lol, what do you do for this forum besides post useless threads and troll?

I was being a little facetious. There are very few foods that I don't like, but one time I took a whiff (never actually tasted it) of Limberger Cheese and the stench was enough to knock a maggot off a gut wagon.

I remember my old man sitting in the kitchen going thru a brick of Limberger and a loaf of east European Pumpernickel (the damp stuff), we couldn't go into the kitchen or get anywhere near him for three days. I think he did it purposely to keep the wife & kids from bothering him

Is there any other country in the world that has produced as many cheeses as Britain?

My brother and sister-in-law are fans of odd cheeses. They once bought some really intense cheese at the gourmet cheese shop in Toronto, then took the train back to Kingston...they noticed that other people on the train moved away to other seats...as they realized, because of the smell of the cheese in their carry on luggage.

Glad you didn't say 'good cheeses', as the good cheeses tend to come from other places. Monty Python aside, of course.
