For both of you, I let my nose be my guide once when I bought Limburger
cheese. I was in my early twenties, knew that it was supposed to stink,
smelled it and threw it away. I regret that I didnt, at least, taste it.
It is extinct, without shopping online, where I live. It smelled like a
dead animal.
Ill smell this questionable kimchi right now. Stay tuned...strong and a
bit like rotten, but not dead animal. My wife is out. My SIL is in. Im
on the fence.
How many friends would show up to rock out at a kimchi-limburger party with
home-pickled trout and a keg of beer if they couldnt have beer until
they sampled all three specials and had their hand stamped per dish? Would
they lie if they could?
