Nancy: Oh-h--That limburger sandwich is awful. Sluggo: Aw---Go on-- It ain't DAT bad.
I like it, and at times I even crave it. Having said that, yes, it does smell awful.
Amazingly, and I don’t know if this is anyone else’s experience, the taste is not what the smell might make you expect. Yes, it is intense, yes it can dominate your taste buds for sometime after you take that last bite. But I like it.
I suspect its similar to the effect of the durian fruit. Some love it and seek it out. Some people gag at the odor of durian. In areas where it is commonly sold, some public spaces have signs banning it. Hotels are one place you see the signs, and I suspect it’s because some fans who can’t get it where they live want to pack some in their luggage… but the smell resists being sealed away.
I say I’ll try any food once… but I might draw the line at durian. Chances are, I’ll never have to put myself to that test, as I’ll probably never get to visit Southeast Asia. Unless someone wants to send be on a free trip to Thailand or Malaysia or Borneo or Sumatra.
