I like them a lot.
We rarely had them at home when I was a kid but we sometimes got them on family outings or things like that.
I sometimes still like to buy them when I'm going for longer train rides or for picnics, since they are good travel food.

Almost no carbs and 21,5g of protein per 100g so they are also nutritiously good.

Never seen blacked supermarket cheese before...

They are decent but heres a good question.
do you eat them with or without the shell.

Maybe it's regional. You're not missing anything, black foil aside. The wax is still red. Also light cheese is crap, no flavor.

It is a wax casing, meant to protect the cheese but be easy enough that a child can open. Although it is technically editable, you are not supposed to eat the wax casing. It is a wax casing, not a normal cheese rind.

Its a sign of upper middle class. Only had them for a little while as a kid with some homemade wine when my other brothers were at school, turns out the local food bank gave them away and my mom had them stored away so they wouldnt disappear.
