...balut. This horrid abomination (which I'm certain many of you will promote as delicious) is the Philippine national delicacy. It's a fully developed duck egg (17-18 days old) that has been boiled. I saw these years ago in Subic Bay when I was in the Navy. The bars all sell them.




Running a close second would be the "century egg", also asian and also wretched. Basically, it's an egg that has been preserved in alkaline for much too long of a time (in this case, any time would be too long). It turns to gray-green gelatin that reeks of ammonia and sulphur. Can you say good eats? NOT!

Balut would definitely top my list, but since you already mentioned it, I’ll go with anything that is still squirming or moving when it’s served to me. Let’s take octopus for instance. There are some Korean restaurants in L.A. that serve fresh cut-up tentacles that are still moving when it’s served. If that’s not bad enough, the server will warn you to watch out of the suction cups because they are still active and can cause you to choke/asphyxiate if one gets caught in the back of your throat. Check out this video and you’ll get the point

http://travel.latimes.com/articles/l...-angeles6sep07

Another thing would be a beating cobra’s heart. That’s just plain disgusting.

Oh, pretty much that Andrew Zimmern on Bizarre Foods eats is on my list.

I would not eat most of the things he does on that show....but I still LOVE to watch it. I find it extremely interesting to see the weird foods people eat around the world.

Great show for sure. I got a kick out of the few times he wasn’t able to eat something (Stinky Tofu hamburger in Taiwan and that really stinky fruit called durian)

Balut that would be the one. Reminds me of Masisi Blvd and Olongapo.

I saw Anthony Bourdain in Africa, (the show) he was with the Bushmen and they killed a wild hog. They tore out the large intestine, squeezed out what was inside and roasted it over open flame. They did not wash it at all.
They ate it next to the pile of dung they squeezed out of the pig.
I think that is where I would draw the line.
Tony described it as "hot roasted poop chute".

I like to think that I'll try anything once, but those big honking white crubs that Andrew Zimmerman eats really turn me off. I'm pretty sure I could not eat those. He is the man.

Really?

I plan on eating a monkey, there by gaining it's powers.
Joking aside I do want to do the live monkey brain thing, cause it's just so.... wild.

For the record I've tried the blutwurst/black pudding before and it's awful. Think, if you ever bit your tounge really hard, flavor that with a gross bran meal..

I've eaten sesos tacos (cow brains) before in East L.A. They weren't bad once you got over the texture and the fact that, well, they look like brains. Been there, done that, so need to eat them again.
