This reminds me of the Sardinian 'casu marzu' (rotten
cheese). The cheese fly (piophila casei) lay eggs in
sheep milk during the process, or you add some
larva... They are long and creamcoloured, and the
greatest delicacy is considered to eat it all while
the larva are still alive inside.
In the old days, when people did not know the
connection, some thought these larva 'came from the
milk' and not the fly.
The odd thing is we find a live cheese distusting -
but would happily eat the soft cheese where mold and
funghi are a part of the process :-)

rgds, Lone
