Apologies to Doug Z for sort-of stealing this topic, but what are your favourite stinky cheeses, and what are your favourite wines to drink with them?

I mentioned Stinking Bishop and Aussie stickies or tawny ports. Port and stilton are of course a great match (not sure that stilton counts as a "stinky" cheese though).

We used to get Liederkranz Cheese at McSorley's in NYC, but that was accompanied by ale. If you want some STANK on your cheese, give that one a try.

Munster and Gewurz

Epoisse is darn stinky.

Munster?

That was my initial reaction as well but perhaps he's referring to a Muenster from Alsace.

Or Herman Munster.

LOL! That was my first thought as well but unfortunately it is somewhat common to eliminate the "e".

Joe, do you mean Muenstr?

Ys.

Thanks Jo

Rats, if it's a bman thread he's bound to have mentioned Stinking Bishop already. Anybody notice it in 'The Curse of the Wererabbit'?

Old, nearly liquid, Camembert is a good one to make a stench in the fridge.

Lol of course I mean the munster from Alsace, not the crap you find in grocery stores

I can remember growing up as a kid in Montreal(70's), my father used to buy 'Oka'.... Man did that smell bad! You can still get it today but it doesnt smell nearly as bad as it did back then.

I also agree with irwin, re;Epoisse.

I agree with Irwin as well. I have yet to meet a cheese with more stink than Epoisse. Not sure what wine to match with it. I've tried the recommended red Burgundy but it didn't seem like a particularly good match, more a waste of an expensive wine.

It's...ah...a bit runny...
Oh, I like it runny.
Well, it's very runny, actually, sir.
No, matter. Fetch hither the fromage de la Belle France! Mmmwah!
I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like, sir.
I don't care how f*@{ing runny it is, hand it over with all speed.

Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, perhaps?

i'm having some "chimay lait cru" right now. it's like picking "nuggets" out of a litter box and willingly eating them.

It's nice to know there's something you're good at besides guitar.

I noticed it, but I can't remember if Wensleydale got a mention in the latest episode of W&G. I thought the best reference was the name of the Green Grocer's store.

Key word: willingly

It's what separates the true adventurers from the posers.
