Grossest recipe ever

I am here in Baton Rouge on business.

The people are lovely and, as a thank you for my presentation, they gave me a copy of River Road Recipes.

So nice. So funny to read about carrot jello salad and ham loaf and whatever.

Then I got to…Squirrel Pie.

Eeeeeew! Eeeew! Gross!

What’s the grossest recipe you have seen?

BTW, the fact that it called for SIX squirrels somehow made it worse for me. Like, not, “Oh, I have this dead squirrel here, what can I do?” But SIX! SIX of them!

What? You’ve never had squirrel? :dubious:

It’s a very common meat, at least where I’m from. Used to go squirrel hunting all the time.

I’ve never had squirrel, but I would try it. It doesn’t even break the top ten grossest foods. It actually sounds kind of good right now.

I give you hakarl.

Sorry. I have no intent to offend.

Where I’m from, squirrels are vermin.

I’ll see your Squirrel Pie and raise you Rat Ragout. Put some extra “Wild Turkey” in a glass and serve with Ragout, so you forget about the rat you’re eating in your drunken haze.

For all your placenta-chowin’ needs

My dad said they used to hunt squirrel during the Depression. Cajuns eat them all the time and (allow me to inflict some lore on you) in Colorado, a tour guide said you could survive on it b/c of the fat content. Rabbits? You’d starve.

The grossest thing I ever saw probably tasted great…it was a cake. But they put it in a (new) cat litter box and had crumbled a couple cakes/used food coloring to make it resemble cat litter. They served it with a pooper scoop, and they had partly-melted tootsie rolls, draped them over the side like that cat had bad aim, etc. Having cleaned a few of the real thing, no thanks.

Mutter paneer, an Indian dish with fried ricotta, peas and cashews, often looks nasty (greenish-yellow) but it is probably my favorite food of all time.

Better than Hot Karl, but damn, not by much.

I give you hakarl.

Ramsey hurls hakarl!
Oh God, hakarl has to win, it made Gordon Ramsey puke on TV! Though the first two thing were pretty flipping revolting also. I couldn’t watch the second, I had to cover my eyes and just listen.

I’m seriously still grossed out. :eek:

The OP needs to read Steve Don’t Eat It!. You’ll never look at Dolores’ Pickled Pork Lips the same way again.

Hagfish. /thread

Some folk’ll never eat a squirrel
But then again, some folk’ll…

I still think Maggot Cheese is worse. (Not that I’ve tried either, mind you.)

Beat me to it. I love that page, and the guy is very funny.

I clicked on this thread without thinking about the fact that I’m currently eating a Cadbury cream egg and slurping chocolate milk…well, I was anyway.

This is the worst, from Smeghead’s placenta link (bolding mine):

There aren’t enough barfing smilies in all the world…

That’s an awesome show! What it is? And can I watch more of it on the internet?

And ewww…

And where I’m from*, they are mixed along with rabbit into a stew we call “burgoo”. Burgoo is made from many different meats in many different places, but our local tradition is squirrel and rabbit. Tasty, tasty.

Again, I didn’t mean to offend. After submitting this thread, I did realize how potentially snobbish I sound, and I really don’t mean to. Heck, I eat raw fish and eel, so I know that gross is in the mouth of the betaster.

I’m probably about to offend the entire state of Georgia, but whenever someone suggests mixing grape jelly and chili sauce and pouring that over cocktail franks, it makes me a little queasy. I mean, who looked at those two very disparate things and went, “Hmm, those’d be great on some baby hot dogs?”

Possibly not in quite the same league as placenta, but I was at my sister’s house the other day, looking through some old cookbooks she just got. One had something called “Kris Kringle Salad” which contained apple slices, avocado, and red-hot cinnamon candies. How festive!

The same book had a recipe for “Chicken Fried Heart”. You can use beef, pig, veal or lamb heart in that one.
