What surprised me massively was the amount of sparrows in cities. They were so tame that a couple even came and ate cheese rind from my hand. They loved it! So I'm thinking that it could be a welcome addition to bird feeders. Last year we went on holiday to Switzerland in the summer. What surprised me massively was the amount of sparrows in cities.

He mades a hearty Tomato Bread Soup and uses the rinds. He cuts them up into tiny rectangular pieces and adds them into the soup. The pieces become soft and almost chewy. Its a nice contrast to the pieces of sourdough bread in the soup which absorbs the tomato base and become soft. VERY tasty (and im a picky eater) i'd definately recommend it my dad gets kilo’s of parmesan when he travels to Italy, so we have lots of rinds.

Just remember to remove it if you are liquidising it! I've also heard about using it in risotto but never tried it. I will now though!

It will melt slowly as you cook, giving the rice a gorgeous unctousness and flavour. I'm sure I've seen it recommended for soups too. And I think you can freeze it till you need it.
