Eddie,
Your post made me laugh. One of my mom's guilty pleasures is Limburger cheese. I can't imagine a cheese (or anything else edible) gets much worse smelling than that.
On a recent visit to her house, she asked me to cut up a chunk of it that my nephew (her grandson) had sent her for her birthday. He lives in Wisconsin, and it's my understanding that the place where he got it is the only producer of Limburger in the United States.
The smell was almost unreal. But, like Matt, I was raised to always try something before you decide that you don't like it. So, yes. I had to try a small piece. And I mean small!
The taste is nowhere near as harsh as the smell. And, I've tried Limburger at her house before, but I don't remember it being as strong smelling as this one was!
Just last night, while I was visiting again, I cut up a chunk of a different kind that he sent, called German Brick.
Nowhere near as pungent as the Limburger was, but still somewhat smelly. This one, I was able to sample a larger piece, and it was very mild and creamy. I would eat it again. I bet it's nice on crackers or something like that.
