I was making my usual 'exotic salad' - a dish I made up using portebello mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, artichoke hearts, capers, olives, etc.. Usually it involves one exotic meat and one exotic cheese. I normally use feta or blue cheese..
But, this time I saw Limburger cheese was available so I got it. I also got a backup cheese (goat cheese). All I can say is 'thank god I got a backup cheese.'
Wow.. Limburger smells like dead animals. It's hard to believe one can eat it. I thought it was gross - but my girlfriend thought it was absolutely horrible. Since I never waste any foods, I've gotta find a recipe for the rest of it. I was thinking of the typical Limburger onion dip - mixing it with diced onions, paprika, etc..
Anyway.. what are your experiences with Limburger? Any good recipes?
EDIT: I decided to try a tiny amount (maybe 1/16th oz) of Limburger on a slice of bread with some Black Forrest Ham (very flavorful salty ham) and some Jamaican habanero hot sauce. I swear.. all I tasted was the Limburger. I feel like I just ate the following:
- locker room after a big game
- cat's breath & some litter box
- dead human body
- dead rotting fish
- a pinch of 'trash bin consisting of mostly old food'
So.. I have about another 4oz of Limburger to eat. I will not let it go to waste. What's a good recipe? There's gotta be one....
