Talk:Stinking Bishop cheese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Like the French cheese Époisses de Bourgogne (which is banned from public transport in Paris)..." Is there an authority for this proposition? Or should I fly to Paris, buy a chunk and jump on the Métro? BaHaReep 03:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
"Stinking Bishop's notorious odour, which is said to be similar to unwashed socks and wet towels, keeps it popular in the UK and abroad." Really? Are stinking things generally popular just on that basis :-)? Groyolo 10:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
"The colour ranges from white/yellow to beige, with an orange to grey rind. It is moulded into wheels 2 kg in weight, 20 cm in diameter, and 4 cm deep. Though only about 340 kg is produced each year.." says the current article. Yet a quick Google search nets info to the contrary, such as this, from the cheesemaker himself, Charles Martell:
1800lb = ~816kg of cheese per *week* = approx 42,500kg per year. (compare again to the 350kg/year stated in the current wiki article).
So where did the original figure come from? 69.17.162.148 08:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
