The name literally means rotten cheese, it's intentionally filled with maggots to "ferment it," 'aficionados' specifically think it's unsafe if the maggots are dead so you're supposed to eat them live BUT THEY CAN SURVIVE IN YOUR GI TRACT and make you very sick. The fucking maggots can jump 6 inches!

What the fuck is wrong with people?

I learned about this because I guess I'm supposed to make a vegan "Dublin coddle" tomorrow for work and I was like, what the fuck is a Dublin coddle? and the wikipedia mentioned how it looks gross so Dubliners get defensive about it the same way others do about their weird national delicacies

The thing is though it's just slow simmered sausages and potatoes and shit, it looks gross because it's sad peasant food. This rotten cheese shit is on an entirely different dimension of "fucking gross"

You:

BUT THEY CAN SURVIVE IN YOUR GI TRACT

Your own source:

Tell me how live maggots of the same species are known to cause pseudomyiasis but, somehow, i guess they just don't if you eat them with cheese

The mold in Blue cheese is also known to produce harmful toxins that can kill a human being.

Funny how I can eat blue cheese without dying huh nerd?

If you wanted to actually parallel the argument it would be more like "the toxins in blue cheese magically don't affect the body if you get them from blue cheese even if they can through other exposure" since that's essentially the belief you're laying at this rotten cheese shit thanks to a throwaway line from a wikipedia saying "but no cases have been linked to the cheese" like it is the authority on infectious disease

Unless living in the cheese somehow alters the maggots in such a way that they can't survive your stomach and cause pseudomyiasis then, guess what? It can still happen just the same as if you consumed the maggots any other way! Unless you've got a proposed mechanism for why that wouldn't be the case other than "the wikipedia on rotten cheese said so"
