What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever eaten?

I don't think I've ever really eaten anything that could be considered "disgusting," I've just tried to avoid all of that stuff...

As for Rocky Mountain Oysters... My friend's mom used to live on a farm, and she actually "harvested" said oysters. She decided to tell her son, two male German exchange students, another male and myself about this when we were on our way to the Grand Canyon (a 4-5 hour drive, if I remember correctly.) I'll never forget the look on one of the German's face when it was explained to him... Don't ever plan on eating any of them though.
 
i got all curious about what the hell you were talking about so i g00gled and came up with this:

Rocky Mountain Oysters

2 pounds calf testicles*
2 cups beer
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup yellow cornmea1
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil**
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

* Be sure to ask your butcher for calf testicles, not bull testicles. Calf testicles are the size of a walnut and are much more tender than the larger bull testicles.

** Use enough vegetable oil to fill your frying container halfway to the top (to allow for bubbling up and splattering) and to completely cover calf testicles while frying.

With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each testicle. Remove the skin (you can remove the skin easily if the testicles are frozen, then peel while thawing). Slice each testicle into approximately ¼- to ½- inch-thick ovals. Place slices in a large pan or blow with enough beer to cover them; cover and let sit 2 hours.

In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Remove testicles from beer; drain and dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture. In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Deep fry 3 minutes or until golden brown (will rise to the surface when done). Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite hot pepper sauce.



anyhow, reminds me of the eatingcontest you can do in FO :)

i'm open minded as i never tasted any, but i dont think i'll go and order them myself...
 
When I was a younger lad, my father and my uncle were butchering some cattle and asked me if I wanted some Rocky Mountain oysters. I told them no, and that I didn't like oysters.

How closely I missed tragedy....

On a related note, also when I was in the Philipines we found out more about the balut after we had eaten them. In many of the published tour guides the authors state that the balut is a delicacy. Not true. We were driniking with some police officers (I was in the Marines at the time) and they told us that in reality eating baluts was more of a contest of who could eat the grossest thing. The next grossest thing to eat would have been bull's penis.

Even inebriated I knew better...
 
The worst thing I've ever eaten would have to be...Uhm...I ate a 8oz bowl of wasabi once. I rather like the taste of wasabi, but in that quantity, it's nearly a death sentence. I got a carton of cigarettes out of the deal, though...Sort of a "Sitting around eating sushi and getting drunk on saki: Fear Factor" with me as the only contestant and my friends as the hosts.

Never again.
 
Gotta put my vote in for kim-chee...I've eaten a lot of strange things, but kim-chee was the worst taste of the lot, and it lingers for days...

You know polish, they tend to steal other peoples food and call them their own :P

See example: Vodka

I love it too. I think you get used to this sort of thing. Never thought about that before as an unusual food.

My boss invited me to eat "the local speciality of his homeland".Tortoise soup. The plate was the tortoise shell. And the spoon was its paw. I couldn't refuse... Damn, it took me the whole day to digest that thing.
