Stinky Cheese Countdown Finale

We've been counting down the top 10 stinkiest cheeses in the world according to HotelClub Travel Blog.  We're looking for the perfect stinky cheese to represent stink week and we're down to our last two (which just happens to be the official number of Stink Week).  Let's wrap this up and get to the voting!

God's Feet
2. Camembert

Camembert is said to smell like 'God's feet'.  That's pretty strong.  God is all powerful, after all, so if He has sweaty feet, they are probably all powerful, too.  So we'll count that as a plus. Let's see, Camembert is "rich in chemicals like ammonia, sodium chloride, and succinic acid".  This is a food, we're talking about, right?  It's also soft and runny and usually eaten with a spoon, which sounds gross.  God's feet:  definitely a candidate for official cheese of Stink Week.

Stinking for 800 years
1. Pont l'Eveque

Well that's a letdown.  Never heard of it.  It's one of the oldest cheeses in the world having been around ince the 13th century and supposedly smells like it.  It's got to smell bad if it still stinks 800 years later.  Of course, having smelled some of the stinkers participating in Stink Week, they might give Pont l'Eveque a run for it's money.  Probably the biggest draw back to Pont l'Eveque is that the stink is only in the crust.  Cut off the crust and you have a wimpy chedder-like cheese.  It even looks yummy.  That's OK, we've got more then enough horribly stinky cheeses to choose from.  So, which cheese best represents Stink Week?  You decide.  Vote in the sidebar.
