Here's another one. Chitlins. Basically pig intestines that have been boiled and fried.

One word: balut.

Enough to turn you vegetarian. I've seen it but couldn't possibly try it. One of my friends is of Philippino origin, and loves it - like a normal egg, but crunchy.

I'll try to get some pics of the Balut, Its duck egg and yes it can turn you to a vegetarian

My Mom saw this place on TV, where they sell crickets. So me and my friends decided to go and try it.

The restaurant is 'Everybody's Cafe' Located in the Provence of Pampanga, Philippines.


Inside


We ordered
"Chicharon Bulaklak" or Crispy Pork Ruffles, "Bulalo" or Beef Soup and their specialty "Camaru" or Stir Fried Crickets.




We made the Cricket Pose
Say hi to Cricket in "Kalamansi" or Calamondin, sort of a baby lime.


One Hot Cricket


It was nice, it was cooked with onions, vinegar and some spices, it was interesting. I've gone back there to it those crickets. ooh, Forgot to say they also sell Frogs stuffed with minced beef and A pork dish with Blood Cake(sort of pigs blood gelatin)

Now the Orange beer, My Friend bought this orange beer from the Davao City, Philippines. Its locally produced and can be hard to find and may only be sold in Davao city. I wasn't able to taste it as my friend bought it only as a souvenir and no it doesn't claim to have any magical powers(judging by the label)

James May should be here and discuss his experience with Gordon Ramsey

I have seen quite a lot of disgusting food, include pig's intestine, soup with ants floating on, monkey's head, etc. I've never tried any of those.

Beef stomach in a stew is quite nice, though.

There's a Japanese food that turns stomachs, natto.

Nattō (なっとう or 納豆, Nattō?) is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, popular especially for breakfast. As a rich source of protein, nattō and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan. For some, nattō can be an acquired taste due to its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky consistency. In Japan nattō is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kantō, Tōhoku, and Hokkaido.

The taste isn't that bad, its the smell and mucus-like consistency. My wife eats it with raw egg and squid ink, making it a smelly, black mucus.


Apart from that there's eating animals while they're still alive, fish and squid especially.


In Cambodia girls were selling fried Tarantula (and Grasshopers) at the bus stop, I'll see if I can dig up a picture later.


But the placenta is the winner in my book.

You knew this one was coming. Haggis.



And Rocky Mountain Oysters aka Lamb Fries. Just cooked testicles.

You forgot to mention that the egg has already been fertilized.

The yolk has the most incredible taste-warping effect on your taste buds, and is fantastically incompatible with orange juice. That, and each egg is a little grenade of ammonia. And yet, I love these things, and none of my American friends understand.

ladies and gentlemen i give you

casu marzu

Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhídu, or in Italian formaggio marcio) is a cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae. Casu marzu means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese.

Derived from Pecorino Sardo, casu marzu goes beyond typical fermentation to a stage most would consider decomposition, brought about by the digestive action of the larvae of the cheese fly Piophila casei. These larvae are deliberately introduced to the cheese, promoting an advanced level of fermentation and breaking down of the cheese's fats. The texture of the cheese becomes very soft, with some liquid (called lagrima, from the Sardinian for "tears") seeping out. The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, about 8 mm (1/3 inch) long. When disturbed, the larvae can jump for distances up to 15 cm (6 inches).[1] Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming; others do not. The cheese has recently appeared on Gordon Ramsay's television series The F-Word.

THOSE THINGS ARE AWESOME! I love eating the gelatin-like outside; can't stand the yolk (or yolks in general) because of it's grotesque texture. Whenever my parents throw a party they buy three of the boxes, cut them up, and arrange them on plates as appetizers. I've never seen how they could be thought of as disgusting.

Most disgusting thing I've ever eaten? I'd say dog meat, but I'd be lying - the first time I had it, it was delicious.



The most disgusting thing I've heard of is probably Guolizhuang restaurant in Beijing, that specializes in nothing but horse, oxen, deer and dog penises.



Man, Westerners eat this shit up.

Our second-to-last night in Beijing, my father and I tried to find the mythical restaurant, unsuccessfully. I had read that young couples eat there so the men can become more virile, like a thousand-year-old answer to Viagra. Figures.



My dad thought it was pretty disgusting. But I knew I had to go someday just so I could brag that I ate a sheep fetus once!



Alas, we never found it. So we went to a Spanish restaurant instead, where I decided to be equally adventurous and order a plate of pasta topped in a sauce of squid ink.



It turned out to be better than I thought. Rather salty, though. So I washed it down with some sangria (another first for me, too).

I want to be the Evel Knievel of culinary craziness. Next up - fried scorpion, Laotian cobra whiskey, and maybe overcoming my fear of cockroaches by, you know, eating the suckers.

I had a roommate in college who was from Mexico, he ate this stuff called Huitlacoche or "corn smut".

Corn smut is a disease of maize caused by the pathogenic plant fungus Ustilago maydis. U. maydis causes smut disease on maize (Zea mays) and teosinte (Euchlena mexicana). Although it can infect any part of the plant it usually enters the ovaries and replaces the normal kernels of the cobs with large distorted tumors analogous to mushrooms. These tumors, or "galls", are made up of much-enlarged cells of the infected plant, fungal threads, and blue-black spores. The spores give the cob a burned, scorched appearance. The name Ustilago comes from the Latin word ustilare (to burn).

One day he finally convinced me to eat some and to this day is the only food that has caused me to gag, which made him laugh quite a bit.

here is a picture...
