Just like what the guy from Travel Channel's Bizzare Food say, what is considered taboo in your country could just be an everyday snack in other sides of the world.

As true as that is, I just have a hard time accepting it. In some parts of Africa they bathe in elephant urine and eat elephant sh*t. I think it's pretty fair to say that just ain't right. But at the same time, if I chomp down on something as "harmless" as a porkchop, a Muslim would be mindboggled.

Yeah, and in Africa, they are so disgusted with cheese because of the fact that cheese is somewhat a rotten milk. My friend told me that cheese really makes them sick.

To Keaton421,

No im muslim myself and i wouldnt be disgusted or Mindboggled, Its just a sin for us to eat it. We respect what other people eat.

For me i would say Turkish Delight that squishy crap is disgusting even though i am from Turkey. (I was born and still live in Australia though)

I don't doubt it, but stuff like frogs' legs and chicken feet just don't sound very appetizing to me, and those two are mild in comparison to some of the stuff I hear about.

Wow, that's amazing. How do you keep something that horribly smelly down? Your mouth would stink for weeks. And that's the least of your worries.

Has anybody eaten spotted dick? It sounds weird, but it's just a sausage right?

pig intestine soup

How could people eat DOG?

Does anyone know a food that is more disgusting then dog?

Spotted dick isn't a sausage, it's a pudding. It's steamed, made from suet and dried fruit (usually raisins), and is fantastic with piping hot custard :)

Disgusting foods... I have to go with Durian fruit too. I've never made it past the stench to even put it in my mouth.

I'll happily eat tentacles, yet can't bring myself to eat a soft-shell crab.

I was at a chinese restaurant in NYC once, and most of the menu consisted of spleen or stomach lining. I couldn't really bring myself to try that, either.

I can't vouch for the disgustingness of dog - I've never (knowingly) eaten it.

In my short time I've eaten a lot of things, my justification being that if someone else conceder’s it a delicacy than I can at least give it the BOTD and try it, and 90% of the time I like it due to a diluted sense of smell and taste. But there is one thing I can’t stand and will outright reject any dish made with it...



Olives, I hate olives with a burning passion that defies all logic or reason. Raw, fine, partially rotted for flavoring purposes, fine, insects, fine, if somebody else eats and enjoys it, fine, but put any type of olive in front of me and I can't be held responcible for my actions.
