Nastiest thing you've ever eaten?

LOL......that is absolutely grose...

 

Duck egg...its was salty and preserved...I didn't eat the whole thing, but tried it, and it was just plain gross.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot the tablespoon of tobasco mixed in. UGH

 

i am a pretty adventurous eater, and have travelled extensively, so have been exposed to some pretty wacky stuff. most of the time once you get over the initial look of whatever it is, it actually tastes fine, eg goats brain curry, or '100year old egg', or tripe, or that weird rotten salmon thing they serve in norway, or blue corn fungus tacos, or snake etc.

but here are the things that i found truly disgusting, so far:
sea cucumber
durian
snail eggs

another thing i have noticed, although it hasnt happened too often....but if you are really hungry...you will eat just about anything, and i mean anything....

and this explains one of those great mysteries....who ate some of this stuff first and told the rest of the tribe that it was ok? like oysters? or caviar? or lobster/crab insides etc.....whoever it was, that guy was really really hungry.

 

Pick one: pickled chicken feet, drunk chicken (drunk shrimp are good), duck tounge, tripe, sea cucumber, roast donkey, snake skin diced with celantro, seven testicle soup, salmon sperm, maotai (probably the worst tasting alcoholic drink anywhere), etc...

I've passed on the scorpions, bird hatchlings (raw), deer penis, snake bladder (Chinese Viagra), stir fried bumble bees, civet cat (hello SARS!!!) and a few other things.

 

yeah, he wins. Unless Nibs can beat that, its got to be the winner!

 

In Japan I had sea cucumber, I just remember it tasting like sushi - no particularly bad taste.

Soul- How about balute (hard-boiled duck fetus)? I had one once, very musty, meaty flavor kinda like bone marrow. The hardest part is chewing up the little webbed feet and the beak.

 

Silly me, I was just gonna say octopus. That **** SOUNDS so bad I'm ready to do an Impala (w/o eating it).

 

Some of these are disgusting, but for me Jellied eel was the worst, i just typed that looked to see it was correct and nearly puked, i will never forget it

 

Sand covered baked ham with fake grill marks on it, from a MRE.

 

Northern italians have this staple called polenta (corn-based mush). I ate the southern-italian version of that mush, they boil pig fat/lard and mix it in. Needless to say, I was sick for 4 days.

Although this doesn't compare to the delicacies that Eric (Judge4re) has at his disposal.

 

OK. Who here has earned their Red Wings??

 

J.H.C.? I'm looking in your direction.... Surely you've tasted Rasberry Mai Pie?

 

That's just WRONG!

DL

 

Yes, I have, but I won't eat the futus or the white portion.
I remember on FearFactor, the contestants were given balut and seeing them chowing all of it down looks bad enough.

 

Dog pizza in Saigon. No pepperoni available so bow-wow got used. there wasnt a propensity of dogs or cats over there as one may well imagine. the mess sgt sold all of the garbage to a local guy who inturn sold it downtown. i saw him GI can diving by the mess tent one day. he reached into this slop and fished around and came up with a very old green hot dog. he wolfed that baby right down then proceded to lick his fingers. the whole country was starving it seemed.

 

OK, not as bad as eating one's own vomit, but nasty nonetheless:

Cow's foot in a Jamaican roadside "restaurant". Stuck with the jerk chicken after that.

 

i don't think i can match Chris' regurgitation story, but i can't think of a way to tell my own story without earning at least a one day ban... Even if i used all the politically correct words and phrases, i'd still offend quite a few people and my post would undoubtedly be reported...

 

Mate you cant leave it at that, what was it?? come on tell.

 

yeah, we eat as much of that as we drink fosters. and i fergot her name too, but dam she was nasty... perhaps we picked up the same chick?

oh that eating your own puke story... someone had to go ahead and show me a video going around on email last year of some frat party where a blotto dude puked all chunky like in his own pint glass, then drank it, then puked again... etc until some angry girlfriend-looking chick burst onto the scene.

i get a lump in the throat (not the free-willy-escapes type) every time i think about that.

 

Since im super duper picky, ive luckily avoided eating any thing truly nasty.

 

Along the lines of FarmerDave's story - this did not happen to me, but to some friends of mine.

This couple was leaving on a trip to Mexico with another couple. They had heard about Airborne and bought some to take along so they could load up on Vitamin C and whatever else they put in it. They met the other couple at the airport. It turns out that 1 of them is terribly sick with cold/flu symptoms. My friend remembers the Airborne that is in her purse, so she pulls out two tablets, gives 1 to her husband, and they both pop them in their mouths.

For those of you that are not familiar with Airborne, it is an effervescent, similar to Alka-Seltzer. You are supposed to dissolve it in water and drink it.

She said, "I knew something was wrong when it felt like my sinuses were on fire and there was foam coming out of Nick's mouth". The plus was that it acted like a stimulant, so they were REALLY awake for the rest of the day, even after getting to the airport for a 5:00 am flight.

Yes, she is blonde.

 

haha. my ex did that too, don't remember what it was, but some effervescent tablet designed to make water all carbonated like. i handed it to her with a glass of water, she popped the tablet in her mouth and took a drink of water.

i just looked at her wide-eyed and waiting, and within seconds she was foaming at the mouth and spoke in garbles. if i didn't think it was somewhat dangerous i would have laughed my tits off.

yes again.

 

I completely forgot about participating in The Habanero Challenge (yes, the brainchild of bored 20yr old guys)... ate a whole fresh orange habanero and had to swallow it without drinking anything to rinse it down - and as soon as the acid hits your mouth it goes dry.

The pain was exquisite, and more intense than breaking a bone. It was an immediate acidic burning all the way down the mouth and stomach and explosive pressure through my head, sinuses and eardrums. Like putting a pressure washer loaded with bleach into your mouth and blasting it. Think of the chemical burn feeling of wasabi mustard times one hundred.

You get punished again 4-6 hours later.

 

"Pull an Impala" - heh. Mmmmmm - that was regurgitasty. Since the "winner" is already determined, it's all downhill from here, so...

Okra. Just can't stomach whatever awful method renders Okra into a gag reflex.

BUT, I LOVE Gumbo, which by definition, means Okra. Go figure, huh?

Man, I've lived a sheltered life.
