taste brie plain with rind at least for the
first time.

Other strike out was with a parsnip. None there.

For both, I'll try my alt.store next time.
Both are already added to my next grocery list.

Actually I also had 2 more strike outs this morning...
- none of the beer that I like
- no fillet o ferret in the meat section....thankfully.

Sheldon, when person says they miss a former pet but are not ready yet
to get a new one of th same type, that is all they need to say. Why
did you turn into an asshole over a discussion of brie of all things?
