soft cheese and me
Bill Schuttler
and one of my favorites is the fruit/cheese station. Normally I stick to
the harder and sharper, but I'm going to try for more variety this
season. My question is about soft cheese operation/etiquette. What is
the proper way to eat, for example, Brie? Am I supposed to hack a chunk
off or peel back the rind and scoop? If I just take a chunk, do I
discreetly set aside the rind or do I eat it? I figure it's edible,
sure, but is it proper?
Thanks.

The Brie should be cut into wedges and the entire wedge eaten, rind and
all. Pieces of the wedge can be placed on bread (baguette for a
preference) or decent crispbread or biscuit/cracker for cheese and eaten
that way.
*Not* eating the rind of Camembert or Brie is generally considered
impolite.
What you do at home is of course up to you in any case. If you don't
like the rind don't eat it.

==================
I have learned that it is not only proper but preferable that one eats the
rind with the Brie ... and I do think it adds flavor.
Fear not ...

Here is the response from my son who now lives in Fargo.
*heh* Yeah, actually, there are.
In Fargo itself, My Viet (Vietnamese), Paradiso (Mexican), Juano's
(Mexican), Mexican Village, Green Mill (American/Bar/Grill). Also a
new Indian restaurant which just opened, but I've neither tried it nor
do I remember the name. Over in Moorhead/Dilworth, there is a nice
Italian restaurant associated with the Howard Johnson of all things.
I think maybe Luigi's? I'll ask around the office tomorrow and get
other opinions.

I would suggest taking a long drive up to Winnipeg and eating there. From
what I remember of Fargo, there aren't a lot of great restaurants.

Sorry, my mistake. Yer correct. The Fort *Garry* Hotel, an awe inspiring
edifice, has been a Peg landmark for near 100 years, probably more... no, I
haven't been there for a long time, obviously. The actual "Fort Garry" the
oldest stone fort still remaining in North America is nearby. Winnipeg is a
marvelous city, with over 1000 fine restaurants. Don't miss visiting the
Mannitoba Museum of Man.
Fort Henry is in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
I just spent over an hour searhing the net for a picture of the Fort Garry
Hotel, no luck... there is a website, btw, totally useless.

I thought of that, too, but since I keep hearing things about Winnipeg I
don't know about (thought I do know good Asian restaurants and grocery
stores) I thought I'd ask.
So, Sheldon, when was the last time you were in Winnipeg, what did you eat,
and why were you here? (I can't imagine anyone visiting Winnipeg unless
they *had* too--unless they were coming to eat or for Folklorama or the Folk
Festival).

Where we go depends on what we're buying. For general items (tofu, coconut
milk, soy sauce, frozen coconut juice, etc.) and roast duck, crispy side
pork, and barbecue pork we go to Sun Wah (the big one in Chinatown that has
two stone lions/dogs by the entrance). For coconut or durian ice cream,
pork rinds (that still have fat and a bit of meat stuck to them), and
sometimes Thai curry pastes and other instant-type pastes we go to the
Vietnamese (Cambodian?) market on Notre Dame near Canadian Tire and across
from Dino's. I can't remember the name, but they also used to sell very
good fried pork dumplings. It was almost like hum soi gok but better. We
also sometimes go to another store but I can't remember its name or the
street it's on. I think it might be Young's. It's not in Chinatown but
it's not too far from it, either. For Japanese foods, the store under Grand
Garden restaurant (lousy restaurant, btw) usually has more variety than the
other stores.
Then, for Indian groceries we either go to Dino's or A-One on Pembina. I
usually only buy a certain type of curry powder at Dino's but they also
recently started selling Injera. My mother sometimes buys chiles and canned
mangoes there. I prefer A-One but only because it seems cleaner and it's
near our house (although I bought atta from them and my 2 kg. bag really
only weighed 1800 grams).
For oriental vegetables we shop around but usually end up at Sun Wah because
they usually have more variety (but the quality is often not very good). We
also buy meats from the butcher there. We buy shrimp from the Portuguese
fish market on Sargent, across from Morden's (which is where we buy nuts).
And not Asian, but we go to Deluca's for bread sometimes (their fergasa
bread used to be very good) and La Grotta for all other Italian groceries
(excellent processed meats and cheeses). Have I missed anything?

I've never been farther east than Montreal but would love to drive through
Quebec and the Maritimes one day. I've heard wonderful things about the
Maritimes.

Hmm, I don't think I know of a big one like that. I've only been to one
(recently renamed "Leslie's" or something like that) and it only had one
floor. It's on Princess Street. There is another, I think larger, one
further north on Princess so that may be the one you've been to. I'll have
to check it out.

What an endorsement! Have you ever been here in August during Folklorama?
Now *that's* a great foodie-type event. You can eat around the world in
just two weeks!

The Riverwalk is very pleasant, so is the prominade on the east bank of the R.
Rouge. On a few occasions I actually toured the river network themselves, by
Riverboat. Oh, there along the river (ferget which exactly) there exists a
confection & nut factory (can't remember the name) adjacent to a pedestrian and
auto bridge. I asked and received a tour of the entire facilty - was gifted
with a liter of terrific raspberry preserves - you might want to also. I
enjoyed the Fur District too, as well as many other points of interest, even
the zoo. I don't recall any so I probably passed on all gov. bldgs., as I
wont to do as much as humanly possible regardless of where I may be.

Personally I enjoyed Canada's western portion infinitely more, although it's a
very long haul from the Peg, but still interesting. You will though come away
much more appreciative of the adundant agri-industry of those very vast plains.
There is lots to see and do in Canada's wild west, far more than is humanly
possible in any one lifetime; try not to miss Hope.

Oh, Sheldon! I was referring to the *real* streetwalkers who hang out by
the riverwalk and the Legislative building. I've never seen one, but I've
heard that's where they work.

Sounds like the Nutty Club. I've never been there and didn't even know they
were willing to give tours! I'll have to try one. Used to eat their
peppermint candies when I was a kid.

I wouldn't know, I've never been propositioned by a hooker. But your
