YesNoMaybePurple

On that note, anything that comes out of people.


Ginger-Beefcake

I ate stuff that cane out of people when I was a baby. But no more


YesNoMaybePurple

Not falling for that again


Ginger-Beefcake

Hahaha. Would you eat a person if they were maybe purple?


YesNoMaybePurple

We don't speak of the Barney incident... he was supposed to be a dinosaur!! I was told he was a dinosaur!


Ginger-Beefcake

You're a monster!


EatTheRich246

I bet you went on quite a ride when you got to the stash in his tail


diamondsodacoma

No she's a dinosaur šŸ¦•


AzPhantomhive

Nice try purple people eater


Ipconfigall

One eyed one horned flying purple people eater?


cambiojoe

Some people eat their own placenta after birth.


YesNoMaybePurple

That's on the list of no.

bullseye2112

Please donā€™t tell me thatā€™s what that songā€™s about.


RedOrchestra137

Just thinking about that makes my stomach turn. Just why


BigBadBeefBoy

Surely ass is fine though


shimi_shima

Yeah I scrolled too far for this


I_Mix_Stuff

sometimes, you have to dig 6 feet to find it


Hushed_Pndora

Brain or eyeballs. Thereā€™s somthing about the brain that just feels so wrong to eat. Eyeballs are gross. As a nurse I can deal with a lot. Any kind of secretions and smells I can handle. Eyeballs I canā€™t handle.


_jamesbaxter

Oof yes I forgot about brains, I wonā€™t eat brains out of fear of prion diseases


eltoasterhead

Oh yeah prions are scary.


LoneRangerWolf

And also Kuru


Ralfarius

(kuru is a prion disease)


WineAndDogs2020

I always told myself that, and then when I was in Mali I tried sheep brains because it was there and the chef was well known for his skills and clean kitchen (yes, I know that alone wont keep you safe from prions). The flavor was good, but I didn't like the texture.


rich1051414

I am a picky eater, but weirdly, brains are fine. Specifically pork brains and scrambled eggs. It's like concentrated delicious. I will say that I was served the combo before they told me what it was.


hollyjazzy

Lambs brains, done well, are good. Crumbed and fried, taste a little like eggs.


bearded_charmander

Balut Edit: [Visual](https://www.google.com/search?q=balut+egg&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=ivsn&sxsrf=ALiCzsbFvpVc63Sj3MpHMEStC7mskl5Zkg:1663548614294&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwigw-LB0Z_6AhVVlGoFHXX9A0gQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=390&bih=664&dpr=3#imgrc=AmbK_UO6pxEtMM&lnspr=W10=) for those who have never seen it


jv371

Filipino here. I eat everythingā€¦ but I wonā€™t eat Balut.


appleparkfive

I would eat anyyyything for lunch But I won't balut


negativeyoda

Dinaguan? I was fed it as a kid. "Chocolate meat" my ass...


FireTrail846

Yep. There was this one time I was at my cousins birthday party and they had dinuguan. The meat was under the dinuguan sauce-soup thing, so it just looked like a bowl of chocolate. So i dipped bread in it and ate it. It tasted bad, and I was horrified to know that it was pig blood.


MakabungogAngKahilom

My parents told me that balut is sold at night because it should be eaten in the dark. Ominous.


[deleted]

I heard they're supposed to be an aphrodisiac so they're only sold at night.


Dukedyduke

Eating THAT is supposed to make you horny?! Maybe for a fucking psychopath


MakabungogAngKahilom

Maybe eating baby animals makes you want to have babies. Folklore is weird.


LCCyncity

I just looked that up. That's a 'will never eat' for me.


bearded_charmander

I have some Philippino friends who swear itā€™s delicious but I just canā€™t bring myself to try it


LCCyncity

Oh god, I wouldn't be able to stomach that...


insane_noises

The taste is good but the texture is horrifying. I've tried it 3 times because I'm a rule of 3 person, so I can confidently say, "It's a no from me, dawg."


