Stinking Bishop Pear

About

The Stinking Bishop is a variety of pear bred near Dymock, England primarily for an alcoholic beverage called perry, made from fermented pear. The official name of the pear is Moorcroft, but Stinking Bishop is one of its many other names, along with Malvern Pear, Choke Pear, and Choker. It was posthumously named after the breeder, a Mr. Bishop, who allegedly had a very ugly temperament.
Cheesemaker Charles Martell, makes the Stinking Bishop cheese, which is washed with the Stinking Bishop perry during the ripening stage.
