Hey there I’m Mr Terry and I’m my high school history teacher welcome back to another history teacher acts video all right you were all not late to notify me that samonella posted again and this video is called banned and controversial Foods can’t wait to see what he’s got

All right make sure to support Sam the link to this original video is down below give it a view like subscribe and let’s just get to it hey kids what if one time he didn’t do it that would be weird 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 saint killed a 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 kazum marsu gross the

Other thing that happens is mutations we’re not perfect clones of our parents so um small things may be different with you if it happens to be advantageous it’s a good chance that it could um it could uh it could you know keep going through your your your progeny it’s how

Evolution natural selection all that stuff works together so you can lose stuff but You’ also gain new Ab or gain abilities almost imperceptibly over time of course all right yes maggot cheese I’ve heard of this no literal translation rotten cheese it’s made by taking a perfectly good wheel of peino

And letting a special type of fly lay eggs in it the fly babies then work to partially digest the cheese rendering it and wet and maybe quite tasty and worm filled now cheese as a concept is already quite suspect it’s clotted milk that you fill with bacteria and mold and

Let sit for a while but cheese is safe and delicious cheese is my friend I trust cheese so my guard would be down around kazum marsu I’ve learned to look past to Cheese’s childhood strange upbringings are what give them their character but it turns out those maggots

Are still alive and if you don’t chew well enough they can cause anic miasis which is a fancy term for fly larae living in your intestines symptoms are ilar to food poisoning except with the added psychic pain of knowing that again your bows are full of squiggly new

Friends this is where I want to know Lo like okay does it taste good are we just getting weird are we just getting weird Italians like why is it it needs for this process to be okay it needs to be insanely delicious not just a weird

Thing to say that you ate okay knock it off Italy it’s for this reason that kazum marsu was banned in the EU and elsewhere a black market still exists which is wild in 2019 Kazu trade was estimated to be worth 2 to 3 million anually personally I would just do it

Prohibition style like definitely don’t put these fly eggs on this Sumptuous wheel of peino but if you do you absolutely shouldn’t keep it warm and damp for a week but although it’s traditional to leave the larae alive when you eat your mag and cheese some consumers still prefer them dead

Shockingly in that case one puts the cheese in a sealed bag and when the maggots run out of oxygen they ride around and fling themselves all over the place this is heard as a distinct pitter patter against the walls of the bag and when the sound stops the contents are

Ready to eat like popcorn I shouldn’t have to know what it sounds like before I eat it by the way this brought to mind um another cheese I’ve seen at the one of my gr the grocery stores near me they have like gourmet cheeses and and there

So many of them are from Italy one of them is interesting because this makes remind me of History too that it also has these like elements of uh the volcanic soil that Italy is known for if you guys didn’t know like uh you know you got these volcanoes right in Italy

And by the way the content of that volcanic ash in the ground um is actually what made Roman concrete which they are super famous for ancient ancient Romans right they build concrete it made it good uh was to have that element in there and it’s come even to

The modern day they’re putting it in cheese fin soup is one most of us have heard about already mostly in reference to its effect on shark populations and the wastefulness that goes into making it until recently though I never looked into the nature of the dish

Right the fins are just the only part of the Shark worth eating big whoop it’s probably not much different from like swordfish apparently though I had it backwards shark fins aren’t even meat they’re made almost entirely of cartilage and collagen they are the last part we should be eating that’s why it’s

Only made into soup because without being soaked in broth it has zero flavor or nutritional value on its own their only redeeming quality is their unique mouth feel due to how stringly the collagen grows in structures called serat treia the texture has been described this is the texture files that

Are are I think those exist in food communities weird Foodies that are just they’re only about the texture like come on it’s not food it’s literally not food somewhere between chewy and crunchy which I find describes most things actually other adjectives present on Wikipedia include Snappy gelatinous and

S the exact sensation of eating this substance remains a mystery to me and the unintended side effect of all this research is that I now really want to try it like it’s a big trade I’ve got to be the one that’s wrong there is IM stop stop killing the Sharks for food and

Stuff senu is the worst thing don’t you hate that it gets stuck in your teeth oh shark fin soup available but I’ve already decided that it’s not nearly as good so I’ve come up with a compromise to this controversy everyone on Earth gets just one bite say there’s

10 bites to a fin four fins to a shark 200 million sharks die sure a necessary casualty but then we can end the practice forever all done you can finally rest Mr Ming come here baby a aie what akie now we’ll say okay I’m not just some food was like I’ll try stuff

But if you’re going to try to get me to eat something weird tell me it tastes good Give Me A Reason Not Just to eat it right some things aren’t food I’m not into like proving something with my my food eating if it’s weird like Market it

