7. Octopus.

Sorry. No can do.

I have eaten squid, and I don't much care for it.

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. Oh god are you missing out though...

Portuguese Octopus is amazing. Stewed in wine then served over roasted potatoes...

Mmmmmmmmmm!

[Gormy Cuss]

39. Oooh. have I got the recommendation for you.

There's a restaurant on Soquel Ave. in Santa Cruz, CA that has an unbelievably good octopus appetizer -- it's one tentacle from a good size octopus, sauteed in garlic and coiled on the plate.


p.s. I'm soaking bacalhau to use Monday in codcakes... wish me luck.

[BigMcLargehuge]

40. good luck with the codcakes!!!!!

:)

[Gold Metal Flake]

8. Live monkey brains.

I never expected to see THAT in the mall food court. :scared:

[FuzzySlippers]

9. Steak tartare.

[struggle4progress]

23. Well, I last tried that about forty years ago, but I thought it delicious.

[Richard Steele]

35. I just had some steak tartare last week- it was really good!

I was craving it for 2 days!
I would seriously have gone back the very next night,
but it's a 'one-night-a-week' item.

I see the problem with the steak in your pic: they forgot the egg!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Eggplant

Looks like an extraterrestrial's brain. :puke:





And okra looks like an extraterrestrial's brain that got run over by a bus 56 times. :puke: :puke: :puke:

[FuzzySlippers]

14. Eggplant is yummy!!! What's the matter with you?

:spank:

[benny05]

30. Especially in Mousaka (sp)

12. Liver

And I'm not going to go look for a picture of it.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

18. Aaaaaaak!

Kill me first.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

51. Pansy! It's the food of the gods!

I've seriously thought about organizing a "LiverFest."

[miss_american_pie]

53. My mother used to feed us that

and we ate it, until the day we were coming down with the flu, which hit about two hours after dinnertime.

Not pretty.

[DanCa]

15. Headcheese my dads favorite snack.

Seriously he its a half chunk of it, covered in vinnegar, and with a slice of raw onion.

[DanCa]

17. Cold coffee and raw liver - my dads favorite breakfeast (nt)

[flamingyouth]

19. Canned fried grasshoppers & bamboo caterpillars

As seen at Uwajimaya in Seattle. :scared:

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Count me in for ANY insect, bug, arachnid, or creepy crawler - yuck!

I am quite confident that there is not a chance in hell that I will ever even give them a chance.

[DainBramaged]

20. I love fried eel. Most people cringe. Nice delicacy

[Liberal Veteran]

24. The word "delicacy" should be construed as a red flag

...because what it really means is "a food like substance that no one in their right mind would eat unless they were 2 seconds from starving"

[DainBramaged]

26. HAHAHAH no they really do tase good, it's the thought

[tinfoilinfor2005]

29. I was raised on smoked eel, coming from Latvian heritage.

Better than any smoked fish going. Never had it fried though...bet I'd like it.

[Submariner]

[DainBramaged]

25. OMG Post of the month OMG OMG OMG

I am lauighing so hard I am crying.

[spindrifter]

31. I think they left some of the ingredients

out. Or maybe they let them out. Seriously, did you buy a can of this stuff? I think this would be just the ticket for the next office "pot" luck.

[Submariner]

36. As a fish biologist I was given this as a joke at work

but it can be bought at this site along with some pepper recipes that will burn your innards out.

http://www.peppers.com/excuses.cfm

[spindrifter]

37. A good source for condiments to go w/ the Assholes.

[Jamastiene]

22. I thought headcheese was something else.

Something unmentionable....

[Liberal Veteran]

27. Lutefisk...

Bleh.

[JVS]

42. yum

[tinfoilinfor2005]

32. Rotted shark meat buried in sand for six weeks (or months)

is actually a highly regarded dish in Iceland. Anthony Bourdain had to eat some of it on his show on the Travel Channel and he almost upchucked.

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. Whale sperm.

And yes, it is a food - they eat it in Japan.

Saw a nice big bag of it at a food market in Kyoto once.

