Hey Foreigners! These are not a "delicacies" they're fücking sick!
 
Kind of in the spirit of Steve, Don't Eat It!, comes The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World.

Neither of those sites are for the weak of stomach and absolutely not for PETA members.
Spoiler:
A word about Lutefisk. Yes, it is gross-tasting, but after it's been removed from the lye bath, it is thoroughly rinsed in water to remove the lye so it is not toxic.

Well, maybe to your taste buds.... ;)

Lutefisk isn't so horrible though nothing particularly recommends it. Otherwise I haven't had the others but other than the aesthetics of seeing the food you eat as an animal I don't really see what is wrong with the pacha and balut (I've been in the presence of balut but didn't have the opportunity to try it).

I can't believe Natto didn't make the list!

And what about Vegemite?

Capt Jack 10-11-2007 12:27 PM

the wine is by far (IMO) the worst of this set

thanks. I'll be passing that on...then hiding

By comparison, downright edible.

Vegemite tastes sort of like a cross between creamy peanut butter and old musty drapes. I can guarantee you that unless held at gun point, I will never know what any of those culinary abortions tastes like.

Sons of Norway in the Valley is holding a lutefisk dinner in November. Anybody want to go with me? I had it as a kid, and kids hate everything, so I want to try it as an adult to see how it really is.

It's a delicacy... just ask a Scandinavian. :) Genetically, I should love it.

#1- escamoles- not even planning to try this. Deserves its place as terrifying.

#2- casa marzu- oh, hells no. Heard about this on the radio. People say it's not as bad as it sounds. It can't possibly be.... it sounds awful.

#3- Lutefisk - have eaten it. Didn't kill me. It does amuse me that the same chemical is used to make soap, clean drains, and process this stuff.

#4- the wine- WTH???? No. Just no. Nasty to think about, nasty to see how they do it, just no.

#5- sheep's head- not used to my food looking at me. I guess on the bright side it's not alive, but eewww.

#6- duck egg- my dad ate these when he was in the navy. Supposedly it's not bad. He said worse things about kimchi, which I've actually tried. That's its own category of wrong, but it wasn't bad.

Precisely why I have to hide my view if I'm with friends who are eating a full lobster or fish for dinner. ;)
