Roasting it with honey is quite popular here in France

Don't do it, Camembert recipes are all memes. Just eat it as is with a little bread and a glass of wine. It should be served at room temperature and a little runny, let it mature a few days to go full Camembert. Then again, I doubt you got the real kind made with actual raw milk.

Gross and a waste of good cheese.

>>12190827
I sliced up some garlic once and pushed the slivers into the top of the cheese, then put it in the toaster oven until it got bubbly on top
eat on some bread or crackers

"share recipes"
"ew, not like that"

The best way to eat Camembert is in one sitting

>>12190827
You could make some nice obatzda (bavarian speciality). Eat that shit with pretzels for maximum effect.

>>12191416
I agree with >>12190911 it looks gross to eat that much cheese with sugar. got anything that it could go on a meal?

>>12192307
its not really something you eat with a meal, it should be its own thing eaten with bread or the like

>>12192312
oh, well any cheese you recipes you recommend?

>>12192317
I like camembert baked until melty, with a bit of olive oil and salt on top spread on crusty bread

>>12192321
ill give it a go when i locate some.

>>12192327
I'll warn you that camembert smells like a bad fart, however it tastes amazing

>>12190827
Try bread

>>12192329
>Camembert smells bad
Wtf that's one of the least smelly cheeses! Pont-l'évêque is ten times worst

>>12192406
you cannot deny that it doesn't smell like farts
if so you might be too used to the smell of the paris streets (they smell like a sewer)

>>12191358

There is literally no cheese in this world that tastes better cold than warm...

>>12191352
This must be the case for me, because I found the Camembert I bought from the grocery store too mild. I enjoyed it, but it didn't stand out enough for me to purchase it again.

The cheese sold in supermarkets tends to be underripe, so it doesn't funk up the dairy section.

>>12192299
Seconding this, it's quite hearty and filling.

Wrap in puff pastry, bake, serve with crackers and cranberry sauce.

It is best eaten at room temperature, and I like it with dried fruit.

>>12194610
This is good too.

>heat it
>suck out the cheese juice with a straw
>use the shell to play frisbee with ur dog

>>12194267
Could you ripen it somehow? Maybe leave it in a paper bag at room temp for a while?

cheesefags, redpill me on danish blue -- is it just cheap shit?

>>12196688
I actually did something similar with a piece of hard sheep's sirene I didn't really like. Wrapped it tightly in a plastic bag and left it in my fridge for almost a month. It turned nice and gooey. The smell could kill a dog from 20 paces, but the taste was great.
Though that should only be done to heavily salted cheeses, otherwise it's mold and botulism paradise.

>that it doesn't smell like farts
It doesn't.
It smells like piss.
Farts smell of sulfur, piss smells of ammonia.

I had some as a teenager when our French teacher gave us some and I've spent the rest of my life wishing the brie I was eating was camenbert.

>>12196835
Where do you live? Most grocery stores sell Camembert even if they have a shitty cheese section.

Slice it up and put it on a buttered baguette.

>>12196849
American South, NC, Triangle. I haven't been able to find it at any normal supermarkets (Harris Teeter, etc.) but to be fair I haven't looked at more artisanal places.

>>12196905
Yeah I can see that in the south. I'm positive Camembert is sold in most Stop N Shop (New England), Big Y (New England), Sprouts (West & SW), Vons (SW), Albertsons (SW), and Smith's (SW) stores. Not to say you can't find some of those stores in different regions. I just labeled them based on where I've lived. If there is Whole Foods anywhere near you, it's worth the visit for the cheese alone based on my experience living in Las Vegas. Whole Foods is out of the way for me though, so I'm not going all the way down there for just cheese unless I have an insatiable craving or want to impress company.

side it with some fresh seasonal lettuce or chicory, maybe with other seasonal uncooked vegetables, dressed with just salt,oil and vinegar.
eat it with bread (no butter, please don't listen to the barbarian above), and, if you want, red wine.
this should be the final dish of good meal, unless you are tasting it alone.

>danish blue
You mean Danish blue cheese in general or is that a trademark in US? The types sold here is kinda like middle of the road of blue cheeses, it doesn't have the flavor of a roquefort or stilton but I wouldn't say it's shit. It's not even much cheaper either, I buy them about once a month.

sliced, on buttered bread, with salt and pepper sprinkled on top

My ex got me into cheese. We gradually moved up to the different more expensive cheeses and there was a noticeable difference as the price went up.

But the fancy crackers and breads and such did not really improve with price. I like to switch it up every now and then but Ritz is still my goto no matter the cheese.

>is quite popular here in France
lol no.
