What is the weirdest/grossest thing you've eaten?

The other day I was reminded of a story....A year ago, my boss/friend went to a farm and slaughtered his own lamb. He brought the body back to his deli and put it in the fridge. Cut off the lambs nads, and put them in a frying pan, and fried em up. He asked me if I wanted to try them and I figured why not since I've eaten tongue, brain, liver, kidneys, just about everything, so this is one more on my list. It didn't taste bad at all, it was actually pretty decent. Well my girlfriend came in and I told her there was a cake in the freezer so when she opened it she saw the dead carcass hanging there. She got pissed, so when I finally got her forgiveness I was going to give her a kiss and my boss yells "Don't kiss him, he just had balls in his mouth!!!"
That was pointless but I felt the need to tell it.
So yeah, anyways, I would say the weirdest thing I have eaten is lamb testicles. What about you?

I learnt on my trip to New Caledonia for a French trip at high school that lambs' testicles are considered something of a delicacy by the French. I passed.

Grossest thing I can think of off the top of my head was on that same trip. It was kind of a crosss between a pizza and a pancake, with 4 raw egg yolks on it. I threw it up.

horse shashimi and natto one meal

a writeup i stole:
Basashi (馬刺し, lit. "sliced horse") is frozen raw horse meat, sliced very thinly and served on a bed of ice, usually with some daikon shavings and a heavy dollop of garlic paste on the side. If you like sashimi and can overcome your prejudices, you will find that good basashi tastes as smooth and creamy as the best tuna belly. However, if the dish thaws too much, the tasty morsels will degenerate into stringy red strips that taste way too much like, well, raw horse meat.

Delicious in a traditional Japanese breakfast. This would usually be served with a bowl of plain white Japanese short grain rice, a bowl of miso shiru, some sheets of toasted nori, some Tsukemono (Japanese Pickles) or Kimchi and perhaps some grilled tofu or fish.

With the tips of your hashi (chopsticks), whip the natto about until it becomes lacy. Pick up a bit of rice with a sheet of nori and put a bit of natto on top. Close the nori and pop the package in your mouth.

Natto has a strong flavour, much like a Stilton or Roquefort cheese. If you find the flavour too potent, add some shoyu (soy sauce) and minced scallions. Also, the more that you whip it, the more that the ammonia element of the fragrance dissipates and the "sliminess" vanishes. The Nihon Hoso Kyokai (NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation) aired a special program on natto in late 1998 which said that mixing natto 424 times (don't ask) removes its "sliminess".

The beans which are used are soy. The fermentation process makes natto a rich source of vitamin B and other nutrients. It is thought to be effective in prevention of heart attacks, strokes and osteoporosis, as well as food poisoning and intestinal disorders. It can be heated but an enzyme called nattokinase, natto's blood clot dissolving agent, is destroyed at temperatures above 70 degrees C, so it is best eaten raw.


Balut with another meal.

another writeup i stole:
Balut is the name for an embryonic duck egg that is boiled and consumed. Considered a delicacy in its native Philippines and oft-celebrated by the Filipino diaspora, balut is unfortunately lampooned by many outsiders though some other cultures in Southeast Asia consider embryonic eggs a delicacy.

Making the balut

To produce balut, a duck farmer incubates fertilized eggs in layers of hay or rice husks insulated by burlap. After six days, the eggs are checked for embryonic development. Unfertilized eggs are culled and cured in brine while dead embryos are discarded. Slow-developing embryonic eggs are culled, boiled, and sold by the name of penoy. The remaining, healthy embryos are placed back in incubation. Those remaining healthy and alive at the two week mark are boiled and sold as balut.

Off to market

Much like an ice cream man, a balut vendor will take a cart of freshly boiled balut through neighborhoods at dusk, crying, "Balut! Balut! Penoy! Balut!" Wallets will open, money will exchange hands, and a lucky consumer will take a some warm balut back to his family or eat one on the spot.

