Limberger Cheese

George & Bird,
My hubby loves fresh oysters. He has a recipe I think where he puts vodka in the freezer and gets it super cold, and pours it on the oysters and I think he squeezes in fresh lemon juice. I know it is not jsut the vodka but he adds some other things. The only way I will eat them is oysters Rockeller, he always makes oysters rockefeller for Christmas Eve.

I remeber one big fight my parents had when I was a kid. Being from Wisconsin we always had good cheeses to pick from. Well my dad loved limberger and my mom couldn't stand it. My dad snuck some in the house and wrapped it in aluminum foil and had it in the refridgerator. My mom found it (by smell I imagine) Well she picked up that cheese and threw it to him and told him to throw it out. He threw it back to her (Not "at her" like throwing something "at" my mother he would never do that, he threw it back to her) and says, "That's not Limburger it's Stinky Brick", My mom catces it and says, "That's not Stinky Brick it's Limburger" and throws it back to my dad. So to our kids utter amazement my parents are thowing the cheese back and forth, with raised voices, "No it's Limburger/"No it's Stinky Brick" eventually my father lost, he had to go outside and eat what he could and then had to burry the rest. We burried all our garbage and burned any paper. Tin cans we took to my grandma who lived in a city and we threw them out i nher trash. My dad didn't get to keep the cheese until Saturday when my brother burrried the garbage he had to go to the little orchard area and go burry the cheese.

For a real treat, pull a fresh onion out of the garden and eat it with Roqufort cheese. Yum-yum. I jsut had a snack of Roqufort tongiht. But I never did try Limburger...

Well, I can't get past the smell either. I did find out where it comes from though. I saw a program on cheese on TLC I think. They were talking specifically about limburger. They said the smell comes from the fungus that makes your feet smelly. It seems that they originally broke up the cheese curds with their feet, just like crushing grapes!

Cheddar cheese with fruit is fantastic. I don't care if it's pie or raw fruit the flavors are just great together.

Mike
who wishes he could find some 5 yr. old cheddar for less than the cost of a car.

Mike I am not sure of 5 year old cheese, but I would like to think some of the very best cheddar cheese is made right there in New York at the McCadam cheese factories. The one I know is in chateaugay, NY up on the Canadian boarder.

They use to have the nicest 18 month aged cheddar available. Now they are part of Cabot cheesse so I am not sure just what is available.

You can visit their website:
Welcome To McCadam Cheese!

Many stores through out New York carry the McCadam brand, or at least they once did.

The cheddar I ate that had aged 5 years + was being sold for $6.99/#, but even then only to customers they recognized as regulars. I bought several pieces totaling about 2#. It was worth 6.99.

Well, the website isn't very helpful. It looks like it's under construction. I'll definately keep an eye out for McCadam cheese. One brand I like more than most is Helluva Good cheese. But they don't distribute anything more that 18 months that I've seen. They have my favorite onion dip though.

River Rat cheese isn't available around here, but I love their cheese curd when I can get it.

That wasn't too bad of a price. I've ocassionally seen 2yr. old cheese for almost that much. I'll have to ask around about some small cheese factorys.

A gal that grew up in NY always brought home Hellofa Good cheese, white cheddar, it was very good. You can order it online and it's not too spendy.
