Nearly lost it, didn't I?
At a function the other night and the cheese came arond. Nice bit of Stilton looked inviting.
Then some t
t takes his knife and cuts the nose right off it and looks so fking pleased with himself. Where have these morons been. fking ignorant bd. My face must have given the game away, because he asked if everything was alright. I said I would make do with some of the other cheese on offer. He still didn't get it.
Felt like taking the rest and shoving it up his arse.

2/10, lame, barely a PH worthy rant tbh. You do know there are cold and hungry children in the world only too happy to be left with the rind.
Now had he picked it up, bit the nose off and put it back on top of the brie, then yes it might spoil it for you and others. Unless that is he redeemed himself by wiping off the spittle with his own paper serviette, come hanky from his back pocket, picked up earlier with a mcflurry, or are you just disappointed he got in first with the best bit.........
I enjoy food and the right way of going about things with the best of them, although I struggle to buy into a 'nose' of a cheese unless it's actually big enough to be able to take slice off the side, most times it's not and becomes over faffy and anal to try too hard. Conversely as a round you'd take a wedge, or spoon out the middle anyway.

Does that rule work the same for a big runny wedge of Brie? I thought cutting the big runny bit of the side would be rude?
Yes it most certainly does apply. You might not want to take the whole side, as that would just be greedy, but a sliver, starting at the nose is the way to do itschmalex said:

A fine Stilton, offered at room temperature is one of God's own creations.
See, this is one of those times where I wonder if I'm getting confused, because all the things I've tried that are labelled 'stilton' were as edible as the festering build up of toe-jam gathering at the arse-end of a tramps sockA fine Stilton, offered at room temperature is one of God's own creations.
Stilton is awesome. Anyone who says otherwise is of dubious character.
Although the OP rant about nosing it seems a bit OTT. Everyone knows the correct way to behave in such circmstances is to vyvian it.
ETA ffwd to 1:30 to see the correct way to eat in these circumstances....
