Disgusting or Odd Foods

[Anonymous No.15120695]

I've gotten quite interested in disgusting and/or odd foods lately and I wonder if this is something anyone here is interested in as well. I'll post 4 or 5 foods to kick the thread off.
First off is Casu Marzu, a cheese I'm sure everyone has heard of. Its made by allowing flies to lay eggs in pecorino. When the eggs hatch, maggots eat and excrete the cheese, resulting in a unique flavor. Its traditionally eaten with the maggots still alive.

Next up is green ant cheese. This is a cheese from Australia that is topped with native green ants (dead, thankfully). Supposedly the ants give a burst of citrus flavor to the cheese.

Third we have hakarl, the famous fermented shark meat from Iceland. This is made by preparing a shark carcass and burying it for a month or two (preferably on the beach), then digging it back up and hanging it in a drying shack for another few months. Supposedly it tastes somewhere between fish and blue cheese.

Going for a bit of a twist here with number four, this one is not usually on ranked gross food lists - locusts. Popular in Israel, locusts are a kosher snack prepared any number of ways. I seem to remember John the Baptist munching on these from Sunday school. Of course any article you read about these highlights the need to move towards eating insects globally. Jews eat locusts, and that's a good thing!

Lastly one of my favorites from researching lists - fried fruit bats, apparently a part of Indonesian cuisine.

You just know this is one of those things that some sick demented faggot convinced people to do a thousand years ago and for some reason still no one has realised that it's fucking retarded.

>Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin, beaks and feathers included.[1]As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out.[2]Over the course of three months, the birds ferment,[2]and are then eaten during the arctic winter, particularly onbirthdaysandweddings.[3]

You haven't lived until you've eaten both of those in the same meal.
