I try to encourage the kids to try something new so they can honestly say whether or not they like it, but getting the kids to try Limburger cheese was a chore. All it took was them smelling it once and the battle was on. I love Limburger cheese. Despite it's pungant aroma, it has a nice taste. It is an aquired taste tho, alot of people don't like it.
I opened the grocery bag last night that contained the cheese and before I even took it out of the bag, Nathan pronounced " EWWW! WHO FARTED!?
I wondered the same thing. lol Then I removed the cheese from the foil and the smell become even stonger! I told the kids, "smell this..." as I held up the silver foil wrapped log of cheese and Nathan read the label " LIMBURGER" and said " NO WAY! I AM NOT EATING THAT!"... I asked if he had even tried it before , and he said he hadn't, but he had seen it on TV and everyone made a joke of how bad it smelled. I replied " Well, don't knock it til you try it. " So he took a big whif...." EWWW
W! ANYTHING THAT SMELLS LIKE THAT SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN! IT SMELLS LIKE A SWEATY STINKY BUTT!"...
Well, I like it, I think it's good and the stinky smell gives the cheese a bum wrap before it even gets tried. Well, it took two days but I finally got them to at least taste it.... here is the end results...
Nathan tried it and almost puked. He stands by his initial analysis, it smells like butt, and if that's what butt smells like, that is most likely how it tastes, there for you should never eat anything that smells like that. lol And what did Miss Nikki think? Well, she and her brother h
ave the same basic opinion, neither one of them could swallow it and ended up spitting it out....Well, Limburger cheese will not be on the menu anytime soon, I'm proud of the kids for doing something most won't do, and that's try something new. Usually they like things most kids don't, broccoli, calamary, beef tongue, but the Limburger cheese was where they draw the line. ;)
