    Default Top 10 disgusting foods..tried them?

    10. Kopi Luwak

    There is no beating around the bush on this one - Kopi Luwak are coffee beans that come from Civet (a cat sized mamal) poo. The animals gorge on only the finest the ripe berries, and excrete the partially-digested beans, which are then harvested for sale. Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $120 and $600 USD per pound, and is sold mainly in Japan and United States, but it is increasingly becoming available elsewhere. The beans are washed, and given only a light roast so as to not destroy the complex flavors that develop through the process.
    9. Ox Penis

    In Western countries, Ox Penis is usually dried and sold as dog treats, but in many Oriental nations, they are commonly eaten by humans. The penis is generally cooked by steaming or deep frying, and can also be eaten raw. Some westerners compare the tastes of some penises with overcooked squid.
    8. Bird Spit

    The nests in question here are produced by a variety of Swifts, specifically Cave Swifts who produce the nest by spitting a chemical compound that hardens in the air. The nests are considered a delicacy in China and are one of the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. It is generally served as a soup but can also be used as a sweet. When combined with water, the hard nests take on a gelatinous texture.
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    7. Caterpilla Fungus

    Image from Weirdmeat.com
    Caterpilla Fungus is a species of parasitic fungus that grows on insect larvae. The fungus invades the body of the Thitarodes caterpillars, eventually killing and mummifying it. The dark brown to black fruiting body (or mushroom) emerges from the ground in spring or early summer, always growing out of the forehead of the caterpillar. The fungus is commonly used as a Chinese or Tibetan medicine where it is used as an aphrodisiac and as a treatment for a variety of ailments, from fatigue to cancer. It is also served in soup (as you can see in the image above).
    6. Rats

    Rats are surprisingly common food in some parts of the world. In North Korea they are eaten because there is often little else to eat in the villages. They are generally field rats rather than the city rats that most of us are familiar with. They are described as being tough and stringly with a taste like chicken (surprise!)

    5. Monkeys Brains

    This is disgusting primarily because of the very high risk of contracting fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathies such as Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and other similar brain diseases. In parts of China, the monkey’s brain is eaten raw. While it is most likely an urban legend, some people claim that monkeys’ brains are, or were, eaten from the head of a live monkey. Here is a common description:
    The monkey’s head was supported by its neck in a bracket, two pieces of wood with a semicircular hole on each side such that when you put them together, they form a complete circle around the animal’s neck, allowing the head to be exposed above the plank. The hair around the head is shaven with a shaving razor. A small chisel and a hammer is used to quickly chisel a circle around the crown, and the top part of the skull is removed. A teaspoon is used to scoop up the brain, which is immediately eaten. This has to be done before the monkey dies.
    4. Spiders

    Image from Weirdmeat.com
    These spiders from Skuon in Cambodia are similar to North American Tarantulas. They are bred in holes in the ground especially for eating and are deep fried. The texture is described as crispy-chewy and some say it tastes similar to crab. Like Tarantulas, these spiders can bite. They were a regular survival food of the Khmer Rouge. The photograph above is an actual photo of one of the spiders ready to be eaten.

    3. Bee Larvae

    Image from Weirdmeat.com
    Bee Larvae is eaten in China and Japan (where it is called hachinoko). Hachinoko became popular years ago when country people, deprived of fish and meats, turned to other wildlife in search of protein. The larvae are cooked in soy sauce and sugar and taste mildly sweet with a crumbly texture. These days, it is mainly a nostalgia item at parties. It makes a grand entrance in the festivities, and the older folks grin with expectation. The actual task of eating hachinoko, however, is not nearly so exciting.
    2. Balut - Duck Fetus

    Balut is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. They are often served with beer. Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the embryo inside. Approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold, and eaten.
    1. Snake Blood and Bile

    This is less a food than a medicine, but it is so disgusting that it warrants a place on the list. In Central Jakarta, a man who calls himself the Cobra man specializes in preparing blood and bile for medicinal uses. Typically, he cuts off the head and drains the blood into a glass of arrack. He adds the bile and serves the drink as a treatment for respiratory ailments, skin problems, aches or indigestion. It is also said to improve a man’s stamina and sex life. Drinking the blood straight from a snake can also be done as an act of bravery or manliness. In defense of the blood eaters, I should remind everyone that pigs blood is very commonly eaten in most European nations in the form of black pudding or blood sausage.

    I've had Balut.

    A lot of these foods are super common in China. Just because it's weird to us doesn't mean it's weird to them.

    I've had Balut and larvae, though i think it was silkworm larvae, not bee larvae.




    I actually bought a can in Manhanttan to give to my boyfriend as a joke gift (we like to snack a lot together), but he opened it at work while some of our friends were visiting, and we all dared each other to try some.

    It wasn't very good. But to be fair, we probably should have stir-fried them with some sauce first.


    I had the Balut in fourth grade because I was visiting one of my friends and her mother served it for dinner. I can't remember if i swallowed or not... I might have just spit it out in my napkin.

    i have drunk cobra blood before in thailand, just a shot though.

    it was not so bad.

    but then, i also eat glass for the entertainment of others so it was not a big deal.

    the bee larvae actually sound (and look) kind of appetizing.

    It can be difficult to make a recently single man pay for sex when he knows that a quick trip to the local watering hole would secure at least one hard drunken tumble for far less cash. It is even more difficult when he is something of a dead ringer for James Bond as played by Daniel Craig and possesses the sort of awkard charm and confidence that brands a man like him as a lady killer.

    In Hawaii there's tons of Philipinos that serve Balut in large quantities at their huge ass parties.

    I used to be a face-painter over there and went to a few Philipino shindigs... one time there was meat covered in black sauce and i put it on my plate... turned out to be blood sausage. AWESOME

    idk.... i do love me some escargot ! mmmmmmmmm delish!

    I'd try the coffee beans LOL. I saw a documentary about the people who collect those birds nests.

    The duck fetus is just absolutely disgusting tho.

    I'd never eat a rat just coz of the whole black plague thing LOL. Rats are just usually associated with disease. I love pet rats tho but wouldn't eat one hehe.

    Eh. I'm sure half the things on that list end up in cheap hotdogs
    However, I always wonder what makes some things acceptable to eat in different cultures....do people who eat rats and larvae think we are crazy for eating cows and pigs? (seriously....describe a hamburger as "the ground up ass of a cow served on a bun" and see who orders it )

    Has anyone else seen the LIVE MONKEY BRAIN scene on Faces of Death???? It was probably one of the reasons i became vegitarian for 7 years.

    The monkey is screaming bloody murder while it's head is held in place with brackets and they're eating it's brains!!!!!!!

    Can you imagine that being done TO YOU???? I'd be screaming too.

    I really just can't eat any sort of meat that still has a face on it . The rats, duck fetus, and monkey were pretty damn creepy.