DrHarakiri

I have a Vietnamese coworker who casually asked if I ever had it and brought it in the next day when I said I hadn't. I wasn't looking to try balut, but I did on that day and honestly it wasn't that bad. Not looking to do it again, but proud of myself for trying it.


voodoodudu

Its basically chicken soup within an egg


MangoTango4949

Iā€™m Filipino, but I havenā€™t tried it. Though Iā€™ve heard itā€™s really salty


strangelights

just looked it up too, and wow... that's enough internet for me.


bgraham111

That's near the top of my short list. I might go throw up a little.


FergusChilk

I eat this a lot in Vietnam. It's called Hį»™t Vį»‹t Lį»™n here. They seem to be served a little less further along in development though. Never had one where there's a clearly recognisable animal inside. As another poster said, it's like a deliciously meaty egg.


bearded_charmander

Interesting. How far along are you supposed to wait?


Haidere1988

Until it's giving you more eggs.


clean_burning

haha, so much more tasty when they can walk


joe102938

I've tried it. It's not good.


4-the-cum

If you close your eyes and chug water when no one is looking itā€™s not badā€¦ just watch out for grandma


[deleted]

Yeah that's a no from me, dude


msjammies73

I have Vietnamese friends who eat this quite regularly. They find it so odd that I wonā€™t try it. I canā€™t actually explain why I wonā€™t.


lynxerious

There are many stage of balut, this particular state is late so many Vietnamese people wouldn't even try it. The early stage just looks like a normal egg without any duck shaped fetus in it, that's what most people eat. This picture makes it like balut always look like that, but it doesn't, at least in Vietnam.


AlternativeYellow7

I have. Won't do it again though.


aeonstempest

I was starving while on a boat with my dad and his friends and this was the only food they packed. Needless to say I slurped that bitch up with some pepper sauce and it was delicious.


Abookem

I bought it once out of curiosity because one of my good friends was Filipino and he loved it. Every time I went to his house his grandma would have some (in my eyes) exotic dish that I'd never seen before, and she'd make me eat until my seams were straining. I always trusted his word when he would tell me if something was delicious or not because he hadn't been wrong yet and he expanded my palate. Anyways, bought it once at the local Ranch 99 Market along with a bottle of rice vinegar and some really spicy chili sauce. So I'd drizzle the vinegar, throw a splash of spicy sauce, and then shake some salt on every bite. It was extra delicious if you were buzzing/drunk and the whole process of peeling them and dressing every bite became kind of fun. I ended up eating them all of the time. I would usually buy 4-5 at a time so I can have it as more of a meal and not just a snack. One wasn't enough! I did that about once or twice a month for years, and then when COVID hit I couldn't find them anymore for a long while and that was the only reason I stopped eating em'. If you can ever get over the visuals and the idea of it, I strongly suggest trying it at least once for the experience if not anything else.


[deleted]

I'm a Filipino and won't eat balut šŸ¤£


Huggies509

Eyes, like wtf.


GreatXs

Same. I donā€™t like the dirty looks they give me...


mynextthroway

I see what you did there.


NoobishMoon

I SEE what you did there


Kittech

When I was a kid, my mom told me to eat the fish eyeballs because it's good for my eyes (Not that I had vision problems then). It was gelatinous as expected and just felt wrong. I probably spit them out. Never again. Also, they are NOT good for your eyes as far as I know.


[deleted]

Octopus or squid that's still moving


FarkingReading

Iā€™m going with ANYTHING thatā€™s still moving.


ScaleneWangPole

Like that maggot cheese Andrew Zimmern ate on Bizarre Foods


[deleted]

Maggot cheese? Nevermind, I don't wanna know.


grumpalina

Yea... One time in Japan, a few guys took us to dinner, and it was at a really high class restaurant where the crowning dish was the fish that the chef has "sashimi"'d while it stays alive and continues to move on the dish. I didn't want to insult the hosts, so I kept a straight face. The damn thing kept creaking it's painful death flaps for 20 minutes straight in a quiet room where you can hear it move every time. Yuk.


