You win Sour!

Did you ever smell that stuff ? How it is made or why the first person ever ate it is beyond my comprehension.

Had to do a look in Wiki:
"Once it reaches three months, the cheese produces its notorious smell because of the bacteriumused to ferment Limburger cheese and many other smear-ripened cheeses.[8] This is Brevibacterium linens, the same one found on human skin that is partially responsible for body odor and particularly foot odor.[3]"

Now doesn't that just a person wanna go "yum"?

Another interesting fact...
"A study showing that the malaria mosquito (Anopheles gambiae) is attracted equally to the smell of Limburger and to the smell of human feet earned the Ig Nobel Prize in 2006 in the area of biology."

Who knew? Skeeters like limburger

Doesn't that sound like a recommendation ? NOT !

Cheese that smells like BO!? Nasty! Plus the fact that it's fermented in the same bacteria. Doesn't sound very safe. Of course, their bacteria is probably sanitized or sterile or whatever but YUCK.

Trust me that BO is a fragrance by comparison.

NO!

My dad would take that stuff with us on our family vacations, it was his travel treat. Smelling that stuff while stuck inside an enclosed air conditioned car for days turned me off it forever!

NO! Bad Ron, bad boy!

My mom ate that and liver wurst

The cheese is that bad, huh!? Glad I've never smelled it!!

Well my Dad could beat your Dad. Mom kept a jar of Limburger cheese tightly closed in a jar in the refrigerator. My father would eat Limburger cheese/onion sandwiches when he had such a bad cold that he could not smell the cheese. Ever smell that ? Poop of any sort smells like roses by comparison. We kids used to clear the house when we saw that stuff coming out of the refrigerator.

Starving maybe??

Oh and I forgot to say I bought a fishing license earlier. Well, 2. Freshwater and saltwater. And my mom got a clamming/shellfish permit from the town either today or yesterday. I think it's free after a certain age so she put my dad's name but the whole family can use it, it says so. Which is nice. The fishing ones are state and are individual so I just paid. Idk why. I never really fish and it is pretty late in the season considering it only goes till December 31st but I just randomly thought about and I have been wanting to fish lately and well... I don't like fishing illegally. I need to make sure my dad and brothers have licenses next. The saltwater one is only $10. Anyway, I figure, if I start fishing a lot between now and fall, it will be worth the money I spent.