[NMDemDist2]

38. sorry, but I never could stomach menudo or kim chi

this will probably start a flame war :grr:

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

41. There's this Indian or Pakistan Desert

snack thing I once had a friend who took me to a relatives grocery store/restaurant. I don't remember what it was called but it was kind of round sponge looking thing that where solid pastal colors to them. It didn't look like something you would eat for snack, not in a bad way. I was expecting it to be a little sweet, but it kind of tasted flat. Would anyone know what this was?

[Kali]

43. "Parts", insects or larvae of ANY kind.

I love meat, but the dogs can have all the PARTS.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

44. Snake Urine Soup

Said to be the breakfast of champions of the Sumo set and clocking in at a whopping thousand bucks a bowl. Saw it years ago on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"

Pass.

[Submariner]

45. Shark Sphincters

Great in an omelette.:9


Rehoboth Beach Style Shark Sphincters - "Most of our sphincters have been heavily lubricated. We only use the tightest available clenched sphincters. Our sphincters are guaranteed to have never been stretched.

WARNING: Some of the sphincters may slam shut. Heavy use may cause a serious lack of stiffness.":rofl:

[Burma Jones]

46. Tempeh

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

62. I love tempeh!

Mmm...with some barbecue sauce or a tempeh reuben sandwich.

[Cobalt Violet]

75. That's my favortie soy product.

It's just fermented soy beans. :shrug:

[Inspired]

48. Liver and onions for one...

and that fish that comes in jars.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

52. Herring?

I have a jar of it in my fridge right now (not this particular brand, though).

[Inspired]

54. Not herring...some kosher fish

but that jar looks bad to me. My mom eats herring but it comes in a plastic container from the deli.

[spindrifter]

55. You might be thinking of

gefilte fish.

[njdemocrat106]

61. Gefiltefish was going to be my contribution to this thread

From what I've seen of it, I don't want to try it. And I've never seen lutefisk, but past experiences of reading about it here on DU have turned my stomach.

[Midlodemocrat]

49. Oysters. They look too slimey for me.

[spindrifter]

56. Try sitting around

a table with a bunch of oyster-hoisters, you take one of the little guys, put some lemon and hot sauce on it and just as you are about to put it to your lips, you see some kind of sea worm on the dang thing. Moving. Now that will put you off oysters for a long time.

[lonestarnot]

50. whale or elephant nagh....

[Missy Vixen]

57. Kimchee. n/t

[TimeChaser]

64. Actually, I hear that it tastes really good

despite how nasty it looks.

[JI7]

58. Haggis

want to puke just by looking or thinking about it

[driver8]

59. Corn dogs...never ate one, and I never will!! n/t

[Frank Cannon]

68. Ooooooh, I do LOVE ME some corn dogs!!

Brings back pleasant memories of the Texas State Fair.

[Skittles]

60. spaghetti

:puke:

[TimeChaser]

65. I'm not alone?

I can't stand spaghetti, specifically the sauce.

[Skittles]

67. it is just disgusting

ugh

[NMMNG]

63. Scrapple

I was born and raised in New England and had never heard of the stuff. Then I move down below the Mason-Dixon line and start hearing of it left and right. So one day I'm in the grocery store and decide to see what it is. I picked up a package, turned it over and decided immediately that the grey/white/black brick of stuff was not for me. I could not help but wonder if they call it "Scrapple" because it's made of the scraps that fall on the floor and get swept up (along with any other debris) then thrown back into the sausage machine. :scared:

[azmouse]

77. My dad ate that stuff.

The smell of it when it was fried was enough to make me sick!

[XemaSab]

66. Water bugs

I saw a package of them at the "other" asian grocery in town.

I asked the clerk "What do you do with these?"

"You mash them up and make a paste for seasoning."

"Is it good?"

"It is if you like it."

[bleedingheart]

69. Keeshka - Blood Sausage...

I know I spelled it wrong but I am here to tell you...that is nasty.

It was the sausage of the poor in europe because they couldn't afford meat. So blood, oats and some of the very lesser cuts of meat were ground together (more oats than meat) and stuffed in a casing.

When boiled it is black....ugh!

[LostinVA]

70. Potted Meat

[annonymous]

71. Anything gray

That includes scrapple and raw oysters.

[kwassa]

74. None, I will pretty much try anything once. Adventure!

[anarch]

76. steak

I don't wanna eat that....