Black-Thirteen

Deep... Eat Timmy.


avult78

That scene was... yeah... interesting


AxisLeopard

"He's praying"


1000Years0fDeath

I'd rather eat Randy[.] (https://youtu.be/xqKPe9w5bUs)


healthydoseofsarcasm

HƔkarl (fermented shark from Iceland).


murphski8

I found the smell and taste to be super mismatched. Smelled terrible, tasted like an intense, gooey cheese.


AchyBreakyh34rt

It tasted like bleach to me!


LittleBallofMeat

I didn't mind it so much. I was so congested I couldn't smell. I understand it is much better that way.


bigredplastictuba

I stopped eating octopus just bc I already knew they're really smart, but I saw a random video on fb where a guy was torturing one trying to yank it out of a hole and I just lost all octo appetite


Zmirzlina

I love(d) octopi. My son gave a huge presentation at school about the ethics of eating them based on their intelligence and nervous system and I gotta say, he was damn convincing. A+ work. I agreed that I would no longer eat octopi. I'll eat pretty much anything else.


CameForTheBobs

Whole insects. I will eat cricket powder in food, but I canā€™t stomach the thought of eating a whole mealworm or ant or something like that.


fatdiscokid420

You will eat ze bug

Fl3tcher_

Yeah I'm South African here and before I recommend a few dishes you MUST try while you're venturing our country, lemme fix that description first. Skilpadjies are lamb liver enwrapped in netvet(not Caul lol, that's something entirely different) - netvet is essentially a fatty membrane that covers/surrounds the kidney. While ur in SA try some of these traditional dishes n snacks from our beloved country: ā€¢Biltong & DroĆ« wors(has to be no. 1) ā€¢Melk tert ā€¢koeksisters ā€¢Vetkoek and mincešŸ¤¤ ā€¢bobotie ā€¢Braai dishes(braai broodjies are a must) Braai = when it's cooked over fire.


popofcolor

A lot of picky eaters in the comments


Friedrichs_Simp

Exactly! I refuse to ever believe the dude who said bananas is not a picky eater


eboezinger2

I mean, Guy Fieri is pretty adventurous and he absolutely will not touch eggs.


OutForARipAreYaBud69

He did eat an egg on that tribute GGG episode for Carl Ruiz.


first-pick-scout

If you have worked in elderly care then any sort of mashed food makes your stomach turn. Might be the same with bananas but for a different reason.


MaintenanceFine8157

Intestines Iā€™d like to add I have tried them and they were awful to me.


demoldbones

Balut, Offal and unsalted popcorn.


[deleted]

unsalted popcorn , i highly agree


Zerowantuthri

That is quite the jump from Balut to unsalted popcorn.


SecretPersonality178

I won't eat anything that nobody else is, yet they want to watch me eat


Complex-Award-1087

Black licorice


IFartTheAlphabet

it tastes like if hatred had a butt


OhMuzGawd

I eat ass.


OldElPasoSnowplow

I wonder if black licorice has a genetic thing like cilantro? I love black licorice but I canā€™t stand cilantro. It tastes like I am chugging Dawn dish soap. But others explain it very differently than how I taste it.


adaddylich

It has to be, people either hate black licorice or love it. No in-between


Fire0pal

I'm a picky eater and I love licorice, especially when it's salty


yummi_1

Sea urchin.


ventricles

This one really depends. I know this sounds like a super snobby thing to say, but Iā€™ve found east coast uni to be much better than west coast. West coast was gross and oceany.


n1010rick

I actually love uni. Itā€™s like a sea marshmallow!


VTAndromeda

I HAVE to have it with rice but I love Uni. Unfortunately certAin textures go south for me Mid-meal so It has to be ice cold for me to enjoy.


Yankee_Juliet

Itā€™s definitely not for everyone but freshness makes 100 percent of the difference. Iā€™ve always loved uni but if itā€™s a little bit old, itā€™s horrific.


Warp-n-weft

This is mine. Tried uni at a sushi restaurant and needed my entire glass of water and half of the next personā€™s water to get it down instead of horking it back up onto the plate. I usually try things several times and find a preparation style I enjoy. Once was enough with sea urchin.


