I have just come across the statement, quoted from a book The Devil's Picnic, that the pungent odor of époisses has caused it to be banned from the Paris Metro.

Question: can anyone substantiate this statement (with a reference to an authoritative source) or is it just another urban myth?

Ah, another fan of the NYT acrostic puzzles :) I suspect you want a primary source; for all we know, The Devil's Picnic is authoritative. - Nunh-huh 21:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I think this myth is inspired by the real case of the Durian. William Avery (talk) 13:02, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

maybe the really ripe versions from like a cheese market, but some Camembert smells much worse these days in grocery stores Markthemac (talk) 01:54, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
