gouda doesn't smell as bad as brie imo, I love the taste of brie but the smell makes me want to vomit.

I went to a jewish wedding once and they cut open the brie....i damn near passed out. I just could NOT get passed the smell to try it. Damn i will say though...the jewish people that where there ate ever last drop of it. My stomach was turning.

Liederkranz ftw

Now, if it tastes like old socks, that's not gouda.

 

[CaptnKirk]

Hmmmm, you're not going to be impressed with Limberger or Liederkranz

limberger + worcestershire sauce and green onions = good

My dad use to set a plate of Liederkranz or Limberger on a sun drenched window sill to ripen for a couple of hours. Great for driving the neighbors away and drawing flies. We had window screens so everything was sanitary.

I've never had either cheese; what do they taste like?

Only good gouda smells of gym socks, the bad stuff smells worse...

They have the texture if Brie and have a somewhat smoky flavored acquired taste. They also have the ability to clear up a sinus infection.

BTW...it's pronounced "howda".
