    Weirdo! :p

    I eat it, but it's not the best bit. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Yuck! I've never come across anyone eating it. It's wax & years ago on item on a saving money programme I saw a woman who said that she saved it all year, rolled it round a wick of some sort & made candles for Christmas.

    No need to waste cheese by cutting it off. I've always found that it peeled off easily

    I love Edam, its my favourite cheese, and I usually cut off the rind under the wax. As kids we always called it "toe Skin" and my Mother would go mad at us for saying it.
