Apparently a UK university has made a study to determine which cheeses in the world are the smelliest.
The first two are french cheeses :oops:

The great bit about cheese I find is actually knowing the legends about how they were created. Lots of stories about French mountains and avoiding tax.

It does have it’s advantages though – I answered 3 bonus questions on University Challenge the other night that were on Cheese.

Well it’s important to me anyway.

but it’ll have to be quick because my nasal passages are clearing and I was counting on not actually being able to taste anything…

in short, cheating.

Your opinion as well as those of your magnificent readers would be greatly appreciated. Will you read about my dilema and tell me what you think. I read your blog everyday and you have become a bit of a habit. I’m curious to know your take on the matter. Help. When there is trouble in DCity, there is trouble in my paradise. Sorry to raid your blog.

Made somewhere in the West Country the rind is lovingly washed in Perry (pear cider) and develops a particularly pungent odour that, after transporting a portion from Twickenham to Chester, stank out the car for a week afterwards despite being securely wrapped.

I like lots of different cheeses, but when it smells like death, that’s nature trying to tell me not to eat it, I don’t care whether it’s considered “sophisticated” to do so…

Having lived in France, I was coerced into trying various fetid substances, but for me, taste is bound up with smell, and I can’t separate the two.