Eating balut

Gently tap the bottom of the egg and peel off just a thumb's width to access the succulent and nutritious amniotic sac, adding salt to taste. Drink the amniotic fluid then continue to peel the shell and savor the balut.

According to my family, balut with just a hint of soft down is considered culinary perfection; that is when the embryonic duckling is at its most tender.



Mmm.. Mmm.. good

One day when I was in the Army. We were getting ready to deploy over to Saudi Arabia. We were all waiting in a hallway for a bus to come pick up. Well, someone had a bag of marshmellows to snack on, but he decided to start throwing them around at people... we had been there for about 2 hours so we were all bored so slinging marshmellows at each other seemed like a good distraction. 2 hours later we were still at it, but we were down to one marshmellow. I got bored and started reading a book.... In the next hour or so that marshmellow bounced off me about 5 more times. Well, finally it came skidding to a stop right by my foot. well, I picked it up and popped it in my mouth. It was covered with dirt and was pretty nasty. BUT I ate it. Everyone in the hallway just sat there stunned. They couldn't believe that I munched that marshmellow that had been thrown around for about 3 and a half hours.

as for me, when i was a tender young lad, i had an odd tendency to grab a nugget or two from the dogfood bowl and ingest it. no real reason, it certianly wasn't uber-tasty, it was just something i did. i probably wouldn't repeat this excecise for anything less than monetary recompense, but it did give me the opputunity to respond to queries such as this one

I try to stay away from things that are too gross and disgusting, but everyonce in a while my grandma slips crap in. I tell her just not to tell me so I dont get sick, so I dont know what it was exactly, but it was nasty.

oh ya and my dad got me to try oysters at the Outback, lets just say I like my oysters fried, not raw and right outta the shell. *shudder* Happy thoughts, pink bunnies, puffy clouds. . .

While in the service I was involved in a gross-out contest. I won when I slid my finger around the rim of the urinal, wiped the slime and hair on a urinal deoderant cake then took a bite out of the cake, chewed it and swallowed it. It wasn't to bad. The others didn't even try to top that they all figured if I would do that I would eat anything. I got the nickname Mikey for a while.

When I was in Germany with my high school orchestra, we had an authentic German dinner one night. I'm not really sure what half of what I attempted to eat that night was. The weirdest thing that sticks out in my mind was this sort of ball shaped thing. It was yellowish in color, but had the texture of a wet sponge sorta. I tired one bite and that was more than enough. I still have no idea what that was. How the people who bring us bratwurst managed to come up with that food item I will never understand.

being raised on a farm, fall slaughter meant capturing the pig blood, from which my daddy would make blood sausage, sunday morning brought blood pancakes, and sunday desert would be blod and chocolate cake. honest!
once in college, i ate a grape-jelly and sardine sandwhich for a dollar. i do love squid and other sea-food. rattlesnake is ok if it is not over-cooked (it gets real dry). but best of all is fresh caught brook-trout while it is still quivvering.

Damn you I just had to read that shit right when I was shoving a spoonful of wet soggy Honey Comb in my mouth. You bastard!

Well I'm not sure I don't usually eat nasty or weird shit. I taste it but that isn't eating it. However in college you almost have to sometimes. They have this whole 50 cent meal thing at this church by the campus and my friend Sergio would ask me to go and eat with him there. I don't wanna be rude to him cause he's a nice dude and I don't wanna be rude to the people who cooked the food at that church and do what I wanted to do which was run puking over to the trash can and spit out all the food in there and toss the whole plate but nope I continued eating this nasty ass flavorless I dunno what the fuck it was. I guess it was some sort a caserole it had corn, cellary, cheese, and I think it was ham cubes or some shit I dunno it was horrible. I just remember showering it with salt and shoving whole slices of bread in my mouth with every spoonfull and I ate about half and spread it around the plate to look like I ate much more and then threw it away and left and got some real food somewhere else. I don't remember where though.

Asta!!
