Hey majors, so I'd like to start off with a little biology lesson.

When a species finds itself living on an island, it can start to evolve in strange ways based on the different pressures applied by the new environment.

This is called Island syndrome, and while it can manifest in a lot of ways, the biggest driving force is often a lack of predators.

For example, the dodo lost its ability to fly since there was nothing to flee from.

The St. Kilda field mouse got twice as big since it no longer had to hide.

And with no one around to bully them, the Sardinians started putting maggots in their cheese.

Meet Casu Martzu.

Literal translation: rotten cheese.

It's made by taking a perfectly good wheel of pecorino and letting a special type of fly lay eggs in it.

The fly babies then work to partially digest the cheese, rendering it goopy, and wet, and maybe quite tasty, and worm-filled.
