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

Escamoles are actually pretty tasty, according to my mum. It's the season for 'em right now, I think.

yeah balut is the grossest one ive heard about.

a rat (alive)...swallow the whole thing, sound nasty but surprisingly tasty

anything from a McDonalds menu

Umm these are things i LIKE that are weird

Grapes in spaghetti sauce i found this out when visiting my grandfather and a grape fell in my spaghetti

Pickle brine is REALLY tatsy to me as is olive brine yet oddly enough water makes me sick(and don't bring up maybe it's not clean i live in alalska and we supposedly ahve some of the best water anywhere)

I like pickles and vanilla ice cream discovered this after eating some pickles than eating ice cream and belching and the tastes blended

while i've never had this for some reason the thought of a sea cucumber makes my mouth water.

Oohh and several day old yakisoba (with chicken beef shrimo and veggies) and i don't get sick oh and no refrigerating i'd say that's kinda strange asame go's for oyaka don (chickena nd egg bowl) again don't get sick and the fact that it's been out for sveeral days may amke it foit in here

and while i doubt this belongs her it MA disgust some my staple drink is soda.

Oh yeah and i've also eaten food off my floor bear in min taht my dogs use this very same floor as their can so that kina makes it fit LOL.

Pig blood in all honesty is not that bad.

I can't imagine eating balut.

Hmm you mentioned balut before I could. But I agree Balut would be nasty.
Balut is a Vietnamese / Phillipino dish and is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside.

sheep eyes , sheep brain, i think theres a place that serves pigs anus

The Balut@duck eggs are actually quite delicious, the bones aren't hard nor the beak(mouth). I guess that most people aren't really that open minded about food dishes.

And snake blood wine is just awesome :3

O_o there is snake blood wine?

I suppose another odd food would be tarantula egg omelets, which are served in some South American countries.

I forgot to mention that for some reason rotting raw beef just makes me wannta chew righ in have yet to do do but boy will it be good if i do( as stated in anther topic i can taste by scent so i know it will be good) But yeah just smelling that makes my mouth water something fierce.

i concur.
and RAW bull testicle.

I'm eating that right now, I didn't know people were so disgusted by it.

It's really delicious, I guess you can rationalize eating it if you don't eat the bird part(the bluish are) and only eat the yellow egg parts(Fucking good eats).

lol, a little defensive now?

Has anyone mentioned rats as a strange / disgusting food? The North Koreans and Chinese eat them though.

Cooked or raw, and what country do they eat this in?

Balut is very delicious^^

Want me to post me eating balut?

Indeed it is, although I've grown tired of it, my mother sent me 2 dozens 2 weeks ago. My aunt another dozen last week. And I just got some from my uncle 5 days ago(2 trays = about 3 dozens). I eventually just stopped eating the bird part altogether and went for the good stuff.

I understand that several ethnic dishes would be vomit inducing however for me I truly will try anything once. So be it:
menudo

brains n' eggs

or something as simple as liver n' onions
What "unique" dishes have you tried, if any?
