I just ate moldy cheese....and lived

[george minze]

Back in the years before the producer's facility burned down, there was a cheese called Liederkranz. It was kinda like Limburger, but softer, smellier and tastier. My dad and I used to buy it and deliberately wait a few weeks after its marked expiration date.

Then we'd open it up, savor the stink, cut into the gooey part, hold our noses and spread it on saltine crackers. We'd both go to bed happy, albeit with very bad breath. We loved living on the edge...

Worse than Limburger??? When a kid my dad was a RR engineer all those guys seemed to like that ****....I took some to school one day and put it on a heat register....Somebody snitched....Hell had less fury..All the guys in study hall loved it, they let the class out for the rest of the day....I wasn't that fortunate. (To say the least)

My grandmother would not eat cheese until it had started to mold! She then trimmed off the mold and the cheese was good to eat.

I've got a Greek pal who lives in Athens. Moldy cheese is a part of life over in that part of the world.

I've eaten it and didn't enjoy it, so I cut the mold off then eat the cheese.

Sotos (Soda to me) got deported from the USofA back in the early 70's.

I searched for 35 years trying to contact him and finally found him on utube.

Anyone ever had to spell a Greek last name from sounding it out???

It ain't easy.........
