They say one man's trash is another man's treasure. The same could be said about food: one man's nightmare may just be another man's delicacy. From cow's tongue and pig's snout to chicken's feet, from fried worms and frog's legs to sautéed snails, the list of weird stuff we eat is endless.

I wondered when durian would come up! No thanks but my wife loves it.

I have 3 very large asian grocery stores in my town, one is Chinese, one Vietnamese, and one that is everything. Frozen is good, but nothing beats fresh and stinky from a roadside stand.

My favorite snack in Tijuana

[JoeProBono]

"Where oh where do you get frozen durian?"

At any 7/11

Durian is the nastiest “food” on the face of the planet. It smells like poop, looks like poop and tastes like poop. Of course, you can always eat durian as ice cream, in which case it smells and tastes like poop, but looks like ice cream.

People eat all kinds of strange stuff. All of us.
Just what is in a hot dog? But we love em.

I have had Hakarl in Iceland (#5) and it is so putrifyingly bad as to be difficult to describe. Like the taste you might expect from kissing a corpse. I had it in february 2003 in a hotel in myvatn during what was a food festival week of some sort (traditional foods), and while other items were unappealing, this one has stayed with me ever since. I no longer recall whether I was able to swallow or not. It was definitely something that gave my stomach the immediate urge to hurl.

Haggis can be very tasty. MacSween’s seems to be the best brand in Scotland that I have found. I make a point of having some every time I am there.

Yea, but you can’t blame them for wanting what seems to them to be progress.

[Doomonyou]

Unnngh!

Lots of it!

[boop]

Durian wasn’t as bad as I thought, given its reputation. It is almost impossible to open, you have to basically use a machete.

I think that album cover was the first time I ever lusted when I was a kid.

[Sto Zvirat]

Just means more durian for me!

Other asian fruit I love (that isn’t stinky), rambutans, lychees, longans, starfruit, dragonfruit, cherimoyas, sapotes, jackfruit, sapodilla, guyabana, mangosteen, wax apple, etc.

Great stuff, worth traveling for.

Kimchee
Macaroni and Cheese
Brunswick stew (appoligies to yall in the southeast, but ugh. Bad stuff)

NASTY.

[chemicalman]

Does anybody actually eat the stuff?

Yeah.
Hogs head cheese used to be made with the whole head of the hog, brains and all, boiled down to get every scrap of meat off. But the food police won't let anyone use the head anymore. So a good boston butt is used to make the cheese with gelatin added. (The head made a natural gelatin).

True enough.
