the part you toss is usually the part with the personality.
means The tough outer layer of certain foods — cheeses, fruits like melons and citrus, or cuts of bacon — that wraps and protects the soft stuff inside.
from From Old English 'rinde,' meaning bark or crust, and a cousin of the German 'Rinde,' which still means tree bark today. The word kept its woody logic: just as bark sheathes a trunk, a rind sheathes a cheese or a melon — the same idea of a protective skin, whether on oak or on Edam.
