Well, inspired by Pippa, I took it upon myself to create a quiz for everyone to enjoy. My topic was disgusting foods from around the world. In the course of my research, I found myself ready to yak! I do no have a super sensitive stomach, but some of this stuff made my stomach turn. Just the thought of it, so alas I can not continue with my quiz. I was to include such yummy treats as:
Haggis - all the parts of a sheep that you don't want to eat
Lardy Cake - need I say more?
Sylta - hog's head meatloaf
Lutefisk - Lynn's favorite
Maggot-Cheese - yep, leave it out - wait for maggots to hatch and spread on bread.
Jellied Blood - remind me that if I ever go to China I must not eat
Ngapi-Jaw - "While you're making it, your house reeks of dead fish" - appetizing
Sago Worms - yes...
Cod tongues - popular in Canada - the cheeks too.
Blood pudding - blood, fat and offal - Yummy
Dulse - dried purple seaweed - very healthy if you can get it down
Tempeh - who knew it was made from fermented moldy soy beans
Marmite - same as vegemite - made from yeast extract
Ambuyat - actually boiled sawdust from a Sago Palm
Jellied Eels - who said the Brits can't cook
Baalut - "the treat with feet" bury a fertilized egg in the ground for a few weeks - then eat.
yes - my stomach turned.
Want to add anything to the list? |

The seaweed doesn't sound bad.
And I've eaten Vegemite. It's pretty horrid, but you can choke it down if you have to. At least it's not made from some kind of body part.

What kind of Philidelphian are you pretending to be????
If you use Habberstadt, then it isn't so bad. Habberstadt is the only and bestest brand of scrapple. The others are bad, real bad.

Dulse and Marmite aren't that bad. I shake dulse flakes into soups, and chili when I think of it (the taste is a bit strong). Once in a while I like Marmite on toast, and I sometimes use a bit of it to add flavor to gravy.
You all know that the black wrapping around sushi is dried sea weed, right?

Sushi is fine, but every now and then I do gag on the wrapping. And I like seaweed salad - just not dried. |

Pickled pigs feed and headcheese. My dad used to eat both of them.

Chitlins.
Tripe.
Menudo (tripe soup)
And for real life food gross-outs, watch a kid eat. Honey's little cousin in Ohio (9 now) eats the following for lunch: Olive Loaf Sandwich on White with Jelley and Mustard, dipped in a vanilla pudding cup. |

One of DH's friends once persuaded his 4 year old nephew to eat June Bug shells. (cicadas) He told him they were "Rice Crispy Bugs".

My first thought was Rocky Mountain Oysters. Some things are just not meant to be eaten.
The thoughts of cow brains and scrambled eggs just about does me in. Check out the first item on the menu list.

I tried to make dishes from a Scottish recipe book once. Sheep Head Stew started off with the directions, "First, line the pan with the brains of the sheep." That was it for me.

I agree. Anything made with a sheep's head. There was an Iranian Jewish family living in Edmonton, and the patriarch of the family came inot the kosher butcher shop where I was helping out. He asked for "a big bucket of sheep's eyes". 
My rule is 'eyes do not belong on my plate'. I do not wish to eat something which is looking at me, even if it is dead or has its eyes closed. When I was in Japan, we were entertained by the mayor of our city's sister city. We had a formal banquet with all sorts of city officials, and were told to be on our best behaviour. (Apparently the wind ensemble director forgot that we had percussionists, but that's a different story). We were served a tray of various things, and a small bowl of noodles was one of the things on our tray. I grabbed a big bite with my chopsticks and headed right toward my mouth - until I noticed that they had eyes, and gills. Did you ever wonder just how many weird things with eyes you can hide in the bo | |
