"Eat the rind. Sure, if it’s your first time you probably are scared—

makes it delicious. Not only are you supposed to eat the rind, but
it’s also incredibly rude to only eat parts of the cheese that “are
not gross.” "
I just don't feel comfortable eating the rind. It looks disgusting.

I think you might be right. I've been eating a lot of brie and
camembert recently. Today is the first time I tried eating the rind,
and I feel a little unwell. Perhaps I should give cheese a miss for a
while.

away half the cheese to get rid of the rind. These cheese are
supposed to be butter soft and almost flowing.
I'd give these cheese a miss if the rind bothers you.

"a lot"? Feeling intestinally blocked, perhaps? Maybe this person
shouldn't eat so much cheese.
I definitely eat the rind when it comes to brie. I've never bought
camembert but if it's as soft as brie I'd eat the rind, too.

To be REALLY pedantic, it's Penicillium camemberti.

I do sometimes eat the rind from camembert and brie. If I intend to
bake the cheese wrapped in puff pastry I always leave the rind on.
Before wrapping, I often spread the top of the cheese with a homemade
chutney.

The rind is mostly just the air-dried skin of the cheese that's inside
it. Same taste, different texture.

He doesn't understand "the facts".
Cutting off the rind to "avoid penicilliums", is like a vegetarian
thinking the meat in a chicken is only in the skin so if he cuts off the
skin, what's inside is vegetarian food.
The introduced penicilliums used in production of Brie, Roquefort,
Camembert etc don't stop at the skin. They are what goes into the
cheese to give it that flavour, consistency, (and blue or green veins
in blue cheeses).

from his posting, it does seem that what he has read puts the mold on
the outside of the cheese, no mention that the mold makes the cheese
from the inside out. But as you say, if he thinks it looks disgusting
it will be disgusting. Didn't he just say he ate some and now he
