Push off the curse on someone else by exposing them to it. I'm not coming back to this topic btw

I did. I just can't invision it very well. Are the maggots just on the cheese? Is it cheese made out of maggots? Is it a piece of cheese that's disloyal to his crew?

it's apparently a delicacy called Casu marzu

from the wiki page (not posting the link because it has a picture of the cheese, but you can't really see anything:

Casu marzu is considered by Sardinian aficionados to be unsafe to eat when the maggots in the cheese have died. Because of this, only cheese in which the maggots are still alive is usually eaten, although allowances are made for cheese that has been refrigerated, which can kill the maggots. When the cheese has fermented enough, it is often cut into thin strips and spread on moistened Sardinian flatbread (pane carasau), to be served with a strong red wine like cannonau.[4][6] Casu marzu is believed to be an aphrodisiac by Sardinians.[7] Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed,[2][8] diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping. Some who eat the cheese prefer not to ingest the maggots. Those who do not wish to eat them place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.

I didn't want to be in this alone

haha hey bro how about cheese but i leave it in a shed for months so flies can fuck in it and lay eggs and then we eat the cheese now that it has its own ecosystem

plebs that don't like it just don't have a mature palate to understand why this is refined and artistic and culinarily transcendental

---

I remember there was some Reddit AMA with Gordon Ramsay, and a guy asked if maggot cheese would be too weird to give to his girlfriend who isnt very culinarily adventurous

and Ramsey basically called him an idiot lol
