@HippieChick58 Fine, you can buy me a hotdog.

@Whathappensnow I'd rather buy something less processed and more natural. But if you insist.

@Whathappensnow LOL I wonder if you'd feel the same way if you witnessed how that hot dog came to be. ????

@MollyBell I actually worked in a butcher shop for just under a year, when I was 18. One of my jobs was making sausages. I know exactly what goes in them.

@Whathappensnow I stand corrected, then.

I concur. I was offered balut in Manila. No thanks, but pass me some more pancit.

At times like that I'm glad to be vegetarian - I can claim it's "for religious reasons" as a polite way to say "absolutely no way I'm eating that!"

A friend of mine who lived in Sweden for many years says it's delicious - but I quite agree with you and am content to take his word for it rather than try it myself! (@Charlene would agree, too - she listed it below!)

Omg...gross

Had to Google both of those!

@LittleAnimal255 You're obviously not from The South. Other areas have that too, but you can't have lived in the south and not have heard of this. I've never seen it spelled before though. I always figured it was spelled like it's pronounced - chit'lins.

I'll assume you marinated your nope in pure nope beforehand.

Haggis is delicious delicious

What is that?

@Ravenwolfcasey It's a Swedish delicacie..of aged herring..it comes canned..It is extremely maloderous...I can't tell you what it tastes like..but it definately Stinks of dead fish..

@Charlene gross

@Ravenwolfcasey eeeeeyes!

Even the thought turns my stomach! I think I'd rather eat spider abdomens and some of the other stuff mentioned in these comments!

To me, they taste how farts smell. Never understood why people want to eat the things.

Brussels sprouts are little balls of evil.

Love them.

@FrayedBear Yes, but you live in the country that came up with the pie floater

They turned out to not be bad at all raw. Never cook the little stinkers though - yuck!

@FrayedBear I love them..roasted is best!

@Charlene Someone told me to have them with chestnuts ... keeping buying the chestnuts but forget to do them. When you roast do you give the a wipe of oil or fat first and if so any particular favoured? The goose, pork or beef fats particularly spring to mind.

@Jnei lol.which country? Are you refering to meat pie in mushy peas? ... and lol, be careful or I may start mentioning wasabi peas and other eastern delicacies.

@JaciBea. I can't even imagine!

How dare you insult the adulation of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! May His noodly appendage (aw crud, the joke played out before it was finished )

Oh...I forgot. Blasphemy!!!

ROFL! spider abdomens ...

@MST3K oh, now you dunnit! Let me see if there is a youtube video...I saw the video in survival training, showing us the wide selection of yummies in the wild...this isn't the video we saw, but it works:

Survival training is much easier here in the UK - you just walk a couple of miles in any direction and you'll find either a 24-hr petrol station or a Tesco Express. No consumption of spiders required!

What is it?

@FrayedBear Wet bread crumbs with seasoning.

@noworry28 Thanks. The equivalent of English bread and dripping without the calories but more flavour.

Litmus test "would the rat eat it?"

Sounds horrid. Shark is best poached.

You do have to wonder who first looked at one and thought "that looks like something I want to eat", don't you?

You also have to wonder how many people died from eating kidney beans before someone worked out you have to soak them for several hours and then boil them - and why, after the first people to eat them died, they bothered.

@Jnei I had no idea what I was doing with my first batch of pinto beans, and I was told later that I could have died. They were so disgusting not soaked that I guess I couldn't eat enough to do any damage. They probably just figured out pretty quickly that to make them more palatable, soak them a long time first. People died so often of so much that far back that people probably didn't figure out that unsoaked beans killed people until they noticed that people didn't die after eating soaked beans.

Or someone with a heavy cold .

@MarcIveson yuck. Mind you we had a Prime Minister caught on camera eating his earwax.

Your dog would love you..and Liver is one of the healthiest things you can consume...Native Americans always ate pieces of raw liver from Buffalo...I believe it's high in Vitamin K

Try #TurkeyLiver

Oh, and either Beef-Not or Chicken Not vegetarian meat substitute. Feels and tastes like sponge, no matter what you soak it in or for how long. How dare they call that "food." Basically unswallowable.
