Serious question: spicy food

[East Coast Hustle]

I've read that you have to wear goggles when you eat it because the maggots jump and if you are unprotected they will jump into your eyes and squirm into your face.

Haggis is fucking tasty. The other stuff, not so appealing looking

I've heard that too, but I think it's just a myth. I mean, the maggots do jump, but I don't think there's any real risk of them infesting your face or anything. Those happy-looking people in Sardinia weren't wearing goggles.

I like liver, so I like haggis, when it's well-made. I've also had some nasty haggis, and a bad haggis is truly disgusting.

Natto is an acquired taste, but is really no worse than any other fermented food when it comes right down to it. It's better if you think of it more as a condiment than a main ingredient.

Casu marzu, though... well, I feel it is in a category of its own, which is "live animal food". I don't eat a lot of live animals, or really any if you don't count bacteria, and it kind of freaks me out. Culturally, I am also conditioned to be disgusted at the idea of eating terrestrial insects, so that part puts me off quite a bit. However, I would like to try it, if I ever have the chance.

Everybody in Sardinia looks happy anytime they don't have a knife sticking out of them somewhere. If there was a "badass" olympics, they'd be a serious gold medal contender.

Inspired by this thread, I've taken up cheesemaking. My first attempt is inoculating right now.

I did a little research, and Piophila Casei live everywhere in the world.
