You know, I actually wrote "Elf-liver" first? It was a typo, but the thought did cross my mind...

Maggot cheese: Direct inspiration for the word "Unteruberclusterfuckerpuss".

That video should come with a warning: "Accurately simulates letting the Devil rape your eyeholes."

P.S. Sorry for the Post on Post action. I normally try to avoid it, but that video (and the hell cheese-honestly, it's pure kryptonite.) just seriously unbalanced my Ch'i. (--fixed)

To hell with you buggers, if I can eat live witchetty grub (Aussie cicada lava), termites, fox and snake eggs them im going to sardinia and giving this a go.  As people have been saying, most "natural" sausauge is made from intestines and sweetbreads are well... damn tasty (ask your butcher nicely, traditionally it is his cut of the beast).  Ill try anything once.

Or, alternately, Ch'i ^^

Honestly the maggot-cheese wasn't all that unsettling. If I was asked to eat it I'd be flustered, but it's not scary to look at. Hell I've seen worse things happen in my own pantry (though nobody ate the results).

[SirHoneyBadger]

Almost any food item doesn't bother me, and I mean almost *any*, but this stuff does. I don't know why, but I don't like it, and I don't honestly know that I could eat it, even if it came with a free trip to Sardinia.

I'll admit to having a mild phobia where certain bugs are concerned, so it might have something to do with that, although I've eaten mealy worms and snails before, with no problems.

c) Apparently there are several recipes for "cut up inner organs, stuff into stomach or intestine, heat until done". The Scots call it haggis and boil it; Austrians call it sausage and smoke it; apparently in Greece there's an appetizer from "cut liver and stuff in intestine, grilled" ... :-)

Rubbish! Haggis are lovely furry little animals that run around our hills all day long

Are you saying that little fella doesn't exist?

I gotta say that I always assumed like the earlier poster given the naming conventions that dwarven cheese was made from dwarven milk, just like the cow cheese you can buy from those friendly humans.  Maybe the dwarven lass suckles the purring maggot?  Fills it up and ties it off like a balloon?  I seem to remember that there are some cheeses made by filling a calf stomach up with milk and letting it sit.

At least rennet (used to curdle the milk for cheese making in many cheeses) is an extractive of calf stomach.

I could never bring myself to buy dwarf cheese.  I did want to try casu marzu before I read that description of it.  I don't even particularly like limburger.

The chinese restaurant my ex girlfriends family used to take me to served the pickled pig's intestine people were referring to above.  It tasted fine, and was less chewy than the pickled pigs ears (which looked and chewed exactly like a plate of fresh rubberbands)  In fact the only problem with it was that it was translated (incorrectly) as rectum.  "Yes, please bring us a plate of rectum to start while we finish perusing your menu...") 

[SirHoneyBadger]

I love limburger. I haven't had it for years, and it's hard to find good quality limburger around, anymore. Mostly, it's just that stuff that comes in the little jar, and that's not really all that great.

[Mephisto]

Since we're talking about strange cheeses, I'd like to say that I enjoy eating curdled milk products, too.

If you think about it, that's what cottage cheese and yogurt are. No one thinks twice about eating those.

[SirHoneyBadger]

Maybe it has to do with the idea of eating something that's still alive, that's larger than a bacterium, and more active than an oyster.

[Nadaka]

I once saw a TV show about this stuff. The wrinkled old Sardinian farmer swore that the maggot cheese tasted so good. I worry about those people.

I should have stopped reading that after the first sentence. I also should not have clicked on the enteric myaisis link.

Now where the hell is that bleach?

You didn't go far enough, obviously. You didn't get to the article about Maggot Debridement Therapy, which is dang cool. Getting fly larva to eat your dead flesh so your limb doesn't drop off? Awesome!

...now that I think about it, I want this to be one of the things that dwarven healers can do. Finally, a reason for insect vermin!

I had a hardcore brutal old cat. As a kitten weighing less than 2 lbs she killed and dragged home a 3 foot long rattle snake. She has killed 3 or more dogs, two chiuaha (that she also ate most of) and a larger dog (that got his head stuck in a fence while chasing her, until she went back and peeled his skin off). This was a cat that in her youth could leap from the ground to a rooftop in a single bound, that could catch a bird in flight. A cat that got me to check under my pillow every night, just to be sure she didn't decide to share a half chipmunk with me.

Anyway, on to the relevant story. She was the color of cement and liked to lay camouflaged in the driveway to ambush squirrels, birds and neighborhood dogs to feed on. As she got older,she would move away from the car slower and slower. My older sister didn't notice her that last time and ran over one of her hind legs. The cat ran off and disappeared for 3 weeks. She came back thirsty and hungry with a shriveled black dead leg full of maggots, and no infection. The doctor was able to clean out the wound and amputate what remained of the leg. That cat lived about 3 more years before dementia set in.

[SirHoneyBadger]

That's awesome. I like cats.

I used to have a big black bastard of a cat, must have weighed nearly 50 pounds, and not an ounce of fat on him. He used to lay out by our barn and play dead, so he could catch these tiny little sparrows from out of the air.

One time, he even brought home a full-grown pheasant.

[Pilsu]

I don't think those dog owners were too pleased with you keeping what amounts to a cougar at the house, even if you were never caught

After a few seconds of research, those dogs cost anywhere from 400 to 2000 dollars

[Zorgn]

That is a legendary cat, and I must know it's name.
