Describe the most disgusting thing that you ate recently...

**Zhen** · 05-30-2012, 11:07 PM

Mine would be Atlantic Kelp powder. I wish someone had forewarned me what it tasted like so that I wouldn't have been curious enough to try it.

For what it's worth the taste was how I imagine eating a small fish washed up from the ocean and rotting on the sand hovered over by flies for several days might have tasted like, uncooked.

So at least you can make an informed decision if ever presented with this dietary option in future...

your turn!

I ordered some dumplings at a restaurant...they were decent. Then when I was almost done eating them, I noticed a lump at the bottom of the soup. I turns out I had ordered the brain dish...I had just seen the characters for "pork dumpling" and ignored the rest. The character for 'brain' was right there. That's an entire class of characters with the moon radical (signifying internal organs) that I should know to avoid by now.

I didn't eat it.

Not recently, but: Tripe.

I can only imagine what sort of desperation or dare would prompt someone to say "Hmmm, that cows stomach lining sure does look yummy."

**Distance** · 05-30-2012, 11:39 PM

Haven't eaten anything disgusting for years. If it doesn't smell good, won't touch it. My nose is pretty sensitive.

But the most disgusting thing ever eaten was sea cucumber. The texture is like rubberised fat and the flavour, fishy rubber.

i think the kelp powder beats all of those DISGUSTING TASTE wise. texture wise...yeah some entrails are pretty bad. I saw my uncle eat a fish eyeball before...that takes guts! and something I definitely would not do even for a good bribe!

and that filipino delicacy of the baby chicken (with beak) in the egg....absolutely no way.

I ate at a mexican restaurant a few nights ago. I was looking over the menu, and I noticed the 'Chicken Pipian (which is essentially a chicken on some cooked vegetables covered in ground up pumpkin seeds).' I looked at it and thought to myself "Well, something so outlandish couldn't possibly be a normal dish; It must be the cook's specialty, and be much more delicious than its name suggests."

It wasn't.

It was just a burnt chicken on burnt vegetables covered in burnt (and Cuisinart-ed) pumpkin seeds.

I ended up leaving the restaurant and walking back to my home to eat some leftover casserole. On the other hand, I didn't have to pitch in for the bill, so I suppose that there is a bright side to it.

**Elena** · 05-31-2012, 12:03 AM

Cow tongue, the texture, smell, everything was awful. Closely followed by sheep eyes. I don't mind fish eyes, maybe its a size thing.

**Kisai** · 05-31-2012, 12:10 AM

I like cow tounge. Except for the texture that reminds me I'm eating a tounge. It's quite savory.

Haven't had any eyes, sea cucumber, kelp powder, baby-chick-in-egg, or brain yet.

I think the most disgusting thing I've eaten is bitter melon. Its a squash in Thailand that's supposed to be 'healthy' for you. A broth made from its soup and flavored with pork is good. The vegtable itself has the flavor of raw zucchini skin permeating its flesh.

**JulietCapulet** · 05-31-2012, 12:12 AM

A slightly old avocado.

The taste itself is not bad, I think knowing I am eating a tounge just creeps me out for some reason.

**Distance** · 05-31-2012, 12:18 AM

Zhen, can we include things other people might find disgusting but we enjoy?

**MechanicalSun** · 05-31-2012, 12:52 AM

Marzipan chocolate.

**Loneliness** · 05-31-2012, 01:01 AM

Potato pancakes. Those were soo greasy, not to mention the smell..

I had just been thinking that...like I LOOOOOVE that Ricola swiss candy (which are actually cough drops) we can't get here but I get brought in from overseas....anyway my american friend thinks its hilarious that I regard medicinal cough drops as the most delicious candy I ever tasted...

I sent my Canadian friend Vegemite (which I like) and she said that was the most disgusting thing ever...

**Fawn** · 05-31-2012, 06:04 AM

I have not eaten anything disgusting in a minute.

I am going to make vegetable juice in a little bit and I am excited (:

**Oros Ull** · 05-31-2012, 06:06 AM

I was with some people I just met and I thought it would be funny to eat a caterpillar and freak them out.

It was gross and it made my tong go numb. It tasted like rotting plant matter.

It was really funny though.

Ummmm. Ew. ^^^ but funny, yes.

Worst thing I ever ate was beaver tail (no bad jokes please) tasted like wild game soaked in musty pond water...oh wait, that's what it is.

Agree on sea cucumber, absolutely disgusting.

Agree on the Filipino chicken egg thing too.

Oh, I'm Native from the NW Coast and the absolutely most disgusting delicacy we eat is called oolichan oil.....basically you corrall thousands of herring into a pen, let them die, their natural oils float to the top of the water as they decay, skim the oil. Sprinkle liberally on your food. SO GROSS.

Well that was a slap in the face...

And I like durian.

I'd be careful if I were you. This guy recently ate a snail or a slug for a dare and he got some weird parasitic infection which I think was eating his brain...cos I think he is all brain damaged now.

wow that is probably very similar to atlantic kelp powder taste then...that's pretty interesting I'm quite a foodie and that's the first I've heard of it!
