Casu Marza is a Banned Food in the U.S. – Be Thankful

Tuesday, 27 February 2018, 2:39 BFH Uncategorized 33

I was reading a list of foods that have been banned in the U.S., and one stands out as the star of the list. Even beating out Puffer Fish sushi, which can kill you if you get some its toxin in you.

Haggis from the UK is banned. That’s sheep heart, liver and lungs ground into a “pudding.” It’s banned because of the lung meat, which could contain phlegm. Phlegm is a better choice than our star of the list.

A fruit from France, a plum, is banned because France wants to keep it for themselves as a tourist attraction.

Another item was banned because there’s a toy inside it and it’s deemed a choking hazard.

Ackee fruit from Jamaica is banned because it can kill you if you eat it unripened.

Okay, let’s get to the worst one-

That’s Cazu Marza. It’s a cheese. It’s made by cutting a hole in the rind and allowing flies to lay eggs inside. The cheese is ready when the maggots that hatch soften the cheese to perfection, according to the chef. People then mash the maggots into the cheese, making a nice soft paste.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Why is this banned?

  1. Ewww…. I remember learning about this cheese while watching the discovery channel like 10 years ago. They showed the entire process… needless to say I didn’t have cheese for like a month afterward.

  2. Maggot cheese. Yummy. Which reprobate chef had too much down time in the kitchen to come up with that brilliant idea?

    🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  9. I think my wife was making that in the fridge, she forgets what’s in the fridge cause it’s the size of a house.
    I have my own more manageable fridge that I keep the basics in.
    And there are no science experiments in it.

  19. Demonrat Cheese?
    Lawyer Cheese?
    Kaepernick Cheese”
    Sharpton Cheese?
    Jackson Jr. Cheese?
    Clinton Cheese?
    Obola Cheese?

    Sooooooo … what is the precise translation of “Casu Marza?”

    izlam Cheese?

    izlamo delenda est …

  20. Ok, so maggots live and eat in the cheese, that implies they excrete in the cheese, so now you’ve added another disgusting element.

    What’s this cheese’s origin? Ethiopia or Haiti, ooooohhhh, wait CA is making its own version, now: Called Homeless Cheese.

  22. Looked it up. It’s origins are France and Italy. Some variations are made in other regions. The Sardinians make a version and sell it on the black market.
    I avoid all stinky soft cheese.

  23. Buttheadicus, the guy you’re thinking of is Andrew Zimmern the bald headed guy on the Travel Channels Bizarre Foods program. He’ll eat anything but Spam, he hates Spam. Go figure Spam would be a delicacy compared to a lot of the rest of the bizarre foods I’ve seen him eat on that program. I once saw him eat seal poop ice cream when amongst the Inuits in far Northern Canada and I was grossed out. The guy must have an iron stomach because there is no way I would ever eat any of the shit he eats while watching that program, it’s kind of like watching a culinary train wreck. YUCK!

  27. Another item was banned because there’s a toy inside it and it’s deemed a choking hazard.

    Recently I have been seeing the Kinder Joy chocolate eggs with the toy at the Asian farmer’s market and most recently at Costco. I don’t know if the ban has gone away but they are now available.

  31. The French have had some very decadent, extreme food fashions in the past. Such as this cheese, those little birds they let rot before they cook them. Stuff like that. I put booze in that category. But that’s just me.

    > Seattle freaks were picking coffee beans out of monkey shit and brewing it a few years back… And bragging about it

    You know they just hired some person of color to do the work racists won’t do. But still take the credit for. And the credit cards, of course.
