"Nastiest" food you have personally eaten
Since the TS's thread seems slightly hijacked onto nasty and smelly food items, I thought this thread might be needed.
What is the nastiest, ugliest, smelliest, weirdest, most gross thing that you have eaten or seen eaten. Then please comment as to whether it was actually good or not.

Cooked cow ears, covered in some type of Cambodian bbq sauce was one of the more disgusting *sounding* things I've ever eaten.....but it tasted great.

1993, USMC, SgtMajor invited a handful of NCOs over to his house for dinner where his wife served a very undercooked, large slab of beef liver. It scarred me for life.

Rattlesnake -- tastes like chicken
Fish eyes - helps your vision, hard to chew
Curried fish jaw - so hot it was good
Durian - foul fruit smells for days, but I like it
Ants - did not care for them
Crickets - did not care for them
Spam - nasty stuff

In Thailand some people had a noisy mutt. A friend of mine couldn't sleep at night and politely asked them if they would control their dog. They ignored him.
One night he invited the neighbors over for diner. They said the diner was sure good and asked what it was.
"Your dog!", he replied.

Marmite. Blackish/brown foul-smelling spread. Tastes wonderful if used sparingly on toasted full-grain bread and butter. SPARINGLY! I've seen confused countrymen spread it like peanut butter and then complain about how it tasted. 
Wolf. Tasted like... well, I can't really describe it. It was good with some marinade. The off-putting thing was that the head was sitting just across the room from where we were eating, it seemed as if it was watching us.
Steak Tartar. Raw minced steak mixed with egg. It's a delicacy and looks and smells great, is eaten on toast. In moderation, it's excellent, but where I ate it they served large portions and I was not disposed to insulting the people I was eating with by not finishing. I was served just over a pound of it. Halfway through I felt ill. Afterwards, I had to puke. Safe to say now I stay the hell away from it!
Foie Gras. Goose liver pate. Many people are put off by the smell of it, and depending on how it's cooked it can look absolutely disgusting, like a loaf of alien flesh. However, when on some warm brioche or in a salad with truffles, it's superb.

Growing up on my Grandparent's farm, chitlins, hog brains and eggs, fish roe and eggs, tripe, scrapple.
Grub worms during survival training.
Haggus.
The absolute worst?
Balut, hands down.

Haggus is fairly nasty stuff.
What do grub worms taste like and did you prepare them, or just gulp 'em down?
Thank you,
Solid

Ants - Roycroft has had them I know. Very good.
Just had Haggis at Burns night this year - not bad, but I wouldn't make a meal of it. More of an appetizer.
Hogshead cheese - very good with beer and crackers, especially with a hangover
Posssum - bad juju.
Raccoon - requires proper preparation
Grubs and other assorted protein - Survival phase Mmmm
Snake - Rattler I like, boa not so much
Monkey on a stick - Mmm
Iguana - Mmmm
Cow Udder - Roycroft?
Dove and Quail - good
Crow and Pigeon - not so good.
SPAM - doesn't belong in the thread. Delicacy.
