What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten, intentionally or unintentionally?

The suction cups stuck the the roof of my mouth and I had to pry it off with my tongue. It was a business dinner in Seoul. I love octopuses and still feel incredibly guilty for eating it.

This makes me want to cry. Ugh. I guess it would be too rude to decline to eat it, in that context?

A crunchy fly in a beverage. I wondered what the crunchy thing was so I spit it out - dead fly.

It was anticucho. The taste was bad enough but then when my wife told me what it was, I almost threw up.

What is anticucho?

Offal. Specifically heart. At least that’s what I seem to end up with. I like anticuchos. I ate them when I lived in the Andes and I’ve ordered them twice at a restaurant in Rockville.

Live monkey brains. We had a special table we insert monkey under table that opens and closes like a vise with a hole space size of neck. We close it up so monkey head sticking out and at center of table.

We carefully cut off top of scull of monkey while still alive and eat the warm monkey brain.

I ate a fish eye by accident. Wasn’t paying attention at tense dinner party.
Also hate chitlins.

I grew up poor and we had major pest issue in our house. Remember getting half-way through meals and too often finding whole or parts of roaches in the food.

Thats a city issue not a poor issue. Arlington condos have gazillion of roaches.

When we were in China at a "nice" dinner with some new Chinese colleagues, the waiter brought out an aquarium on wheels and had my dh choose the fish he wanted to eat; I thought this was to prove it was fresh. A short time later the waiter came back and put the plate in front of dh. The middle of the fish was cooked, but head and tail were still on it and it was STILL MOVING. Its mouth was opening and closing and the head and tail were going up and down on the plate.

I screamed and pushed back my chair and rushed out of the restaurant. Dh apparently told our hosts it was because I was pregnant. He thinks I was rude.

Had to google durian fruit. Here goes...Grown in many countries across tropical South East Asia, the spiky, stinky durian is an acquired taste. The fruit is loved and loathed in equal measure. Eating durian is banned in many outdoor spaces throughout Singapore and carrying it is prohibited on public transport because of its smell. The pulp of a ripe durian emits an unusually potent and very persistent smell that is reminiscent of rotten onions.

Google cats reacting to durian fruit. That's some funny sh!t right there!!!!

That's hilarious!!!!
