Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhídu, or in Italian formaggio marcio) is a cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae. Casu marzu means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese.

    While I have no problem eating hearts and gizzards and tongues and even bovine stomach lining, I’m not sure how easily I could cross over the line to eating insects and bugs.
