Looks like the cat is going to get away!

[WinMod70]

The Century Egg would be at #1 on my list.

......and lived to tell about it.....................

I dont eat rotting food.

Pickles are not rotting cucumbers. Pickling in vinegar prevents rotting.

I dont eat rotting beef. The actual rot is trimmed from aged beef before serving.

Only the skin of cheese rots, and that is trimmed off.

I’m thinking that fried Boudain balls might be a fun thing to have.

Boudain and Haggis are close cousins.

Only the skin of cheese rots, and that is trimmed off.

In my younger days I went to Europe and was served a cheese with my meal. Being a typical American, I had not come across a cheese with a 'skin' that had to be removed. I simply ate the cheese and its skin. It tasted horrible. Not wanting to embarrass myself or call attention to myself in a restaurant, I just chewed it all up and swallowed it. It wasn't until a few days later that I found out that you were supposed to remove the skin before eating the cheese............

[Vendome]

Ah, I’ve eaten everything.

Cow Tongue, Scrambled Cow blood, Tripe, crickets....

All good stuff...

[Little Ray]

They left out pepperoni and summer sausage which are “fermented” sausages.

[Red Badger]

As is Andouille made in France, not American Louisiana type.................

[Red Badger]

I’m gonna have to try it sometime. Probably won’t find it in Publix, though...................

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

To these, you can add rotten drinks, such as beer, wine and buttermilk.

Full disclosure: I love beer. Wine and buttermilk can go pound sand.

[Little Ray]

Nuoc Mam is actually pretty good; has a relatively light flavor.

And don’t forget Worcestershire sauce - made from well rotted anchovies!

[Roos_Girl]

Yep, called lactofermented. I just made a big batch of them. :) You can also use whey in the salt brine to ferment them.

[IamConservative]

I’ve eaten a lot things in my life, but I think Ima pass on a fish head that has been rotting in a dirt hole.

I always thought “Boudin” was Cajun for “if I told you, you wouldn’t eat it.”

[Red Badger]

Politics is like sausage. If you like either one, it’s best that you don’t watch it being made.......

[elcid1970]

Had Nuoc Mam over their broiled shrimp-on-a-stick - it was good.

The countryside of India is still littered with Lea & Perrins bottles left over from the British Raj. His Majesty’s soldiers needed the w’shire when their bully beef & mutton started to go a bit whiffy.

[laker_dad]

My home made sun pickles are crisp and spicy. Rotten cucumbers are mushy.

[kevkrom]

One of the oldest “rotted” foods is completely left off this list: sourdough bread.

[aomagrat]

I don’t see balut on that list.

[Red Badger]

Must not be that bad...................
