Limburger cheese

Do you like this nasty smelling cheese, I do, it's strong but the more times I've had it, the more I like it!

I love limburger cheese. I love it on crackers, I love it as a sandwich on rye bread with a slice of onion, I love it anyway I can get it. I've been eating limburger since I was a little boy and to this day I am amazed each time at the creaminess and mild taste despite its odiferous nature.
 
Another strong-smelling cheese I loved for years, which no longer exists because of a fire some 20 years ago that burned down the Ohio factory where it was made, was Liederkranz.
 
EDIT: I forgot to mention that my grandson decided one day to make himself a sandwich and he put a few slices of limburger on rye with some Dijon mustard, and then added some thin-sliced Boars Head Cajun-style turkey and the sliced onion. He proclaimed it to be wonderful. I had to try it. Darned if he wasn't right on target with his evaluation.

Bless you! I just ordered some.

Chewy, you wonder why you only got 20 seconds on the BBC, It was either the Cheese or your socks................

I love limburger, and can walk up to my local German meat store and buy it. I also like bierkase, while not as pungent as limburger, has a great" stink" to it.Its basically very aged brick. But am happy to hear about the return of Liederkranz. I will be on the lookout... Please let us know your thoughts on it, Mr. Hoffman, when you receive your order.

I want to try Limburger, but I don't want to waste an entire package to try it... if I don't like it.
 
My dad once fired one of his employees because he was caught stealing.  A week later somehow Limburger was smeared on the manifold of my father's car.
 
That thing smelled for over a year.

Try it. You'll like it.
 

I love limburger and any other strong cheese! I love just cheese!

Mo stinky, Mo betta!

I've not had limburger, but I like eppoisses.
 
FYI, here's the link for buying liederkranz on the internet:

I like Eppoisses, too, and Stinking Bishop.

You can get Liederkranz locally on Long Island at the Forest Pork Store in Huntington.  I've seen it in a few other stores but it has been kind of hit & miss.

The stinkier the cheese the better! I love my Mom's story of her mother being sent into town to bring home some limburger. She was carrying it in a covered tin. When she got home her father lifted the lid and my grandmother swore she saw it moving! Her father poured a glass of beer over it and then spread it on bread.
Don't know if that story is true but I always think of it while enjoying some nice ripe Limburger on rye bread.

Last Saturday  I paid a visit to Monroe Wisconsin, Wisconsin's cheese headquarters. It wouldn't have been a proper trip without a visit to Baumgartner's Tavern and Cheese Store. I had a limburger on rye with some German style salami and some thin slices of red onion. My mom and I dug in with gusto but one of our companions wasn't a fan. Hey, at least she tried it!
 

(I gave away the Ande's mint that comes with)

That sandwich looks great. Nice touch with the mint. I don't think it will be enough though!

Yum, MFL. Baumgartners is on my list of places to go this summer.

Limburger's smell is awful, but the taste is so wonderful. I love it.
 
 

Does anyone know that it really is the rind that smells?? Cut it off, and its a mild cheese.. However, the rind is what we love!!!

You love the rind?

Hell- I love the whole thing.

Then maybe all of you might enjoy this too......

When Andrew Zimeran nearly retches on something, like he did with stinky tofu, I'll pass, but Ed, do you like it?

I would try it, Ed.

I once went to a noodle place in San Gabriel next to one of the stinky tofu places. I did read the menu in the window, but somehow stinky tofu didn't seem to be what I was craving. 
And I doubt it ever will...........

Well come on out to SoCal, Ann. I can't say I'd order the stinky tofu myself but I'd be happy to take you to one of the places that has it!
