The most disgusting food ever?

[ejb626]

Koreans eat live octopus.


Other than that, I can't really think of much.

Ah man you ninja'd me I happend to see a documentariette (I'm not coining that word for an extra short documentary type thing) on that in biology today so it was the perfect thing to post in this threa

altho i hate tons of food, the worst ever has to be:

#1.Balut


From:
The Philippines

What the hell is it?
Behold, for our journey of horror reaches its destination. Balut are duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.


They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand. You can spot the vendors because of their glowing red eyes, and the faint, otherworldly sound of children screaming.

Wait, it gets worse ...
... Because you're never going to look at an egg the same way. Tell yourself that every time you crack open an egg from now on you won't be half expecting a leathery wad of bird to come flopping out into the skillet.

Yes, balut is upsetting on about a half-dozen levels. Sure, all meat eaters know on some level that the delicious chop on your plate used to belong to something cute and fluffy, which gambolled in the sun during the brief spring of its life. Most of the time, it' perfectly possible not to give a shit. But, when you're biting into something that hasn't even had a chance to see its mother' face ... well, it' different.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Actually, marketed properly, these eggs could be a damn good motivator. When you've looked death in the face at breakfast time, what the hell else can the day throw at you?

Oh the delightful balut...

My girlfriends mum is a Filipino and I know all too well the weird and horrible stuff they eat.

The smell of rotting fish being fried is something I won't forget easily.

 

[Simalacrum]

well, I heard in Mongolia they eat Venice testicles...

 

[pffh]

How about some sour sheep balls and sheep face?

The sheep face tastes good but be honest would any of you eat it?

 

[delet]

Mashed Potatoes. Ugh, such a horrible consistency, I can't even try eating it without gagging, despite me apparently having no gag reflex (I can touch my uvula, that thing that hangs in the back of your throat. It makes for a weird way of passing time.)

 

[Aesir23]

Lutefisk. I've never eaten it, nor do I ever want to. It's fish soaked in a solution of water and LYE.

 

[Rancid0ffspring]

Any sort of parsnip. Especially roast parsnip, Sneaky bastards hide amongst roast potatoes & look very similar. The taste makes me gag & taints my mouth for the rest of the meal.

As for Black pudding I admit it looks horrible. Damn it goes well with a sunday morning fry up though

 

[dex-dex]

marmite?

yeah pretty gross
as someone had put it aka Bill from Loading ready run
"Marmite is like eating a yeast infection"

>_O Such a lovely visual. You, sir, have scarred me for life.

 

[dex-dex]

well no problem but thanks for the sir comment

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

I ate beef tongue when i grew up... the only food that can taste you back!

But the worst food i've ever had was blood sausage.

Heh what a coincidence I just ate a tounge sandwich before. Damn tasty for what is essentially getting with a dead cow, its Necrobeastophillia in food form!

Anyway worst food ever, well Mushrooms smell gorgeous but the texture makes me gag. Other than that tripe is the stuff of nightmares

And black pudding is one of the best foods ever.

 

[Merrik Waters]

Kimchi. . . smells rather like rotting crap. . . NO THANK YOU

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

God, Milkfish.

My mom eats that stuff all the time. Gross...

 

[Xerosch]

Roasted cow udder. I saw this once on TV, it's a very stringy tissue, almost 100% fat and an uneatable thaiwanese specialty. I'd never be able to even chow this!

 

[Nechti_Visara]

I personally don't like sea urchin. It is FAR too fishy tasting for my tastes.

Actually, the thread starter is something I've wanted to try for a while now. Sure, it's kind of cruel, but it looks REALLY good.

 

[stabnex]

Refried beans and pasted bananas. I don't remember who decided they were part of the same dish, or even what it's called, all I know is it makes me throw up a little in my mouth just thinking of eating it again.

 

[ninja_thae]

I don't care what anyone says, I hate alligator and I can't stand sweet tea.

This might just make the the worst Alabama resident ever.

 

[Terrik]

Has to be like elk tongue or squid..
