Grossest thing you have had to eat

i've had Bullhead egg sacks my G-ma made, and squid. also ive eaten carp, marmot, and Beaver that i shot up in the mountains. the beaver was really good! deep red meat and perfectly marbled, made a great stew!

I was once so tired that I when I made tea, I threw my well used sweaty, smelly, old pony tail tie-up into the tea pot thinking it was a tea bag. After it was well steeped I took a swig of that "hair ponytailer tea" and almost gagged. I have been very careful since.
 
sushi.
..yuck!...
It was like some kind of grassy tasting, bitter, screwed up gummy bear thing that felt like it just kept getting bigger the more you chewed it. Add soy sauce and you got...a salty, grassy tasting, bitter, et al...

I could eat anything if I'm hungry enough and make myself like it...but sushi is just one of those things that I'd have to choke down and pray to God I didn't puke...

Hey KemSAT, is it a hygiene thing that you won't eat sushi??? Did sushi sh-t her pants. It's funnier said with drunkenese.

We were all playing pool one night and there were Bud bottles all over the place. I picked up what I thought was mine and put it to my lips to take a drink. Much to my surprise it was not beer but a bottle full of Skoal flavored saliva...

In college, we had a roommate who was a terrible mooch. A couple of my other roommates -both smokeless tobacco users- filled a Pepsi 2 liter bottle with expectorate and put it in the fridge. We got home one day after class and the mooch informed us that the Pepsi had gone bad, so he threw it out. :D

In the late '80s those were the chicken ala king and the dehydrated pork patty. :barf: I was given to understand that most if not all of the newer entrees are quite tasty.

Grossest I've eaten in civilization- dried seaweed. Ack! It was like yardwaste soaked in brine.

Grossest in the woods- "bug broth" made from ants and larvae we found in a rotten log. The fresh local greens we added to cover up the buggy taste and texture didn't help at all.
 
In my travels I've eaten some pretty repulsive things:

The Philippines: pigs blood pudding, fermented duck eggs (you get to see the formed little duckling before you eat it!), boiled squid and octopus and durian fruit, the smelliest worst tasting fruit ever.

Guam: bat boiled in coconut milk. Hair, wings, face and all!

Southeast Asia: whisky with a cobra in it, cockroaches, spiders, scorpions, banana slugs, cicadas, whole frogs and dragon fruit which look pretty but taste like a nearly flavorless very starchy potato.

Japan: natto (rotting beans), live baby octopus in sake, sea urchin, sea slug, sea cucumber, fish head soup, pizza with corn and mayo on it, horse, all 4 stomachs of the cow (each has a different texture and taste, none of which are good), raw everything, including beef and chicken.

South Korea: ate dog and drank dog juice (the au jus from the cooking dog. You can get it canned) and a huge variety of rotting fermented vegetables.

South and Central America: coatamundi, monkey, a huge variety of unidentifiable insects, a variety of snakes, alcohol made from spit and a plant, land crabs and bats.

Africa: monkey (bush meat), zebra, lion jerky, tons of insects, bats, sausage made from ox intestine and goat, dog, and half cooked goat.

Europe: frogs, goat, snails, rotten smelling cheeses, fermented vomit-inducing fish, and horse steak.

USofA: rabbit, goat and sheep testicles, rabbit, crawfish, gator, snake, tripe, and North Carolina pulled pork bbq (not a fan).

One of the most disturbing things I've eaten was in Macedonia. I was dating a girl there and her father made a nice dinner for me as his guest and it was the largest rabbit I've ever seen (small dog/large cat size). He roasted it and when he took the cover off the roasting tray there was this skinless, crispy rabbit with the giant head staring right at me. The eyelids were burned away so the wrinkly eyes were looking right at me and the lips were burned away so it was grinning ominously at me. Her father cut the head off and gave it to me, to honor me at the guest of honor. I don't know why it bothered me so much, because I've eaten much much worse, but it did. I put the head on his plate and said that I wanted to honor him as the father of the woman I loved. I thought I had blew it and he would be insulted but he took it with a huge grin and said I was a wonderful young man. It was a close call.
 
Don't know whether it's gross or not but the wife and I were eating this broccoli we grew and froze.

Then we noted that it was full of broccoli worms.

You couldn't taste them, we figured they were just broccoli anyway and we didn't want it to go to waste after all that work so we just ate them and the rest of what we put up.:thumbup::D

You sure your name isn't Andrew Zimmerman?
 
When i was a kid my dad did the whole chew and spit in a coke bottle. Well being young and always sharing whatever the parents were having i did have the spit bottle once. Needless to say i threw up, a lot.

I have eaten sushimi and its pretty good i think.

I have had kimchi, basically cabbage thats been rotting in a jar underground for a long time.

I have ate various rodents, all were tasty!

bugs aren't so nice, they are crunchy and nutty.

after all this the asians have the most "weird" food to me. Must be the whole other side of the world thing!
 
Scorpions and grasshoppers are both good when fried, natto I can live without but sea urchin I adore. In China I was the guest of honor in several banquettes and served things I didn't want to know about. I think the strangest was a half cooked fish, no I mean literally, the back half of the fish was fried and the front half was still alive and moving. Strange dinner.
 
This. Gristle and fur. Aung Lung Veng village base where Pol Pot is buried. I've had monkey before as well as other wierd foods, but this was the nastiest.

I've learned to relish natto. Just need lots of beer.

i ate an octopus. alive.

oh, and i forgot, a quail egg shot at a sushi bar. absolutely disgusting. i think it was half developed. far worse than the octopus.

(this thread is great!)
 
I have eaten everything from bugs to bats, hospital to military food, but a recent Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme had to head my list of the "worst ever" (gag icon here).
