I love stinking bishop but the smell of it gives me a headache.
Yes, the taste was nothing like the stench it gives off! Not a bad cheese but the smell is mental. Thought the cat might have had an accident somewhere.

I am always surprised at how mild it tastes.
I always let cheese come to room temp and used to take them out in the morning to eat in the evening. I'd come back in the evening and on opening the door would be greeted by the stink of cheese.

There's a Sardinian cheese called Casu marsu that's crawling with live maggots!
Mind you, it's probably healthier than most cheeses, because the worms digest most of its fat.
That sounds superb!
Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping. Those who do not wish to eat live maggots place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.
