What's the grossest thing you ever ate?
 

I never did watch fear factor much. But I got to thinking, what is the grossest thing you have ever eatten?

My wife went to the fridge one morning (half awake) and grabbed the pitcher of orange juice and poured a glass and took a big swigg. It was cold chicken broth!

For me, I once inhaled a mosquito hawk and had to swallow it.

Funny how some things look gross and taste good. Black beans and mole sauce come to mind. I also like snails, octopus, squid, just about anything that crawls or swims. It was a brave person who first looked at a lobster and said, Oh, that looks good to eat!

I'm pretty careful about what I eat, but I'd say an Italian pizza is the grossest thing I've ever eaten. In Italy, pizzas are made VERY differently than the way they're made here. I couldn't stand them. :yuck:

I think you got a bum pie. I've had pizza in Italy and it was great. Different (but not radically so) but great.

Pizzas made in Itlay are the ultimate best! Eggplant pizza sounds gross, but it is delicious. After eating the real thing, American pizzas taste awful.

The Worm yes the Worm at the bottom of the bottle
 

Hearts of blue agave plants grown in the Tequila Region and the agave worm that if found at the bottom of the bottle :nono: aint no friend of mine :D Just don't try to chew that puppy up right Neo ! It will bite back :laugh:

What's the grossest thing you ever ate?
 

Personally, I've never met a pizza I didn't like. I'd have to say liver and onions is the worst! My parents thought it was something we needed to eat every once in a while. Some expert said it was good for you, I would like to know what crazy person ever thought the cleaning organ of the body would be benificial for your health. Can you imagine all the gunk that is probably trapped in that thing! Needless to say, as an adult I never touch the stuff.

refugen3 you are showing your age
 

Visceral parts with onions and gravey yes sir this is what keeps those cardiac doctors in business. Eat the filters and throw away the meat :laugh: :laugh:
Isaac welcomes you to the fire ;)

I always wondered about that. I thought that Tequila had no worm, and that it was Mescal (sp?) that is a cheaper form of agave beverage that has the worm at the bottom of the bottle. My favorite Tequila is Patron Silver. It is expensive but fortunately I don't drink it that often. LOL, yeah I can see how getting the worm would get your attention!

Real pizzas are made in New Jersey :)
Just ask anybody :)

If someone offered me a million dollars to eat liver and onions I would refuse! I would not eat squid, or sushi either. The grossest thing I ever ate was my mother-in-law's cornbread dressing.

The grossest thing I have ever eaten is an oyster. I tried one when I was 15 years old (yes Isaac that was 25 years ago!) and it was just the worst thing ever. BRRHHHH who wants to eat something that looks like a giant cow booger? Not me. Never will eat one again.

My best friend's daughter was on Fear Factor (she won!) and had to eat fermented squid guts. She said it was so horrible you can't imagine. Well I can imagine what I would do if I had to eat it!:barf:

LOL, does your mother-in-law know that ? ? That's FUNNY!! :laugh:

No, she is deceased now. I always made sure we did not go visit on holidays, so I would not have to be rude.

Mother-in-law will try to poison you with out dated food
 

I try not to eat anything my mother-in-law has out or on the table. She does not throw stuff away. I would run up to Sonic or something but no more poison from her table. I am glad my dear wife did not pick up that trait. Well not yet anyway :laugh: :laugh:
Isaac

Sorry. :( :footinmouthL

What is it about the holidays.. seems they're always full of added stress.
Speaking of Mother-in-laws, mine is alright, but I also have a step-mother-in-law.. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED !!!

For those of you that have Friday off. TGIT !!! :)

LOL, yeah its a REALLY good thing they don't make "liver sushi" or I'm sure I wouldn't like it! I don't like liver in any which way. But I think fried calamari is pretty darn good.

Quick story. I once had a sushi chef tell me that back in Korea when he was young, they used to eat live squid. First you take a stick and dip it into the barrel and come up with a squid and twist it round the stick and dip it in hot sauce! Then eat it! He said you could feel it move in your mouth!

