I know, I know, Korean smoked rat.... it tastes like chicken...

[Las Vegas Ron]

You know how to eat a frog?

[dynachrome]

“Korean penis fish or smoked rat”

Maybe if it had a prettier name....

[pabianice]

Tell me about it. Even the smell of cooked lobsters and crabs makes me sick to my stomach.

[Responsibility2nd]

This'll make you puke.

I’m a meat broker and sell some overseas.

Pig bungs right now are close to a buck a lb. I could sell you pork loins for a few cents more.

[ComputerGuy]

Ever since 'Nam, my idea of roughing it is a night or three at the Hyatt.

[Ditter]

Yuck! Those shows on cable TV where they eat bugs and worms and sh*t make me puke, or they would if I watched them.

[ezo4]

Ive seen some things in the street markets of Hong Kong that deify description.

[nickcarraway]

Balut is good...you have to try it.

[mmercier]

nothing ruins a meal faster than watching the creepy zimmerman freak eat maggots.

i never eat anything that tries to crawl out of the pan after breading.

[knittnmom]

Deify?

[mmercier]

i love people like you.

more for me.

thank you in advance for your future abstinence.

[glorgau]

There is NOTHING more foul than Durian fruit.

[magslinger]

Balut is good...you have to try it.

No, they aren't. I cannot imagine ever being hungry enough to eat my second one.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“There is NOTHING more foul than Durian fruit.”

Today was Phuket and fish stomach sauce. Fish stomachs, rock salt and squeeze into bottle. Let sit a month.

Personally for me it’s cottage cheese that makes me sick.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

No, they aren't. I cannot imagine ever being hungry enough to eat my second one.

I saw a documentary once on the Bataan Death March. One of the survivors said that the Japanese would offer them roaches, slugs, all sorts of nasty things to eat. The ones who couldn't take it died. The guy who survived said he just thought of sustenance, not whatever he was eating.

[goseminoles]

Zimmern and Bourdaine are my favorites. I like weird stuff and will try everything once except for maybe those big round stinky fruit, or those things in the water that squirt. Oh, I forgot the shark that sits out in the sun for 3 weeks,.
