possibly the funniest line ive ever read on Wikipedia:

Some people prefer not to ingest the maggots[citation needed].

gonna go ahead and say that line is self-evident.

Don't people regularly get sick from this stuff? There's a line between controlled fermentations and just letting stuff rot and I think this is over that line.

Wow imagine your traditional food being so bad that it's illegal

These desperation foods don't catch on because they're good, they catch on because the alternative is death. Fermented, buried shark isn't a delicacy, it's the only food source in desperate times.

you WILL eat the bug cheese

I want to go back to the time before I clicked on this post

I've heard that people eat it with goggles on to keep the maggots from jumping into their eyes

This is the darksouls of cheese.

I've eaten it. I liked it.

I thought I already knew about this disgusting slop but I didn't know they jump

Cheese is already made with mould. The exact same Roquefort mould in cheese will, in other conditions, make enough neurotoxin to kill you with a few milligrams, in hours.

Have we not yet discarded the idea that 'sounds icky' foods are inherently terrible? Insects and maggots are frequently eaten in many cultures over the world. My only issue with this food is the maggots potentially making you sick, but it turns out that's just a theoretical issue.

It is possible that the larvae could survive in the intestine, causing enteric pseudomyiasis ... however, no cases have been linked to the cheese

no

It*lians

remember, these people had no radio, no tv, no internet, no streaming. they probably didnt even have newspapers. you get your fun where you can find it.

It's supposed to taste really fucking good

Personally I would not eat it though

I want to return to a time before I opened this post.

Hurl chunks food

You:

BUT THEY CAN SURVIVE IN YOUR GI TRACT

Your own source:

however, no cases have been linked to the cheese

You are worse than the Italians nerd.

CW: It's fucking gross

I want to talk to me from 10 seconds ago and berate her for not taking this seriously.

Coddle doesnt even look gross its just a stew.

Coddle seems pretty tame. Just some random stew.
