Scary Cheese Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

Sorry, no picture today.  It’s OK ’cause no picture could possibly come close to summing up the abject HELL that I have transformed the second floor into.  

In honor of Halloween this week, I figured that I would do Scary Cheese Tuesday and bring in cheeses that are scary for one reason or another.  That meant that I brought in ComtĂ©, Great Midwest Mango Fire Cheddar, and Amish Country Limburger Cheese.  The Fire Mango and the ComtĂ© I’ve already covered, the first being "hot as hell" and the second I described as "smelling like a dank basement two weeks after a flood", so I’m going to be spending the rest of this on the Limburger.

Nope.  Just plain nope.  The first thing that one must understand about fromunder Limburger is that it is made with the same bacteria that give a nasty human foot the rank odor that makes it distinctive.  One of my coworkers, Jamie, aptly described my desk as smelling "like a nursing home".  Believe it or not, it actually tastes worse than it smells.  It is, without a doubt, the worst thing that I’ve ever put in my mouth on purpose.  Every other cheese that I’ve brought in, no matter how much I didn’t like it, at least made it down the hatch.  The Limburger gave me an instinctive need to expel it.  The Bene Gesserit could have used this instead of the pain box during the Gom Jabbar Test of Humanity.  There were a few people that actually enjoyed eating it, but I’m pretty sure that if I had the sunglasses from They Live then we would have know the truth about them.

Never again.
