The Six Grodiest Foods I’ve Tried So Far

by Tracy on October 29, 2009

Or, I’m sick, it’s almost Halloween, yeah, I think I’ll do a round up list post. Click on the links to read the full posts!

Haggis in a Can

This one ultimately wasn’t that disgusting, but I only got to the point where I could eat it by convincing myself it was just like black pudding. That might not work for everyone.

Pork Brains in Milk Gravy

I’m not one of those bloggers that gets a lot of hate mail, but this post has gotten me a few indignant replies. Don’t knock it til you try it, they say. Yeah, well don’t be getting all pissy at me until you’ve read my dang post and see that I almost puked just dipping my finger in the brain juice. So I did try it. Oooh, scuzz.

Okay, as a person who eats and enjoys Spam on occasion I have to say you are setting yourself up for a LIFE OF MISERY if you can’t find a way to make peace that people are going to mock your choice in canned goods. That is something my life coach taught me and I am sharing it with you all <– see, THAT’S why I should win good mood blogger.

Chicken in a can

This is the most viewed post on my blog. The funny thing is, I think if I’d been able to just pull the chicken out of the can as I’d planned instead of having to pour it out, the post wouldn’t have been nearly as popular. Handling the chicken was pretty disgusting, but the taste wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t good, either. Really the taste wasn’t there.

Cheeseburger in a can

I wasn’t the first person by far to taste and post this, but as far as I know I am the only one who served it with spring mix and a blood orange garnish.

Fish and Cheese Sausage

I tried this one earlier this week. I still have that phantom old dried fish powder smell stuck in my nose.

Silkworm Pupa in a Can

I don’t know why I wasn’t content just to let my brother try this one, but after we taped this, I went and tried one and prompted yakked in the sink. Oy, I think it was the hot dog water smell that made me sick.

GRODY!

Each more grody than the last.

Your brother is cute and brave. I love hearing you laughing off-camera.

I’m not very brave when it comes to grody food. I’d have to say the worst was black pudding, which is funny, considering you imagined the horrifying haggis in a can to be black pudding to get thru eating it. And I was a guest at a dinner and HAD to eat it. I don’t remember what I thought of. Probably dying.

Like I told you before, having a Korean mom changes everything! Check out Stuff Korean Moms Like. It will explain a lot about me.

The cheeseburger in a can was just dreadful. I couldn’t even look at the pictures. I’ve tried the silkworm pupa before and I have to agree that it does taste like dirt.

My first roommate’s mom was Korean. Through her I learned to love bibimbap and this delicious sweet and spicy dried cuttlefish snack. My roommate and I would eat huge jars of it that her mom would prepare for us.

I glanced at your other blog too, it’s great! I’ve known several women with Korean moms, and I think you’re right, they’d all benefit from therapy. =) My mom’s Chinese, and another friend’s dad is Japanese. It’s hard growing up Hapa in this country, it’s especially hard trying to understand your Asian parent’s heritage and customs when they differ from that of all your friends. I love my Chinese mom, but I was in my mid 20s before I began to understand her.

Eeeugh… errm, “nice” pictures.

You remind me of “Steve don’t eat it!” In case you don’t know what that is, here’s my favorite one:

These are truly some of the grodiest foods that I’ve ever seen. This is a great motivator to lose weight. I’ll come take a look when I get hungry. That way I’ll lose my appetite and remain on my diet LOL :-D

Hmmm … come to think of it, the Korean women I know also complain about their moms. Maybe it’s the moms who could use therapy!

Lordy, you are brave! I don’t know if I could have sampled half of this stuff … and I consider myself an omnivore!
