I wish I knew what has led me to the subject of bad Honduran cheese, but I have found a couple of more or less nicely written articles on the subject.

This is the second and last I will post here, and I am not posting the entire thing, so if you should somehow inexplicably hanker for the full Monty, click the link:

I broke off a piece of cheese and popped it in my mouth. Before I could actually chew it, my throat clamped tight. A foul, sickly taste filled my entire mouth while a corresponding stench wafted into my nostrils. My stomach convulsed. I leaned down and grabbed for my wastebasket, determined to spit out the cheese while trying to retain the contents of my stomach. I spat out the vile nugget, along with about a cup of saliva that had just appeared the instant the cheese hit my tongue. The smell remained in my nostrils and was, I imagined, permanently burned into my very sinus cavities.

What the HELL was Suyapa trying to do to me? Why did I for one second think it would be a good idea to try some sinister, unmarked Honduran peasant cheese? Was I going to die now? I thought about Suyapa’s mother. Had she intended for the cheese to taste like that? Was this revenge for all those Honduran girls in the mail order brides’ club whose letters I never answered? I could scarcely imagine what sort of animal "Mamacita" had to milk in order to get a cheese that foul, that utterly repulsive, but I figured it was probably a dog or a pig.
