Today I learned about limburger cheese. If you’ve never had the pleasure, limburger smells like really bad flatulence. It’s uncanny.
Anyway, it gets that way due to the fact that it is injected with Strep bacteria! These “starter cultures” are streptococcus lactis and streptococcus thermophilus.
In fact, people with compromised immune systems are warned to stay away from limburger as it is liable to cause infection.
I’ve always wondered about that but man thats just wrong. only europeans/americans would invent some shit like that.
