The vilest food on earth.

Go to Iceland.

Find a posh restaurant that serves tratitional native food.

One of the smaller side dishesyou can get should be fermented shark

Order it.

Eat.

Try not to vomit.

Actually, haggis doesn't sound that much worse than boudin, and boudin is delicious. If I'm ever in the part of the world where they make it, I'm going to be sure to try some.

OTOH, my first MIL thought mutton lungs were just great, where as they reminded me of the foam padding they make martial arts safety gear out of, boiled up with mutton flavoring.

Okay, now I'm gagging.

Remember hamburgers, those lovely harmless little all beef patties, with cheese, onion lettuce tomato and picles, grilled to juicy perfection and served on a hardroll?

When I worked on the south side of Chicago there was a place across the street that sold pig ear sandwiches. I never had one, but a couple of my friends did. It was deep-fried pig ear on french bread. Had all the ear cartilage in it and everything. I'm wondering if it even had pig ear-wax, or, if not, who cleaned it out and how they did it. Pig-sized Q-tips and rubbing alcohol?

Also, as a male, I could never bring myself to eat any sort of prairie or mountain oysters. I just couldn't do it. I know how I feel about mine, and would hope other males (at least) would feel the same respect.

I wondered if anyone would mention mountain oysters. It's understandable that you'd expect other males to share your desire to keep that part of animals off of menus, but that's not the case. I didn't know what they were until two men on a business trip to Denver tried to trick me into ordering them. I didn't, but they did. A twisted display of machismo if ever there was one.

Here's a dining tip: Never order anything in a restaurant that is recommended to you by someone who's sneering.

Are you certain that was cheese?

Foods whose names sound like warnings:

Anything with the word "pig" followed by another noun

My mother loves "good headcheese."

I know what it is, and haven't ever had the urge to try it.

What is headcheese? Dare I ask? I saw Cloudy mention it in an earlier post and couldn't bring myself to ask then. Now it's been brought up again, I can't put a lid on my curiosity.

You don't want to know, I wouldn't even put it in the horror genre of foods, it's just....evil.

Ok, back from my search. I don't think I'll be trying any of that in a hurry. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

It's pig's brains, formed into a loaf, sort of like that pressed ham stuff you see in packages, then sliced for sandwiches.

Ick.

I'd look in Gaggle, that's what you'll do.

Headcheese is the part of the animal that once hoped not to be eaten.

I warned you, but you wouldn't listen.

Ick, indeed.

Yes, quite!

Good way of putting it (if there is a good way!).

I warned you, but you wouldn't listen.

yeah, yeah, I know, but when did I ever listen.

I will NEVER hear a bad word said about haggis ever again.

anything stuffed into an organ and consumed is just wrong...and lets' not even mention tripe.

 

[trendyredhead]

Do we want to know what lutefisk is???

A nordic "delicacy".

White fish (cod or ling) soaked in lye and hung out to dry. Pretty icky, yes.

There is also the traditional and popular Surströmming which is fermented and canned herring. It tasted just like the fermented shark I told you about, but it is marginally less horrible to eat. Mostly because it actually is chewable, and therefore leaves your tastebuds much quicker.

What can I say, we vikings know how to totally fuck up fish.

EW, I say Babette's feast where they hung the fish to dry and ate everything bland. At least you have spices now.

My mom's side of the family is Polish, I'm thrilled they got out of making duck's blood soup.

In the city of Tijuana there was a restaurat that seemed to have no name. The only identification was the purple neon outline of a pig in a window. The pigs were cooked in large vats of manteca (lard). The food was delicious, however the saturated fat was off the scale!
