What other foods sound grosser than they are besides ''cobb salad''

[yurbud]

Cobb salad sounds to me like a last use for the corn cob before it heads to the outhouse, or since it meant spit when I was a kid, it sounds like a group of slowly drooling extra thick loogie on someone all at once.

My brother told me about something he ate in Australia that sounded really gross: Bristol Bay bugs (or something like that) when I looked it up, it turns out we call it ''slipper lobster'' here, which is a lot more appetizing.

Any other contributions.

1. Welsh rarebit

I mean, :wtf:

[yurbud]

6. what is in that?

[MorningGlow]

10. I've never had it

But even I know it ain't "rabbit", no matter how many people misspell it.

Actually it's cheese sauce over toast--doesn't sound bad at all.

Here's a recipe--I trust Alton implicitly: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/welsh-rarebit-recipe/index.html

[AlCzervik]

15. That is delicious, when I was a kid they had in cans, I think it was Snowes.

my mom used to make it for me.

[vadawg]

19. mmmmmm rarebit with tomatoes yummy, okay here goes

haggis yummy, blood sausage yummy, hedgehog yummy, puffin yummy, anenomes yummy (with vinegar), salted herring yummy, deep fried pizza yummy, roadkill can by yummy. roasted sparrow yummy.

[vixengrl]

28. You're a person after my own heart--

things that are eatable are yummy. I dig eels (as sushi, even), oysters (raw, even), kidney pie, chicken gizzards, blood puddings, escargot, and once ate a wild amount of herring as a toddler simply because grown-ups were watching--anything offbeat that I don't get at table everyday. I think kind of like a toddler, I think I know things better after I've put them in my mouth.

But I've never et hedgehog. Nor puffin. They are critters that are stuffed-animal cute, which is a bit of a barrier to my getting hold of them for the eating. If you have eaten hedgehog, you really must tell. Isn't it a small, bony little beastie? Is it difficult to skin?

And what does one do with what you have left over when you roast a sparrow? Not a lot, I'd guess.

[vadawg]

29. we used to cook hedgehogs in clay balls on the fire

that way the spines and fleas come away in the clay, delicious. you roast the sparrows whole in side clay again, real good

[yurbud]

71. is the hedgehog alive for this process?

[geardaddy]

50. Black pudding = teh yummy

[geardaddy]

49. I love Welsh rarebit.

Yum!

[Critters2]

67. My seminary cafeteria used to serve that. And yes, at first I feared it might

have rabbit in it. I mean, these were New Englanders, who love lobster...which is just a big sea bug.

Turns out, Welsh rarebit is quite tasty. Who knew?!

[trackfan]

2. Goobers

[trof]

3. Mud bugs = crawfish

[yurbud]

5. I've never heard them called that, but it is less appetizing than crawfish, crayfish, or crawdads

[trof]

8. Called that on the gulf coast.

Especially in Texas and Louisiana.

[Texasgal]

4. Mud bugs

In season now! YUM!

[gmoney]

7. Clamato...

Or worse yet, Clamato mixed with Bud Lite.

[yurbud]

12. clamato is almost as bad as it sounds. mixed with bud lite, it's called ''barf''

[AlCzervik]

18. i love a big room temperature glass of that on hot days after a run.

i keed.

[yurbud]

27. if you scraped yur sweat off into a glass, you wouldn't need the clamato

you'd have something that would taste about the same.

[Rhiannon12866]

39. My Dad loved Clamato.

Nobody else would touch it, LOL. One time, we spent the weekend at my aunt's. She got Clamato especially for my Dad and insisted that he take the bottle home with him... :D

[RushIsRot]

69. I love Clamato on occasion. I dress it up a tad with salt, pepper

and Crystal Pepper Sauce. I once tried mixing it with alcohol and found it dreadful.

[alphafemale]

9. Chicken Nuggets

Not all that great. But still far better than the name.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Cobb Salad? Named for Bob Cobb?

All I can think of is "Curb Your Enthusasism"

[yurbud]

13. cobb is one of those names like Dick or Hitler

it exists solely to be changed.

[geardaddy]

53. That was a great episode

well, they were all great.

[limit18]

14. Corn pone

sounds pretty gross too.

[yurbud]

52. hillbilly X-rated movies?

[no name no slogan]

16. Head Cheese

If you don't know what it is, GIYF

[yurbud]

17. sounds like the product of onanism

[jobycom]

35. How is that not as gross as it sounds?

[grasswire]

20. how about cooter soup?

I was reading a Southern cookbook and saw several recipes calling for cooter. I had to look it up. It's a kind of mud turtle.

