la_rainetteThe thing with vacuum-packaging is not that it takes the smell away. It's that it KEEPS ALL THE SMELL IN, ready to Be Released and Take Over the World.
My mother, who knows me well, brought me a splendid Reblochon this Christmas that she had had vacuum-packaged so as not to permanently damage police dog noses. We released the beast last night.
Froglet: AHHHH WHAT IS THAT.
Me: it's cheese. Ripe cheese. That's how it's supposed to smell.
Froglet *to her piece of cheese*: have you ever heard of soap?
Me: EAT IT. STOP SMELLING IT.
Froglet: OKAY OKAY. Wow. *pops piece of cheese in mouth* Mmmmm. How can anything smell so foul yet taste so lovely?
Me: hold your nose closed if the smell incommodates you.
Froglet *cheerfully* okay! *pinches nose with her right hand*
Husband: ... is that the hand you just manipulated the cheese with? Because now your hand AND YOU NOSE are going to smell like Reblochon forever...
Froglet: GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! *flees to the bathroom*
Husband and rainette *crack up*
