Is brie supposed to be hairy and have bugs in it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu

Casu marzu is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae, Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming; others do not

Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, /diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping. Those who do not wish to eat live maggots place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.

I take offence to that comment as I'm sure most other Italian's would!

Plus I'd fully * that sweary or you'll be saying bye bye!

It's a Catherine Tate sketch joke, hence the wink..sorry, no offence intended

Is that really a swear though ? - starring just in case ! thanks.

Only if you applied that logic across the board. Then at least you would be consistent.

******* (as in ******* son) isn't a swear word in the anglo saxon kind of way but it's offensive, usually.

I got some brie cheese and the outside is hairy with like white mold and as I opened the package (had some of the cheese other day so was not sealed), I noticed this small crawling bug, looks sort of reddish.


Cheers.

It's a queen brie, my dad kills them for a living.

what about meat? most animals are eating food that was able to grow because of the poop.

Cow poops > grass gets nutirents from poop > cow eats grass > cow poops > the cycle begins again

What does that have to do with mushrooms?

 

[StoutMeister]

I added a load of our cats poo to their pots/bags... said that dump helps things grow.

Silly mare had a pop at me and said it was disgusting and binned the lot

I don't think that cat's mallacas benefit the growth of tomatoes or any other veg/fruit for that matter.
Thank your Mrs.

In other words I'm sure most things you eatarae equally as disgusting/dan grouse as safe mould.

Mould is a fungi
Mushrooms are fungi
Yeast is fungi
Things like prawns feast on dead flesh.
Shellfish are generally sea filters.
Plants are grown in poo

Etc etc.

I've eaten hairy brie loads of times, it just means it's getting nice and ripe and the mould has grown some what. Ripe brie is the best, go to France and their stuff will have mushrooms growing from the top cos it's so ripe. MMMMmmmm hairy cheese.

I love shrooms.

The edible ones.

Not the ones that make you high, I've never tried those.

As for cheese? Blergh. Horrible stuff...

 

[Tefal]

Why does the fact that mushrooms are, and grow in, poo not put you off?

Mushrooms, and all other forms of fungus, can FOAD. Blergh.

iirc mushrooms re grown in completely sterile substance cause the bacteria kills them.

unlike other fruits and vegs, which are sometimes fertilised with human manure.

I guess cheddar and Edam are ok...

And of course cheese and onion crisps are good

 

[Haggisman]

You're all missing the most important point of this thread... Willhub... how can you be 22 and have never had brie?! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU MAN!? XD

 

[McPhee]

That's it trimmed. Would have been a lot more mould on there before.
