As Long As It Has No Rennet…
Lesley over at MCB has been catching up here since her return from out west and noticed the post I did last week regarding unsavory food additives. She also pointed out another post on cracked.com regarding the tasty delicacy Casu Marzu.
Casu Marzu is a cheese from Sardinia, Italy that is infested with larve and is more commonly known locally as “maggot cheese” It doesn’t stop there. These larve are capable of jumping…while you EAT this stuff. These larve survive the digestive process (if they can take that smell then what can’t they take?) and setup shop in the intestines, boring into the lining causing bloody diarrhea, vomiting and nausea.
Ready for lunch? I know I am! Watch this:

[…] Yes, that was sarcasm. While were on the subject of cheese, don’t forget about Cazu Marzu! […]
