Maggot. Tenth grade chemistry - we got 1 point on our final average for that.

Goldfish. Same class. Three points on our average, and an additional 2 if we chewed.

Potatoes/water in a blender. Same class. 2 bonus points on average. The lesson was that the enzymes in it makes it almost impossible not to hurl.

Our teacher was a sick dude, but the best teacher I've ever had.

Okay, I've had eel and sea snails before but they were both quite tasty.

Nastiest stuff I've ever had must have been over-aged tofu, the stuff stinks to high heaven.

oh and I almost forgot: grape nuts

Wierd things I eat regularly:
Sushi, eel and snail is a weekly occurence for me.
Fish eyes, beef tripe, grilled octopus
Sea urchin, wasabi tobiko (flying fish eggs marinated in wasabi).
Oysters on the half shell.


Fish intestine, however, is not part of my normal bill of fare. I thought it was squid, but it was waay too soft. Someone told me what it was two days after, and I didn't feel too good.

I would try Rocky Mountain Oysters, if the opportunity arose.

a green olive...eewww... it was some years ago, my mom knew I hated them and offered me a (whole!!) dollar to eat one. I couldn't do it, not even for a (whole!!) dollar... I spit it out.

Well, a few months ago, in the heat of the summer, a spider felt is was his duty to attempt to wrap me up as a meal. In his attempt, I smashed him as he had been at it for some time, and I was growing tired of the webbing on my crew cut head. Once smashed, I gave an evil laugh...then ate him.

Mountain Oysters i.e. cow balls - they are actually very good.

I spent some time traveling throughout Asia and had some particularly weird stuff including fish head soup, pig heart, boiled fat, marinated bugs of some sort, dog and cat(though I did not know it at the time) and I drank snake blood directly from a snake that had been slit down the middle. These were just the some of the highlights. I primarily stayed with familes, and ate whatever they served. The snake was on a dare.

Frankly, I will try anything once, and have had the opportunity to try many, many things.

Carrots. Honest to god, every time I try to eat a carrot it makes me gag. I can't think of anything else that I just can't eat.

I tried Beefaroni as a kid. Fuggin nasty!

Also, accidently swallowed a fly.

Guinea pig. While visiting a friend's home in Peru, her mom prepared a feast. The cuy (coo-e) tasted like...guinea pig.

Pizza....in the UK...never again. bleh

Haring, it's salty raw fish. It's quite nice (weird Dutchman).

I would have to say baby squid it was pretty gross

i have to admit weird and gross food happens mostly to pregnant women and their significant other(sorry for the sympathy cravings guys) ! but my most disgusting craving came when i was pregnant with my last child. I have never had sardines but that day i wanted some so... i mixed chocolate ice cream, sardines and ranch dressing!! thinking about it now makes me sick, then it was awesome!! i tg i cant get pregnant anymore because of the craving factor!!

I am a sushi/sashimi junky, and have tried alittle bit of everything, but I would have to say the worst thing I have ever tried is squid jerky...WTF!

Yeah, I tried that while in Renosa, Mexico. I thought it was way too greasy for me.

When I was a kid I had Rocky Mountain Oysters. I loved fried oysters so I was eating them like crazy until someone told me what they really were.

I read some trivia that said the average person eats 8 spiders in their lifetime. They are supposed to crawl in your mouth while you're sleeping. Now, how in the hell did they figure that one out!

... moist towelette from KFC......

Sea Urchin...a most vomitous experience!

2 things I sampled... didn't find them gross, but when I recount to others they find it quite gross... so...
Balut *smile* quite good actually...
Monkey brain... also quite good.

i have eaten chocolate covered crickets, and chocolate covered mealworms... also the worm in a bottle of tequila

I agree with Mr. Moe, I have eaten a lot of weird animals when I visited Australia (emu, gator, etc) and other places, octopus, squid, tons of sushi, but raw Sea Urchin just blew me away. I mean, hands down, the vilest thing I have ever tasted. I don't throw up, ever, but after sea urchin was the closest I've come in 10 years. It was in a traditional japanese restaurant. This is disgusting in terms of taste and texture, not social connotations, of course.

In camp they had these fishing bait vending machines and some kid was buying buckets of nightcrawlers to throw at people. As a slightly off, 13 year old I took a bet to eat as many as I could for 20$. I think I ended up doing about 5 nightcrawlers before I gagged.

OK,
Uni (sea urchin roe) is perhaps the nastiest thing I have ever eaten. It smells like low tide, has the consistency of baby shit, tastes like naugahide marinated in swamp water with a Ty-d-bowl puck. And the best part is, once you choke down the uni and rinse it with the suchi rice, there's this loop of sushi nori soaked in essence of uni stuck to the roof of your mouth like a piece of electrical tape used to trim Roseanne's bikini line. Absolutely foul.

Tobiko, however, is good stuff. Same with Eel (but I think I'll skip the whole one - fish bones don't make it in my book. Like eating an eyebrow.) I also had a concotion of sushi rice, chopped scallops, scallion, smelt roe and mayonnaise that tasted very much like blackberry ice cream.

Strangest cut of meat I ever had was Calf's Thyroid: Sweetbreads. Texture of a liver souffle, taste of veal lightly dusted with malt sugar. Good stuff.

