What's the most disgusting thing you've eaten?

[Supersuperleeds]

My dad loved tripe and chitlins when we were kids. None of us would eat them.

Not disgusting but certainly different

This is why I won't buy take-aways (apart from English owned fish and chip shops I know) and feel uneasy about restaurant food even if it's a 'posh' restaurant. I worked in a 'Good Food guide' listed one in the mid 1980's. Nothing as bad as you listed, but I saw sweat drip off the chef's head onto ready to go plated food and saw the dishwasher as in a person, not a machine, eating scraps off plates, before he scraped the rest into a bin before washing the plate.

Surely that's the best recommendation you can get if the staff eat their own food? 😂

I saw him eat half a tuna steak, with teeth marks on it!!!

I've just looked up "Tripe" on Wikimedia and I wish I hadn't. Apparently it's now considered to be dog food.

Twenty years ago my in laws used to feed it to their pit bull terrier and he loved it, there was a definite, 'no naked flames,' policy for the next couple of hours though.

Maybe as a kid he had ‘never waste food’ drummed into him by his parents like I did…… 🤣😳

A bit like me, eat with all kinds of crap on your hands and it builds up your immune system.

Tripe, trotters and brain are also very common in South Asian cuisine.

Trotters I like, but the other two, are horrid.

That reminds me of the bin man I saw in my window cleaning days. He ate a sandwich with the same hand he'd just been picking up used nappies with!!!

I once asked for a generous helping of bits of deep-fried brain at a buffet, under the impression that it was sprigs of deep fried cauliflower ... it wasn't too bad tbh but I was very disappointed in the texture - sort of soggy, not crunchy!

We had the same drummed into us, but the dog usually ate leftovers as many dogs did and still do. The former Mrs Accy used to catch me sneaking my plate to my faithful Jack Russell who chomped whatever was left down. She said I was a dirty so and so, but I didn't see a problem as the plate was washed afterwards.

Haggis - not fit even for dogs.

And the hunting of them is plain cruel.

Octopus - consumed on a boys week in Athens many years ago and after a few beers.

Revolting is not a strong enough word to describe it.

Eaten and enjoyed calamari but when I see those whole baby octopus my stomach turns.
