Casu Marzu es uno de los quesos más costosos que existen. Debe ser delicioso, ¿verdad? Pues su venta está prohibida en varios países y se le conoce como el queso más peligroso del planeta.

Y sí, lo que se ve en la imagen es lo que crees que es...

Descubre a que se debe su peligrosidad:

I wonder what's the dividing line between supposedly "evolutionary" phobias, and cultures where the object of those phobias is a traditional dish. Think fear of snakes/spiders/bugs/etc... They're probably less frequent out of sheer exposure, but I wonder if some people still develop them anyway and try to avoid those specific animals.

It also makes me wonder how much of these phobias are actually biological predisposition and how much are instead social contagion. Did the first person to sautée grasshoppers do it out of necessity and crunched through the fear, or was it the curiosity of a scientific cook?

SUN ANON HELLO MY BELOVED GLAD TO SEE YOU!!!!

2.) OH MAN..... poem 13 i think, i didnt anticipate so many people liking it but i love the rhythm and how the all caps just really adds to the feeling of wordless screaming i was trying to get across

3.) velveeta is liquid plastic and you cannot convince me otherwise

This is a gift, it comes with a price. Who is the lamb and who is the knife?

[miss-rum-hee]

These are the sort of people they put me on a list with. Literally just people who want the hostages back, but somehow they're Nazis? Make it make sense.

Salvē imperator,

Apparently the word larva means ghost or spirit in Latin. (pronounced Lar-wah)

Makes sense. They are ghastly pale, widely considered unsettling, and aren’t easily understood by the human mind.

They are all around us silent but always there operating outside of what man thinks how the world work; No ideals, no dreams, and no gods,

Thoughts on these creatures Imperator?

(Thanks for listening to my autistic rambling on grubs,)

"They are also surprisingly robust sources sources of protein. Many cultures have subsisted on the larvae of insects since time immemorial. I have done so myself. I have eaten many substances mortals would consider 'unsettling' in order to survive. Did you know, Stranger, that an ancient culture once created a form of cheese infamous for containing living fly larvae? The flies were allowed to lay eggs within the rind and their maggots made the cheese soft, sour, and creamy. One had to consume the larvae alive. as the cheese was said to have spoiled once the maggots died. "

Que apetitoso queso... 💀

And still like cheese, even if you might be toxic, someone is still looking for you.

I think there's a real tragedy in the way straight men don't see themselves the same way that people who are attracted to men see them. If you ask a straight man to describe what an attractive man looks like, there's very little variety - the masculine male ideal is tall, broad-shouldered, square-jawed with a cleft chin and built of sculpted muscle. The stereotypical image of an Alpha Male, someone whom he could respect, and envy.

And sure, there are plenty of women, gay men and people of all sorts who are attracted to to this specific type, even exclusively attracted to it, there is so much more variety in this, both in the tastes and their subjects.

The stereotype of "hot wife, ugly husband"-couples was drawn from the observations of straight men, from their own perspective. Women going after men that men find unattractive makes no sense to them, and they figure that women are willing to overlook being ugly if a man's funny, smart or rich enough. If a woman insists that she's attracted to a specific man who isn't attractive by their standards, they'll assume that she's lying.

The tragic part is when a man who believes himself to be ugly grows bitter over this, developing a foul personality which people do find repulsive, and then uses their repeated experiences of being romantically rejected as proof that they're physically unattractive, insisting that surely women would overlook his heinousness if only he was tall and muscular enough, and had the right bone structure. The self-feeding vicious cycle of being a bitter incel is born.

The thing about "ugly men with a good personality can still be attractive" is that they're usually not even ugly. Some people do genuinely find fat and hairy men, thin and delicate men, short men and feminine men attractive. There's as much variety as in cheese, you can't compare aura to brie. And just like in cheese, as long as you're not toxic, somebody's into that. You just need to find the right wine to compliment it.

Beelzebub told me to look up "corsica worm" on google. First result. Apparently it makes Italian maggot cheese T_T

A tale in two parts

[kobabeach]

brie cheese also just owns in general. im not a cheese scholar i need to get aquainted with the higher arts of cheeses all over the world but i do enjoy me a good brie, gorgonzola, camembert and maybe a little edam despite it paling a bit compared to the others (i am portuguese, so that's why that last one is there)

[thatfurrylightelemental]

I don’t have any strong opinions on this.

Italy has always been interesting with its food-related laws. I think the only reason casu marzu is allowed to exist is because of “heritage food” laws or something like that.
