This post from Boing Boing is beyond disgusting. Although by no means a “foodie,” I have enjoyed my fair share of delicious smelly cheeses … but live maggots that want to eat my eyeballs? Blechh.

Oh, I hope you’ll understand that I’m giving THAT post a pass.
Thinking about *pretend* maggots that don’t give a hoot about my eyeballs makes me want to barf.
But it’s a “delicacy, don’t you know! And all you have to do is shield your eyes while you’re eating it (I kid you not!) I don’t know what the hell made me read this thing. I’m so food-squeamish that, although I can sit through all the throat-slitting and general butchery of Dexter, I have to close my eyes during the opening credits with the runny egg yoke.
Nah, can’t look, I value my day!!

Oh yeah? What happened to “feel the fear but do it anyway”?
From the article: Casu marzu is believed to be an aphrodisiac by local Sardinians.
I’m struggling, really struggling to find the metaphor here.
Glad to see someone had the guts to read the damn’ thing! Let me know if you find that metaphor!
As my brother said a while back, a bit like larva bread then!!