To me in a way that is appetizing please the akaki is a fruit originally from West Africa which is most commonly associated with Jamaican Cuisine where it appears in such dishes as akie and saltfish these alien kidneys here are called the arrows and they’re the only part of the fruit that’s actually eaten

The flavor is on the Savory side being described as kind of nutty or bean-like what makes the Aki controversial though is the effects he can cause when prepared in properly if the arrows are allowed to completely ripen they’re harmless but if you eat them too early or don’t thoroughly clean off all the

Non- arrow stuff they can cause Jamaican vomiting sickness this disease doesn’t sound real it sounds like it belongs next to Eastern sweats and tang and Bone grindings but that’s actually an official term and as for symptoms it does what it says on the tin plus maybe death while AI based product so that’s

The thing okay stand like a meat you got to cook it if it’s too raw you could get whatever it get sick you know but if if there’s a food that can kill me if not cooked properly like that one fish that you can get like you know and it’s like

Sushi or something that could kill you if it’s not prepared right we probably shouldn’t be eating that food that is literally nature that’s biology telling us go away all right you wouldn’t need a skunk butt hole okay they emit stank out of it it’s it’s a natural defense

Mechanism saying go away way can we trust nature please aren outright illegal in the United States they are very tightly regulated and the raw fruit itself cannot be imported so if you’re American and want to try it your options are fully cooked canned aie or going to

Florida where a few people grow it domestically next we have bird’s nest soup this is another one that I’ve vaguely heard of and for years I just assumed the name was a playful metaphor like ants on a log or [ __ ] on a shingle turns out nope this dish contains an

Actual bird nest not like a pile of Twigs like I was picturing but rather a specific type of Nest only made by certain species of swiftlets these nests are mostly made out of mucins which are a set of proteins that among other things serve to thicken all those wonderful secretions our bodies make

There’s a little bit in human saliva a little bit more in mucus and in swiftlet saliva look out pal so all the swiftlet does is it finds a nice wall starts out fat strings of slobber which dry and eventually she’s got a nice place to roost that is right up until some

Gourmand says today I crave bird spit you can keep the eggs though and they then Recon back into original gelatinous texture unfortunately these nests can’t enter the US and believe it or not eating bird saliva is a great way to catch bird flu and now the time has come to all right

Just stop like these okay these are the things that like after we’ve exhausted all normal Foods then we can get into weird foods like if we’re on the brink of starvation for dying and everything we’re hearing here is at the bottom like like it’s it’s one small step from

Cannibalism speak of the ortalon the orelon is kind of which is a sort ofer which is a type of bird they’re birds like many animals they have a long history of being eaten by the French but what separates the orelon from your average squab or pheasant is the unique way in which it

Is prepared and eaten they’re typically caught with Nets and kept in the dark which causes them to overeat for some reason once it’s about twice as fat the entire bird is then thrown into a container of Brandy alive and sealed in while this serves to marinade the

Creature it also drowns in the process thereby killing one bird with no Stones the orelon is then roasted plucked and presented whole to the consumer who inserts the carcass into their mouth feet first as they chew one hand continues holding the bird’s head while the other picks out the larger bones

This whole ritual is usually performed with a towel or large napkin over one’s head there’s a few explanations for the purpose of the towel some say it’s just there to keep the Aromas in While others say it’s there to quote shield from God’s eyes the shame of such a decadent

And disgraceful act yeah this one I’m okay with not trying act yeah okay I don’t need any foods that have built into them a shame mechanism I’m not looking for that I’m not that kind of masochist okay is that what who this is for actually notable fans of this dish

Include not joking Bill Cosby and the guy who invented the labotomy ah to be part of that social club our mission is to eat Bird’s whole not remember things killing Orlons was banned across the EU in 2007 not for any ethical reason but because French people did this so much that the entire

Oron population was threatened thankfully as of 2018 their conservation stat you’re already eatting snails all right I know I think ancient Greeks did that we know that they domesticated them we found it but like okay but like we’ve come so far away we or we’ve come so far

In Cuisine under least concern so hopefully the French can get back to it anyway that’s all I today till next time I’m Sam andella and thank you for watching Sam so I literally just walked in from going to a pizza restaurant great delicious local chain and never at

Any moment of eating my my pizza and my cheese sticks was I like you know what I need I need maggot cheese that’s what I needed on this pizza you know what I mean I need some of that I needed some bird spit okay you know what I just want

To put a whole bird in my mouth and rip it out bone from bone I never thought that I said you know what pizza you’re fine let’s just keep going with this we’ll see yall next time bye yeah
