    I bet James Garner liked Roquefort.

    Aye.

    The maggots "process" the cheese making it all soft and reducing the acid in it.

    When I was in Italy, the mainlanders said they take the maggots out but, apparently, the Sardinians eat the lot - maggots and all.

    I don't think I could manage it without the maggots.. Just knowing they've been there I'd find vile. You'd be essentially eating maggot ****.

    I tried the maggoty cheese in Capri and it wasn't as bad as some delicacies I've tried, such as urine-soaked shark, fruit-bat fritters, and hamster coffins.

    Chevre is particularly strong goats cheese.

    Thanks anyway.

    That's how they seemed to differentiate in the boulangerie when I was ordering goats cheese tart anyway. That the Chevre one was the strong stuff.

    Considered a delicacy in Peru is a live hamster baked in a pastry wrapping. The fur, tail, head and bones remain, and one is expected to pull these pieces out from one's mouth and place them in a small bowl.

    The whole process is utterly hideous and one I shall never repeat in this lifetime.

    No, Chevre is goats cheese, 'chevre' meaning 'goat' in French.

    You northern *****s better stop ruining every language you encounter <grr> <grr>

    What's it called when you stick the hamster up your anus first?
