Yes badgenome will keep taking questions until the 20th one.

Haha. No... but that shit is super disgusting and only serves to underline my point that Chinese food is bad, mmkay?

LOL

I unfortunately learned about that particular delicacy the hard way...

don't tell me you had to eat it! 0_0 I didn't know bout it so I just looked it up and wow..I don't wanna judge but god damn it I won't have that anywhere near my mouth.

and thanks to youtube now I know what a Balut is too >_>

what can I say... "when in Rome..."

Honestly though I don't have any special recollection of it being that terrible... so either it's bearable or I blocked out the memory

Just checked it myself. Ouch. I feel for ya man.

As for Chinese food, it varies. Personally, I hate most of it, but I don't mind a good chicken chow mein, for example. And we grow our own pak choi. 

But yeah, why would anyone want to eat that? Anything black which smells is...wrong. And the Balut? Erm...that's just sick.

*is sick*

I'm sure if you  were to try it, it'd be alright. It's just the thought of eating it.

Sorta like why a lot of people dislike Haggis. It tastes nice, it's the thought which goes into eating it I suppose.

I read that it's an ingredient so like you don't drink soy sauce to judge the taste you can't eat it directly to judge it....but yea I shouldn't be judging..might have to try it out myself

@Conegamer: yeah...and for some reason I'm still watching vids of such foods...newest one being rotten shark meat from Iceland 0_o..no comment

Erm...alright then. Maybe you should try this one:

Also, you'd be surprised at just how weird some food is...I remember reading a list somehwere of 10 weird foods. I'll try and find it

Edit- Here it is!

Wow... this thread has certainly devolved quickly

@M.U.G.E.N yeah I saw that same youtube vid with the century egg... (something about tasting like a regular hard boiled egg, seasoned with cat litter ). It's not like it's gonna kill you, but I really wouldn't recommend trying it.
