Carboni's "Sometimes, it tastes real good" above is pretty faint praise. I can get past the whole disgust factor -- probably not far enough past to ever <i>taste</i> the cheese, but there's plenty of food I find disgusting that I'm willing to accept tastes good to some people. But I don't see the appeal of a disgusting, quite possibly unhealthy cheese that also tastes lousy. And then there's that whole bizarre "they're microbes, not maggots" theory...

Wait ... I mean different from a well-prepared donair. Mmmm, wriggly. I don’t see how this cheese is any different than a poorly-crafted donair. Wait … I mean different from a well-prepared donair.

I like good cheese myself, but I think this is too far for me as well. Especially since the indications are that it doesn't <i>taste</i> very good. I seem to remember hearing about this before.
