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.

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).

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.

Nope - I just don’t go there - I may be adventurous- but not with my food

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

Everything But the OINK!

I am a bit weird, as regards unconventional food. Here are some things I have tried.

These three are the most disgusting foods that I've tried that come to mind.

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!
