Trivia

If you want to try Hick Peterson’s “Stinkie,” mentioned in episode 120, prepare for a pricey experiment. These are 2019 prices in Richmond, Va, a very low cost-of-living locale. One block of Limburger, enough for three sandwiches: $5.49 A good bread (rye or pumpernickel, usually): $3.99 If you choose to add meat (liverwurst is the typical choice) $2.99 A package of sauerkraut for five sandwiches: $1:49 Spicy mustard: $1.79 An onion isn’t much, but that’s already a pricey three sandwiches! As for the Limburger smell, imagine the dog blanket on laundry day. When they call it a Stinkie, they are NOT kidding! See more »
