Grossest thing you've ever eaten.

[Gnat91]

I'm not one to stray from the norm.... I will try stuff but I can't really think about what I'm eating or I'll puke. So anyway, I teach Sailors and Marines how to paint aircraft and in class today someone asked me if I'd ever had scrapple and head cheese. Of course my answer was "no". So I have this Filipino kid in my class and he asks me if I've ever had balut. I kinda knew what it was....but then I Googled it. If you don't know what it is... DO NOT Google balut. It's basically a chicken egg with a baby chicken in it.. I think the most adventurous I've gotten was menudo when I was in El Paso. Anyone got some gross stuff they eat??

For me, anything out of the ocean is gross for the most part.

My sisters the same way .. She hates seafood.. I could eat a ton of it.

 

[Howie'81]

Do boogers count?

 

[PSUcup1]

steak tartare ... so effing gross. had to spit it out

looked like cat food

 

[Nitwit]

I like organ meats - liver, pickled tongue, sweetbreads, tripe, etc. I was at at high end restaurant in Montreal once and had calves’ brains. The consistency is about what you would imagine and they were sautéed with wild mushrooms in a brown sauce.

Oh c'mon Gnat, you've never taken the balut challenge! It tastes better than it looks.

Only in Michigan...

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Well, I’ve had to eat crow a few times in my life. Hard to swallow.....

Balut. Brings back a lot of memories of being aboard a few different aircraft carriers while on Westpacs. We'd pull into Subic Bay in the Philippines and go into Olongapo City for cold San Miguel beer and hot female companionship. One of the bars outside of the main gate going in to town from the base had a small pond-like enclosure with a crocodile. There was a street vendor nearby who sold balut to drunk sailors and marines. After the first bite - sometimes including a mouthful of feathers - the egg would find it's way into the croc's mouth. You're correct about them being pretty gross.

Czernina or Polish blood soup. When I was in 'nam, I may have eaten dog. They have soup there they call Fo. There are all kinds based on chicken or pig or pork or whatever. However, you have no idea what meat it is, really. I suspect they often serve whatever is the cheapest. It was hard to eat it at these little side tables.

 

[JWB389]

Escargot. Tasted like dirt. Can't see how people like that.

 

[UncleLar]

A Korean delicacy called Beondegi . I was stationed in Korea during my military service. My Korean girlfriend took me to dinner at this neighborhood cafe. She ordered the Beondegi, while I just had a bowl of rice. When I asked her what she was eating, she said she didn't know the English word for it (or she purposely chose not to tell me). I thought they were a freshwater shrimp or something, so I tried them. The next day, back on base, I told one of our Korean soldiers that I had eaten some Beondegi. He looked at me, smiled and said "most Americans won't eat them". Then he told me what they were, fried silkworm pupa.

Actually it's a duck egg and I have had them many times. After enough San Miguels and Tanduay
Rum they taste great.

 

[Mister Magoo]

A sponge. Party was boring

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Watch “Bear Grylls” and I guarantee anything you’ve eaten is nowhere near as bad as what’s eaten on his adventures.

 

[Gnat91]

Hell... . No.

When I lived in Japan, I remember going to a dinner where the octopus tentacles were so fresh, they were still wiggling on the plate. I was like, 'pass the veggies please and thank you!'

 

[ras5051]

I went to a Brazilian steakhouse in Saudi Arabia.. We had camel from one of the skewers, which was kinda gross. I was traveling w/ a Brazilian colleague and he mentioned Brazilian steakhouses don't typically serve that

Tri-Delt after a football Saturday.

Awful.

So you are sponge worthy. Elaine Bennis intrigued.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Oh. There is. There certainly is.

I love offal as well. I grew up having to eat it because my parents had to during the depression. I didn't like it as a kid, but enjoy it today. We were eating fried cow brains one night as a kid, and I was picking through it, un-enthousiastically... I ask what the green stuff was inside and my sister told me it was boogers. If I wasn't already opposed to eating brains before, I really was dead set against it. In the end I managed to finish them reluctantly.

 

[Nit Nolte]

Live ants in my driveway but they were pretty good. Tasted like lemons. I've been poisoned twice by escargot. It tasted good but a few hours later I was begging for death. Never again. I'll try anything once though.

My dad loved Czernina. Pigs feet too, turtle soup. The smell of pigs feet grossed me out.

 

[not so fast my friend]

A chicken foot in China. Yuck.

Live abalone is second. I eat and love a lot of sushi but this was gross.

Had octopus still moving while in Korea. But that was good except it sucks onto your tongue.

Donkey, spiced. In China was yummy.

Yeah...Herring too.

Just got back from a business trip to Puebla, Mexico. I had ant eggs and fried worms. The worms were not bad but the ant eggs were too spicy.

It’s Pho. There is a pho restaurant in State College in North Atherton near where the bus station is located.

Sardines, pickled herring or in cream sauce, anchovies, snails, frogs legs - it’s all good. Gefilte fish during the Jewish holidays is a treat. The stuff in jars has a gelatinous substance that it’s packed in. YUM

Her name was Sonja. Nasty.

 

[A2Nit]

Yup, Czernina (Wife’s fam is Polish). A textual, visual challenge.
I also second chicken foot in China as well as boiled octopus in Shanghai.

 

[Beachwineguy]

Saw a drunk guy at a bar eat a urinal cake once. Well, actually he just took a bite, but that was enough for me.

 

[STPGopherfan]

HAAA! Thanks! Just spit my beverage.

I have had Menudo Soup before. Nothing you haven't eaten if you've eaten sausage. For clarity, see image below. The Menudo band pic made me think I should clarify.

 

[Art]

Sea cucumber and a Japanese egg custard called chawanmushi. Both are basically tasteless, but the texture, which I can only describe as extreme slime, is revolting to the point that one immediately wants to upchuck not only it, but the contents of one's stomach, and an internal organ or two or three.

 

[STPGopherfan]

Pronounced ‘fuh’.

Reminds me of my favorite name for a restaurant.
