Sardines, anchovies, kimchee, Limburger cheese? I really never understood the desire to eat food that smells worse going in than it does coming out. I'll take a bacon cheeseburger and a chocolate shake, please!

Grandpa was a Supervisor in a Cheese factory. As a little kid we lived upstairs from them. Grandpa often brought cheese home from work.
Grandma was a super cook. Every time I smelled her cooking bacon for German potato salad I would run downstairs and catch her eating raw bacon. I loved it too and would look forward to her in the kitchen.
OTOH, when Grandpa brought home limburger I would run away. Couldn't stand the stuff.
Today, when my wife catches me eating raw bacon she chastises me profusely.
Happy to read the thread - it brought back some happy memories from many years ago.

It is a natural reflex to inhale before you take a big bite of anything. With Limburger (and a few other fine foods) you exhale just before it gets to your face! That of course help everyone nearby enjoy your pleasure!

If rubbed on the exhaust manifold of an old Ford with a manifold heater it will start smelling fast, smell up every thing in the car and will last a long time. You will also learn that it was not as funny as you intended. Oh yeah, it is to raunchy for me to eat.
That just reminded me. In high school someone rubbed Limburger on a hallway steam heat radiator; shut the school down for a day or two, but we could still smell it months later.
Probably true, but any savings on TP will be offset by Metamucil costs.

My dad old me stories about such Shenanigans. I believe he said he put Limburger on the exhaust manifold of his Buick straight 8.

I no longer have a man card because I could not get pass the smell
Your man card shouldn't get revoked, you should simply forfeit your "eating smelly, stupid stuff" endorsement.

Friends, and relatives applied Limburger cheese to the exhaust manifold, and tin cans to the bumper of my uncles model T ford, while he and my aunt were being married. Everyone watching their departure, from the church, was laughing, in anticipation, about what was certain to happen, when the Limburger cheese warmed up to the occasion.
The same Limburger cheese trick was done by their, 'Belling" group, to their escape car.
These true, humorous occasions, took place in the 1935 era.

I haven't even worked up to eating raw rotten eggs, much less Limburger.
My grandfather would huff: "you'd eat it if you were hungry!"
Hope I never get that hungry....

My escapade with the cheese happened when I was fifteen and working in a service station. The office in the station was very small. One chair behind the desk that held the cash register, one metal lawn chair by the Toms candy rack, and doors into the men's restroom and storage room. We had a guy who was a sign painter who many times between jobs would be sprawled in the lawn chair. It didn't help that he was HUGE. The boss would always get the chair behind the desk so he was interfering with me and my sidekicks chance to rest our feet.
We went next door to a grocery store and the owner sold us a little hunk of limburger cheese. I kept watch while my buddy rubbed it on the exhaust. I had clean hands and he about rubbed the skin off try to get rid of the odor. The end result was that the guy still occupied the chair but the subject for a long time was that he couldn't figure why his car had such an odor.
A little more about the building. The storage room contained a dispenser for re-refined oil. It had spigots for 20-30-40W oil but all came out of one container. All the same. My boss was out to make a buck what ever it took. He didn't however, rig the the gas pumps.
The women's restroom had a vent opening into the office. Needless to say, a fifteen year old got some advanced education from the conversations coming out of there. I have no idea why the vent was located there. It was a company built station.

I love Limburger,and loved Liederkranz when we could get it. Rusty's trick of putting blue Stilton, or any blue cheese, on a hot steak or a burger is absolutely delicious.
I do try to buy Limburger before it becomes too ammonia-flavored, but it's all good stuff.

I love blue cheese but it is as far out in the taste area I will go. I
cannot digest green salad so I eat a lot of cottage cheese. There are a lot of ways to doctor it up to substitute for green salad. ALMOST!

Graydon, you are correct. Cottage cheese can be a vehicle for a lot of tasty goodies.
Even just a dab of Italian dressing works.
Even anchovies! Sprinkled with some garlic chives growing on my porch and... Hello!
I used to eat a lot of cheese. Finally had to cut it entirely out of my diet to lower my cholesterol. It worked. I don't like statins so I had to do something with my diet. I'm back to moderate amounts but will never be back to my addiction levels. Some people do drugs. I used to do cheese. Real bad for you if you eat too much dairy. My doc said most people can't change their diet like that and I'll admit it was pure torture.
