The worst.

Casu Marzu cheese

Its translucent larvae are able to jump about 6 inches into the air, making this the only cheese that requires eye protection while eating. The taste is strong enough to burn the tongue, and the larvae themselves pass through the stomach undigested, sometimes surviving long enough to breed in the intestine, where they attempt to bore through the walls, causing vomiting and bloody diarrhea.

Okay, I SO did not need to read that.

Eeew !! Unfortunately I did "click" on that link and I think of all of "delicacies" on offer, the larvae cheese that can breed in your intestine is the one I would most likely politely refuse, if offered. Geez, what is wrong with people? If you have to fight an army of enraged ants, it can't be good can it??? I have to add Skittles as a terrifying food actually. Instead of "tasting the rainbow", I ended up having the Heimlich Manouevre performed on me when one lodged in my throat.

I choked on a Smartie at Cockfosters underground station once. The echo of me gasping for breath sounded like a herb of zombies approaching.

Come on, Jenn. The maggot cheese can't possibly be worse than the baby mice infusion.

aaaand balut wins! I'm never eating ever again. EVER.

Alex, doesn't your family eat lutefisk once a year?

[eau_xplain 2]

I'm surprised the balut made it to the list although I personally have never tried it (and probably never will). But I think by far the worst is the cheese with the jumping larvae.

That's just crazy talk.

Trust me, after a few shots of mice vodka, the cheese doesn't seem all that bad.

I'll try anything once! Why not? If chocolate was formed in the shape of a #######, would you still eat it?

Just because it looks like #######, don't mean it tastes like #######!

Did you read the article? You would eat the cheese with the larvae that can eat through your intestines? Heck, I'm all for adventurous eating and even strange/gross things, but I couldn't eat that.

Nor the goat's head.

Alex, doesn't your family eat lutefisk once a year?

Yes! I was surprised to see it on the list. How can you even compare that to mouse-fetus juice or maggot-cheese?? OR DUCK-FETUS FEATHERSNACKS??

Out of those 3 I'd eat the balut.

Mouse-fetus juice would be my choice. Although I can't imagine a situation where I'd need to make that choice.

Out of those 3 I'd eat the balut.

That's just what I need in my life.
