What's the most disgusting food item you've ever eaten?

Question

For me, it's sheep's brains! I didn't know it at the time until I learned afterwards what it was.

Any one actually tried haggis, escargot, sea cucumber, or baby octopus?

Just remembered what's more horrible than sheep's brains....balut! I didn't regugitate but never ever going to try eating balut again.

Answer 1

Definitely beondegi, steamed silkworm pupae. Ate them in Korea on the street. Wish I'd just eaten the street. I think their little fat legs are still caught in my teeth 9 years later.

I also once ate a ladybug, but that was not by choice. Damned brother!

Answer 2

Once, I had a shooter made up of several different kinds of raw items from a sushi bar. There was a raw quail egg on top. A few of the items were so fresh they were still quivering. It was not disgusting at all to me and my friend. Everyone I describe it to goes Ewwwww. I can't imagine why=)

Answer 3

What is disgusting to some is good to others.
Everybody says tripe is disgusting when it sells at the same price as reasonably priced Steak, I question that.
Oysters are even more pricey and even more disgusting.

Both, are the guts of the creature, so why should the guts of an oyster be more of a delicacy than that of an ox?

Eat with your eyes closed and don't ask.

Even mountain oysters can be delectable as long as you don't ask.

Answer 4

I got to say mine was Fois Gras, never been able to eat it since even though it seems to being served everywhere I go in London. Just tasted chalky and nausea inducing.

As for the person who said black pudding was discusting, I would say that the idea is a lot worse than the taste

Answer 5

If I eat the food, it's not disgusting. It may be to others but I could care less.
Some of the foods I tried. Rattlesnake, alligator, squirrel, rabbit, snails, brains, hog testicles, bull penis, chicken & duck feet, animal intestines and chocolate covered ants. Disgusting no, tasty yes!

Answer 6

My parents tricked me to eating cow liver when I was four. I don't know why I wasn't asking what it was.
And then there was the time I went out to eat w/ all my relatives and they served a whole plate of fried frog legs. No one bothered to tell me what it was. I just assumed it was chicken since my family is chinese. They all made fun of me in Mandrin (I only understood Cantonese then).
Embarassing and Disgusting

Answer 7

My stepmom once made me breakfast. She took grated cheese, tomato, eggs and ham and mixed it all in a pot with lots of water, then she put it on bread, it was so soppy and slimy and cold too. .It was truly aweful. and I had a hangover too
THe other time she cooked a fish that they caught in a river, and put the whole thing on my plate, eyes, insides, fins, the whole thing just like that, not cleaned it was asif she caught the fish and put it on my plate as is. Not even the dog would eat it.

Answer 8

I won't eat anything disgusting or weird, and my family knows this.
My Grandmother made squirrel stew and said it was chicken. One taste and I knew it wasn't, but disgusting only because of what it was. I love squirrels, but not to eat them!
My uncle had gone hunting and that is all he could bring back, I didn't like him much after that.

Answer 9

I'm up for trying anything once, but my Korean mother in law made octopus once and I gave it a try. OMG! I don't know if it was just the way she cooked it...but it was horrid!

Answer 10

Worm inside a tequila candy sucker. Took 4 shots of Tequila to eat the sucker and two shots to swallow the worm. And my best friend to remind me the next day what I had done!
