Sometimes you just gotta do that to yourself. Last night, I was wandering down a dark Beijing hutong in the wee hours looking for something to eat and saw a familiar looking tricycle food cart at the end of the block. My pace quickened hoping for a delicious jianbing but as I approached the vendor, the smell emanating from his cart almost made me want to wretch. It smelled like death rolled in feces and I had every intention of walking quickly past but something made me suck it up and buy a bowl of choudoufu, which I later found out translates literally as "stinky tofu". I'm going to pretend that I tried it out of a commitment to conquering fear and embracing new experiences but, it was probably just the sad, lonely smile on his face when he greeted me. Why he chose to set up shop in such a dark and empty place is beyond me but it greatly added to the atmosphere of my meal. I won't say that it was delicious but it was probably a fair bit better than your cheese and not nearly as foul as its smell advertised. Not as good as chicken feet though. Not even close. Here's my favourite quote from Wikipedia on the subject: "The nature of the stinky tofu production process makes it extremely difficult to pass government food regulation even in Asia."

Now if only I could find a decent wheel of cheese over here...

So the stinky cheese lived up to it's name, huh? Too funny.

I loved the cheese shops in Paris. How can they possibly have all that cheese in one place? I felt like I died and went to cheese heaven! Yum!
