I have the same problem with dares - it's led me to eat a fishes eye (so gross when it bursts in your mouth). But that was mainly mental - the grossest things were tripe in a township in South Africa and toad in Beijing. Just typing out toad made me gag a bit again. Vile. Taking a massive swig of milk out of the fridge when I was a kid that was all lumpy because it had gone off wasn't nice either. |

This was after one of my invertebrate biology dissection labs where we had a big plastic bin of various kinds of cockroaches that we had to catch by hand and then take to our lab area to dissect. Well, one of the Wil.E.Coyote geeeeeniuses decided to put down a dare that if anyone ate one of the roaches from the bin he'd pay for drinks for the rest of the semester. I was drunk from September until Xmas. |

Originally posted by kevin_trapp Originally posted by switch Here's how you can make your own approximation. Start with a piece of cardboard, add a mixture of ketchup and way too much oregano for the sauce, then cover it with watered down velveeta. Make sure you burn the cardboard just a little bit when you're cooking it. Then, for some reason that is beyond me, cut the round pizza into squares. I guess to make it look as bad as it tastes? Keep in mind that this will actually taste better than a real STL pizza, since the cardboard is an improvement over the unleavened dough they use for a crust. But if you're ever in the Lou and want to give a try, first slice...I mean square...is on me. At least we have some phenomenal microbreweries to help wash the taste out of your mouth. Originally posted by Kido Now I have to try St. Louis pizza. Originally posted by kevin_trapp If I was to just think about the ingredients, rocky mountain oysters. But quite frankly, they were delicious. It's a toss up between tripe and St. Louis style pizza (provel is not a f'ing cheese!). Them's fighting words. STL style pizza is as bad as tripe? No way. That's one of the worlds best things compared to one of the worse. STL pizza is amazing (and I'm not saying that because I grew up there). I can't recall eating anything really gross. Maybe inhaled a bug or two on a ride or swallowed some spoiled milk or something. My wife however, got excited to try new things during our trip to Japan and loaded her plate with natto. I knew what it was and thought her crazy, but I also thought SHE knew what it was since she took so much. She doesn't mind a lot of the crazy asian food, so I thought "more power to you". But when she took that first bite, and I saw the panic and tears from in her eyes? I laughed and laughed... I might need to try natto too. I have a feeling that I'll be in St.Louis sometime in the next year, and I'm gonna take you up on this very generous offer. I may see if I can get LB to hook me up with a pig snoot sami in the same trip;) |

Not all are that way. I can't believe the goldfish shots hasn't been brought up, or the worm in the bottom of some of the older Tequila bottles. |

Woah. Woah, woah, woah. I don't know if it's the pic, or what, but, Monica, you may have to share your title. What does Balut taste like? |

Member 1293 Pearland,Tx | Subject: RE: What's the grossest thing you've eaten--intentionally or unintentionally? Balut its hard to describe , its just like eating soft steamed bird meat a little bit salty. I eat it first by pinching a small hole in the egg slurping the embryonic fluid inside which tastes like beef soup, then you go off the whole thing a third at a time. I dont look at it. You grow up into it and got used to it. Then again i never looked for it in 10 years the taste is something not to crave for. |

Master 3127 Sunny Southern Cal | Subject: RE: What's the grossest thing you've eaten--intentionally or unintentionally? This would have to be my Thanksgiving appetizer once. There was a trashcan to the side of the house with miscellaneous vegetation that had also filled with some rainwater runoff from the roof, and had been sitting there for a while (days, weeks, ???). I decided that afternoon I was going to siphon it. Why siphon it? Beats the *#&$ out of me. It was a comedy of dumb decisions. Put the garden hose in there and took a draw of air from the other end to get things started. Yeah, you know where this is going. Straight into the stomach. Oh god. Took me about an hour to finally throw that stuff up. Wasn't hungry for Thanksgiving dinner after that. |

I was gagging while reading most of the thread but that one I puked a little in my mouth. I've done the spoiled milk thing. Canned asparagus is on my list of the grossest things ever but the other day I ate lunch at my MIL's and she covered it with Velveeta cheese. I could barely finish my lunch after a bite of that. And one time my aunt had family over for brunch. She made this egg casserole, the thought of it still makes me queezy. A whole pan of sliced hard boiled eggs mixed up with mayo, sour cream and cream of mushroom soup. |

Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: What's the grossest thing you've eaten--intentionally or unintentionally? Unintentional: last night at my dad's I saw what I thought was a grape-flavored gum drop. Nope, it was black licorice. Blech. Ick. Intentional: sounds gross but was actually good: Live termites fresh from the tree in Costa Rica. I know that comes nowhere close to Balut, I just needed to vent my disgust at black licorice. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: What's the grossest thing you've eaten--intentionally or unintentionally? I'm kind of a picky eater, and I travel a lot, and lived a long time in China, where pretty much everything is eaten, so I've eaten a lot of things that were gross in my opinion. But the worst one I can recall was pig ears. It was a social situation, I had to eat them to be polite to my hosts, and they just kept on coming. That evening seemed to go on forever, as I got more and more nauseous. I'm not sure it was the actual pig ears, or just the thought of what I was eating (I almost never eat any pork, much less the ears). I barely made it out the door before I puked. Normally I have an iron stomach, despite my pickiness, and can pretty much gag down anything to be polite. I can even drink rancid yak butter tea with elderly Tibetan lamas. But this is the one time (when not actually ill) that I just couldn't keep it down. I was also forced to try scorpion (another social situation) but as soon as it got on my tongue my mouth began to swell up and I broke out in hives, so I wisely spit it out. My hosts thankfully relented in the face of possibly sending me into anaphlytic (sp/?) shock. It's the only time I've been grateful for an allergy. Never done that again. Then there was the dog incident. When I was studying in the northeast of China, a little family-run Korean place that we students liked to eat at gave us a couple of free dishes at our last meal there as a kind of send-off party. They didn't tell us what they were; I thought it was slightly tough beef in the hotpot. It was dog. I didn't puke.....would have if it had been cat, probably. Another pretty gross one, but this one was self-inflicted. I tried Chinese caterpillar fungus when someone gave me some as a gift when I lived in China. Crazy but I tried to do a controlled experiment on myself to see if it was a performance aid (rumors were the Chinese distance runners used it). All I can say is it looks and tastes disgusting, and I ran almost exactly the same in the two 3K time trials I set up. Epic fail as both soup addition and performance-enhancing drug.

HotRunner up there is being modest. I can get started with Disgusting Chinese/Asian Delicacies that my BALUT is not even a hairline close, There are Chinese Delicacies that the ASPCA will raise Hell!!! and Heaven!!! then Back to Hell!!.
