foodcrime; stress; basically raccoon things 

Stressful day. Things are actually generally good, just got an unexpected piece of healthcare bureaucracy dropped on me with a tighter-than-comfortable deadline.

Well, I had to do some grocery shopping, and I wanted to get something that would help me deal with stress without going overboard. So I got some Mr. Kipling Unicorn Slices (see image below)...

...and some limburger cheese. Because I've never tried it and I need a nice purgative ritual.

Honestly? I'm a bit disappointed.

The cartoons are not wrong. Up close, Limburger has an aroma that it would not be unfair to describe as "footy." Its flavor is only a tad earthy and bloomy, though. It definitely didn't emit the cloud of telekinetic stink I was promised by Tom & Jerry. And it didn't begin to compete with the smelliest cheese I've ever had. (A French Munster, which is nothing like the stuff they serve up as deli cheese in the USA...)

@zebratron2084

their name is kipling's and they resisted the urge to name them "the gnaw of the jungle"?

@zebratron2084 I do like it a lot tbh. It's pretty much Blue Cheese +.

@zebratron2084 so you got a sweet sugary starch and a protein but no salt craving?
