Need to get her some of this then http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/11405599/Marmite-launches-body-paint-for-Valentines-Day.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/11405599/Marmite-launches-body-paint-for-Valentines-Day.html) :p

Scrapple

I'd eat that! And I think there was a dirty jobs episode that included scrapple.

I'll think about it but I'm sure I could source some, I've got a few online stores I want to order some organ meats from anyway and they usually require a minimum poundage and I bet they offer scrapple.

Not really gross, but I love 'em and people have called each of those things gross to me.

I eat so many weird and smelly foods... my fiancée is very British in the sense of her palette. It makes me super sad that I can't share the wealth of yummy foods!

Some of my favorites:

I'm salivating now. Thanks.

Yeah Durian is just too strange for me. Oddly enough the first couple times I tried it, I liked it. Then something changed and it started smelling like sour onions mixed with hot garbage to me. Never again.

I'm filipino and I love eating balut (google it if you don't know what it is) whenever I go back to the Philippines to visit family etc. A LOT of people that I've talked to about this dish find it disgusting that I would eat something like that, but honestly I don't find it too bad (it's actually really nice IMO). I kind of just see it as how you would see a cooked roast chicken, but instead of being cooked in an oven it's cooked within its own egg.

I could never get on the black licorice train, but It's always annoying when people act like I'm gross for drinking black coffee.  I was in line at Dunkin' Donuts this morning, and the person in front of me was ordering a coffee with extra cream/sugar.  I wanted to ask them if they wanted any coffee with their sugar, but I know coffee preferences vary greatly and would never fault anyone for drinking what they like. Just don't hate on black coffee!

i like the egg with salt (westerners should be able to eat this provided they weren't grossed out beforehand), but the yolk (white part) is terrible.. taste aside, it feels like a worm crawling in my mouth each time i try it

on the topic of eggs, quail eggs rank amongst my favorite food, though i've never seen it in Europe or North America

The yellow part (what turns into the embryo) is the yolk. Quail eggs are pretty common in the South. I used to buy them by the jar (pickled) in gas stations where I used to live.

I know lots of places in the south where the gas station doubles as a restaurant/eatery and grocery/surplus store because it is the only store.

durians have quite the strong odor, only fruit i know of to be banned in hotels. another asian specialty is the pupa, basically a developed larva. it tastes disgusting as it looks, yet remains a relatively popular food, especially for old people with weak teeth.

i chose a fairly tame image, but don't click if you're easily grossed out. i squirmed a bit myself looking for a decent photo: http://i.imgur.com/pbbzpSE.jpg

There was a guy at my office who ate one. Didn't smell so nice.

Honestly the ones I've had never smell, but maybe that's because I only ever have them when they're freshly made, which only smells like the average boiled egg + salt. I have seen balut packaged in a can which I assume, as with call canned food, would taste like ass when compared to ones that are freshly cooked

I'm filipino and I love eating balut (google it if you don't know what it is) whenever I go back to the Philippines to visit family etc. A LOT of people that I've talked to about this dish find it disgusting that I would eat something like that, but honestly I don't find it too bad (it's actually really nice IMO).

balut is definitely one of the stranger foods I've heard of, never tried it though.

Man if you ever go to the Philippines you should definitely try it. I would recommend having one from a restaurant that serves them rather then the ones that are sold by street vendors because the majority of my non filipino friends that I've made taste balut made by street vendors didn't go down so well for them, even though I turned out perfectly fine eating the same thing :))

I think very few people think mini-lobsters are gross..


Although, I'm not a shellfish fan in general, cuz they remind me of roaches.. with the 2 antennae

"mini lobsters aren't gross. mini lobsters are gross."

Sardines ugh.. it's just not good.. LOL,  that's why it's usually sold strongly pre-flavored..
You’re crazy. Sardines are delicious. You want to get the kind packed in good olive oil though, with the bones and skin included. You can usually find 5–6 different good brands at any Italian deli/grocery, or the ones they sell at Costco are also pretty good. Try a few different brands/types to figure out what you like. “Pre-flavored” probably just means “bad”.

I love guacamole.  With steak?  Sounds delicious.

Natto beans with raw egg and rice.  Other people cringe from its sticky consistency and smell, but I love it.

What I can't eat is stinky tofu.  The taste is OK, but it smells like poop and makes me gag.

Yesterday night we went to a local Japanese restaurant for dinner.  This place is more authentic and is run by an old Japanese guy.  We've seen Japanese company men meeting here for dinner and drinks for the couple of times we've been here.

For yesterday's dinner, we ordered amaebi, which is sweet shrimp sushi.  We ordered this because they had these huge live shrimp (about 7 inches long) in a tank in the front of the restaurant.  When getting amaebi from other Japanese restaurants, it was always a piece of sushi rice with a raw shrimp tail on top, and a deep fried shrimp head. 

This time the amaebi arrived on a huge plate.  There were the usual raw shrimp tails on top of sushi rice pieces, and also the huge shrimp heads from those large shrimp from the tank.  But these shrimp heads weren't deep fried... and they were still moving.  They were the entire front parts of the shrimps and were stood up on the plate, with head, eyes, legs, and antennae.  And everything was moving.  We were a little freaked out, haha.  I moved the plate off to the other side of the table until the shrimp stopped moving, which was more than a couple of minutes.  I felt pretty bad for the shrimp.  Later on the waitress came by and asked if we wanted to have the heads deep fried or made into a soup.  We chose the soup.

Very interesting, but a little too authentic and fresh for us.  Fresh is always ideal, but I don't need to see that much proof about how fresh something is.  I love to eat shrimp, but I think I will take a short break from eating shrimp, haha.

Mayonnaise seems like a good house divider.

Especially on fries or eggs.

Speaking of, ketchup on eggs.

 I think someone mentioned, but proper barbacoa (cheek meat) and beef tongue as well.  Someone else just has to peel the tongue first.

i love mayo with fries.

and i like beef tongue as long as it's sliced/chopped up so it doesn't look like a tongue.

Growing up around Boston it's grounds for a fight not putting mayonnaise on a burger. Riots have been started over mustard and Miracle Whip.

I don't eat it too often anymore but I enjoy tripe (extra crispy) tacos.

I tried getting it in a burrito but the manager wanted to charge $10 because it shrivels up - so I'd be taking 3-4 servings more than other meats.  Well after one burrito I decided it would be good mixed 50/50 with Lengua (Tongue).  It's too much for an entire large burrito.

"gross" foods I want to still try but haven't summoned the courage are Liver Mush and Headcheese.

For some reason my wife is grossed out by me eating this, the kids however really liked it.

...by the way, I love Braunschwager. I think most people are "grossed" out by foods because they think they are supposed to react that way or they have been (indirectly) trained to react negatively to foods that they haven't had before. Just watch TV sometime...

Would like to add sauerkraut. I probably can't be friends with you if you don't like it, in fact.

Also, tendon in my phở.

I cannot get down with chicharrones though. The slimier the worse.

My roommate got me into it.  I still get weird looks though.  But it's so good.

It's best by itself. Not all Braunschweiger is the same. As much as I like it some brands I can barely choke down. Kroger brand is what I usually get.

I just try it different ways. Typically just slice a few pieces and eat it.

The other day I put some in the food processor with some garlic stuffed green olives, some mayo and a few spices. It was good on crackers and toast.