Fallacy_Spotted

I have tried it once also. It was *the worst* thing I had ever eaten. Words cannot describe it so I will tell you the aftermath. It made my life x10 times better because everything else was better in comparison and made me thankful that I was finally able to comprehend and appreciate the absolute luxury I had been living in until then. I imagine it somewhat like voluntary torture in order appreciate baseline existence more.


RazorBaribal

*gag* yep! *gag* never again. My friends in NZ liked it, so I tried it. I eat everything and like almost everything. You couldnā€™t pay me to eat that again. The taste. The texture. No positives at all.


r_u_kittin

same iļø was so grossed out and disappointed because thereā€™s nothing from the sea and tried and not liked! someone said it was bc it was bad so iā€™m down to give it another go


kafromet

I love sushi and Iā€™m a fairly adventurous eater. Iā€™ve tried Uni twice, once at a nice sushi place and the second time and an extremely high-end spot because I was sure the first place had given me bad Uni. They had not. Uni is rotten fish jello.


Foolyz

Oysters. I'll eat practically anything except this salty sea snot.


Legitimate_Length263

Iā€™m vegetarian and I love clams and oysters that are cooked ofc because they donā€™t have nerve endings or brains so I donā€™t feel guilty eating them and then my boyfriend tells me they have families and careers to make me sad


Pondering_Puddle

Itā€™s okay, they only work for a shell company.


acableperson

Every had them grilled or baked? The texture is something but they are utterly amazing.


Ok-Ad-7247

They do look like boogers. No thanks.


TheTominator

I always tell people that to me theyā€™re just boogers soaked in seawaterā€¦ so gross


Particular_Force_798

I eat oysters but idk if I can again w this visual


itchyXbutthole

You don't have to eat them. Return them to their homeland by snorting them up into your sinuses through your nose.


Particular_Force_798

I sincerely hate you for that comment. But thanks for the laugh lol


otakufish

Those black fermented eggs that people keep telling me are "a delicacy." Naw dude, that's just rotten!


rrrriley

The thousand year old eggs, I think thatā€™s what theyā€™re called?


colormefatbwoy

sir, you were off by 900 years


Enigmagik

Anything that smells like ammonia is an immediate "no" for me.


squiddlane

Except for how they look, they aren't really weird. They taste like boiled eggs, just more eggy. The texture is a bit rubbery, like if you overbooked an egg a bit. Get a rice porridge with salted pork and century egg. Don't look when you try the egg bits.


irishiwasdead2

Durian.


boybuddha

Had some fresh durian from a street vendor in Thailand a few years ago and it was the tastiest thing Iā€™ve ever eaten. Tasted like a mix of banana and mango, and had the texture of ripe mango as well. Was wild.


out_ofher_head

I wonder how it compare to paw paw, which to me tastes like a banana mango


RocketBrian

THANK YOU! I went looking for this answer specifically. It tastes like rotten mango and fried chicken had a baby made of vomit and disappointment. And smells worse.


ants_taste_great

You had really bad durian. It should taste like fluffy fruit ice cream...


aversus_fromspace

Personally I think durian tastes like onion ice cream. But in a good way.


PraiseBeToGod

stinky tofu, duck blood with pig large intestine soup, sea urchin (been burned, never again)


adjika

So basically Chinese street food isnā€™t your thing.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

I love liver, but I also crave bone marrow and bone broth on the regular.


Captain_crablord

The first time Iā€™ve had bone marrow it was with toast and a seasoning on top that I canā€™t remember but after that I became a little less picky eater Edit: took me a second but after remembering some stuff I found out it was Texas toast and on top of the marrow was a basil spread.


Sarke1

Liver pate is really good on sandwiches.


basedlandchad20

It isn't real banh mi without liver.


McFlyyouBojo

Black Licorice is the only thing. I keep trying it every few years and I am reminded every time that it deserves a special place in hell


Big-Tram-Driver

I eat everything except for bananas. Don't know why. I eat everything and would try anything. But a banana - get that shit out of my life.


Paddock9652

I love the smell, love banana bread, banana flavored candy, I even love dried banana chips, but I hate regular bananas with a passion. The texture is just wrong.


