Casu marzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Casu marzu is a type of cheese that is riddled with the live larvae of the Cheese Fly. Considered by some to be an aphrodisiac, the cheese is only considered "safe" to eat when the larvae are still alive. Because the larvae can jump up to 15 cm, diners hold their hands above the sandwich made of this cheese to prevent being hit in the eye. Unfortunately, the larvae, which are resistent to stomach acid, have powerful mouthooks so can lacerate intestinal walls as the attempt to bore into the person's internal organs.

Found on William Gibson's blog.

wow

squirrel flavoured chips seem ... bland compared to that.

while I'm no expert, I am a bit of an amateur of fine cheeses. I would personally recommend preparing this one with a flamethrower, along with the person who brought it to me.

To think they had to make it illegal to make people stop eating it boggles the mind.
