I consider myself an adventurous eater, but I don't know about this "delicacy." In some places, cheese with live, writhing maggots living inside is quite the dish, fetching a premium. Some enjoy eating this cheese, living fly larvae inside and all!

What food from your local area or from around the world would be the one where you would just say "No!"

Xenophon · 13 August 2009, 05:31 PM

I saw some speciality Italian cheese with maggots in. When you think about it the maggots must taste of cheese as that's all they've eaten

Marmite

not keen on offal, would try pretty much anything once

Jimbits76 · 13 August 2009, 08:21 PM

Offal...most shellfish!

macstiltskin · 13 August 2009, 08:25 PM

Tripe! (cows stomach lining)

Also I believe in Vietnam a delicacy involving burying insects in a jar of water for months to putrefy is considered a treat......No thank you chaps, I'll pass.

Xenophon · 13 August 2009, 09:42 PM

The worst thing I was presented with was embryonic chicken soup in Hong Kong.

Lion · 13 August 2009, 09:50 PM

I agree with Macstiltskin, I would never eat tripe again. Once I was invited to a friend's house for dinner and they were having tripe and salad. I took one bite of tripe and almost gagged and had to spit it out in my napkin. Needless to say I had a lot of salad for dinner and kidding from my guests!!!

TheVTCGuy · 13 August 2009, 10:51 PM

Belut (or however you spell it) in the Phillipines... I know, some people love it and claim it's a delicacy but I couldn't.... the half-formed embryos of chickens? Allowed to mature just to the point where the bones are crunchy? YECHHHHH!!!!!

sexner · 13 August 2009, 11:58 PM

I would have to say Prairie Oysters are on my list of things to pass on.

Paul,

It's called "balut". I used to like it growing up, but haven't had it for a couple of decades now. I wonder if I can re-acquire the taste for it.

I applaud your desire to eat the stuff

now if you could get enough friends to import Marmite from this green and pleasant land

My daughter has just berated me for writing this

I said Liverpool! I'm not sure that qualifies for the 'green and pleasant land' decription.

By the way my great aunt and uncle did have a tripe shop in Leicester donkeys years ago

maybe I have a defective food gene!

I am afraid of that stuff.

theloxmyth · 14 August 2009, 01:58 AM

Blood sausage, or Kishka, for all you good hunkies here (like us).

My MIL served it to me, once, and I ran into the bathroom to spit it out.

Yuk!

Menudo is very popular here. Nothing like soup made from cow's stomachs to start the day.

"...think of how much protein..." I'd rather NOT!

I wouldn't even eat them if they were chocolate coated!

Watchdog · 14 August 2009, 01:05 PM

Interesting answers.

I've had balut, didn't mind it.

Tripe I really like, especially in Vietnamese Pho.

And I love blood pudding/blood sausage. There 's a German butcher nearby who adds rice and calls it Hurka (sp?). Pretty tasty, fried up as Martin suggested.

They just opened up Mega Cavern for public tour here in Louisville. One of the sections of the cavern is experimenting with night crawlers to recycle paper etc. One of the tour guide has been eating night crawler to demonstrate worm’s high protein during the tour for the past few month (he does few tours a day = eats few night crawlers a day). He claims that his diabetes are now under control, blood pressure decreased significantly and lost lot of weight without changing any of eating, drinking and smoking habits.
