  What is the worst and weirdest food you have ever eaten?

For me it was raw rabbit eye-ball and camp fire-cooked bat.

The military made me eat them in 1991 and I hated them both.

I haven't eaten anything that could be considered weird.

A hamburger shaped like a hot dog. This was back when I was 12, and my mother was to damn cheap of buy hamburger buns. I told her that was a disgusting meal.

Liver, that's all I remember that was the worst. I drowned in ketchup but it didn't help much. I'm not a very adventurous eater.

I'm not sure.
I think the weirdest food I ate, well it wasn't food.
It was this thing in Science. It's called Benedict's, a bright blue substance you use to test for glucose or something.
It tasted like pure blood.

Nasty. The military? Was this a hazing thing?

The worst thing I've eaten... worst tasting, was probably durian fruit.

Well... nothing that I would consider weird I guess. Depending on where you live some people consider sushi or bear "weird" I don't. I've had alligator which was different but not weird. Bat is weird *laughing out loud* I'd try it.

Reheated leftover beefsteak and kidney pie, with poached oysters and nasty cooking sherry, served on burnt toast.

I don't know how weird that is, but it wasn't tasty. My mother served it to me for lunch one day when I was a child.

The weirdest food I've eaten would be a matter of opinion. Purple Dragon Fruit?

Well, to look at it, it's gross! A good number of years ago it was the "year of the cicada", and it was amazing, that summer sounded like there were spaceships constantly whizzing around. It was wierd. Anyhoo, I had two naturalist friends who were into eating them. They cooked one for me over a flame....it was crunchy, but tasted like potato!

Calf's brain. Curiosity made me order it, but ego made me finish it. I despised every single bite of it. The feeling of it in my mouth was Fear-Factorish, and that made me unable to even taste the thing.

It's processed meat in a can with a pop top that is meant to be spread on crackers or something. Like vienna sausages or liverwurst.

A raw rabbit eyeball? Were you in some sort of survival training... or some odd KP?

The worst/weirdest for me was when I was about six or seven, and my mother's boyfriend at the time made spaghetti sauce with chicken gizzards in it. Can you imagine some seven-year-old being told that there are chicken hearts in her spaghetti sauce? And being forced to eat it?

Yes, Cold Weather/High Altitude Medicine and Survival School for the eyeball and Jungle Warfare Training for the Bat. Both courses added other things to eat as well.

I know a Mexican woman who said years ago you could go to meat markets and ask for cow tongue and end up with a free cow head just so they could rid themselfs of it. Since then Mexicans have made use of eating the cow brain as well so now she said it cost a lot of money to get the cow head.

*laughing out loud* My husband might agree. He says some of the MRE's are so bad that they get fed to whatever wildlife is out there. The ones that aren't so bad give you the craps something terrible. One year at AT the cook told him not to eat the pancakes.... evidently, the flour had bugs in it, and they were trying to sift them out and use it anyway. *dead face*

I remember someone in primary school was eating it and you know how sometimes when people talk they spit all over you, well he did that, but it went over my sandwhich, and I ate it, and I heaved. Even the smell makes me want to be sick.

Would you have to search for them on the ground? I assume that a colony of ants could fit on a teaspoon.

Yes we had to find our own ants and the ones we wound were the larger varieties of black and black and red ants.

The worst food I have had the displeasure to eat is a tie between peanut butter and coconut. The weirdest, from an American point of view; my anscestors were Western Europeans and Native Americans (personal note: We are not Indians---they come from a country called India in the south of Asia)), would be Sushi, which I do like.
