What Kind of Cheese is Our Commander of Cheese? I vote Casu Marzu

Would you eat a cheese full of MAGGOTS? This ILLEGAL cheese can only be found in Sardinia: https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/662167/cheese-maggots-illegal-sardinia-video

Casu marzu is made by introducing cheese fly larvae to the cheese to cause an advanced level of fermentation.

The fats in the cheese break down quickly and cause the cheese to become soft, almost liquid in some cases.

The cheese becomes so full of ammonia that it can sting when you eat it and the aftertaste can last for hours.

Some people choose to remove the maggots before serving.

Otherwise, people eat the maggots.

And you have to eat it while the maggots are alive. Sardinians believe that the cheese is dangerous after the maggots are dead, and thanks to the health and safety issues of the cheese, which is why it’s illegal in the EU.


It all fits: Illegal in the EU, full of maggots, so soft it is almost liquid.

Has Mueller been investigating the Rump's Sardinian connections?

And if you are daring, you can watch the video in the article.

And here I thought there was no cheese I wouldn't eat. Never say never!

But I like Randy's phrase, "He puts the Ass in Asiago."

It's almost as disgusting as the Commander in Cheese. Almost, but not quite.
