Question:

Is there an Italian saying that "if it smells like feet, it can't be beat" ?

some italian person told me this about cheeses and italian hams. because some of the smells aren't so nice, but they taste delish! thanks for your help.


Answers:

The most known cheese that smells... that way :) but is considered delicious is gorgonzola. It's not the only one and it's true in other Countries as well. I never heard a saying like that, anyway (that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, of course :)
But I heard "Anche il gorgonzola puzza" ("Gorgonzola smells as well") meaning sometimes you can't rely on just one of your senses.
