Worst food/recipes

[Rev. Rye]

Two foods:

#1: Casu Marzu. It's a type of cheese from Sardinia made with sheep's milk and includes live maggots.

The safer method of eating it involves putting the portion you want to eat in a sealed paper bag and wait until you stop hearing popping sounds. This means the maggots are dead. Wolf it down before they start to decompose. Naturally, the preferred method of consumption among conisseurs involves eating it while the maggots are still alive. Said maggots can easily jump up to about six inches and either get in the diner's eye or live on in their intestines.

It should go without saying that this cheese is illegal, in both the US and the EU. If you need to ask why, you clearly haven't been reading this post. That said, people still make 110 tonnes' worth of it per year with a cost between €2–3 million.

#2: Lutefisk. I'm one of those people who cannot stand the taste of fish, but the fact that you have to soak the fucker in lye is what makes it truly "are you shitting me." Yes, the same chemical used in this scene to both scar Tyler Durden and Sebastian (Yes, that's his canonical name), and turn some woman's fat ass into soap.



And, yes, there's a very real chance of the meat's fat content turning into soap. There's apparently a right range of time where it neither tastes hideous nor turns into soap, but it's extremely narrow, and evidently is not commonly followed. In addition, some even go as far as saying that the best lutefisk... well, you ever watch some old cartoon where the bad guy's creating an evil potion and it's so corrosive it causes the spoon to dissolve? For some, apparently, the best lutefisk can dissolve the silverware used to eat it.
