message: This article should note that Brie de Meaux is illegal to import and sell in the US due to being unpasturized.  A distintion between raw milk Brie (such as Brie de Meaux) and pasturized brie I think should be made, there is most certainly a huge difference. Russeasby 21:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The Brie de Meaux that has been photographed for this article is horribly under-ripe. Note the near-solid chalky core. I feel sorry for the person who cut into this cheese. It's so sad that such a noble cheese is being represented by such an awful image. Anyone got a picture of a nice ripe Brie to add? Robotforaday (talk) 22:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I see the recipes section has been added to a number of cheeses by a user on 174.6.185.59, links to off-site recipes seems a little redundant and non-encyclopedic, and since all recipes come from the same site it smells like spam to me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.146.111 (talk) 22:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

message: What is the "French Atlantic government"?  Google only finds this page and another page quoting this page for this term.  I have removed it and think it at least needs a reference before it is re-added.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 10:30, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The opening of this article says that Brie "is a soft cow's cheese". Is this not an example of a dangling subordinate clause? Any one who reads this might now think that it comes from cows that are soft! I am not really aware of how to rephrase this so as to avoid this dangling modifier.

replies: text:  ... even better: "cow's-milk cheese". The cheese is made from cow's milk, not from cows, and I agree that the cheese doesn't belong to the cows. Dbfirs 10:40, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Is this a dangling modifier?

message: I've been very amused by the tag team edit warring, in which I've played a passive part, about the LANGVAR we should use on this page. I'm rooting for the proper version, obviously, but we should come to some conclusion, and part friends before Xmas, don't you think? Roxy the dog. bark 14:46, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the article has no affiliations with either spelling convention, the Wikipedia policy is to retain the original spelling, and (unfortunately for us on this side of the Pond and Channel,) I think that used American spelling.  The editor who was edit warring has been blocked.  We certainly don't want Franglais!  Dbfirs 23:39, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you entirely, having just discovered that the American spelling of Mould is Mold for both the pertinent meanings. Makes me want to bark loudly and chase my tail. I checked yesterday to see which came first, and from day one, it was moldy. Roxy the dog. bark 00:04, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

message: In the "International bries" section, we have 
* Brazilian "brie" 
* Ireland produces various "brie" cheeses 
But for the rest of the international bries there are no scare quotes. Is there a reason for this? --185.20.212.44 (talk) 19:48, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Most but not all cheeses have quotes. The quotes are warranted because the cheeses are not actually Bries. In the case of New Zealand, the cheese is called 'brie style'. Since this is correct, no quotes are needed. UK cheeses are named cheese such as Cornish Brie and Cenarth Brie. No claim is made that they are 'Brie' brie so no warning quotes are needed. Further since UK was a member of EU (and is still legally and economically bound) any cheese that is described as brie-like must be a real honest brie cheese. Other countries have laxer laws and just about any soft cheese with a white rind could be sold as 'brie'. OrewaTel (talk) 22:48, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire International bries section seems pointless to me. Brie is just a style of cheese which is manufactured across the world, just like cheddar cheese. Brie is not a protected designation under EU law. It is made by everyone from tiny artisanal producers to international giants. It gives no useful information to list a random selection of creameries and food companies which make and sell brie. --Ef80 (talk) 15:13, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
