Camembert Frit

Cut off the rind of a Camembert then slice the cheese into long diamond
shapes.

Sprinkle them with Cayenne, pass twice through egg and bread crumbs then
deep fry in hot fat.

Alternatively add a small dice of the Camembert to cooked, hot macaroni
with some grated nutmeg.

A chicken liver ravioli made with the camembert and cooked, squeezed and
chopped spinach seasoned with a bit of nutmeg, s & p, and a pinch of
basil and/or a bit of mashed anchovy is very good.
