Fun fact: i ate ensaymada once without knowing it was wayy past its edible date.
Still alive (and a dumbass).
I don't understand why people enjoy eating this. And, for the love of good food, don't watch this while eating/planning to eat.
It's not as bad as some other food I've seen, but more on genuinely curious, as the video would say it is the world's most dangerous

CheeseMethinks the appeal of that cheese (outside its hometown) is purely for novelty. So you can hang it on your wall like a kill and say I did that.
Kinda like how people try to fish for Salema porgy just to experience the infamous high. Or that song bird that you eat in a restaurant with a table cloth over your head.
TIL people can get high on fish. I do see the appeal for novelty. But to have casu marzu as a staple? Aw hell naw. I've seen too many films and IRL maggots to disassociate it from culinary nirvana.
Then again, if this was a one time dare, I'd probably say aye. LOL
I think I've read somewhere that if you want to remove the maggots from that cheese, you're to put it onto a paper bag and then shake them off. And shake it off until no maggots fall off.
So I guess the idea is to starve them of air, then have them fall off.
I'd actually welcome the opportunity to try it, especially the way the natives over there enjoy it.
that casu marzu kinda interesting
Ah, yes, called it! It's that thing.
I'm actually amazed at their reasoning: It's perfectly edible because it's actually being eaten! If it's already truly bad, then nothing will eat it!
Like, I get it, but also, wtf.
