>mommy! it's yuuuuucky!

>>14011618
it's definitely a skeleton in luigi's closet

aren't traditionaly 100y old eggs made with the piss of young boys?

grossest in the west maybe

>>14011618

i want to try it

>>14011618
Idk, I'd try it as long as I didn't get visible maggots on it

>>14011634
wtf I thought that was my unique technique, you're telling me this is tradition?
i really wanna beat the shit out of my sons now

>>14011618
what about that rotten shark "delicacy" dish that smells like piss

>>14011704
you mean your wife's sons

>>14011983
I've had that and it's really good. I ate it at one of the places in Iceland where they make it. It has a strong ammonia smell, which is not piss. But the ammonia comes from fermenting a shark that has a very high concentration of urea in its flesh (which does smell of piss) until the urea turns into ammonia. That's what makes it edible.

>>14012041
this is the first time ive ever read anything remotely positive about hakarl

>>14012062
If you like really strong cheese that has that same smell of ammonia you would probably like hakarl.

>>14012084
i dont like those very much and i dont even really like shark to be honest

>>14012041
Arent both urea and ammonia toxic?

>>14012103
Doesn't taste like cooked shark, it's more like a mix of Tuna sashimi and ammonia.

>>14012127
I think ammonia is less toxic than urea. The guy at the store said you should only eat 100g at a time.

>>14011618
I'd still like to try it

>>14011634
No, that's just one place that does that.
Super-traditionally, it was horse urine.

>>14012196
>Doesn't taste like cooked shark
I LOVE cooked shark.
Gummy Shark is the best fish&chips.

Me too, it's on my bucket list. I want a meal with a nice, rustic bread, casu marzu and a glass of robust red wine.

You know, you don't eat it for the maggots, they're just sort of there, and I bet they don't taste like much. The cheese is the product. And if you're a wimp like me, you can probably mash it with a fork or something until it stops wriggling, or just get you a chunk that's mostly maggot-free but still has that strong flavor that I'm sure casu marzu has.

>>14013121
The maggots actually jump around man
They sell you the cheese in plastic bags and you can hear the ticking sound of worms jumping against the plastic

>>14011637
What about that 25 year old Swedish rotten fish in a can

>>14013499

>>14011618
>casu marzu
yes, without a doubt.

Wikipedia: According to some food scientists, it is possible for the larvae to survive the stomach acid and remain in the intestine, leading to a condition called pseudomyiasis. There have been documented cases of pseudomyiasis with P. casei


no....fucking.....thank you

>>14013503
I eat them everyday instead of DEENZ

>>14013511
So that's why you smell like that

>>14013517
lovecraftian

>>14011618
Balut. Flavor isn't bad, but it's just about the worst thing to look at ever and depending on the maturity of the egg the texture can be horrific.

>>14013604
Balut is such a legendary shock factor food

>>14012041
Urea is in piss

this, i had a flip gf for a while who made me try it with her family when we visited them in canada. the one they gave me was pretty much just a really strong eggy flavor with a kind of gooey mouthfeel, but the ones they were eating were nearly whole baby ducks and you could hear the soft little bones crunching.

Nah, that would be pineapple pizza

>>14011618

No, I don't eat maggots unless there is a famine on.
This is the kind of shit that got us into the situation we're in.

That is not carrion that's a method to chemically process and preserve the fish.
>>14012084
as you mention, opening and airing a rind of cheese often releases the ammonia, and tbqf some cheese is good with ammonia. I have no idea how ammonia-y hakarl is but I'd eat it, it's not carrion.

Don't eat bats, carrion, maggots, pangolins, dogs, none of that shit.

Raw fish properly prepared? Oh hell yeah.
Blue cheese? For sure.
Saurkraut? Yup.
Maggots? Fuck no.

>>14013517
I eat them outside and take a tomato sauce bath after.

>>14013635
That's kind of disgusting, not gonna lie, but compared to eating live, maggoty cheese? I'll have the eggs please

>>14013801
I've eaten grubs and the like before. It's not bad at all. The potential health risk with casu marzu are the bigger worry for me.

>>14012041
yeah but imagine if it wasnt rotting to shit and stinking of piss, bet that would taste even better
