I bought a package of Limburger cheese and wow, this is the worst smelling food I've ever smelled. It smells like a serious infection that needs immediate medical attention. It's really vile smelling. However, after eating it for a few days, I have to admit, that it tastes good. The only thing is that when I eat it, I have to hold my breath so the putrid pungent smell is not noticed as I chew. It's actually not a bad cheese though and a good bargain for it's tangy flavor. But wow, the bacteria smell is really fowl in an obscene way.

I ate some casu marzu in Italy. Pretty foul stuff.

Ah, I can beat that. I don't smell. Nothing. No sense of smell.

I'm missing 20% of my senses!

See kids, sniffing cheese don't pay.

I hope you didn't loose 20% of your common sense?

Toe cheese is about the worst.

Holy hell, man! It's one thing to smell that stuff.. but to eat it is a completely different story. Larvae and all?

Wow... Looked it up. NASTY! Oh, and I don't smell my cheese either

It'd be pretty tough to pick the larvae out, so they went down the hatch as well. I pussed out and killed them all with carbon dioxide before I ate it, however. Didn't want the little scamps burrowing out of my organs.

Frumunda cheese is the worst.

Seriously? You're a braver man than I am...

I'd second the Limburger as the worst intentionally smelly cheese I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I say 'intentional' because I left my apartment for a couple of months one summer while my roommate was staying there and he left a hunk of cheese out on the balcony that the ravens surprisingly didn't try to consume. 2 months in damp rain and burning sun have very interesting effects on simple cheddar's ability to violate and offend your olfactory sense.

I did some more googling of Limburger Cheese and found out some interesting info about this mysterious cheese. According to wisegreek.com, Limburger is also fermented with Brevibacterium linens, the same bacteria responsible for body odor, and this contributes to the odor.

Despite the disturbing smell, it tastes pretty good.

What is Limburger?
