Camembert and Brie

Agree. But I honestly thought that was Cheddar for most of my life because it was the only cheese sold here with the name Cheddar. Just like you people probably think Gouda is a tasteless, plastic like cheese because you never see the nice, tasty, mature versions.

Did you know Edam is made backwards?
 
I'm a skinny type 1. I eat more cheese than anything else, nearly a kilo a day ! Cheese is what keeps my weight from dropping any further. I love it, especially brie.

We have a Family that moved not far from where I live here in Canada from Holland many years ago.
He is a cheese maker and makes the best aged Gouda.
He calls it Grizzly Gouda. And has won all kinds of awards. It is a staple in our fridge.

A kilo a day. WOW.

That’s amazing.

@JAT1
Thats a lot of cheese. I am treading very carefully with cheese and consider even 100grams of Brie a day to be a lot. This is largely owing to advice dished out in the past from The various advice sources. Okay so it seems I might be able to increase my cheese intake levels without worry.

As part of a Lower Carb, Higher Fat diet I have found myself eating a lot more of these two cheeses. Not with bread but with nuts and stuff like that. I am eating them in quantities that in the past I used to think might lead to cholesterol issues. Should I or anyone else exercise caution with the amount of these soft cheeses I consume in the quest for higher fats in my diet.

I enjoy these cheeses and they do me no immediate harm that I am aware of.

Once I get into full time production of keto muffins then these cheeses would be enjoyable with them too.

Not for the same health concern you asked about - and this wouldn’t be a problem for you @Listlad (or other lads!) - but maybe worth saying for any females contemplating eating lots of Brie, Camembert etc, straight from the pack; those two cheeses eaten raw can present health issues for women, in pregnancy. Detailed info on cheese issues, in that case at:

Keto muffins are presumably cooked? (And sounds nice - be interested to hear how those turn out!) In which case no problem with that particular issue (which is not what you were concerned about - but may be of interest to Mrs Listlad if you share the same diet in any ways)...

I had these with a slice of cheddar on top the other night. Very nice.

I grew that one in my garden. Its called a lions mane. It grew to 7 feet tall. I’ve had ones grow 9 feet with 18 inch heads of other varieties.
Fantastic flowers.
Sorry for derailing the thread.

I'll help derail it a bit with you!
One of my most lasting memories is the sight of fields full of golden (cultivated) sunflowers on a trip through Utah...And I include sunflower seeds as and occasional part of my low carb diet.

But - for @Listlad - I make a similar soup to @miahara 's with stilton and caulflower and/or broccoli (but no apple), and I melt the cheese in mine towards the end of it cooking.
