Balut, from the Philippines. It's an egg with a nearly born baby bird in it... that you eat. I haven't tried it, but I thought I'd just throw it out there.

OK,  thats about as disgusting as it gets IMO.   How anyone could think this was a good idea to even try is beyond me.

America really isn't a country that excells in really strange or odd foods.

Unhealthy? Sure. But I can't think of anything, outside of pig/cow testicles that are too odd.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Popcorn! I knew a guy from japan who tried it once, thought it was absolutely nasty.



What can I say, it makes me laugh.

Boiled tree blood.

I guess poutine too. Some people would consider that gross. Just look at this gallery of horror:

That herring looks tasty.

You're from Quebec? All this time, I never knew!



Signature goes here!

Trinidad - Black Pudding, which sounds similar to the Blood sausage mentioned here. It's pig's blood wrapped in intestine and it tastes really good TBH (with plenty pepper).

Patchounie, which is basically goat guts. I don't eat it but it's pretty popular.

Cow tongue, manicou, rabbit, tattoo (armadillo).

Hard to say what "Canadian food" really is. I guess fast food like hot dogs and hamburgers.



One more person who says 'blood sausage' will be shot.

It's called 'Black Pudding', and I'm pretty sure we invented it (British)

It's 'blodpølse' in danish, which translates to blood sausage. Shoot me all you want!



Morcilla: Rice put inside the tripes of the pigs, after having cleaned the tripes very carefully to avoid infectation.

Cui: A rodent that looks like a huge ass rat. Tastes like chicken.

Chicken's heart: Chicken's heart.

Cow Tongue: Cow Tongue.

Anything cow related would be extremely disgusting in India, so you Americans can say your beef is disgusting haha.

and it's "Blutwurst" in German which also translates to "Blood Sausage"

...actually in Austria we call it "Blunzn" which also is the word for "Stupid Woman", but i'll stand next to Rainbird to be shot in honor!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
