The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World | Cracked.com


From:
Sardinia, Italy.

What the hell is it?
This, dear reader, is a medium-sized lump of Sweet Fucking Christ. Casu Marzu is a sheep' milk cheese that has been deliberately infested by a Piophila casei, the "cheese fly." The result is a maggot-ridden, weeping stink bomb in an advanced state of decomposition.

Its translucent larvae are able to jump about 6 inches into the air, making this the only cheese that requires eye protection while eating. The taste is strong enough to burn the tongue, and the larvae themselves pass through the stomach undigested, sometimes surviving long enough to breed in the intestine, where they attempt to bore through the walls, causing vomiting and bloody diarrhea.

Wait, it gets worse ...
This cheese is a delicacy in Sardinia, where it is illegal. That' right. It is illegal in the only place where people actually want to eat it. If this does not communicate a very clear message, perhaps the larvae will, as they leap desperately toward your face in an effort to escape the putrescent horror of the only home they have ever known. Even the cheese itself is ashamed; when prodded, it weeps an odorous liquid called lagrima, Sardinian for "tears."

Danger of this turning up in America:
There is significant danger here, as we're thinking the cheese companies have a lot of maggot stock in the back of their warehouse they'd like to get rid of. And, there may actually be a market for it. Self-loathing is a powerful force in this economy (see the diet section of your local supermarket) and there' times you get low enough that, damn it, you feel like you deserve nothing better than infested cheese.

OMFG.

[decypher]

oh man i hope El taco doesn't use Escamoles.

[veN]

[se7en]

their all pretty gross but the maggot jumping cheese, takes the cake.

[crookedking]

don't knock it till you try it.

[yoko*]

^Yeah, I'd try sheep face and incubated egg. :P

[crookedking]

i was drunk when i made that post.

i probably wouldn't eat it sober.

[yoko*]

I am not drunk and I do not retract my statement

Mm, sheepface

TASTAY.

[G3N3R4L]

im pretty sure i saw people on fear factor eat balut eggs. #1 on the list.

i think that the cheese one is worse than the egg.

[TrixX]

i dunno......that whole feather/beak boiled egg warm sand thing kinda freaks me out! not that stinky larvai infested cheese is THAT much better!

I knew a guy who ate this stuff, then one day. he changed
into dog the bounty hunter




"I'll eat crazy ass shit for justice. American justice."

[Big R]

those are all foods chinese people eat daily.

[Lush]

Yuck, in Iran they eat the sheep head too - it's really traditional and kind of ceremonial in a sense.

They call it Kahleh (translating to head) Patcheh and they eat the feet of the sheep as well.
I remember being a little girl and catching a glimpse of the sheep head on a few occasions at family dinners and being absolutely TERRIFIED.
There's a meat deli in north van where they sell frozen sheep heads too and that used to always freak me out.

It's strange though because even though I would never ever eat it and think it's fucking gross it's not that strange or out of the norm to me because it's something quite common in Middle Eastern countries like Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.

Because, guess what, in the 99.9% of places where people don't want to eat it, there is not much point in making it illegal.

BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO FUCKING EAT IT

TASTAY.

i don't see what's so gross about eating sheep face though. cheese with maggots that give you the runs is pretty bad.

[crookedking]

i've eaten chicken feet before. not much to them but they weren't bad.

also i ate gourmet dog food. it was gooood.

[galaxie]
