Tell us what YOU think the grossest comestible is...
Edited on Sun Feb-11-07 10:32 AM by HypnoToad




You guessed it!!

Sugar-free peeps, made with Splenda.

Open the packet.

Feel one of these peeps.

It feels very odd; disturbingly similar to that sex toy to be had at the ye olde naughty adult shoppe...

Then I tasted it - after all, Splenda is rather splendid...












(not this time) :puke:

Really! :puke: Some of the sugar bits remain in the mouth after swallowing the ugly yellow thing. Crunchy too. :scared:

Now it's your turn! What do you find to be grossest of them all? :9

1. Balut
A balut (or Hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese) is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines, China, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, baluts are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. They are often served accompanied with consumption of beer. The Filipino and Malay word balut(balot) roughly translates to mean "wrapped".

from Wikipedia

I'll spare you photos.

2. Stinky Tofu
From a distance, the odor of stinky tofu is said to resemble that of sewage or a garbage dump, even by its enthusiasts. In spite of stinky tofu's smell, the flavor is surprisingly mild. Some have compared it to the taste of blue cheese. It is said the more it smells, the better it tastes.

Stinky tofu served with goose blood in mala soup:

4. Coconut
I just despise the taste and texture and smell of coconut.

I know it's not as gross as what others will mention but it's an ordinary food found everywhere and I just hate it! Yuck!
