Anyone watching the F-Word?
Would you eat that cheese?
Live maggots sqirming around in pecorino cheese?

it looks revolting! I can't believe anyone would want to make it let alone eat it

Thomcat · 17/06/2008 21:46

Oh.....my.... GOD

nice

god TPB is not a good looking man

expatinscotland · 17/06/2008 21:46

i wish i hadn't watched that.

bundle · 17/06/2008 21:47

i spose it's odd that i'm less concerned by the cheese than tpb's face

Thomcat · 17/06/2008 21:48

Would you?

I think I might be able to eat the teeniset bit on a huge cracker with a very large glass of water after.

Has it gone yet? Can't look at TV again until I'm sure that this abomination has disappeared.

bundle · 17/06/2008 21:50

eat it?

not sure

but definitely wouldn't do tpb

Hassled · 17/06/2008 21:52

I think they've made the whole thing up - like the Panorama Spaghetti Harvest.

Why would you eat that?

TPB seemed to have a certain charm .

LyraSilvertongue · 17/06/2008 21:52

No way would I eat that cheese. Vile.

Piffle · 17/06/2008 21:52

I've eaten it!!!!
in nz with ex boyfs mad ( in the good sense)sardinian family.
only found out afterwards of course about the maggots but it is supremely full, deep and lusty with red wine and good bread.

misselizabethbennett · 17/06/2008 21:53

Although if it was a choice between this and the blood pancake from last series I'm not sure which I'd choose. Probably the "cheese".

LyraSilvertongue · 17/06/2008 21:53

I agree TPB is far from attractive.

Brangelina · 17/06/2008 21:53

My Sardinian neighbour once offered me this. His mother had sent it over to him in his "goodies from home" parcel. The cheese had been blended, so the worms weren't immediately evident. He offered me some, spread on a slice of crusty bread. He only mentioned the worms when I asked why it was called rotten cheese and just as I was about to take a bite.

I politely declined it on the basis I'm a vegetarian.

Apparently it's a great delicacy. I can imagine it being quite healthy, all that extra protein and less fat

Thomcat · 17/06/2008 21:54

Go on Piffle!

Wouldn't eat a maggot but might have to try a bit of the cheese.

hurrah for piff!

one of my friends was horrified by her MIL bringing a dead porcupine in her suitcase from Africa...so next time you see those tv shows on customs men dragging in woman with illegal bushmeat..it could be her...

bundle · 17/06/2008 21:56

isn't it the maggot poo that makes it?

Thomcat · 17/06/2008 21:59

Hmmm yes it is actually the poo that gives it the distinctive flavour! Oh GOD!!!!!!!!!

its extra fermentation in simple terms..
It is quite heady, you could not eat lots, and not without the stoutest red wine and stern bread.
Was strangely desiring some after seeing the clip.
