This x10000. Even more divine is having it on a nice graham cracker with a drizzle of dulce de leche, scattering of semisweet chocolate chips, sprinkling of sweetened coconut flakes and dragees or sprinkles. Makes me salivate just thinking about this. Or just add a thin layer of chocolate icing with some miniature marshmallows (sounds crazy but the juxtaposition of textures is amazing).

There's plenty of imported cheese, but it's illegal/very hard to sell cheese made from unpasteurized milk, so the selection is often pretty bad. I've bought plenty of decent Roquefort, Brie, Camembert, Stilton, Red Leicster, whatever. Whole Foods has a decent cheese monger and there are specialty shops to be found. Having been to Europe and bought cheese though, it's a much poorer selection. The cheese we can get that's locally made generally is not very good, partly, in my opinion, because it's harder to buy good cheese in the first place. A lot of relatively flavorless soft ripened cheeses. It's easy to get solid cheddar though.

Your argument is to eat the rind because it is edible. We have established that not everything that can be eaten should be eaten. Banana skin is edible, that is an irrefutable fact. I have not only made a valid argument, but I have completely destroyed the only point you have made and after multiple responses you have been unable to build your position any further. This is the point at which an intelligent person examines his own outlook, but of course all you can think to do is double down.

Exactly. I like taking pieces of thinly sliced, lightly grilled baguette brushed with some butter and adding a thin layer of Nutella followed by crumbled goat cheese, a couple dollops of marshmallow Fluff spread, drizzle of warm honey, and some crushed chocolate (or yogurt) covered pretzels.

One time I mixed 50/50 warmed goat cheese and fluff and stirred in a handful of crushed M&Ms, crushed Skor bar and finished it with a swirl of Nutella. I used it as a dip for plain potato chips and it was amazing. You could say it was the GOAT goat cheese lol

>make false claim
"Many people also find banana peels unpalatable due to their bitter taste and tough texture.
In this case, choosing ripe bananas and cooking them thoroughly can help improve the taste and texture, making them a bit more appetizing."

Shouldn't =/= cannot =/= mustn't
This is basic English for you, smart boy. And I can't find any source that encourages people to eat raw banana peel, only thoroughly prepared peels, mostly as a vegan substitute.

I didn’t say they didn’t have tannins but the reason we don’t eat raw banana peels is because they are unpalatable (disagreeable taste and texture). Indians make chutney with banana peels, which makes them palatable.

Tannins have excellent antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral properties and we eat foods rich in tannins all the time: pomegranates, tea, wine, strawberries, ericaceous fruits (blueberry, cranberry etc), coffee, apples, peaches, mint, rosemary the list goes on and on.

I appreciate the way camembert asserts itself. It's bold, yet restrained at the same time. It respects the taster enough to not assault their tastebuds with garish and loud flavors, but totally mogs faggy foods like lettuce by imbuing them with its oddly genital fragrance.
