    I would willingly get into a windowless white van if you told me there was aged Gouda inside.

      windowless white van

      That sounds difficult to drive.

          So, will the van look dirty afterwards? And if yes, is it on the outside or on the inside?

    Haven’t seen anyone mention this one, so let’s go.

    The most fascinating cheese would be Casu Martzu (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu). It is illegal to produce and consume pretty much everywhere, including in Sardinia where it is produced and was invented. It is the world most dangerous cheese, and people have died eating it.

    The Wikipedia articles goes into how it is produced, but essentially you leave a good old pecorino outside with some rind removed to allow flies to put their eggs in the cheese. The larvae then consume the cheese and ferment it further. You need to eat it while the larvae are still alive, although the larvae can survive your digestive system and grow in our intestine. Traditionally you should eat the maggots, but you don’t have to.

    I would never eat it, mind you, but it is definitely fascinating that such a thing exists.

      Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed,[4][12] diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping.

      Apparently you need to wear safety glasses to cut it because the maggots leap at you, while the cheese weeps salty tears.

    Brie. It’s soft and buttery rich on the inside, with a white moldy rind that tastes kind of fruity on the outside.

    It’s such a contradiction of flavors that I often lay awake at night, wondering about how does a cheese as facinating as brie could exist.

      Garlic and herb or black pepper? Personally, I don’t mind either but my partner will only buy garlic and herb so I have to smuggle black pepper into my work lunches

                I remember seeing that meme almost ten years ago. You couldn’t mention blue cheese in school without someone claiming it was gross because of the mold.

                I stopped participating in those memes though when they started to say margarine was made of plastic. I would later discover that was just big dairy marketing.
