Just read this article about someone on a flight from Atlanta Georgia to Charlotte. They had rotting meat and maggots in their HAND luggage.
Why would anyone want to do this.

Some time ago, a passenger left a food container in one of the overhead compartments. Nobody noticed. Then this happened.

I have to apologize to our Southern citizens for these remarks. We make fun of them because they have some differences with other areas of the US. Some of our best minds have come from the South, and their hospitality is unrivaled anywhere in the world.

Gee, thanks guys.

Someone took food on board because airline food sucks and costs too much. They forgot it in the rush to leave the plane. People cleaning the plane missed it- so it sat and wasted. Voila- maggots.

There are certain foods that are at their best when they are “rotten” and with maggot.

My friend (a French Man) had a cheese he loved and could only get when back in France.
It was a rather stinky cheese with (live) maggots in it. He loved it.

Sea urchin is also a delicacy. One time working at a house that was on the water.
The sea wall had sea urchins on it. He jumped over the side. Got one, split it open and wiped out the inside with a piece of bread and ate it.

@chyna @gemiwing Sorry -we New Jerseyites have to get in our licks when we can. You know from The Sopranos that we are inclined to fight dirty.

I’m a “southerner.” We will eat anything. :-)

@janbb You know I can’t stay mad at that cute face.

@partyparty Compare it to the Northerner/Midlanders/Londoners of England and you’ll get the picture. It’s an old stand-by that Southern people are rural idiots with no teeth, New Jersey is full of mafia kingpins, Californians can’t do anything but surf and smoke weed. Each region of the U.S. is seen as inferior in some way.

@janbb It may take me days, but I’ll find a New Jersey jab. :-)
@ChazMazz Well, not everything.