Finally, the oddest thing I ever ate was a mouthful of naugahyde and foam rubber; Someone said a couch was eating me, so I retaliated.

Chicken feet. Tame compared to some others, but some people think it's weird. Actually not too bad, my sister loves them.

I have eaten many things that i didnt know what was.

One thing i did know was octopus prepared in its own ink, served with spaghetti rice and bread. It was very good...if somewhat monochrome. :D

One of my favorite dishes is called "Øllebrød" (directly translated: "Beerbread) It is made by taking some bread, preferably Dark Rye Bread, and soak it in beer or a mix of beer and water. When the bread is almost totally disolved in the beer, you boil it and get a porridge like substance that is then sweetened with sugar. It is served with either milk, cream or my favorite; whipped cream . :D

hahaha that's hilarious man. What did they say when you did that?

goat in goat blood soup

I've had them. I don't care much for them; there's no meat.

So is being pregnant like being stoned?!?!

does toenail count as food?

Escargot

When I was teaching one of the students in our school was actually form China. His parents could not speak much English but he could fairly well. He was about 7 years old so couldn't do that much interpreting for them yet. They were taking classes to learn at least. They owned a Chinese restaurant downtown and invited us the other teacher, myself, and hubby to join them for their Chinese New Year Celebration. It was an amazing evening. Only one adult there could speak much English and there were about 30 of them. We had traditional Chinese foods not the "American Chinese" food that they normally served in the restaurant. There were big trays of seaweed and whole fish, shrimp whole (eyes and everything) a Dumpling/fish soup, Sushi with their "hot" sauce, escargo, and some things that I still don't know what it was. The woman who could speak english explained a lot about the dishes and translated the names where she could. There were a couple dishes that had no English translation. The dumpling soup was special. They served that at new years and would try to serve the dumpling in it (only one) to the youngest member of the family because tradition said that whoever got the dumpling would have good luck in the new year. There was one dish that was "desert". It looked much like eyeballs floating in clear syrup without the irises. In other words smooth white eyeball sized balls floating in a sweet syrup that looked like the syrup that canned pears come in. It was EXTREMELY sweet and the balls were kindof the texture of liver, if you know what I mean. The woman could not translate this dish at all so I have no idea what it was. I loved it and ate it all. In fact I didn't turn down anything they gave me - which was everything. I was so stuffed. They were so eager for me to try all that they had made. To be immersed in that environment - surrounded by the foods, and the people, and the language - Not knowing fully everything that was going on and getting just a taste of it all - It was an amazing experience. When we walked out it seemed like we were stepping out of a dream or coming back from another country. It was strange and wonderful. I can hardly imagine what it must be like to actually MOVE to another country like that. That was the strangest experience with food that I have had.

Other than that I have helped to kill and butcher, chicken, sheep, rabbit, deer, and pheasant - all of which I've eaten. Some people I suppose could not stand eating what they've seen walking around. Maybe I sound perverted but when I was 16 after butchering the sheep I chased my little brother around the kitchen with the washed heart in my hands squirting water at him with it. Later we ate it. Wierd enough?

I think the weirdest things I've eaten are probably things I have no idea I've eaten. I would imagine I've consumed a reasonable amount of roach shit and bugs just due to the vast number of times I've eaten out in my life. There's probably some domestic animal thrown in there too. Nasty just to think about it which is why I try not to. :p

I've eaten cow mammaries, and as far as I can remember, they weren't that bad.

i was waiting for this one. You know, maybe we dated the same girl. . .

The grossest thing I've ever eaten is a toss up between either a chocolate covered cricket or undercooked meat. Yuck!

I once ate dirt when I was like 6 as part of a dare.

Living in china, does I don't know count?:)
by far the worst tasteing thing I've ever had in century egg/hundred year egg/thousand year egg
"eggs that have been preserved by being covered with a coating of lime, ashes and salt before being shallowly buried for 100 days. The lime "petrifies" the egg, making it look like it's been buried for at least a century. The black outer coating and shell are removed to reveal a firm, amber-colored white and creamy, dark green yolk. The flavor is pungent and cheeselike."
The way I'd descibe the taste is like eating sulfer. most horrid thing I've ever eaten, don't understand how my girlfriend can like it.
Just talked to my roomate (also in china obviosul;y) worst thing he's had would be waterbuffalo stomache, which he just had recently, said it was the consistancy of rubber, with a taste like cows smell.
Being where we are in china one of the local delicasy's is hawgou (spellings wrong, but hey)
basically hot pot, they throw shit into an oily spicy soup, and then serve it what they put in we don't know half the time.
what we do know: pig brains, river fish (any fish they pull outta the rivers here.. very very dirty rivers) several dozen different kinds of fungus (not mushrooms) and probably more I'm forgetting.

Chicken hearts, chicken feet, intestine lining, brussel sprouts, fish eyes, hippy pussy.

Sounds like you've been on FEAR FACTOR...

I don't remember eating too many weird things... maybe that time I was tricked into eating a cupcake with toothpaste frosting. I'm such a puss.

I ate a Lego astronaut once. I even pooped him out.
