Disgusting Food You've Tried

Daring people of NotePD! Last week, I went to the Disgusting Food Museum in Berlin. Since I grew up in a different upbringing than Germany/Europe, I realized I have a different concept of what is disgusting food for me. (Durian vs stinky cheese, for example). What my German friend and I agree on, however, is that food created with extreme animal suffering is a definite no-go (looking at foie-gras).

I am curious to read your list of disgusting food or food that other people think is disgusting but for you, is normal. Also, would love to hear what you thought of the food!

Every culture has food that is different. I can recall the catastrophic cooking experiments that I tried when I was younger.....shudder. These are the top three disasters.

    1. Deep

    0

    Fried Durian Durian is a notoriously smelly fruit native to Southeast Asia. It is pungent and has a strong smell that can be offputting to those who are not used to it. Despite its smell and texture, durian has a unique flavor, which is why some people choose to deep fry it. Deepfried durian has a crunchy outside and a creamy inside, making it an interesting and unique dish that can be enjoyed by those who are brave enough to try it.

    1. Worms in the Forest

    0

    Eating worms from the forest is a unique experience that I have tried. It sounds disgusting, but the worms are actually quite flavorful and have a crunchy texture. They are easily found in the soil, so all you need is a stick and some patience to find them. It's a great way to get some protein without having to buy food from the store.

Very interesting entries so far in this thread! And here are the ones I've tried, some by reference to the one on display at the Disgusting Food museums.

What I've learned is

  1. Sometimes the food we categorized as disgusting is just something we're not used to eating (bugs, inner part).
  2. It is disgusting when the texture / smell reminds you of something bad (rotten food, stinky feet, etc)
  3. Perhaps the food itself isn't disgusting, but how we got to the food is (how we treat the animal, or how we prepared it)
  4. If the food isn't actually food, but it's just laden with a bunch of chemicals (preservatives, unnecessary substances).

    1. Roquefort Cheese

    Growing up in Indonesia, the only cheese I'm familiar with is processed cheddar. Very mild, completely tasteless by European standard. I've been trying to get into the cheese culture and I am getting on quite good, but of all the five cheeses, I could only eat the roquefort. As you see my expression when I'm about to smell the next one.

None of these are "normal" for me but i don't mind being adventurous especially when trying new cusines. However these ones generally did not get tried a second time. Also a high proportion of these are Dim Sum tries for whatever reason.

    Actually the smell wasn't what got in my way. But the taste just did not hit my taste buds right. Instant spit out every time

Some of these are really disgusting, others are only disgusting to most Americans.

    1. Taiwanese stinky tofu

    It smells horrible, and I have childhood memories of smelling it from a block away in the street markets of Taipei, but it sure is delicious.

    I was once told by a girl I worked with that I smelled like durian. This was in the 90s when I lived in NYC and would go to Chinatown and buy it. It's a fruit from Southeast Asia. Smells like rotting garbage but supposedly tastes great.
