I don’t know who in their right mind would eat something like that. If you want to eat maggot cheese go ahead. That’s your decision.
If the original cheese does not contain animal rennet it’s vegetarian.
As far as the maggots, there are risks you take when you eat that kind of cheese. There is a chance of the cheese being decomposed to a toxic state…many people also get allergic reactions to it.
Some people leave the maggots on the cheese to eat it. These maggots are them consumed. There have been reports that people get upset stomach, cramps, and bloody diarrhea when the larvae try to boar their way out the person’s stomach.
And if you eat the maggots you are not a vegetarian because vegetarians don’t eat bugs either.
CAN they? Of course. it’s just food.
Will they? Probably not since it has maggots and maggots are animals.
And most omnis won’t eat that either.
I’ve tasted it once and if you get past the fact that there are live maggots in it, it’s not bad. However, I doubt that I will have cravings for it nor would it be on my shopping list any time soon
Vegetarians can’t eat most cheese to begin with. Unspecified enzymes = fail
no, vegetarians don’t eat anything like that.
