    I used to love to order the snails at a restaurant. One day, I thought that I was clever enough to try and cook them myself at home. Not a good idea as it turns out - after the first absolutely revolting bite, I promptly threw everything up and never touched snails again!

    i lived the in arctic for a year. It is important, very important to remember in the arctic they don't have trees, so no wood to burn for fire. all the foods listed below are raw. RAW. I ate alot of things that were odd. beluga muktuk (meat) not good. raw scallops, very sweet. raw caribou sandwich, really good. dried seal intestine jerky: really really good! etc. the worst thing i ate was seal. it is red meat that is the greasiest thing ever and tastes like rotten fish. that is a big nope. and I had to leave a community feast when they rolled out the centre piece to the meal: a complete seal that had been buried in the permafrost for 6 months or so. it was green. and slimey. like legit slime strings on the knife as they were carving it up. I had to leave.

She doesn't answer but I wanted some, so I took it out and ate it. It was super salty tho and my mom turns around and asked me why I ate the playdoh.....

(going back thousands of years originating in Iran.) it's breakfast food and it's so popular here in Iran that you have to wake up around 4am and stand in line before they're all gone!!

    I don't like hot dogs and not a big fan of chicken nugget(that's what their called right? the chickeny circle things?) I think they both taste like encased mashed goo... Leave me with some kimbap and rice and I'm good. Thats my opinion though, if you like these things it doesnt make you gross, I just dont like them.

    As soon as I saw this subject, I knew what I had to post. Back in the 80s, my hubby and I spent about 6 weeks in Florida every year working with the Florida Dept. of Fish and Game, and other volunteers, to do a count of how many manatees were in Crystal River Florida each year, both from the air and on the water. Jimmy Buffett is a good friend of ours from all the years he was there, without fail, to do PSAs (Public Service Announcements) and a benefit. One of the local restaurants in Homosassa Springs put on a terrific buffet for everyone we looked forward to every year. I LOVE oriental food, especially noodles and veggies and I was thrilled at the selection. I had filled my plate with what I thought was vegetable tempura. It tasted a little "off" but figured it was the seasoning. Jimmy comes over and says "Dammit Weezie, you sure love that s***!" I had just chop-sticked some into my mouth...then I saw the sucker...it was calamari. With the breading, I couldn't tell...My face must have turned five shades of red. I almost didn't make it to the restroom. My delicious (squid notwithstanding) lunch was flushed. I have ten-years worth of amazing stories, both terrific and ridiculous (including dealing with amateur snorkelers who don't follow the rules) but this was definitely the GROSSEST thing I have ever eaten. Would have rather had a "Cheeseburger in Paradise!" :-)

    Andouillette is a typical French dish, consisting of the intestines of pigs (historically it was made with intestines of cattle). It looks like an ordinary white sausage and can be found on menu’s throughout France, proving to be a menace to unsuspecting tourists. It tastes like sausage filled with s**t, literally. And it’s the most horrible thing I’ve ever eaten.

On the other hand I find Blutwurst und Zungenwurst (Sausages made from blood or tongues) disgusting.
