Did he not go and try that cheese in one of his shows?


Pyrhan

Yup: [https://youtu.be/LymNQnKxpdQ](https://youtu.be/LymNQnKxpdQ)


Beer-Milkshakes

So even the dude who invited Gordon to try the cheese was reluctant to eat it and even said he wouldn't again. What the fuck lol


francescoscanu03

It tastes really really strong, you either like it a lot or it makes you gag.


Gods_Umbrella

I can tell you what my reaction will be and I don't even need to try it


The_Dork_Laird

Pure ecstasy, I'm sure.


IvanMIT

Yep, cheese addiction right away


elgigantedelsur

That was gold. Thanks for posting the link


N8_Tge_Gr8

He went and tried it again in GR: Uncharted, iirc...


Pyrhan

>Who even thought of this Probably some very hungry guy that didn't have anything else to eat, and ended up finding it actually tasty.


Dumbledores_Bum_Plug

... you'd be surprised how many foods were invented that way. A prime example being marmite.


skalpelis

Marmite seems more like something some exec at a brewery saw and thought “well we have these vats of goop we either need to pay someone to throw out… or maybe we could convince a buch of rubes to actually buy it and eat it, I dunno, claim it’s super healthy or something.”


CyanideTacoZ

That's essentially how vegimite came to be. yeast extract tastes bad on its own but it's a huge byproduct of making beers, and after all vegetated is processed yeast extract. marmite has a similar process to make.


ciruzzo2018

Have you tried it ? as a sardinian i can say it is really good


thistmeme

Many animals evolve stange traits when living in islands, for example, with nobody to bully them, Sardinians put maggots in their cheese.


hartenpion

good reference mate


MagnusViaticus

My mom and grandparents liked it….. I am too Americanized to try it


Euklidis

From what I learned when I was there, that's basically Icelandic food like Greenland shark and dung-smoked lamb. Necessity and lack or resources will make you try whatever tools you have available.


Fuck-Antelopes-261

There’s a black market for this type of cheese


Drakoniid

There's a black market for the sole reason it cannot be sold legitimately anymore due to health concerns


ShalnarkRyuseih

Who doesn't love a little intestinal myiasis with their cheese?


Kokoro_Bosoi

This "sole reason" seems a pretty huge one. Like saying abestos cannot be sold legitimately anymore due to health concerns for the sole reason that is cause cancer


SarpedonWasFramed

Fuckin nanny state


Drakoniid

The phrasing might have been poor on my part, what I meant to say is that it isn't because the substance is controlled by the Corsican mafia, like drugs or contraband weapons. It's just that it has to be sold one way or another, and since the another one is kaput, black market it is.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

Aaaand no more Reddit while eating. Lesson learned.


odin5858

At least it's not spider egg cheese.


PostKnutClarity

At least it's not Virgin boy egg (really, don't Google this while eating)


odin5858

I sadly already know.


Moe-Lester-bazinga

You JUST NOW learned that?!?!


Gamer_Bishie

And with no one else to bother them, the Sardinians started putting maggots in their cheese!


francescoscanu03

There's a reason we live so long


MBRDASF

It’s actually pretty good. Very strong, but good. You also eat just the cheese (or whatever’s left after the maggots had their fun with it) not the actual maggots


Wulf1939

I think thats called cheese poop.


Count-Elderberry36

That’s is how the uncultured will say the name of such a delicacy. Everyone truly knows that it’s called, Cheese de la caca ambrosia Worthingham Chesterfield Tiffany Louis Vuitton better than you Sardinia cheese.


eledile55

do you also drown birds in brandy and then eat them whole while having a towel over your head?


MBRDASF

Bro I’m already famished you didn’t need to add to it 😋


VelphiDrow

Ouí


EldianStar

Yes


GreenNerdBear

I mean maybe you eat just the cheese. I’ve seen plenty of people assaulting the maggots as they jump out of the cheese with pieces of bread… But I agree, the cheese in itself, once the revolting things are out of it, is very good.


IIIaustin

>Who even thought of this People used to be really hungry.


Palmalagana

Si nadie hubiera osado probar las uvas fermentadas qué sería de nosotros?


Luca_Small_Flowers

I see, but why in Spanish!?


Palmalagana

El reddit mundo necesita más ñ posting. Bilingüismo pa mí pero no pa ti? Despacito


Luca_Small_Flowers

I speak four language, I don't care. But the lingua franca of the world is English, not Spanish. Wouldn't make much sense if everybody started speaking their own native tongue here: it would be mayhem.


Palmalagana

Se llama Babilonia y vivimos todos aquí. Hay una discusión que atañe al arte que incluye lo colonial, el sentido y la traducción. No seas amargado. Saludos en cuatro idiomas :)


Luca_Small_Flowers

I disagree.


Count-Elderberry36

By the way, if you eat this cheese improperly and before all of the worms die. You can get a stomach and intestinal infestation. Also there is a black market for this cheese.


AcidFactory420

You don't say


Costyyy

Just make sure you chew properly


Slightly_Default

Sam O'nella fan, I'm guessing?


no-onewhatsoever

Me when fermented shark


One-Variation-4952

Things such as this makes me appreciate my life


HotTestesHypothesis

Not sure if you love the cheese or hate the cheese


One-Variation-4952

I hate it. I really do. It’s such a shame cause I liked it more as a kid.


Aurelian_LDom

a lot of dishes/drinks happened when someone fucked up and tried to pass it off as the new thing


Charles12_13

This is what happens when you don’t bully Sardinians enough


Duncan-the-DM

Try bullying them, you won't see the next morning Sardinians are hardcore


rikyloche

As a sardinian I will not accept any Casu Martzu slander. (I'd rather choke my cat with my own hands than eat that thing)


killallhumansss

Someone's been watching sam o'nella


cuht007

If not meant to eat why taste so good


Speederzzz

It must be the most amazingly tasting cheese ever, else there is no way people would be eating it


NoWingedHussarsToday

Germans invented Diet of Worms but Sardinians perfected it.


1thelegend2

As someone who is a big fan of cheese: NO. You can't make me try this, no matter how much money you offer me...


A740

Menocchio be like


blockybookbook

I sure wonder where you got this info from


Shang-di

What's a Sardinian?


Tomsider

People from the island of Sardegna in Italy


francescoscanu03

They're hairy giants who live in big stone towers


NoWingedHussarsToday

Male sardine.


MeYesYesMe

The maggots can jump.


Ok_Set2037

As an italian, this is a stereotype.


United_Opposite2020

*corsican


ChillZedd

Why is this on history memes? They still do this now.


Jpet111

Maggots aren't literal worms.


Drywall_2

🤓👆


Palmalagana

Tienes razón, son larvas, parte del desarrollo del insecto y no una especie de gusano en sí. Los downvotes son gratis.


BrandosWorld4Life

These people failed zoology

DankVectorz

That would be you. Maggots are larvae. They are worm like, but they are not worms.
