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!!!
Époisses is one of my favorites also. If Mr. Anderson likes Époisses, he might also enjoy Livarot, another flavorful wash cheese.
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.
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?
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.