I think I would have to be in Korea and not Shreveport to try that one!

oyster anyone
 

For me this rates right up there on the top of my list of never eat. This is the only food that I could not actually swallow. I think it could be the slimmy texture that gets me.
You know, many people are repulsed by the texture of foods not the taste.
For instance, the oyster if I remember correctly had no distinct taste.
Where as horseraddish the texture is good for me, but the taste takes my breath away. Not a "bad" taste more like a fire taste.

I guess that means fear factor is out for me! They're always fixin' that slimmy stuff. I could most likely handle the hissing cockroaches. :D

Goose Pate with Port Wine
 

Now that would make you feel good in the morning :o now live squid I have used for bait but never thought about sticking it in my mouth. I do love fried calamari :clap: I have seen it on sushi tray before but that might have been octopus and I do not know if it was raw or cooked. What say you rherz have you had that at a sushi bar ?
Isaac

It all tastes like chicken, except for fish.

Yes, squid at the sushi bar is cooked and therefore rather chewy (like calamari). Just what you would expect, and very similar to octopus in texture.

BTW I ate some "salmon belly" last week which is like Toro is to Maguro (Tuna) and it was very good. I had no idea I liked raw salmon because I hate it cooked so I never tried it.

The only way to ever eat salmon is sushi
 

When I try cooked salmon it smells like fish :rolleyes: :rolleyes: so I like a bit of soy and rice with that please no heat needed. I had a friend from up north bring me some salmon that was cured in salt water and some other stuff well it was nasty :nono: and it was cold so I heated some of it up and the whole house smelled like fish. Mama not so happy with Isaac :laugh:
Isaac

I don't eat sushi. I had a g/f a few years ago that did. She ate all kind of weird foods (i.e. sushi, squid, escargot, pocky, seaweed, etc.) and she called me a picky eater. :freaky: When I was overseas on deployment, she often asked me what I had to eat because she encouraged me to try foreign foods. I'd usually just mumble for a second and say, "uh....McDonald's," and she'd get all irritated at me. But she as cute when she was mad! :D

Can you believe I got negatives for hating squid and liver? my gosh people are something else......

Watch out for bagged spinach salads!
 

Unfortunately the absolute worst thing I have ever eaten was a green stink bug hidden inside a bag of Popeyes spinach! I never even saw it just bit right in and was totally repulsed by an indescribable bitterness! When I spit it out I couldn't believe my eyes! Where's Kirby Kelly when you need him?

Pocahontas :eek:

Kirby Kelly!!!! Do I have a story about him!!!
 

All I can say (since he is an attorney) is watch out for him in Superior Steakhouse! He certainly provided my girlfriends and I with some entertainment to watch and laugh at.:laugh: :laugh:

oh my im scared to ask he's the guy w/ the hat right?

Yes, he is except he doesn't look like that anymore. Apparently we've lost weight, had a hair transplant or something, and maybe a little surgery!

So we would call him butt head
 

Did they take the hair off his butt to place it on his butt head. :laugh: Maybe he will not need the hat so much now. Tbelle you sound like you know him well ?

Ok I'm with you on this one i forgot about "raw" oysters i tried it once and upon swallowing it grossed me out so bad that it came back up i know gross..... i have never tried "raw" oysters again. Now fried? I can eat them everyday as long as I don't look at them when I bite.......

Yeah, hell, ya can eat anything if its battered and deep fried. I always thought okra was pretty damn disgustin...got that snot-like substance in the middle.:eek:

LOL, nope, don't think I could handle any Raw Oysters myself.. just the thought.. ughh.. But my grandmother from Nawlins used to make this Oyster dressing for Thanksgiving.. that was just out of this world ! Admittedly, this was nothing much to look at. Not very appealing as far as looks. But DAMN it was good.
Glad to say my mother carried on this tradition, and so has the wife :)

That's pronounced "Ershter Dressin'"

Aiiiieeeeeeeee :yes:

The thing about Oysters is that you can tie a string around them before you eat them, and pull it back up and eat it again if you get hungry!

P.S. I dont eat them. They're nasty!

Liver and squid are the 2 things that gross me out more than anything. I have tried sushi and I can't think of what's in it or I won't eat it.

LOL, yes, that's what my dad used to say about oysters !!!

That was halarious.:laugh: (the bit about the oyster on a string)
I think what I enjoy about this site the most is the humor.

Around here it's pronounced "oishtur"
