Default Is this for real ??? Maggot cheese !!!

Until Anthony Bourdain pronounces it good,
I'm not going to try it.

Quoting from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu

"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."

What I said before about Anthony Bourdain,
forget it! I'm not eatin' this stuff.

And I'm not too keen on this cheese, either:

Although I may have had this one:

If so, that is pretty good stuff, as I recall.
Though I might not have bought it, had I known
how it was made.
