Balut.
Balut has always thrown up a big "WTF were they thinking when they started doing this?" for me.
Anyone know any other cultural diet anomolies that just make you want to hwarf?

My friend ate a cow testicle, and he didn't know until his grandmother told him after he ate it.

Rocky Mountain Oyster.

Cow blood/milk shake (drunk by indigenous peoples of Africa, no joke).

Big Mac.

Parmesan, reeks of vomit.

I 2nd that. My wife loves that stuff, and I can't stand the smell at all. If she cooks something with parmesan, I'm out of the house.

My dad and I love it, but my mom can't stand the smell. Whenever I smell it I have to agree it smells like vomit and stale sweat but hey, I love the taste :)

I eat and love rabbit, muskrat, chittlings, among a few other country things. As long as it ain't human, while I may not eat it I don't knock someone else if they do. I can't stand Lasagna and will practically throw up even at the smell of brussle sprouts.
