9 Horrifying Foods You Won't Believe People Actually Eat

You've probably heard the term "comfort food" -- warm homestyle meals made of familiar dishes that remind you of home and childhood and immediately put you in a good mood. Macaroni and cheese, maybe tomato soup and grilled cheese -- that sort of thing.

#9. The Octopus That Squirms While You Eat It

1. I didn't get past the severed human toe...

Mommeeeeeee!

[CBGLuthier]

2. Past it? I didn't even get to it. I saw your comment

and closed the page without even looking at it.

Thanks for the heads up.

[LynneSin]

4. You don't actually eat the severed human toe

it's in a cocktail drink and you are just required to touch the toe to your lips. Then the toe is cleaned and ready for the next person who wants to drink a severed toe cocktail.

You must realize it's not like they have a stockpile of human toes in the backroom or something like that.

15. Why do they have ONE?

Maybe this question is answered in the video but I can't watch it on this computer.

16. Oh-kaaay.

And I thought balut and natto were disgusting.

[Art_from_Ark]

20. There's nothing disgusting about natto

It's just a soybean-based food that is loaded with nutrition.

3. I was wondering where to get that.

When I found out that the Octopus gets cooked even more before you actually eat it, I was kinda saddened, since I was very curious about eating it raw.

I also want to try the drunken shrimp.

I've done the snake thing.

However, even I wouldn't friggin do the number 1 on the list.
Good god damn.

[LynneSin]

5. I like raw seafood but I prefer it to be dead when it's served to me

just saying!

[Xyzse]

6. I can understand.

It is just that sometimes, I am needlessly adventurous when it comes to food.

[LynneSin]

7. Then I challenge you to complete all 9 foods on that list

and report back your findings!

[Xyzse]

8. I mentioned that I am not willing to do #1.

The toe in a drink, I am not going to do either I think, since I don't really drink any how.

[LynneSin]

9. They could put the toe in a glass of water

you just need to touch the toe to your lips. And if you think about it the pickling probably kills any cooties. Of course you'd have to go to some far away town on the Yukon Trail in Canada to find the drink.

[Xyzse]

10. LOL

True...
Maybe even something astringent like lemonade!
That might be interesting.
No, it has to be alcoholic to disinfect whatever else is in there.
Hrm...

Blueberry Mojitoe any one?

[Xyzse]

11. Oh, also, the Fruit Bat one

Just because knowing the types of medical conditions I could get from eating it, makes me unwilling to try that.

So, the ones I am unwilling to do are:

#1
The Fruit Bat
The Toe - I'm on the fence on this one, since you don't actually eat the toe, you just drink something with a toe in it. The toe is a prop.

[KamaAina]

12. Balut didn't even make the cut!

Philippine fertilized duck eggs.

[LynneSin]

13. Neither did Cazu Marzu...

Italian Maggot Cheese

[Xyzse]

14. Ignore the duck, eat the yellow and white parts, and the soup within.

Goes well with rock salt.

[hobbit709]

17. I don't eat ANYTHING that's still alive and I don't eat anything raw that comes out of the water.

[Momgonepostal]

18. I've actually eaten #5

In Sassari, Sardinia in about 1990. I was invited over to someone's house and they served it, said it was a delicacy. It didn't have much flavor, so it wasn't terrible, but the idea of my food still moving creeped me out. They did NOT tell me the stuff we scooped out and ate was the gonads, though. Yuck.

[sir pball]

19. You missed balut.

Most of those are more theoretically horrifying than balut, sure, but..

"The Vietnamese often prefer their balut mature from 19 days up to 21 days, when the chick is old enough to be recognizable as a baby duck and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked."