[yurbud]

32. I thought that's what lady parts made when they're ready to party

[peekaloo]

42. good gawd

i tried NOT to laugh and it made my eyes water.

[yurbud]

44. I tried not to laugh at you trying not to laugh and it ended up coming out the wrong end

kind of a snicker in my pants (the sound not the candy bar).

[Angleae]

21. Spotted Dick

[yurbud]

47. it my part of the country we call that moldy bobbit.

[Connonym]

22. yet actual Cobb salad is delicious

weird innit?

[conscious evolution]

23. Spotted Dick

Saw it on a menu board in the window of a pub in England.
I have no idea what it is and I would appreciate it if anyone here who does know that they keep that info to themselves.Please.

[geardaddy]

56. It's a suet pudding dessert

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_Dick

[Robeson]

24. Onions. But they're as gross as they sound.

[seaker]

25. Clotted Cream

[yurbud]

45. I think I read about some European coming over to visit colonists and he couldn't believe they ate

that shit. And he couldn't get it down himself. Or is that the same as clabber?

[seaker]

65. I am not sure

It doesn't sound very good to eat, does it?

[Greyskye]

55. I wasn't looking forward to it the 1st time I tried it - man was I wrong!

Love me some clotted cream on my scones for high tea! :D

[seaker]

66. Great picture

Thanks for sharing

[Withywindle]

26. Century egg

They're really only a few months old.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg

[yurbud]

51. the actual food looks worse than the name!

[Orrex]

30. Toad in the hole

[yurbud]

[mitchum]

31. Manwich

[yurbud]

58. out here we can that an MMF (or MMM) three way

[csziggy]

33. Blood sausage

A woman made it on one of the Gordon Ramsey cooking shows the other day. :puke: It is made with chunks of fat and blood in a bit of intestine (sausage casing). And then to make sure that Gordon was grossed out, she took fresh blood and made a blood pancake. That has got to be one of the nastiest things I have ever seen in my life.

[vadawg]

34. yummy fried with potato scone on a bap mmmmmmm

[geardaddy]

59. Anything on a floury bap.

Gimme a bacon buttie with brown sauce any day!

[yurbud]

46. that's one of the two things I've eaten in my life that I couldn't even swallow one bite of

It's one thing to eat your own scabs, it's quite another to eat someone else's.

[Tom Kitten]

36. Steak Tartar

Sticks to your teeth as well as your ribs!

[MrSlayer]

37. Shit on a shingle.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

40. MMM! Me loves me some SOS!

And contrary to the usual stereotypes, the cooks in my batallion made it a real treat!

Free-flowing arteries are over-rated!

:hi:

[yurbud]

48. that name is so bad you know the food itself can't be as bad

[Broken_Hero]

38. Fish Head Stew, nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

41. Dirt cake. Gummy worms.

Ok, gummy worms are as gross as they sound.

But dirt cake? That's some good stuff.

edited to fix a tpyo.

[peekaloo]

43. bangers and mash

[yurbud]

57. which is worse, names of British food or the actual food?

my LET'S GO EUROPE book actually said to avoid the native food when you go to Britain (apart from fish & chips) and look for the plentiful Indian restaurants.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

62. British food improved markedly between the 1960s and the 2000's

When I was there in 1967, I thought that everything except breakfast was intolerable.

Returning for the first time in 2006, I was delighted to find the food quite (sometimes downright delicious). Yes, the Indian restaurants are fantastic, but so is the food in many pubs, and I developed a real fondness for Scotch eggs, Cornish pasties, and bacon butties.

The only bad food I had was when I mixed up my train routes, forgot to transfer, and ended up stuck waiting for the train to backtrack on for two hours. The only place to eat within walking distance of the train station was a Tesco, and their cafeteria served up the stereotypical greasy meat and potatoes with mushy peas.

Otherwise, I sought out pub grub and encountered many homemade soups, homemade breads, and local cheeses.

[yurbud]

63. I'm glad to hear it. My ancestors were mostly English and I'd hate to think one of my kids

would inherit a retarded cooking gene from England.

[geardaddy]

60. Sweetbreads

Oh wait, that' opposite.

[azmouse]

61. Blood oranges.

Sounds terrible but they are delicious. They taste like a combo of orange and strawberry.

[geardaddy]

64. Trader Joe's has a good Blood orange soda.

Yummm!

[Critters2]

68. Sour cream. I remember explaining to an international student,

in college, that sour cream is actually edible, safe, and surprisingly tasty on Mexican food. And potatoes.

[XemaSab]

70. I'll say it: Cheesecake

It sounds like the nastiest shit, but DAMN it;s good. :9
