Hey! I've always liked goat cheese, but this is X-treme!!!

The story about deadliest foodstuffs is on the Forbes Traveler web site. I guess that some extreme eats types will now go to Sardinia...for the cheese! Heaven forfend that it get on the menu at the neighborhood casual dining retaurants--all your can eat forbidden cheese! ;-P

<<World's Deadliest Delicacies>>

Italy: CASU MARZU

<<One of the world’s few illegal cheeses, Casu Marzu looks scary, has an almost un-acquirable taste and may have catastrophic, long-term health results. The Sardinian delicacy is made from rotten goat’s milk and served coursing with live maggots. If you can handle the idea and tactile sensation of eating live larvae, you’re rewarded with a strong sour taste that can reportedly stay with you all day. Unfortunately, the human body has difficulty processing maggots, and in some extreme cases the little guys bore through the small intestine, causing bleeding, vomiting and other cheerful moments.>>
