When you come down to it there are few things that I wont eat. Perhaps insects or spiders.

I like okra fried or boiled or even in gumbo or tomatoes.
While in college, mother and I visited one of her life long friend who had this knockout looking daughter. We were in the kitchen when she offered me a piece of pickled okra which I accepted.
It was the most disgusting thing that I ever put into my mouth. Slipped it into my left hand and we went outside and as soon as I could without being noticed threw it into the bushes.
This pretty young woman ate several and she asked me if I wanted another and I politely declined. There are somethings that even a pretty young woman can get a guy to do the second time.

If you want stinky cheese, Pont Levec is it!
Korean Kimchi, that stuff is nasty.
I love it too. 1st Group wives used to bring it to potlucks at work pretty regularly - home made. Too hot and too much garlic to be dangerous
DW was a missionary kid in SKorea - her baby brother fell into a kimchi crock (buried in the ground) one day. I've always told her their worst mistake was getting him out of it

best I can afford is lumpfish caviar on buttered toast. I actually enjoy it.

I think you win Shadowman - but I know for a certainty that hunger can overcome a lot of squeamishness. I've had a lot of nasty things but have yet to try balut, but I am pretty doggone sure that proper motivation could get me there.Raw snails and slugs......survival training. Word to the wise....DON'T CHEW THEM!! Just swallow whole. Some how they expand and get hella bigger when you chew them. One of the guys in our class proved the instructors point when he started chewing on one and it seemed like he was spitting out foamy slug parts for ten minutes!! True story.
Balut (/bəˈluːt/ bə-LOOT, /ˈbɑːluːt/ BAH-loot; also spelled as balot) is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia.
No matter how drunk I got, (and I gave it my sailor's best effort) I could not get past the rotten egg smell of Balut.......NASTY!! NASTY!! NASTY!! So, I never did try it. Came close, but smelling it, is as close as I could get.
Monkey.......on a stick. Believe it or not. Once again, in the Philippines. Looked like BBQed little skinny babies. Kinda of warped when you think about it. Edible but not very tasty........I guess it depends on the sauce you use.
Dog, in South Korea. I know I should be ashamed.Kind of stringy as I recall.
Python.....in the Philippines during survival training. Actually very much like Gator and Rattlesnake. Kind of bland and tasteless too. Needs a good sauce and lots of butter.
Weird Seafood. Went to a South Korean version of a Smorgasbord in Pohang. All sorts of weird stuff some I don't even want to know what it was. All of it was good, fish eyes, sea slugs, stuff in squid ink or what it octopus ink? No idea. Some times it's just better to not ask what it is.

Love Korean food. There was a nice Korean place in Houston. I was the only pink ghost in the place and never knew what to order. I would just accept the waitors recommendation. Loved the pickled vegetables and the kimche.Korean Kimchi, that stuff is nasty.

Chicken McNuggets or any other chicken product that has been glued back together from little pieces.............I'm sure it tastes good but I just don't do chopped and re-formed meats (meatloaf is an exception).......and if I eat a hot dog I have to get close to cremating it before I consider it edible......
What I look for when I buy something that has chicken in it is....
Made with white meat chicken..........that's a no go, white meat glued back together.
Made with chicken breast meat.........that's a go, an actual chicken breast that's been cut into pieces or the whole breast.
Two things I really like are the Marie Callendars (sp) Parmesan chicken pot pie and the Tai Pei chicken fried rice, I dissected the chicken one day when eating it and sure enough, glued together.
Even my cats will not eat the chicken out of the pot pie but they will eat the chicken from the fried rice.
I still buy both of those items but I strip out the chicken.

the dinks would nail a fish to a board, with lots of cuts in the skin, they would angle the board and let the oil drip into a bowl, then pour it over maggot infested rice. it was supposed to be a honor to be offered that , never did try any. a can of 30 year old ham sounded better

Where I am supposed to be.
A disabled kid on my elementary school bus brought this for lunch EVERYDAY. I can vouch for that smell (think poop and puke mixed together)....omg...I just gagged thinking about it

Neither here nor there.
I'm making kimchi fried rice for dinner tonight!

I don't know Sue.....balut is pretty rotten smelling.....actually pretty ghastly, but you're welcome to try.
We also have this "Truth Serum" used in the navy's Chief Petty Officers initiation. Now that stuff was beyond nasty and there is absolutely no way to keep it down. It's ingredients start with Philippino Fish Sauce (sun baked rotten fish juice and aged), Limburger Cheese, and GOD only knows what else. Took me weeks to scrub and wash the stink out of my mustache (I refused to shave it off as most initiates did afterwards. Let's put it this way. After drinking half a pitcher of this stanky stuff I "blew grits" hard enough to knock over a 55 gallon trash can!!

I did not think many here would even know about the stuff and yeah that video proves the point it's really nasty.

Yep, you're right. But it's amazing what real, true hunger-to-the-point-of-starvation can bring one to. I've heard of and/or tried all these, but actually....I think I could go all the way to the worst if I had to. I think most folks here would too, despite the disgust factor. Survival, ykwim?
