[Treebeak]

That has just made me feel even more queasey than I was doing already. Cheers. The bit about them jumping!!!!

 

[Ozric]

Hell no!!!!!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I'd go a long way for a good cheese.

That is not a good cheese.

 

[Biddlybee]

Looks like a waste of good cheese to me

 

[sleaterkinney]

I'd pass.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I like a good strong cheese as much as the next man, but there's not many things I'd risk an intestinal larvae infection for.

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

Oh no thank you ta - tiz not for me



yukky yukky yukky

 

[bluestreak]

me too.

 

[northernhord]

Nar, rotting cheese n white wormz, the food of wrong unz

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

I'd give it a go seems like a laugh ...

 

[perplexis]

I'd taste the cheese, but only sans larvae- I'm not so much up for the intestinal bleeding...

 

[Stig]

Risk of enteric myiasis: intestinal larval infection. Piophila casei larvae can pass through the stomach alive (human stomach acids do not usually kill them) and take up residency for some period of time in the intestines, where they can cause serious lesions as they attempt to bore through the intestinal walls. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea.

hmmm... let me think...

Strong cheese yes. Stupid cheese No.

 

[Edie]

Fucking excellent. Best bit of internet porn I've come accross all day, and at a really boring moment at work too

Illegal cheese that's rotting with larvae that can jump 8 foot and burrow through your intestine. You couldn't make that up!

Not on your nelly though

 

[ScallyWag II]

bleurgh, no

 

[fractionMan]

The texture of the cheese becomes very soft, with some liquid (called lagrima, from the Sardinian for "tears") seeping out. The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, about 8 mm (1/3 inch) long. When disturbed, the larvae can jump for distances up to 15 cm (6 inches), prompting recommendations of eye protection for those eating the cheese.

*vomits*

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I would be one of those that cleans out the larvae first.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

This far?

So are you not joining in the U75 cheese making contest Mr Utan?

 

[dogmatique]

Food that you need to wear eye protection to guard against jumping worms isn't really food, is it?

 

[Stig]

it's Extreme food.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

it's Extreme food.

Best enjoyed licked off a mousetrap. On fire.

 

[trabuquera]

Now there's an example of a health-and-safety measure I fully support.
Suppurating, maggot-ridden cheese should be illegal dammit.
Or is it political correctness gone mad?

How keen do you think the Sardinian cheese inspectors must be to bust the distributors of this vile substance?

thanks for the link though ... fascinating if queasy stuff!

 

[Ozric]

Someone needs to get this to "I'm a Celebrity twat"

 

[Crispy]

You've got to be fucking joking!

 

[rubbershoes]

a mate of mine was given this by some friends in sardinia. she was a bit stoned and didn't know what was in the cheese till she'd eaten most.

she's a vegetarian

are maggots animals?

 

[chymaera]

It could be fun getting that back through Customs.

Of course they are! They're not plants are they? They're baby flies in essence.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Dangers include: A risk of the decomposition advancing to a toxic state. (Folk wisdom in Sardinia holds that the presence of still-living larvae are an assurance that this has not yet happened.)

oh well thats alright then
no ta, i'll stick to me cheddar

 

[brixtonvilla]

Raaaaaaaaaaaank.
