Trimming the bark or pellicle

Thanks, Ron for the candid response. Personally, I wouldn’t mind trying out some kind of recipe with the trimmed portions. I am culinarily adventurous and have a pretty strong stomach — I survived over 3 months as an intern in India getting sick only twice 😉 … Well, that was a while ago, and today I don’t think my wife will let me risk it.

Cheers,
