Had a plastic bottle I used to take to work with some squash in it everyday. I was a bit lazy and used to go the whole week without washing it out everynight. One dinner time I took the usual swig and felt something solid sliding down my thoat. I looked in the bottle and saw some mold floating around. I had swallowed most of it. Not sure how I managed NOT to vomit...

jellyfish, doesn't sound that bad and I've tried lots of nasty looking stuff, but the texture of it is cringeworthy.

tried lots of unknown stuff on the streets in thailand, had locals offering me stuff and pissing themselves when i ate it, tasted like some sort of liver, tasted okay and they were eating it, probably dogs liver or something

Hehe Jellyfish - Ive had that when in Hong Kong - shredded jellyfish salad. Didnt taste much different to calamari tbh.

Hello

I've had some insect with big wings whilst I was in China.

I have eaten dog in Vietnam.

And I was shown but did not partake in live Monkey brains whilst in China.

Roasted grasshoppers in Oaxaca, Mexico. Ordered these local delicacies as a starter to be brave but couldn't eat more than a handful as they were really dry and kept staring at me! Another treat is that their legs get stuck between your teeth.

The waiter misunderstood my intentions and left the unfinished mound of 'hoppers on the table throughout the meal. Lovley.

mines got to be when i was little in Hong Kong: snake skin soup, supposedly its good for your skin, here you are ladies heres a secret for great skin lol.

had shark fin soup a couple of time, that doesn't taste too bad, tastes kind like chicken (then again what doesn't taste like chicken)lol

unclebuck

Just to lower the tone.... It would have to be stale Vag Pie...ooo...not good...

The Chosen One:

Did you see them kill the snake? Whilst I was in Hong Kong I went to a snake shop, and they cracked the snakes head on the floor splatting blood everywhere. Delightful.

They then slit the snake open to remove it's Gallbladder and ate it. I assume the rest ended up in your food ......

Lived there for 3 years as a kid. In Kowloon Market there was a guy who sat outside his restaurant and would pick a snake out of a basket, bit its head off, spit the head in another basket and then drain the blood from the still moving body. He would do quite a few of these and all the tourists would be taking pics.

As for Hong Kong being grim, heres a few more stories.

How about going to the market with ur mum. She asks for a chicken, they pluck one from a cage, slits its neck with a meat cleaver and put it in a carrier bag for you. Then you get to carry it home with warm blood dripping from the bag - nice.

Or in (yet another) market we see a big ring of people around a stall. My dad takes a look (as Im too short to see over) and tells me nothing is happening. Me being a curious kid, sneaks off when the olds aint looking and crawls under the legs of all the other people until I get to the front. There I see a bloke with a massive live turtle, hacking the top of its shell off with a cleaver as the poor thing is clambering to get away, then hacking its guts out and ripping the rest out with his bare hands in a spray of blood. The crowd were roaring and love it because it shows the turtle meat is totally fresh. I felt like puking my guts up after seeing the life drain out of the turtles eyes. Then found my mum and asked her to call the RSPCA - she just turned to me and said dont be daft this is HK.

Still one of the worst things Ive witnessed to date.

Come on. There must be some other disgusting stuff people have sampled around the world?

boxst - dog? FFS :reallyangryface:

Luke

Dog......... Its realy makes you fart and smell the next day.

boxst

midget1500:

I didn't know it was dog at the time. I went to a business dinner and there was lots of food.

I casually asked what all the dishes were, and someone told me. It actually tasted quite nice. Although I don't personally agree with it, revulsion at eating dog is strange as dogs are really no different to cows or sheep when it comes to food. Chickens of course deserve to die.

Mr.Cookie

dad of a girl i used to work with did alot of bussiness in middle east, story goes that they went to this very exclusive resturant waiter brought out lcal delicasy only to reveal a live monkey gripped in a vice by the head under the cloche, which he then remove to part of head so they could eat the YUMMY warm brains with extra long tea spoons, not my story don't know if it's true but i wasn't the only one who'd heard it from her or her family members

Guinea Pig.

It was quite nice.

My Dad once made pig's head soup for us,

He utilised a reduced price Pig's head he obtained from Morrisons as it was short on date, to make stock. Unfortunately he couldn't filter out all the brains from the soup.

Truly the stuff of nightmares and phobias. 20 yrs later I can still remember the taste.

Sheepsplitter

There was a bird from Shefield once, she was gross, but I was pissed.

How on earth can you eat the brain of a live monkey? Was it strapped into a big chair and they cut its head open for you and you spooned its brains out while it thrashed about?? How many spoonfulls did it take to die? Urgh.

Even if it was a dead monkey, its gross

Winkles / mussels are FOUL! Never again!

fatherpierre

Mussells are nice and full of protein.

Bit gritty, though

Brendan Hughes

I can't personally match any of the above. Freshly slaughtered goat in Mongolia, cooked by putting hot rocks into its body cavity, is nothing on you guys. And considering how close monkeys are to humans, I find the above story pretty awful.

Have just finished watching Ray Mears Extreme Survival about some guy adrift on a raft for 3 mths in the Atlantic. Apparently he would catch fish and the best bit was to pluck out their eyes immediately and eat them.
