Food confessions: what's the grossest thing you love?

[biostud]

I like Uni (raw sea urchin). I guess that is the grossest thing I will eat.

Had that in Tokyo, and that is f*cking gross.

 

[Anubis]

eat smaller oysters that don't suck?

so it would be like a small loogie

still nasty

Sardines are delicious, though I've never had them in mustard sauce. I prefer plain smoked, and sometimes add my own hot sauce. I've had the ones packed in hot sauce, but they aren't as good.

Sardines are nothing more than tiny cooked fish in a can. There's nothing gross about it. It's like saying tuna fish in a can is gross. The only way it could be gross was it was raw uncooked fish in a can.

Cod Fish Sperm - Eaten in Japan

This slippery, soft white food is a popular winter delicacy in Japan. Shirako, otherwise known as Cod Fish Sperm Sac, is said to melt in the mouth like butter and is made from cod milt, a fancier word for fish sperm. It can be eaten both raw and cooked, depending on individual tastes.

yummy

Sardines are delicious. Dont know who suggested to pack sardines in a mustard sauce. Tried that once and the flavor combination just doesn't fit IMO. I like the ones in tomato sauce. Smoked is also very good. A can makes a nice meal. Just use a fork to left each fish out of the can and split it lengthwise so the spine and any of the big bones can be removed. Sardines with some bread, olives and other assorted antipasto is one of my favorite meals.

Try to shop at a Mediterranean or European grocer if you can. The sardines found here are typically plumper and better quality than the average supermarket canned sardines.

I am hooked on Riga Sprats. Small smoked Russian fish. Better than any sardine you could imagine.

Lutefisk.

Lutefisk.

calling shens. no-one loves that nastiness. Even hardcore norwegians.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Loved it as a kid. Like it to this day. Scary how much friggin salt is in one can.

 

[akugami]

Lutefisk.

Most lutefisk is not edible by normal people. It is reminiscent of the afterbirth of a dog or the world's largest chunk of phlegm.

With a glowing endorsement like that, we should have an AT gathering and have us some lutefisk.

Love grilled lengua - beef tongue. Looks disgusting on the store shelf but it is delicious when properly prepared.

 

[nakedfrog]

canned corned beef.

:awe:

Are you talking about corned beef hash?

Except canned tuna is just fish meat. Not whole fish.

Riga sprats are a Latvian product. I believe it is their #1 export.

In no sense are they Russian.

but Tuna fish in a can is gross. It's cat food. You eat cat food?

 

[smackababy]

Nope, they actually sell "corned" "beef" in a can. Filipinos love that shit too. My GF and her family certainly do... It is pretty disgusting.


I can't think of anything overly gross that I enjoy. Mayo on french fries gets quite a few strange looks, I suppose. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to trying the weirder stuff though. I once saw a Japanese restaurant that served fresh monkey brains (and by fresh, I mean they brought a live monkey to the special table, with a cage that had a small hold for the head to be held up through and the patrons smashed his head with a mallet). I'd probably avoid that, as I am not aware of the safety of brain and spinal column of monkeys (mad cow type of disease).

I've eaten all manner of strange food, but nothing really disgusting. Caviar maybe?

A grilled cheese sandwich with grape jelly scraped on the top crust.
Although I haven't been able to have a grilled cheese in years

Also, more recently, I had a burger with peanut butter and deep fried bananas on it. It was delicious.

Aside from those, I haven't really experienced anything particularly 'gnarly'

Is not.

It's cat food. You eat cat food?

And yes I do.
SUCK IT!

Huh. I think I tend to avoid most things of that nature.

I eat tuna fish straight out of the can. And I prefer the tuna fish packed in oil. I eat sardines, mackerel, oysters, snails, etc straight out of the can too. It's fully cooked. What's so gross about it?

 

[jhansman]

Canned hash (corned beef or not). My wife has to leave the room, claims it smells like dog food. Add some chopped onion to it and fry that shit up. Couple of eggs up and it's time for some good eatin'.

 

[Iron Woode]

Are you talking about corned beef hash?

yes and no.

I like Hereford canned corned beef. Its shredded and salty and plain awesome.

I also buy canned corned beef hash made by Puritan. Its hard to find but oh so worth it. Corned beef and diced potato. fried up its awesome.

did I repeat the word awesome? yes I did.

:awe:

I don't really eat gross food unless you count buffalo and deer gross. When I was a kid I used to eat liver sausage and spam.

Oh! that was a delicacy. I should buy some. I haven't had that since the 80's!
