Today on Boing Boing, there is a post about casu marzu. It's a fermented Sardinian cheese made from sheep's milk, believed to be an aphrodisiac by locals but illegal. Why is it illegal? Well, once the maggots in the cheese die, they make the delicacy toxic. Maggots. In the chesse. And to make it more fun, the maggots (in the cheese!) can jump about 15 cm, so they often try to jump into the eyes of those eating. So, people generally hold their hands over the cheese when they take a bite. How exciting. Where can I get some?
