(9,138 posts)Blue cheese and Limburger cheese are both cheeses with strong flavors, but they have different textures, origins, and uses:
Blue cheese can be crumbly or soft and creamy, while Limburger is firm and crumbly when young, but softens and becomes spreadable with age.
Blue cheese is typically salty, sharp, and funky, while Limburger has a milder flavor that's grassy, tangy, and mushroom-like.
Blue cheese originated in France and Italy, and later evolved in Europe and North America. Limburger originated in Belgium in the 19th century, and is now mostly produced in Germany.
Blue cheese can be used in many dishes, including salads, burgers, pasta, pizza, dips, and spreads. Limburger is often spread on sandwiches, but can also be used in grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, and gratins.

(321 posts)My mom, always and still a great cook, sometimes "phoned it in" with sandwiches made from the deviled ham that came in those little paper-wrapped tin can, or sliced liverwurst.
Both would have a lettuce leaf and some mayo for the deviled ham or mustard for the liverwurst - that's it.
But I was a hungry little horse and gobbled them down with aplomb! And to this day, I can still crave both - but liverwurst is almost never going to come home from the supermarket now, and deviled ham cans, never. Neither is going to make the ever-exclusive shopping list my partners curates. Oh well...

(5,023 posts)and it comes in a little can and you can slice it up as thick or thin as you like. 2 or 3 slices fit nicely on most sizes of bread. It is very tasty with onion and the bread can be toasted or not. I liked it best with un-toasted white bread, buttered and with some raw onion. Some people season with black pepper while frying which of course is a natural for any pork product. It has plenty of it's own salt. It gets a nice little crisp to the outside if you like.

I grew-up on a farm where we made our own everything. In lieu of my moms secret grilled cheese, Id go for a fresh prosciutto sammy with tomato and greens from the garden on moms seedy toasted bread that shed usually have baked that morning.

(16,868 posts)... us in NYC (for his UN WHO job) went to a French leaning restaurant, and I had a croque madam.
But then even better(!!!!!) (really)...
My aunt who was a artist, and a Master wood carver & print maker invited me to their (& my uncle's) home to make art w her in Sept 2016 for 3 weeks!!!!! 😮🥹 Never been to Europe.
Her in house art studio was big, amazing, and beautiful. Now, I asked I think in an e-mail could I - being they were very close to rhe French border- could I take a train to Paris, and return waaay later that night.
No.
But instead, she took me, and one granddaughter (my cousin) to Paris for 4 days/3 nights!!!
What a *gift*! I'd wanted to visit Paris for decades.
Anyway, we took the train. When we arrived at the fabulous looking train station we had lunch there.
And I had a croque monsieur in Paris France as my first meal! 😄🥰👍
(and it was an incredible trip - both parts)
Abolishinist
(1,718 posts)And I'm glad my post brought back some memories for you. And what fun spending time with your artist aunt, we spent a lot of time in museums while there.
Now a confession... I made it up, it was meant to be a bit pretentious. I thought anyone reading it would see right through it. My childhood sandwiches were, growing up in the Midwest, more along the lines of bologna, PB&J, grilled cheese. If lucky a ham sandwich.
I first tried a croque monsieur in Paris circa 2015, so good that the next day I had a croque madame. One word for both, WOW!
I also discovered that truffles should be its own food group. On a later trip through France we toured a truffle farm, the guide had a dog with him who dug for them.

(3,661 posts)PB & J, Grilled Cheese or Tuna Fish Salad. I also liked egg salad, but only when I was going home for lunch. I got complained at if I brought egg salad, from home to eat in the cafeteria.

(16,868 posts)I don't think it was egg salad (which I loved later on).
Bologna was the other one.
When we were at the butchers he'd give me and my sis a slice which we folded into 4's bit in places, and rhen opened like cut paper snowflakes. 😀

(55,498 posts)when I was a kid we would occasionally get to go to the Stuckey's store near here or at Picacho Peak. my favorite treat was a chicken salad sandwich from the refrigerator and a cherry cider.
OMG I am having such a craving. they were nice and cold and had crunch from celery. I am sure they were probably really gross but my memory has them as just perfect - never soggy even though you know they were sitting there for days and it was just on regular white bread. and that cherry cider...if I could find/taste that again! so good.
otherwise, BLTs and grilled cheese. never liked PBJ. or the PB and honey my Mom sometimes packed for lunch.

(55,498 posts)we took an autovia (a weird little train) to Guaymas, Sonora and at some stop on the way ladies came on board selling sodas and sandwiches - exactly as you describe and now I can eat them any time. Beef bologna, though. can't stand the texture of the mixed kind.
