sheep milk cheese that contains live fly maggots

No thanks
Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping.
"Hey, I had an idea for a cheese that's been pre-digested by maggots"
"That sounds awful"
"No no, wait, I didn't get to the best part - you gotta protect your face while youโre eating it or the maggots might jump on you"
If the maggots aren't jumping, it's considered to have gone off, iirc.
I think they had to eat something like this on the Amazing Race. It was the dozenth time or so that I realized there are things I won't do for a shot at a million bucks. Right up there with the African tribe you had to let the elder spit on your face as a greeting.
