Gardian Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Langres - once eloquently described as "Duvet on the ceiling stuff".But, it is tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 If we can go outside France, hows about Meinz hand casser mit music. It doesn't just hum, it howls. On a course in Meinz I was banned from the same table as the other English guys when I ordered it after the meal. But what a wonderful taste. The 'mit music' was a vinegar and onion sauce tat went with it for the strong at heart... Lovely stuff! In France a good, well matured Munster takes some beating, but once again has a lovely taste!Different food, but on the subject of smell. I never managed to get passed the smell of durien fruit when I was in Singapore for a couple of years in the R.A.F. It is supposed to taste like strawberries and cream, but eaten in the smelliest toilet in S/pore and some of them used to STINK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 In the Auchan in LM, one particular part of the cheese counter is always packed with the smelliest stuff they can find.. all those mentioned here, Munster, Liverot, Chaumes etc etc... As you walk past, it really does seem as though the entire population of the building has just taken its shoes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Pont l'eveque, ripe and warmed up to room temperatures it needs to be restrained with a strong chain.I know someone who bought his wife a 'fridge to keep in the stables just for the smelly cheese.

Cat Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Or what about Epoisses, so smelly that it's banned on the Paris Metro? I've never had the privilege of sniffing one, but apparently it has a rather similar pong to Stinking Bishop cheese, and that has a whiff so potent that only its mother could love it [+o(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, Epoisses is whiffy - it was Napoleon's favorite wasn't it? What was Josephine's opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 In the interests of family harmony you can get a cheese-keeping box from Tefal. It sits in the fridge and has a filter in the lid so air can get at the cheese but the pong is contained within. Stops everything else in the fridge tasting of the cheese.You can get it from Lakeland in the UK and doubtless lots of other suppliers in france Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
