They actually EAT THAT?

[jynxxxedangel]

...wtf...people eat that?

Hehehehe..and it's right expensive, too-- as the men who collect the nests have to do so on some precarious precipices! The nests are HIGH up on cliffs and in caves. The saliva they are held together with is very gelatinous and gooey, like wallpaper paste, once it's been dissolved in hot water.

You don't even want to see what the nests look like before they are cleaned for packaging, either. There are bits of twig and feathers, and god-knows-what in them!

The soup goes for about 40 bucks a bowl, I believe. Bon appetit!

How about a trip to Norway, for a plate of sheep's head ("smalahove")?

Here is a clip showing its preparation and how it is eaten. Watch at your own risk!!! I, for one, DO NOT like eyeballs. I dislike the feeling of the vitreous humor gushing out into my mouth. I don't care for the flavor of it, either. The rest of the head (especially the tongue and jowls), is alright with me.

Ready to get grossed out??

I'll try most stuff, but eyeballs aren't one of them.

Haha, this one friend of mine would have pucked his guts out if he could see this thread, he can't handle lobster. Says the knowledge that its a crustacean which creeps and crawls along the ocean floor just grosses him out.

I'm wondering how necessary that little two bite portion of kielbasa is when you have a sheeps head staring you in the face....LOL

[Homicidalheathen]

Yah, um that is disgusting looking. I could NOT bring myself to eat that...

[pomba gira]

Bee Polen is Bee barf. (considered a 'super food')

The queen eats it.

Hey if its good enough for THE QUEEN!

Frulattai at Macomb Mall this lady makes pumpkin spice smoothie and if ya add bee polen its xtra special.

Just about everything bees produce has amazing health benefits. They're wondrous creatures and we'll be truly fucked if they really do all die off.

The one thing I wonder about bird's nest soup is, who the HELL first decided it would be a good idea to make soup out of dried swallow saliva? Maybe they saw an animal like a pig eating one... but then again pigs don't usually hang out on steep cliffsides too much.

Never had sheep's head but my aunt served a cow's head once. I'm told it's a Mexican Christmas dish; auntie was working with some migrant worker's education project at the time (she was on the state board of education and also worked for MEA for many years) and one of the organizers made it for her. It was actually quite tasty... very sweet tasting, tender meat... much more flavorful than I usually find beef. We didn't eat the eyeballs, though.

waste not, want not....

I remember watching an animal be cleaned for the first time from a hunting trip...I made him take out the wee lil bunnies brain and show it to me...eyes too.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

If my ancestors can eat a fucking cow stomach lining (Menudo) and cow brains w/ eggs, you can't put nothing past 'em. This doesn't surprise me.

Menudo's awesome.

[hunhee]

I'm thinking of posting these pictures on my fridge so that I don't eat unless necessary.. hehe

Bugs of any kind. One of these days I'll probably end up being a vegetarian. Meat is disgusting too look at.

[wormsinwombs]

Oh god we were talking about this in class today. Pickled pig lips and head cheese oh god this thread is making me nauseous. And I'm never eating shrimp again...I keep getting reminded that its a horrible sludge eating thing. Oh god :( I normally have a strong stomach for things but weird foods that involve odd parts of animals or unborn animals are really grossing me out. Although this thread is good to stop hunger cravings lol

I'd just like to point out that in most head cheese, it's just the jowels and meety parts. Not the eyeballs or anything like that.

[TheGimp]

mmmmm baby the other other white meat

Its fake i promice

[wormsinwombs]

I'd just like to point out that in most head cheese, it's just the jowels and meety parts. Not the eyeballs or anything like that.

The way I was told is that its scrap meat and then its soaked basically in fat to become a sort of cold cut (the soaking in fat grossed me out actually there's more to the process that I'm forgetting that also grossed me out.

[Homicidalheathen]

barf...barf...barf barf barfola! Yukies! ewewew

people pay 33 bucks and some change for this shit

[Homicidalheathen]

look at this, I saw this fly cheese the other day...

http://mywiki.ws/Top_10_Weirdest_Delicacies

maggots yup they said when you squish the thing on your mouth (they are alive and wiggle!) it enhances the flavor and that you want to eat the cheese the maggot SHITS OUT as it has more um flavor. Yah.

Lots of penis of other species being eaten by folks...what does that say about a person...fuckin sick and gross all at the same time.

then I saw people eating live tiny octopus and one person has died because he didn't chew it enough and choked to death. It gives stamina and strength.

"Casu Marzu"~Holy Cow crap!!! (Of which I'd rather eat by the way ;-> )

So it said:

"Casu Marzu causes some hazardous risks, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea."

Doesn't THAT tell us we're not supposed to eat it!?!?! lol!!

Ewwwwwwwwww!

[Invictus]

Natto, fermented soybeans. Yeah, that sludge is formed by fermenting the soybeans with a specific bacteria. It's supposedly good, and good for you, but I couldn't get over the smell...