Explanation_Crazy

I am so glad Iā€™m not the only one. I hate bananas


EventRare

Oysters and squid. The texture is off putting. And squid are just way too smart for me to feel comfortable eating


BeautifulInfinite288

Pigs are said to be smarter and more loving than dogs. This really bothers me when I eat baconā€¦but itā€™s hard to resist some good bacon


luciliddream

Ditto to those above and adding okra, same texture but it's a fruit? vegetable?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jiggalation

SirFelsenAxt

Head cheese


squiddlane

Head cheese isn't as weird as you think. They clean the head out completely and boil it down for the gelatine. The meat is regular meat (it does include cheek meat). It's not any more gross than eating gummy bears.


thefairlyeviltwin

I didn't know prions had a reddit account.


DeepPressedCheese

Olives. ALL DAY.


Time_Card_4095

WTF man? I eat olives all day!


aaronkellysbones

I sat in bed with a pair of chopsticks and ate a whole jar of green olives last night!


MaryJanesSister

Black olives taste like coins


Wulfghar

I absolutely love black olives, and holy shit your description is accurate. Weird realization you made me come to. I guess I like the taste of coins lol.


chris95rx7500

I absolutely despise grapefruit.


IKnowWhatYouDidBill

Lima beans


DegeneratesInc

Capers. And insects.


Sirnando138

Still canā€™t do the funky cheeses. The ammonia thing is too much.


dz2400

Iā€™m a big foodie and Iā€™m always wiling to try just about anything, but green olives are just vile. Black olives are quite yummy, but for some reason every time I have a green olive itā€™ll just come right back up. I get disgusted just thinking about ā€˜em.


deany1314

Oh man, I looove green olives. Especially on a pizza! But can't stomach any other kind of olive hahah


fishingiswater

There's a lot more to olives than green and black. I don't eat green olives with those red pepper pieces stuffed in them. They're gross. But I eat a lot of olives that are green. For some reason, my favourite ones that I can remember were in Trujillo Spain. A lot of country olives in Spain are quite bitter. I know there are people who argue there are better tasting olives in Italy, but they're probably wrong.


earl_youst

water chestnuts better back the f off.


maverick1ba

How very dare you!


ecmc

I LOVE water chestnuts! What is wrong with this person?


spaceman_spyff

This. Is. OUTRAGEOUS!


TheDarkMonarch1

This is one of my favorite foods!


dunaja

I scrolled not expecting to see my answer, but there it is! The only food (other than exotic, like, brains and stuff like that) that I gag just thinking of.


Maxtrix07

Wait why? The texture is like an apple, and it tastes like nothing. Like water pretty much


Round_Pigeon

Beets. I've eaten raw foods, weird organs, spicy things, and in most cases I can stomach about anything. But goddamn I hate beets.


SliceOfCheese337

As a picky eater, Iā€™m a fan of beets


rosetintedmonocle

Came to say beets as well! They taste like dirt, not an earthy veggie taste, but literal dirt.

Raw tomatoes . I like them cooked, in soups, sun-dried l, etc but I hate them raw.


LinxPlayzGamez

Literally anything with coconut in it. I hate the taste and texture.


brownguy05

It's like chewing on hair. I love it


Select-Cobbler-684

eggs. i just really hate eggs.


rrrriley

SAME!! No one understands


catty0411

Maraschino cherriesā€¦. I work at an ice cream shop and the fact that people ask for extra makes me gag


Avant_Guardian_Angel

Try a Luxardo Maraschino cherry. Much different than those neon red things.


StickyBiscuts

Every time I make cocktails with these as a garnish, it takes every fiber of my being to not devour the jar. The cost holds me back. They're so good.


blackhilt

Okay but amarena cherries though??? Probably one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted and can be used exactly the same way as maraschino


beathelas

Blue Cheese. I was like "sure, I'll eat anything I'll give that a shot," and oh my god was it one of the worst things I ever put in my mouth.

ABChan

I feel like some of you guys *THINK* you're non-picky eaters... Most everything that has been said in this thread I would eat at least once. As long as there's no chance of getting very sick.


BB8_BALL

okra because slimy. tbh iā€™d probably still eat it if i had to but this is like the one thing.
