Chicken buttholes and pig intestines? I like them because they’re chewy. Once you stir fry them with vegetables and red pepper paste they don’t really taste like anything in and of themselves. ---

Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I’m not even allowed to mention them in the house. ---

Tuna is probably the biggest contender for me, though this has mostly been an issue for boyfriends, seeing as it makes my breath all gross. As someone on another board I frequent once said: the best food makes your breath smell like a sackful of assholes. ---

Strawberry ice cream drizzled with balsamic vinegar (the real kind, not the shitty supermarket kind). Awesome! ---

I love beef offal stew, prepared Hong Kong street vendor style. This consists of a mix of cow’s stomachs, lungs, intestines, and og knows what else. Yum… I eat [pig’s blood](http://big5.huaxia.com/gdtb/szgd/sbgd/images/20080916/32284.jpg). I suppose you can call this Chinese black pudding. I eat chicken feet. I love durians too. ---

tea with milk in a tall glass. A glass because those are the biggest containers in our home and I don’t like having to get up for refills. And a big-ass mug doesn’t fit in my cupboard. So, back in in college two guys discovered they both knew the same girl (me)! when one told the other he knew a girl who drank tall glasses of tea all day, but put lots of milk in them, so the whole beverage was all ew and cloudy. “I know a chick who does that too”! The other exclaimed. He later told me, that’s how I know. 🙂 ---

Peanut butter and mustard. Specifically, crunchy peanut butter, dijon mustard, pumpernickel bread. YUMMY! Also good: peanut butter and onion powder, peanut butter and apple jelly on rye. ---

Dog - but not regularly, it isn’t that great really. Silkworms - they have to be fresh or they are pretty mealy. Crickets, again have to be fresh. Snake - not worth the hassle in my limited experience - too many tricky bones. I am willing to be corrected though. Blood jelly. Various innards - heart, lungs, entrails… Chicken ovaries. Fermented fish products. Plus a smartarse answer - pork - millions find that disgusting. ---

Dried anchovies. Sauerkraut out of the jar. Cracklin’. Boiled green peanuts. Snake (it’s been ages, though). ---

> [@LVBoPeep](#): > > I have several buckaroo friends (legitimate, remuda keeping, rodear holdin’ buckaroos) and have attended several calf brandings. Almost every branding, after you work your butt off all day long, is finished off with a feast of epic proportions. I’ve never been to one without calf nuts (Rocky Mt. Oysters) as one of the dishes. I’ve tried them batter and fried, just fried and literally cooked on the branding fire shovel- I find them barely tolerable. But most of my buckaroo friends love them. One of the first brandings I went too, a five year old son of the ranch foreman was eating them by the handful- half raw off the shovel and called them “Easters” (instead of oysters). I knew someone who had eaten horse testicles. He said they were very fibrous and chewy – is this true of calf nuts, too, or are they more tender (tenderer?)? I once ate a sandwich that consisted of whole wheat bread, peanut butter, green bell pepper, and leftover salmon that had been cooked in teriyaki sauce. It was not particularly memorable. ---

They are very tender, hence the comparison to oysters (which I happen to like, btw- fried or raw), but very, very salty and weird. ---

Lima beans are pretty unpopular. I know I’m the only one in my family who likes them. My mother is the only person I know who will still eat head cheese. ---

A lot of the posts here are making me feel queasy, and this is mild in comparison, but I used to gross my sister out by dipping toast or bacon into my over easy egg(or aig, hey **Mississippienne** ) yolks. I know some people here think mayonaisse is Satan’s sperm but when I have a sandwich it’s common for my husband to ask if I want a little meat with my mayo. Yes I slather it on. ---

Once I was hungry but lazy, and I dipped a heated hot dog right into the BBQ sauce bottle. What’s EWWW about it is I deemed this new snack The Dirty Asshole. And I ate it anyway and loved it. ---

Black pudding, faggots, steak and kidney pie, heart, liver (fried chicken livers are my favourite). All offal-y good and all have provoked the Ewww! response by my friends and relations in the past. Sardines, anchovies, pilchards, etc - I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t love these. In 2010, I’m going to eat insects. Probably grasshoppers. ---

> [@luv2draw](#): > > I have one that made me go EEEEEEEEWWWWWWW. > > When I was a kid I made a liverwurst and jelly sandwich. Hey, I liked them both and figured “why not?” I once ate a plate of cold, leftover [merguez](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merguez) with [Nutella](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella). Yes, on a dare, obviously. Not as bad as I expected. OTOH, I’m very very fond of andouillette, which is pig’s guts sausage and, as De Gaulle once quipped, is “like politics : it must whiff of shit, but not too much”. Black pudding’s a treat. Also, while it pains me to conform to the stereotype, snails and frog legs. Love 'em. Y’all can keep the cheese, though. Now _that_ is EEWWWW.
