Strangest/Most Disgusting Food you've tasted/heard of

Congee in Dog's Intestine

you eat the congee by sucking it out of the dog's intestine

the food is prepared by starving a dog for 3 days and having it eat the congee

then the dog is butchered, probably after it has eaten the congee, and then the intestine containing the congee is served

i heard that it's a delicacy from somewhere in Ilocos, northern part of the Philippines


the first time i've heard of it, it's a little hard to believe, but i'm the type of person who keeps an open mind... yet having listen to the same story from a different unrelated person afterwards should be enough to make me believe in it

Balut sounds pretty weird to me. It's a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. I don't think I could get past the visual of the food to eat it. Look it up in Wikipedia if you want to see pictures.

Weird stuff I've actually eaten myself

pig's blood
tripe, intestines
cow brains (waaay back when, b4 the mad cow stuff)
taco bell (the most dangerous one of all)

Eh.. ive had snake / rat wine in china

Its Chinese Rice wine whre they put dead rats or snake inside of and kinda just wait for a few years.. shit was expensive

Any kind of sea-food makes me sick.
Unless it's deep fried at Long John Silvers.

Carrot Cake, probably packaged too

i've heard of it from someone who regularly posts in a subbed anime distributor shoutbox

when it's carrot cake, it sounds like potato cake, radish cake or sweet potato cake

never had one... i was thinking that its carrots were mixed into the dough... or maybe more like carrot juice into the dough
so the cake would be pale pinkish-orange


oh, most of the foods presented in a number of food/cooking mangas are strange

like, you could actually make bread using a rice cooker instead of an oven

Eh, Ive never seen hundred year old eggs.. They're called thousand year old in chinese lol

i think i've eaten one of those before

i got a taste from my half-Chinese friend

he said that it may be a delicacy around here but in China, it's common food

it was a little sweet and creamy, and it's kinda like a side dish like mashed potatoes in gravy



back then, i always thought that meat have to be eaten cooked...

but then there was fish sushi and sashimi

and then i had some raw meat for breakfast...
i think they were German breakfast meals

but if you think about it, hamburgers used to be salted raw pork without the buns

The century eggs aren't really aged for that long, so no worries =). It usually takes only a few weeks to pickle the egg. It's also an acquired taste as the yolk can have a pretty strong flavor. It's good in preserved duck egg and pork congee. I'd definitely prefer that congee over the one mentioned by Jonsmth in the first post.

I've never tried or wanted to try steak tartare.

raw instant noodles

it's snack food meant to be eaten raw, but i prefer chips to this since this one requires a little preparation after opening the package

snack foods like chips have to be easy to prepare, right?

I love it raw too, those mama noodles I would crush the noodle into pieces and pour the flavoring in the back and shake shake shake. Ready to eat. :shock:

lol mama raw noodles are awesome, i eat them for snacks :)

Reminds me of a cup noodles competition I saw at Anime expo where people jsut tore open instant noodle packs and bi tinto the noodle thing then had to swallow the seasoning packets lol

talk about efficiency and practicality :lol:

maybe we'll have liquified fried chicken paste in tubes


that reminds me, i see a lot of weird packaged stuff in anime

i bet somewhere out there, they sell curry sauce in vending machines

i think we all can top that. how many of you have eaten pizza at a restaurant. i'll tell more after i get some anwser.

besides that people that know think drinking hot cocoa with peanutbutter in it is pretty gross, but actually its quite tasty.
