"Nastiest" food you have personally eaten

[Jo Sul]

The unidentifiable crap they fed me in China - made me sick for a week. Oh yeah, the pickled chicken feet were pretty nasty too.

[QRQ 30]

Had cobra blood at a Thai SF graduation party in Kanchunaburi. It was just as Magician described. He may have forgotten that the Mekong (local liquor) was hot and packed a real wallop.

At the same party they served monitor lizard. I popped mine into my mouth and ate it. I saw the looks on the Thai's faces and realized I was just supposed to pull off the legs and eat them.

Probably the grossest was walking through the markets. Various soups and curries were cooked in those square 3 gal. tin buckets. They were covered with flies and looked gross but actually were pretty good.

On the trains, venders went up and down the isles selling roasted canaries.

Shortly before this pic was taken, two lambs were slaughtered, gutted and put onna spit over an open fire. Before the spit had made two full turns, the Iranian SF soldiers had their version of K-Barsout and were cutting slabs of meat offa the still cold carcasses. And offering them to us'ns!!!

We drank copious beer and cognac to wash that stuff down!!!!!

That stuff is nasty. Even the Japanese I worked with didn't eat it. But every year it would show up. It's something they pass off on others. Kinda like we do with fruitcake.

SPAM .. Little Mayo, slice of cheese, what a sandwich.

Grits, hate 'em. Not all Southern boys like them. Why eat that when you can have a plate of eggs over medium, bacon, cat head biscuits all smothered in milk gravy and a big ole glass of milk.

Joe K needs to jump in here. The last time that I saw him, he had some wicked pics of enormous insects that he had encountered in Cambodia...or was it Laos....maybe it was Burma. I forget. Does not matter. Bottom line: he took the photographs, and then showed the .... specimens to the villagers he had hired to help him.... so that they could eat them. Those people ate everything.

I was damaged by the photographs. Just knowing that other humans had consumed those creatures scarred me. Just knowing that those creatures existed....aside from my nightmares.....was bad enough. National Geographic has got NOTHING on Joe K.

Here is a photo of a guy's lunch. When I had an office at BIAP, the guys who screened everyone coming into the country used to come and hang out, periodically. I had coffee, and my secretary was hot. Guy can tell you about her. Anyway, one day, they saw this on the monitor as they were screening bags.

It turns out, a guy really liked goat head. So he wrapped one up, and he stuck it in his luggage, and he brought it with him so he could eat it later.

It was one of those things that you would never believe unless you saw the photo.

Yep. Looks tough to photoshop that too, although I suppose it is possible.

While going through a survival school (1965), I learned a great many things, rabbits, snakes, white grub worms, etc, etc, will keep you alive.

During the grub eating phase we were all given the choice of eating a large white grub which had little hooks on its legs. Some of the guys had trouble swallowing them as they would attempt to hang on with the aforementioned hooks, the choice was to have one's grub cooked to order. I was the smart ass who volunteered to have mine cooked, the look on the instructor's face was priceless, and I knew immediately that I had stepped on my peepee.

My grub was cooked in the same rancid grease that had been there since the original class, I presume that once in awhile they would additional grease to the pot. It was the worst tasting thing I had ever experienced, I tried desperately not to get sick, to no avail! I was the only one to get sick!

LESSON LEARNED!!

I was in the airport the day that the screeners all went apeshit laughing their asses off over this.

[TerribleTobyt (RIP)]

Speakin of screeners-I did that for a short time in the early '90s here in San Antone International.

Y'all should see how somma the sex toys show up on the color xray m'chine!!!!!



Now back to the nasty shit to eat!!!!!!!

[mumbleypeg]

If you make camp with bedouins the way they welcome you is with warm goat milk. I realize this is a drink in a food thread, but it tasted like shaved goat ass and turds and looked just like it. I had to smile and say "thanks for the hospitality you area kind and gracious host" all before I had a massive evacuation.

Damn, I think I might just have you all topped. Ufu is the American Indian word for the partially digested food remaining inside the stomach of a rabbit. Had to eat it at Survival school. It litterally is about half an inch from being shit. It has the consistency of copenhagen fine cut, but more tacky, and tastes like...well, shit. Worst damn thing I've ever seen, smelled, or eaten.
