Cheese Fans! How far do you dare go?

bush should have bombed sardinia, not irak.

 

[mr steev]

There are French, German and Spanish cheeses which use mites... which seems only slightly more palatable than maggots

I draw the line at mould

this was on a programme at the weekend, made me feel pukey


still feel pukey


(thats a big fat no btw)

 

[guinnessdrinker]

These larvae are deliberately introduced to the cheese, promoting an advanced level of fermentation and breaking down of the cheese's fats.

well it breaks down the saturated animal fats present in cheese and which are meant to be bad for you. so it can't be that bad from a nutritional point of view, especially with these all protein rich maggots.....

Fantastic

um, no thanks. i don't eat anything that may jump at me

 

[Barney Bee]

any cheese is okay with a good wine match although this one has me stumped - not sure i'd go there

 

[trashpony]

Never get friends from Sardinia is my advice.

 

[alandal]

I don't think I could, this is cheese too far imo

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

A cheese too far.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Kind of makes a mockery of sell by dates

 

[Stig]

A cheese too far.

I just changed my tagline to that after aqua's post

 

[guinnessdrinker]

The cheese is typically consumed with Sardinian bread (pane carasau) and Cannonau, a strong red wine.

it better be very strong, I can tell you! I'd probably have to have several bottles of the stuff before attempting consumption of this cheese. is that what they call sardinian courage?

[felixthecat]

Why oh why would you CHOOSE to eat something like that?

Cheese that moves should be avoided.

Cheese that moves should be avoided.

some well ripen camembert are known for their walkabouts, but they do not harbour wildlife.
