Grossest thing you've ever eaten.

In Chengdu, China I had the privilege of eating goat uterus soup. It was memorable. Also had a lot of “Sea Cucumber” in Beijing...it’s a worm from the bottom of the bay.....
I wouldn't know but there's another video of LA Beast where he pays a guy 500 bucks if he can choke down a can of this stuff. It's late at night and they're out in some alley doing this. The dude took off his shirt and shoes to spare them from the vomiting. That's a good one too. I am quite entertained by the LA Beast. He does a lot of competitive eating stuff and eats some pretty disgusting shiz as well.
In survival school we had to trap (deadfalls) and kill mice and voles and then roast them over fire. Bones and all. First bite was memorable, but you got used to it. It's been nearly 20 years, but I remember raw marrow being nasty.
I had a vietnamese friend challenge me to eat a soft boiled fertilized duck egg. Bones and feathers....crunchy. I did eat it, but it was rough.
I spent some time up in Alaska and asked some Yupik natives to try seal oil and dried seal meat. Still gives me shivers thinking about it. Essentially liquified and air dried blubber.

I've tried and eaten a lot of gross things (pickled pigs feet, pork hocks, head cheese, souse) but nothing tops "nook mom". I had some during my tour in Vietnam. It's a seasonly liquid you pour over meat, fish, rice, and veggies. Like soy sauce in consistency but that's where the like ends. It's made from decaying/rotting fish. The VIETNAMESE bury fish underground for a week(?) and the residual liquid from the fish is "nook mom". I tried it on a dare ONE TIME and barfed on the spot.
I once sampled Rocky Mtn. Oysters at Cattlemen’s in Oklahoma City, but the worst thing I’ve ever eaten was woefully undercooked rabbit at a corporate dinner in NYC. I ate one piece and discarded the rest. My co-workers weren’t as wise.
Rabbit is good stuff but it should be slow cooked. I had rabbit and chicken paella in Cannes, France one time and it was delicious. Although just about anything you get in France is delicious. I’m a big fan of fois gras served in a flaming apple brandy which I had in Marigot, St Martin, Fr. The best chefs can turn unappealing cheap peasant food ingredients into the most wonderful dishes.

Nothing particularly gross that I can recall. I don’t give a shit about custom - if it looks or sounds gross, I’m not freakin’ eating it.
And, yeah, most seafood is foul to me.
I worked with a dude who must have had deadened taste buds or some appetite abnormality. Food literally meant almost nothing to him except as an energy source. Every workday for lunch he’d have a salad made up of some spinach, soybeans, carrots and maybe a tomato or 2 - and never any dressing. That’s all he ate. On the positive side he was skinny as a rail even without exercise.

I was at a bar with free appetizers, it was somewhat dark, and I had been drinking... But I had a bacon wrapped scallop that was amazing... so I went back to get more (after a few more drinks)... I found them, only this time they were bacon wrapped LIVER !!!
Forgot that I ate a fried rattlesnake sandwich when I was stationed at Ft Sill OK. It was like a chick-fil-a sandwich only drier and tougher. Had to load it with mayo and hot sauce.
And fried gator in Florida. That’s actually really good though.

LA Beast is hilarious. My sons and I are often entertained by watching him. He's eaten cactus, drank gallons of cooking oil (was coming out every orifice and pore), 120 warheads, etc.
More candidates from the Philippines.
Dinuguan - This blood stew is made from meat simmered with offal (kidneys, intestines, lungs, heart, ears and snout) in a pigs’ blood gravy flavored with garlic, chilli and vinegar.
My wife's family thought it would be funny to tell me this was meat cooked in chocolate.
Papaitan - This is a stew of goat or beef offal (that’s the innards) with bile (digestive juices) to give it a bitter flavor. Originally from the Ilocos region, the stew has a greenish hue from the bile and is flavored with onions, garlic and mild chilli peppers.

That’s not gross. It would be gross if you ordered a steak and it was served with the head on!
Hey, Acme Pizza fed me more times than I care to admit. $1 got you the slice and big soda refill.
Tastes like chicken...Oh c'mon Gnat, you've never taken the balut challenge! It tastes better than it looks.
Mutton. My parents made me eat it at my farmer uncle’s dinner table (he probably killed and butchered the old sheep hours before - fresh mutton doesn’t make it any better - nothing could make it better - the word ‘better’ shouldn’t even be used in relation to mutton - there is no BETTER mutton).
One and done for sure.

Someone grew up in a posh neighborhood. Where I grew up, we ate things like on a dare.
Hey, the kid in the book How to Eat Fried Worms got $50...so I was doing it cheap.
Filipinas have a very curious sense of humor! Several of my friends married Filipinas, and most of them tried to get me to eat the most disgusting things they could concoct. And to get me to marry a sister, cousin, or friend, all with a ready assortment of young'uns.
One wife: "She (sister) is a great cook and housekeeper."
Me: "How many kids?"
One wife: "She has only 2."
Her friend 1: "3"
Her friend 2: "4"
One wife (glaring at friend 2): "She has only 3."
Fish head curry in Singapore. I enjoyed it. Apparently the best part is the meat right behind the eyes.
I also went to a chicken and rice place in Singapore and the strange thing was how they chopped the chicken. They cooked the chicken whole and then just seemed to randomly chop it up into about 8 pieces. You really did not know what part of the chicken you were getting.
One of the worst things I had was when my family and I went to an Indian place in the philly burbs. They had something on the kids menu called Indian Pizza. My son who was about 8 at the time ordered it. It was nan bread, with plain tomato pasta on top sprinkled with paneer cheese. My son would not eat it and my wife and both started scolding him. We each took a bite and said, okay you don't have to eat it. It was absolutely awful and my wife and I both love Indian food.

Ha, I was only half kidding that it was bad. I really dont know what ACME pizza tasted like other than at 2 am. And the next day I always felt like crap so it must have been the pizza right?
Lengua(Cow tongue)? That and Cabeza (Cow Cheek) are great! Lengua if done right is very tender.
I never have. I still remember my last conversation with an in-law (passed away) that was raving about them. Still find it bizarre that Rocky Mountain Oysters was our last conversation.
Haha, yaaaaaah...I'm sure it was the pizza and not the 5 shots of whiskey and 12 beers you drank, along with the 14 bong hits.
