Grossest food I didn't eat: horseshoe crab. Inside it's just a bunch of gills and weird little ugly things. Horseshoe crabs aren't really even crabs, they're a kind of proto-arachnid.

I got served that in Thailand, because an American co-worker tried ordering for us using his new Thai language skills. I wanted the shrimp curry but ended up with the horseshoe crab. Not sure if the guy accidentally ordered that, or if the waiter was just trolling us. Probably just trolling us.

horseshoe crabs are adorable. when i was in maryland not long ago i could watch them scurrying around in the water from my balcony. dozens of them. i'd see people walking along the shore and mess with them. pick them up by their tails and i would get upset. "why don't you leave it alone, *******?"

they have white blood. it's weird and cool. apparently it has all sorts of neat healing and curative properties when produced/refined right.

That has to be human. Tasted like chicken tho.

On a more serious note, I have never eaten this but I have smelled it and it is so revolting that I'd can see it being something that countries would go to war over.

I can neither confirm or deny the rumor that a certain individual thought it would be "funny as hell" to throw a can of the stuff into the school' ventilation system where this particular individual attended.

Beef stroganoff army rations.

Switched my standard Israeli MREs with an American friend to see whose was worse.

Yep... eating the beef stroganoff was like eating it after the previous eater had had serious diarrhea.

On eating things voluntary and enthusiastically:

Om Nom Nom.

With chips and onion gravy please.

I came back from Iraq with my weight dipping into the 120s, because I refused to eat MREs. The last time I was that light was maybe 12, 13 years old. Anyway, instead of MREs, I hunted perishables when they were near.

By US Army regulation (at least), fruits and fresh condiments (if not a hot cooked meal) are required either with MRE sittings, or every few days--shame on me, I don't recall if it was every 5 or 7 days. but when they were available (fruits, bread, cookies), I'd hoard them, freeze them, go hungry when I ran out--only breaking my diet (and eating MREs) before missions, when I had to think about my platoon.

So. MREs. grossest thing. Nowadays, I fix fresh food, and I only have fast food for the nostalgia. fewer than 10 fast food meals in the last year and a half. cuz fast food is pretty gross too.

Lutefisk is cod that has been dried in a lye solution. It looks like the desiccated cadavers of squirrels run over by trucks, but after it is soaked and reconstituted and the lye is washed out and it's cooked, it looks more fish-related, though with lutefisk, the window of success is small. It can be tasty, but the statistics aren't on your side. It is the hereditary delicacy of Swedes and Norwegians who serve it around the holidays, in memory of their ancestors, who ate it because they were poor. 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.

Yeeee!

MRE 1.0's as I call them. These were introduced, nay forced, upon us back in 84. For the most part they were very bleh. The chicken ala king and the ham steak were okay, but the worst, by far, were the dehydrated pork or dehydrated beef patty. Dried, tasteless meat sponges is what they were. Also the hot dogs, or four fingers of death, would make me gag. If you ate the baked beans you didn't crap for a week or two. No tabasco sauce either.

Caramelized locusts were pretty horrible i guess, i have also eaten snails, frogs legs, bogies (my own :P), marmite (urgh!).

Honourable mention also has to goto two ghastly creations of mine.. Fizzy milk and bacon curry (it really is foul, like eating pure salt that burns your mouth)

Gross things which i eat enthusiastically? hmm... when i was a kid i used to love eating my mums plants in the front garden, the plant was kinda like a daisy but with pink flowers and long juicy delicious leaves and stalks.

That has more to do with 'accidental stupidity' than anything really gross. Now, if it was a can used as a spitoon................

I had one that grossed me out today.

A lad on my team is currently off work on paternity leave. He came in with his baby today and he brought in a load of curry and rice that his good wife had cooked.

I was well up for some genuine Indian cooking and dived in, dishing it up onto my plate. As I was spooning it on I noticed that the chunks of "meat" clanked when they hit my plate.

After some prodding and poking it turns out that all of the meat in the curry was still attached to bones. Really big bits of bone.

Of course - despite feeling weirded out by this - I was too embarrassed to put it back so I ate it anyways.

It was really tasty but I felt quite sick all the same. I'm not good with that kind of thing.

Aaaaaaand relax.

I don't get it ? Bones ? What about fried chicken.....short ribs.....barbecue ???? Bone-in steak ? Or am I missing something ?

What you have mentioned are all basically "finger foods" but i assume you have had a curry before? it's all chunks of meat in sauce and other stuff, not something you can pick at really.

I have eaten many curries both traditional and westernized and i have also never seen one with bits of bone in (gristle yes, but not actual bone)

Rhatar has it pretty much nailed on.

It was more about the expectation that I would get nice succulent chunks of lamb and ended up trying to suck bits of flesh off knuckles of bone.

It just freaked me out. You know what a chicken drumstick is all about (trying not to get bits of tendon stuck in your teeth and not choking to death.) What?

Aaaaaaand relax.

Grossest thing I ever ate was a lovely little fruit called Mamoncillo. The rind tastes like a grape and feels like slime.
