Yes, that was low of them and NOT funny.

charred sparrow on a stick (head, wings and all), bought and paid for by a japanese friend, in japan. "here, this delicious snack is for you..." oishiiidesune

How 'bout rotted milk?...swallowed some of that
nasty stuff recently!! Forgot the sniff rule...

Revolution said:

Ah...the sniff rule

I live by that one. It has saved me many times.

Camping out one nite, I could not sleep, so I picked up a twinkie...yum...oh why is this thing spicey!!??
Went to the light...just ate bunch of little black ants...
They were eating the twinkie, too.

Ewww...I can only imagine!

Actually, during the army, they made us eat all sorts of bugs

MissCute said:

For example...?

Oh yes, the worst thing I NEVER ate was the seafood platter
I ordered in New York.
Thinking it would be the same seafood I knew from the gulf,
I foolishly placed my order without really READING!

The platter came full of things I had never seen before,
the ugliest and probably what made me chunk the whole thing
were the little eight-(suction clad) armed octupi (octapus).
They were black and oily looking.

Even Webster's description is loathsome:
Any cephalapod having eight arms provided with suckers,
large eyes, and a naked body with a small internal shell.

Example?

Ants, snails...ok, I'm stopping now, cuz it makes me remember and that's not something I want to do.

But that was then.
I've stopped doing that

While running through a field on a hot summer day, being chased by my cousins shooting at me with bb guns, I fell into a rotting cow face first.

I stuck my finger down my throat (even after the initial vomit) Didn't get sick. Got my shots. Got checked out nonetheless.

I made out ok.

Still hurts to picture that in my head though.

ever seen horsefly maggots?

They are huge!

And they were all inside that cow...



And I thought I finally got it out of my head...

Boiled Okra Slimy like a slug

worst thing i've ever eaten is horseradish...

I've had salmon caviar mousse and loved it, and I like snails if prepared w/butter and garlic, but my big prom faux pas centered around raw oysters.

My date and I went to a fancy schamncy restaurant where our dinner cost more than my dress and his tux rental combined. We ordered this ocean-catch-feast-for-two appetizer and on the plate were raw oysters on the half shell. Being a try-anything-once kind of gal, I plucked the oyster from the shell with my fork and stuck it in my mouth. First off, it was HUGE. Secondly, it was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever had in mouth in my life! I was determined not to make an ass of myself, and since I couldn't swallow for the life of me, I decided to begin chewing it. BIG MISTAKE! I began to gag, tears welling in my eyes, and finally I looked around to make sure no one was watching and daintily spit it back in the shell and turned that over upside down on my plate.

I will never touch oysters again.

last week i had gotten a steak sandwhich from quiznos(cause they were out of the meat for italian) and it was the grossest thing ever...i dont even think i would have given it to my dog...

i would have went back but the staff didnt speak english very well and fighting with them would have gotten me nowhere

theC said:

Oh my god, that sounds disgusting.

MissCute said:

MissCute you were in the army?

Almost anything that is fast food!

OceanaOne said:

Read the book Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser.

It will make you at the very thought of eating fast food again!

SnowQueen said:

Thanks, I can just imagine! But I was not raised or really allowed to eat fast food growin up...so it never became a habit.

a spider (true)

But at least you got to go to prom.

Not only did I never go to prom, but my senior year in high school I somehow ended up as head of the prom committee. I would never join something like this intentionally, but somehow I got talked into by a teacher I really liked.

So anyway...I planned the stupid prom and somehow the girl I thought I was going to go with changed her mind and ditched me or something so I was dateless.

The sad part of this story is when I told the teacher that I didn't have a date so I wouldn't be going she responded by telling me, "You can come alone and serve punch." This sounded like the saddest thing I could imagine so I never did get to see the prom that I planned. I heard it was a success though.

Yeah so this story didn't have anything to do with food, but I thought about it when I read about your prom story.

I sometimes regret never going to a prom although I know they were stupid and over-rated it just seems like a rite-of-passage.

Even though MissCute has left, her threads continue to grow
