Top 10: Weird things to eat.
10. Over 3-day old cafeteria food. We’ve all done it. Why do we subject ourselves to such torture?
9. Balut from Southeast Asia: a fertilized duck or chicken egg that has a fairly-developed bird fetus in it, cooked and eaten. I don’t know if this one’s that weird, people do eat eggs and adult chickens, so why not the chick fetus?
8. Cockroaches. After you’ve seen them crawling around a public bathroom, you will never ever want to eat these suckers
7. Peeps. Yes. Those colorful Easter candies. DIS-GUS-TING.
6. Booger-flavored jelly beans. They’re real!
5. Fish-eyes smoothie with hot sauce.
4. Snake wine from Southeast Asia. Definition: a cobra is killed and pickled in wine for decades until served. Do you eat the snake too? Is it like an extra large worm in your tequilla shot glass?
3. Brains of any kind. I had the “pleasure” of tasting this one while in Africa. The texture of chunky jello coupled with putrid aromas. And I don’t even know whose brain I was eating.
2. Durian fruit, if you’ve never tried it or heard of it, please do. If only I could see your face as you gag and your eyes tear up in discomfort.
1. Placentaghetti. (See earlier post on Placentophagy). Truly stomach-churning.
Now that you’re sufficiently nauseated, I’m off to lunch. Until next time!
