Suggested for Limburger or other pungent cheeses: Serve with crackers or, as Baumgartner's in Monroe does, on rye with an onion.
Bring back leiderkranz!!!
I was just about to comment on Liederkranz!!! I never thought anyone else would know it...the litttle wooden box? I love it!!!
All your Leiderkranz are belong to me...and I done ate it!
Époisses is one of my favorites also. If Mr. Anderson likes Époisses, he might also enjoy Livarot, another flavorful wash cheese.
The world’s best blue cheese in made in Newton Iowa.
And a side of lutefisk?
Hear! Hear! The Marin French Cheese co. sells a cheese, Rouge et Noir Schloss, that they say is similar to the late lamented Liederkranz. A little pricey, though.

Back during my misspent youth in Wisconsin, we bought some limburger (sp?) cheese to put in people’s tail pipes. We heard that it would add “aroma” to the vehicle. Never found out because my dad ate it! LOL! Nasty little punks were we.
One man’s cheese is another man’s spoiled milk...
I am a foodie, I will NEVER put a sweat-sock smelling cheese in my mouth, EVER! I cannot get past the smell.
I was at a food show in Portland, OR last week. A distributor was handing out samples of various cheeses. Some were locally made (I found an excellent semi-soft cheese from Port Townsend, WA...delicious!), and some were imported from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. I found the German cheeses to be the stinkiest.
I sampled one of those German cheeses and put it in my mouth without getting a whiff of it beforehand. I almost gagged. I cannot remember the type of cheese, which is just as well.
Has anyone here tried Stinking Bishop cheese?
Sorry, the cat got it.
What some call a proliferation of stinky cheese, is just Michelle Obama leaving her shoes everywhere.
I can’t decide whether limburger smells more like dirty smelly feet or cat feces. It’s kind of an unholy mix of the two.
Widmer’s Aged Brick is highly recommended...get the stuff in the foil wrapper...
