Anyone Ever Substitute Camembert for Brie?

[AJPratt]

Because I am about to, completely by accident. I grabbed the wrong cheese at the supermarket. Its no biggie because its just a thing for a few friends, but I was wondering what your feedback is.

Yes, they're very similar. Yum! Whatcha making?

I made that mistake once but never again. Brie is not very strong compared to Camembert. Camembert is very earthy tasting. I guess it's a question of taste. I don't care for Camembert at all but really like brie cheese. Your call but it has a different taste all together.

oh, you'll be fine.

Haha and I think Brie is a lot stranger than Camembert.

I substituted Camembert for Brie one time when I couldn't find a round of Brie (only wedges). It worked fine. I sliced it in half (top and bottom), put nuts in the middle, baked, and poured on of our sauces over it. Very delicious.

Me too. I always sub Camembert for Brie, because I think Brie taste like dirty socks smell.:yuck:
