A certain movie theater's popcorn. And I normally LIKE popcorn!

Durian's not bad, it's not been milked out of some animals teats, then left in a cave until silky wavy moss (mold) grows in it.

Durian's big and spikey and grows in a tree, and it's like soursop but different, and so what if it has a funny smell.

There are some plants that are pollinated by flies, and smell like a friggin' dead horse, I know, we had plants like that out in front of one house I live in, and it smelled like there was a dead body nearby. Phew! And there were flies, pollinating away I guess, and if you sat still, you'd see there were lizards galore, clinging onto the plant and waiting to catch some of the flies. It was a regular drama. And good in spaghetti, the plant was like sage or bay, and we'd trim some and chop it up and put it in the spaghetti. Weird, huh?

Silk worm larvae in Korea! They are slowly simmered in big pots on the streets of Seoul and have a very unpleasant smell from far away even. I finally tried some and when biting on them the "pop" between your teeth. They don't taste as bad as they smell since they are seasoned. Yumm...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('I_Like_Plants', 'Y')ou know, I was going to add on here that blue cheese, the really good stuff with little caves in it you can see the silky moss growing in, has got to be about the worst thing people eat.

The worst thing I ever tried was head cheese. Liverwurst is kind of gross too. I had a chance to try Haggis but I turned it down. It looked gross.

[linlithgowoil]

haggis is awesome. i eat it almost every week with neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes).

i dont really have any foods that i hate - im not all that adventurous when it comes to food though, and i refuse to eat anything slimy like oysters etc. what is the point i ask myself?

my diet consists mainly of cereal, orange juice, tea/coffee, brown bread, apples, bananas, oranges, vegetables - especially potatoes, some fish, chicken and beef. simple stuff.

TRUE STORY:

When I was 12 or 13 years old I went with my parents, brother, sister and a few family friends on a trip to Colorado for our summer vacation (we're from Texas). One day we stopped to have lunch in a small town in southwest Colorado called Creede, an old mining town located just over Wolf Creek Pass from Durango. Creede was apparently pretty hot back during the silver rush, but now has just a few hundred residents and caters mainly to the summer tourist crowd.

We all sat down to eat at the main restaurant in town (probably the ONLY restaurant in town) which was a sort of old, darkish saloon/cafe. We were seated at a large, rustic, round wooden table--the kind where everybody can see everybody else. The menu was pretty limited from what I remember, and I'm not even sure exactly what I ordered (probably a hamburger), but I do remember that everybody got a small dinner salad to start off their meal.

The dinner salads arrived at the table...don't remember much about them, but they were probably those cheapo "diner salads"...you know...iceberg lettuce, a few carrot shards and one tasteless tomato wedge covered in thousand island dressing, served in a little imitation wooden bowl and containing not one ounce of nutrition. So here I am eating my salad.... eating.... eating.... when slowly it starts to dawn on me that one piece of "lettuce" in my salad is kinda hard to chew. No problem... I keep on chewing anyway...chewing... chewing...chewing... harder and harder... sorta like when you get a tough piece of steak you can't chew up but it's still too big to just swallow, and you don't want to embarrass yourself by reaching into your mouth or spitting it out at the table in front of everybody, so you just keep chewing.

So I go at this "piece of lettuce" even HARDER....really chewing and working on it, getting it nice and juicy with my saliva. At this point I've already swallowed everything else in my mouth besides the "tough piece of lettuce" so my tongue is now free to get a better feel of this "lettuce," explore its contours, probe its volume and density. And it is here that I begin to notice that this "lettuce" has a strange sort of texture, kind of rubbery or plasticy. It is now obvious that I am NOT going to be able to chew whatever-this-is up. So I quietly reach into my mouth and pull out....a BAND AIDE.

Everyone at the table, adults, kids, everybody, stops eating, looks up and sees me holding this Band Aide in the palm of my hand. And it is immediately apparent to all of us where this Band Aide has come from--it has fallen off one of the COOK'S FINGERS. Not to gross everybody out, but you really need to get a good picture of what we're talking about here. This wasn't just some little Band Aide that might have been covering a tiny scratch or mosquito bite. This Band Aide had obviously been used as first-aid for some deep cut or wound the cook had received in the kitchen, because the absorbent pad in the middle of the plastic/rubber strip was really bloody in the middle and then sort of yellow and pus-like as it expanded out and got crusty and brown around the edges. It was beyond nasty.

The funny thing is, since I was only a kid at the time I don't remember being all that grossed out by the incident, but when I looked up at the adults' faces, they were absolutely green. Everyone was completely fouled out. Needless to say the salad-eating came to an immediate halt. I think one of the adults even had to excuse herself from the table.

The strangest part--although we brought the situation to the waitress' attention, nothing was taken off our bill. I remember quite clearly that she only offered to "bring us another salad."

TA DA!!!!

Damn...talk about an anti-climax.

I thought I moved up from "Heavy Crude" at #101. When do I get my next promotion in rank?

[PenultimateManStanding]

chewing on a band-aid, yep, that's gross. I'd rather eat silkworm larvae. (at least it wasn't a condom in your salad think what the adults would have said to you the kid)

Chevy's "habanero" sauce. Tastes like spiced carrots that got crapped on.

Kent, welcome to small town amurrica.

From nasty half-cooked seafood to nasty undercooked eggs and bacon to various parts of the kitchen help, odds and ends and mice and roaches that fell in, the American small town cuisine is one to be missed.

Bird crap.

I was seven years old eating a cheeseburger while sitting under a large tree. The cheeseburger had gobs of mayonaise and relish. A big glob of bird crap fell on my arm from the tree. I thought it was the condiment mix from my burger so I proceeded to scoop it up with a finger.

Yummy!
