About the stinky cheese (lighthearted)

[bananafish]

DH (French) likes super stinky cheese. I roll with it usually, because there’s a limit to Sainsbury’s selections, but he’s found a specialist shop to indulge him, and it is unbearable.
Honest to god, it smells like feet and farts in the kitchen these days. No keeping it in the fridge to limit the stink as that is unacceptable.
I, otoh, feel divorce is an acceptable option. Thoughts?

Do you have a garage? Maybe he could get a mini fridge and keep his cheese in there.

Double bag and then encase in Tupperware. Maybe two nesting Tupperwares.

Tupperware will help - doubling up is probably not a bad plan!

We have an evil cheese in our fridge at the moment. Opening it has to be approached with care

Bury it in the garden?

Ooooooooh. I love cheese which smells like it should be walking out of the fridge by itself!

I use jars for storage.

Or bury him in the garden? (With the cheese)

You need one of these- a cheese dome: www.procook.co.uk/product/procook-cheese-cake-dome-large?fo_c=1344&fo_k=c4bd9673670d4ae11d477cfb64b5a2b8&fo_s=gplauk&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI04qI6aug6wIVYIBQBh0U_A52EAQYBCABEgKEb_D_BwE
In response to your AIBU divorce is only appropriate if he won’t use the cheese dome/tupperware

Would he like to join DH and I in a polygamous cheese loving marriage?

Must like dogs. Sex not included.

Can i have the name of the supplier and do they deliver?

My lovely French fridge had a special cheese compartment.

YABU if you get to share the cheese.

YABU
Stinky cheese is the best cheese.

We had a few in lockdown. One from Neal’s yard and a couple from the Fine Cheese Co.

Both delivered x

I hate stinky cheese

I work as a picker in a supermarket and my god some people eat stinky cheese

It’s worse now we have to bag things, as the smell wafts out everytime you open the bag.

YABU! You can't refrigerate decent cheese

@JontyDoggle37 - that cheese dome won't stop the smell unless you connect it to a kitchen extractor fan - and, from the picture, it doesn't appear to have an outlet for that.
However I think this could be an untapped market for a ventilation company...

@SchrodingersImmigrant Paxton and Whitfield, I didn’t tell you...

😁 Never heard of you @bananafish

Thank you

I may try the packaging options but I suspect he won’t agree.
When we go to his parents, they have the most pungent cheese under a dome thingy: no flies but full stench 🤦🏽‍♀️

I voted YABU and feel sorry for your DH.
He should be allowed to indulge his love of sticky cheese in peace

stinky 🤦‍♂️

My sister lives in the Charente. On a visit last year, she bought some Epoisses cheese, a bit like a Camembert crosses with Drinking Bishop. Not was it good. Tried to find it over here with no joy so far, but can recommend it.

That should have said crossed with Stinking Bishop.

At least its not the Sardinian live maggot cheese!!!

Mmm, they've got a good selection. But I already have a rather substantial collection of cheese (some rather smelly) thanks to a recent online deli purchase.
