Should She Confess?

At this moment my daughter is sitting on a train, on her way back to London. (Approx 1hr 20mins journey)
In her bag is a very smelly Camembert
. We could smell it my fridge and in the car travelling to the railway station. She suggested l keep it. I said to her to take it so that she and her housemates could warm it in the oven and dip French bread into it.

She has just texted me from the train to say, someone in the same carriage has commented… ‘Something stinks’!
I have told her to keep quiet and keep looking out of the window!!

I wouldn’t mind but we wrapped it well but it must be ‘alive’!

What would you do?

  1. Keep quiet?

  2. Agree and say, you can smell it too and look over somewhere else, quizzically?

  3. Tell them all to mind their own business?

  4. Admit it’s yours and ask what they want to do about it?

  5. Start crying and apologise profusely?

  6. Something else?

None of the above.

To ensure social distancing and protect my own space I’d say …
I’m sorry. It’s me.

I’d unwrap it and allow everyone to enjoy the aromas.

No further problems with social distancing, because the carriage would become empty immediately.

I’d say … “I really must change my eating habits” followed by "take big sniffs and it’ll soon go":smiling_imp::ok_hand::+1::grin:

Tell them it’s a lovely ripe Camembert and would they like to try it?

Parmesan cheese is pretty rank too.

Just goes to show how (in)effective the standard masks are :astonished::-1:

And on hot pasta of course. For smelly Italian cheese you don’t have to go far because there are also Pecorino and Gorgonzola cheeses too.

Yeah but being able to smell the Camembert, might show that they haven’t got Covid!

Then I’d have to tell them in all likelihood that they have halitosis and are smelling their own breath :grinning:

Oh dear God, that’s never that smelly. I buy that one when I can’t get hold of my usual English version. Even V doesn’t think Le Rustique is smelly and she’s got a fantastic sense of smell. I never refrigerate Le Rustique either.

Percy, It doesn’t taste smelly… but maybe it’s my fridge that smells and the Camembert absorbed it? :laughing:

Throw it in the nearest rubbish bin or out of the window!
