ORDINARY
Bread (Body bakery) •Thai Fine Art student and artist Kittiwat Unarrom is the son of a baker.
•All that baking exposure growing up has been a clear influence, but his artistic need to see things a little differently definitely flared up as he created the tacitly named “Body Bakery” – brutally, gruesomely, almost unbelievably realistic looking sculptures of dismembered human body parts sculpted entirely from bread
Casu Marzu (description)
• “Casu Marzu” means “rotten cheese” and is most commonly referred to as ‘rotten cheese’ and is most commonly referred to a ‘maggot cheese’
• The sheep’s milk cheese has had the larvae of the cheese fly, Piophila casei, introduced to it.
• The cheese has to be eaten when the maggots are still alive because when they are dead it is considered to be toxic
• Diners have to sheild their eyes or place the cheese in a sealed paper bag first (larvae can jump when they are disturbed)
• Health issues have arisen (allergic reactions, intestinal larval infection)
