Grossest thing you ever ate...

[_Imwashingmypirate]

What is the big deal about mayo around here? I love mayo but try to limit it. When I eat out and order fries, I dip my fries in mayo, a habit I picked up in Germany.

Totally disgusting. Totally love it!

I prefer ketchup with fries but big fat chips with mayo. I don't eat much mayo unless on sandwhiches or MacDonalds Chicken sandwhich. I love toast with mayo tomato and lettus. I would hate mayo on it's own.

I loathe mayo, but miracle whip is far, far, worse.

Now homemade mayonnaise is another thing altogether and very good.

I also avoid most organ meats, but beef heart can be good, as can scrambled eggs and brains.

Worst things?

Duck feet. Too gristly.

Cow uterus and pork bung. Had I not known what they were, I might have not been as appalled. Still, they had that rubbery organ texture.

The green and blue rotted egg that is usually called "1000 year old egg" or something. It was the gelatinous texture that did me in.

Mayo is disgusting!

So is Miracle Whip and mustard.

The two grossest things I ever ate were served by a sushi chef. Sea Urchin sushi, and Salmon Roe (eggs) sushi. I've eaten a lot of gross things in my life, but I nearly lost it. I barely dipped my chopstick into the brown, muddy sea urchin and wanted to vomit.

Ray, pass me one of those cigars, mate.

I'm feeling nauseous just reading about some of this food.

I've never eaten organ meat but I'm pretty sure I could not get it down. In fact I don't think I could get it into my mouth.

I'm with Blixa on mayo... homemade with olive oil is excellent but it is not even in the same category as the store bought stuff with who knows what in it.

I don't get the whole caviar thing either... one summer as a teenager, I worked in a salmon cannery in Alaska and, lets just say fish eggs will never enter my mouth. EVER!

Compared to some of the food described in this thread I'm thinking slimy oatmeal wouldn't be all that bad. LOL!

Oh another thing that I ate recently that grossed me out.... I rarely eat potato chips, and on the rare occasions I do they are organic, cooked in olive oil with pepper. Anyway, I saw a package of chips that looked really good and used recycled packaging material so I assumed they were of a natural, healthy variety and bought them to try. Well, I took one bite and nearly threw up, I actually had to spit out the chip. I looked at the ingredients and they were cooked in LARD.

DISGUSTING!

...goat face.

Of course this happened when I was a missionary. I was serving in a very poor area of El Paso, Texas. A woman we were teaching invited us over for dinner. When we got there, she was by the stove, scraping meat and stuff from a boiled goat's head. Served with tortillas. It wasn't so much the taste as the texture that bothered me.

Goat Face?

Ewwww! That's possibly as nasty as mayo.

Elephant's trunk. Actually, I didn't eat it, but it sat there like a steaming hot jelly roll, didn't smell good, and still had hairs sticking out all over it. This was at an expensive international smorgasbord in LA in the mid 80's. I spent more time at the French pastry table.
