Stinky Feet Chese. I can't remember its real name, either. I should ask HSA.

B-b-but the Greek Feta doesn't smell at all. What do they do to it in Bulgaria?

The cheese that Chris V passed out in face-first last night.

These chesses all sound far to scary for me! *legs it*

Armpit cheese.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 11 July 2003 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Brique, however I would consider it ot have the best smell.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 11 July 2003 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Then you haven't answered the question.

stilton...ugh

Then, mild supermarket cheddar has the worst smell of any cheese, or maybe kraft singles.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 11 July 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Laughing Cow processed cheese segments. They smell like plastic.

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Kraft Twizzart Cheese.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 11 July 2003 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

now we are getting somewhere. Stinky cheese just offers the promise of good cheese.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 11 July 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been waiting for someone else to do it but alas in vain.

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 11 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Knob cheese

Threadkillah!

Aerosol cheese.

It's not cheese but I tried andouiette for the first time in my life at a brasserie in Paris; described by the lovely Emma B as "like a huge sausage". While that description held up it was not really complete in all particulars. Maybe not even the French have a sinuous euphemism for "fecal smell." It's funny though, by the middle of this bundle of quivery rubber I got into it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

btw the whole "cheese eater" thing re: the French is an understatement if anything. In the endless rounds of cheese I consumed I didn't have anything particularly stinky but I did get laughed at one time for cutting the wrong side of a hunk of cheese. Laughed at, I say!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I when I made burgers for everybody (a REALLY exotic leap of faith for my hosts) there was NO CHEDDAR to be had at the local Carre Four (an enormous supermarket). 3 meters of camembert but no cheddar. I asked why. You know what they said? "It's not good."

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

You're in France, you don't need cheddar! You lazy sumbitch.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I am not lazy. I picked thyme and rosemary off the side of the damn Pyrenees for those burgers.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

You mighty mountain man.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I actually ended up forgetting to put the cheese on the patties, but it gave me a great opporunity to imitate Emma B's dad right in front of him. "Oh la la!! Le fromage! Merde alors!! Putain! Mais c'etait la! C'ETAIT LA!! Mais chaque fois que j'essayer, c'est dingue.... EMMA!! Porquoi tu ne me souviens pas?? Oh la la!! Oh putain! Oh la la!!"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

None smell bad. The stronger the smell, the better.

Though any Kraft product is a good answer.

Ah, big MO. I hope everybody had their stop-losses on. Yikes.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone once told phil-two and I that poo tastes like Camembert.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 11 July 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I think they got that backwards.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 11 July 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope they got that backwards!

Nothing touches smelly tofu!

― Leee (Leee), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

No, our friend was telling us that someone who had tasted poo told him what it tasted like.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

That. Is. So. Fucking. VILE.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

whenever I'm going to Rough Trade, I always seem to walk past the Neal's Yard cheese shop - in high summer, or on a windy day, it stinks like you wouldn't BELIEVE (do they only employ ppl w/ anosmia?)

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 11 July 2003 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

edouillette = tripe sausage = mmmmmmmmm

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Sunday, 13 July 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I cant find it but I think it was called braukase. maybe it was limburger. "beer cheese"?

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Sunday, 13 July 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes Michael, a cheese made with beer, we finished it off yesterday and it was gorgeous - and very strong.

My new fave thing with cheese = membrillo (quince paste) especially with Goats cheese on a nice rough oatcake.

― chris (chris), Monday, 14 July 2003 07:41 (twenty-two years ago)

you finished it?! You bastard!

pont leveque left for a while can be pretty humming, as can le vieux pane (spelling's probably completely crap, but I haven't had it for a while, it was too much, even for me)

― Vicky (Vicky), Monday, 14 July 2003 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

erm, you finished it.

― chris (chris), Monday, 14 July 2003 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Stinking Bishop.

I saw Momus' brother on the street outside IJ Mellis' last week.

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 14 July 2003 09:58 (twenty-two years ago)

And 'quince' is lovely. Some weird configuration of jelly and jam. But grainy. And nice.

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 14 July 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

blue cheese is pongy, but all the better for it. yum!

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Monday, 14 July 2003 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

really ripe camenbert or gogonzola is tough to beat however there is one italian one that i can't remember the name of that honks to high heaven... so much so that when my dad had some in the trunk of his car, it still stank out the rest of the car! I remember this from when I was 7...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 14 July 2003 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

the thinly sliced smoked cheese which I bought in a Paris supermarket shortly before getting on a train to Bordeaux. When I started eating it ppl in the seat behind me started complaining!

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never eaten Limburger. But there's an Abbott and Costello sketch about how much Limburger cheese pongs which has always intrigued me.

I hate the puky smell of Parmesan, myself.

― R t V (Jake Proudlock), Thursday, 15 January 2004 03:16 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a cheese called Tornegus that smells like dog shit. A friend of mine I was visiting in Edinburgh bought some at a deli and when we got back to his flat we were both checking our shoes because we thought that one of us must have stepped in something, such was the foul stench. Eventually we figured out that it was the cheese that was responsible for the funk. I think a young Tornegus is fairly pleasant - fruity almost - but as it ages it just gets more and more shitty. My friend said it tasted pretty good, if challenging - I just wouldn't go near it.

three weeks pass...

Isn't Livarot also called "The Feet of God" in France?
