I've given up on finding limburger - even Albertson doesn't have it and for
my needs they usually have stuff others don't - but unfortunately usually
expensively. Anyhow, what's an available cheese that resembles limburger -
or is there no such animal?

TIA

Chimay doesn't have the flavor, even when as ripe as it can fully get.
Epoisses doesn't have the texture -- it's creamy.

Tallegio is an excellent choice. So are Livarot and Pont l'Eveque. But
my first choice would be Meadow Creek Dairy's Grayson, from Virginia. We
can even get it down here in Florida. It's a big cheese.

igourmet.com sells authentic Limburger.

But then our local cheese shop has authentic Limburger as well, now and
then.

If you're brave, there's an American-made "Limburger" from Chalet Cheese
in Monroe, Wisconsin.

I would try here first. I ate and loved a lot of limburger while
growing up in Wisconsin. I've tried other cheese and limburger
spread. They are not what you want if you really want limburger. If
the package isn't slightly concave when you get it, set it aside for a
bit to age some more. Then get some really good rye bread, sliced
onion and a brew. That's gustatory nirvana, see here

There is only one American manufacturer left, the Chalet Cheese
Cooperative in Monroe, Wisconsin. The factory doesn't do retail, but
there is another cheese maker 5 minutes down the road that does mail
order for Chalet Cheese Coop, so it is still available. $11/lb. for
their "young" limburger, $10 flat-rate shipping. Point your browser to
hefticreek.com. They also have Liederkranz, if you're interested.

It's either really bad socks or really good cheese. Can't always tell.

That's durian, and it's a fruit, not a cheese.

As a snack mostly. Once in a while added to sandwiches.

The Gouda part is my GS.

I was shocked when I took him to a cheese shop and he liked aged
gouda, but it turns out he likes other aged cheeses too. You know
what they say about "old souls"? I think he's one of them: he's
totally calm in the midst of mayhem and he has a mature approach as
far as cheese is concerned.

Salad is a different story - it's the dressing... He seems to like it
the same way I like it, so I can't ding him for his preference. LOL
