These foods are very ugly and I've never eaten any of them, but I'd be willing to try them, if I ever ran across them. I'll bet some of you forum members have pictures of even uglier foods? Am I right?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/top-10-ugliest-foods?GT1=47001
A balut is a fertilized duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Yes that's ugly and I don't want to try it either. Also I wouldn't eat the following disgusting canned food. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I guess they don't carry chayote squash in supermarkets further north? it's my fave kind of summer squash now, has a texture rather like an apple, and the pit tastes a little salty. Huitlacoche...is corn smut. Corn smut, BTW, can be cooked like any regular mushroom and is nummy. So if you find any farmer complaining his crop's infested with corn smut, that's good eatin'.
Corn smut, is that some kind of moldy fungus infection? If I see the smallest spot of mold on my bread I throw out the whole loaf. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
What do you know about Caldo de cardan soup? I love soups, but I don't think I could even give it a try. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I'm gonna have to say a century egg is nastier. ....preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green to grey colour, with a creamy consistency and an odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, translucent jelly with little flavor Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
That reminds me of a story my cousin told me about while he was in the navy over in Vietnam. He said they would bet each other $20.00 that they could eat one of those century eggs. I said you couldn't get me to even try for less than a thousand dollars. He replied that there was a trick to eating them. You had to punch a small hole in one end and get your mouth over the hole without smelling it. Then you could suck it down. However if you messed up and smelled it, there was no way you could do it.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Cow stomach (beef tripe), Does anybody really eat this stuff? I seen it in stores, but the thought of paying good money for it nauseates me.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The first time I tried uni, I didn't like it. I was paying too much attention to the consistency, the 'mouth feel'. But I felt I owed it to myself to make sure I really didn't like it, and then, it turned out I did. When fresh, it's a taste like the sea itself.
I'm not a big fan of uni, even after trying it a few times. The creamy texture is interesting, but there's something about the flavour that I dislike.
As fruits and veggies go, the Durian is an 'interesting' candidate for this list . We actually even bring them up to the store where I work. We have a significant ethnic population, and I believe that they are the target market. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian Apologies to KJ. I should have looked at your link PRIOR to posting, as I see it is #10 on that list. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I think the chicken embryo takes the prize so far . Crawdaddies look mighty good to Me and are not at all ugly . They are kind of ginger like with there redness , so I can understand why people would think them ugly . You bastards . That pour little seal . You sea urchin eaters would probably club it and eat it too . I have eaten some strange stuff in my life . Sea urchin straight out of a tide pool takes the cake . Limpets are quite nasty . Mussels I lived on for about 3 days one time . No thanks lost my appetite after the end of the 2nd day . Could not choke em down after that . Snake is not bad . A little rubbery . Fish eggs . You can have mine Alex . One thing I learned when i lived on the streets . When your hungry enough everything edible is pretty good . I don't know if i could eat the chicken embryo ?
If you like crawdads, maybe a plate steamed bugs will also be to your liking? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I have century eggs in my refrigerator, they're yummy if you get good ones. Nice in rice soup. I prefer with white vinegar, salt, soy sauce and have with a beer. As for the duck embryo, that would make me barf, but, if offered some, I'd be a good guest and eat it.
