Have any of you ever actually eaten Limburger cheese? [View all]
When I was a kid I saw numerous references to its apparently overwhelming stinkiness in slapstick comedy (3 Stooges, Little Rascals) and cartoons. I have never seen it for sale in a store until today, when I noticed a couple of packages in the cheese section. I remarked on it in passing to the manager as I went through the checkout line, and he said that they don't usually carry it but someone had asked him to order it specially, and then didn't come pick it up, so he just put it out with the other merchandise. So now I'm wondering if it's really as stinky as commonly believed, and even if it is, whether it might be tasty once you get past the aroma (like durian). So....do any of you have any first-hand experience? This might be my only opportunity to try some.
