I once bought Limburger cheese as a joke. I was shocked to find that the flavor was delicious and it got totally eaten up at the party I brought it to, after people dared one another to try it and being similarly surprised at the deliciousness.

Just in case it's helpful, Limburger is a type of [soft] washed rind cheese:

Most washed rind cheeses share fundamental characteristics that resemble Limburger (to me, old barn), in case you're interested in trying others.

Same! At this moment I have a Camembert in my fridge that can clear out the room once you open the fridge. Much stronger than Limburger. Also delicious.

I see your German Limburger..with all due respect to Camembert, I raise Livarot aka Le Colonel from Normandy. I expect it to remain uncontested in both the delicious and stinky category.

The Limburger without the rind is a light weight.

The first time I encountered gumbo was its smell wafting from a microwave in a shared office space. I’m still astonished that anyone could tolerate that smell and actually find it pleasing. It reminded me of when my mom would bring home kimchi from her Korean friends... she reveled in the entire house squirming as she popped open those little jars.
