I've stopped buying Boursin - it's gone within hours, occasionally within the hour.

Blimey, if she calls that one stinky, what does she call something like Stilton? Ultra stinky?

This thread is making me hungry... so I had some of my Beemster Dutch cheese with my bagel this morning.

I've just finished lunch with some Limousin, some Comte and some Pont l'Eveque.

There's also a local cheese factory, Empire Cheese, that does a good cheddar plus a few flavoured ones.

Maroilles or Munster in France are the smelliest cheeses I have ever come across... makes running shoes smell nice in comparison!!

We had a nice Munster a few days ago. The running shoes were handy for trying to catch it as it ran away.

Oh, very jealous... I think cheese is a comfort food to me and brings back childhood memories! lol

If you liked the Munster do give Maroilles a try it's even better!!
