Stinking Bishop

Stinking Bishop

Stinking Bishop was the posthumous nickname of a Mr. Bishop of Dymock, England, given to him by neighbors due to his allegedly ugly temperament.Fact|date=November 2007

In a 2005 NPR interview with Charles Martell, the sole maker of Stinking Bishop cheese, Martell related a story that Bishop got angry at his skillet one day for not heating fast enough and in retaliation shot it. Although possibly apocryphal, it illustrates the sort of behavior which earned his neighbors' enmity.
