What is the nastiest food you have ever eaten or seen?

Last week Blondie and I were shopping the frozen meat section of the store and I was joking about the frozen chitterlings as usual when I noticed a small brick of stuff called Scrapple.

I was intrigued to know what was in it, as I usually am when I see foods that have completely anonymous names that do not indicate the type of ingredients that they consist of.

Anyways, here's what scrapple is...

Wikipedia said:
Scrapple is a savory mush in which cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour, are simmered with pork scraps and trimmings, then formed into a loaf. Small scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste, a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, eyes, heart, liver, bladder, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others, are added. The mush is cast into loaves, and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Commercial scrapple often contains these traditional ingredients, with a distinctive flavor to each brand, though homemade recipes often specify more genteel cuts of pork, with a consequently blander taste. A few manufacturers have introduced beef and turkey varieties.

Then to top it all off, today I was at a party on campus here at SSU and I saw a crockpot of collards with a curly piece of unidentifiable meat in it. I asked and was informed that it was the pig tail. Of course someone (not me) grabbed it and threw a little hot sauce on it as they do every year.


So what are some of the gross or nasty foods that you have encountered in your time? Bonus points if you have eaten something nasty :fly:

alligator is chewy, I didn't like the texture at all.

I had octopus ("pulpo") for the first time on the Yucatan peninsula in a sopa de pescado.

Quail rules, had some braized quail last august in Cordele, GA....fresh from the fields.

I got some goat chops last time I visited Ohio to see my Grandfather-in-law. It was...tough.
 
Vegemite is probably the nastiest thing I have ever tasted.

Of course I made my Australian friend try peanut butter and she thought I was insane for liking that.....so I guess it is all up to what your taste buds are used to tasting.

A lot of it is cultural. If you grow up with something it won't seem gross but others will think otherwise depending on their culture and upbringing. Italians eat a lot of weird stuff and I thought it was normal until I went to school and people started making fun of the gross stuff I was eating.

That's why food is such a good way to experience someone else's culture. I'll try anything once, and most things several times before I decide I don't like it.
 
The worst thing I have ever tried was freshly pumped semen. Wait, no... I actually liked that. <gay joke reference now satisfied>

Actually the dish featuring haggis is probably the worst I have seen/smelt/eaten. It is a vile conconction that only men without pants in the dead of winter would dream of making.

I've wanted to just see and smell it once. I think that would cause me to break my rule of I'll try anything once. I don't think I could bring myself to try haggis.

Closest thing I've had is tripe. I also just reminded myself of when my Grandpa used to boil beef tongue and make a sandwich out of it. Fat blue tongues floating in a pot of boiling water, now that's cookin'!
 
I've eaten tons of interesting foods. Haggis, squab (pigeon), goat. I'll try almost anyhting once
