Casu Marzu

This is the most disgusting shit I've ever seen in my life. This will be my Christmas gift to all of you: the knowledge of Casu Marzu...

Casu Marzu is basically a Sardinian cheese delicacy. Why is it a delicacy?

BECAUSE ITS CHEESE COVERED IN MAGGOTS! Casu Marzu literary translates to "rotten cheese" and has been dubbed "the world's most dangerous cheese." I'm usually okay with eating delicacies of other countries, but this shit has just crossed its line in food decency.

So basically they make pecorino cheese from sheep's milk, and they would open the cheese to invite flies to lay their eggs there. Before you know it, there's maggots crawling everywhere and eating the cheese. Yes, you eat it with the LIVE MAGGOTS (supposedly the best part)! Apparently there's a distinctive strong sour taste that could last up to hours in your mouth. So pleasant...

Ok, getting back to the "most dangerous" part, apparently, the maggots goes through your digestive system UNDIGESTED and could cause some serious problems if it didn't go out of your body. Also, these little worms could also jump 6 inches up in the air, and maybe into your eye. Really Sardinia, really?!

Before you watch this video, I do have to warn you that it is slightly disgusting. I can't embed it, so here's the link for the English version: Gordon Ramsay F-Word: Casu Marzu
