    What is the world's smelliest cheese?

    Question #54116. Asked by shady shaker. (Jan 16 05 2:03 PM)

    		The smelliest name for a cheese is probably Stinking Bishop, from Gloucestershire. Reported to be sticky and to smell of old socks, but still be delicious.

    		I always thought it was Munster cheese. We had one once that had to live outside. It tasted superb, but it was very antisocial. However that only came fourth in the list according to this site.

    The smelliest cheese according to them is Vieux Boulogne.

    		By coincidence I just took thejazzkickazz's smelly quiz and he said Limburger, but I suspect it's also a personal opinion in the top few choices.

    		"Limburger cheese" seems to have its origins in the Belgian province of Limburg, not in the German town of Limburg an der Lahn. It is very similar to "Herve Cheese", which is from the neighbouring French-speaking province of Liège. But there are so many more cheeses that score well on the Scale of Stinkiness, that I doubt if any jury could ever decide in this matter. Burgundy has Epoisses; the North of France has Maroilles; apart from Vieux- Boulogne there is also Vieux-Lille. All very similar cheeses and very stinky indeed.

    		I just bought a cheese called St. Aubrey. I think that was it because it is now in the garbage dumper outside. It was with the Bries in The Green Market in Williamsburg VA. It had a brownish rind with a bulging soft, yellowish center. It stunk up my grocery bag and when I sniffed at the package I thought I smelled ammonia. I opened it, gasped at the stench, tasted a little bit, and spit it out. I had to wash out my mouth. Totally disgusting. I googled for it but couldn't find anything under that name. That has to be the worst thing ever, as bad as 'dead.'

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.
