0:38 As a sardinian girl I feel so honored that our lord and savior Sam O'Nella mentioned a part of my culture! (even if it's one of the strangest part of it) So to celebrate here's some other little facts about casu martzu! As Sam says in the video "Casu" in sardinian means cheese and "martzu" means rotten. This cheese monstrosity literally means "rotten cheese" and it's sold in little villages in the more mountainous parts of sardinia. If you want to even get a glimpse of this cheese you have to get to one of those villages and personally know someone that makes that cheese. Or know someone who knows someone who knows a guy who's friend with someone who makes this kind of cheese. You get the idea. This alien-cheese, as most cheeses are, is eaten with bread. But not any kind of bread. Carasau bread. This type of  bread looks more like a extraordinary thin tortilla and it's crunchy like potato chips. You will find this type of bread EVERYWHERE in sardinia. It's not dining in sardinia if there is no carasau A lot of sardinian themselves find casumarzu disgusting but still a loved part of the culture. I too find it disgusting but I  can also testify that is actually really tasty and pretty good after your brain forgets that it's a maggot filled nightmare to save you from the trauma you just inflicted to yourself. Honestly we have even more strange recepies: wild boar sausage, "coratella" , quail in myrtle (it's not even that strange usualy but my grandma practically drowns the poor quail in the myrtle-) But I digress Aaaaand a last little fun fact about sardinians. We do have island syndrome. We are incredibly short for no damn reason apart from living in a iSlAnD . I'm not even joking, most of the people I know are bellow 1.70 cm and always have to use stools to get things from top shelfs. Hope this little fun facts were enjoyable, love from Sardinia!
