Watching Justin down those frog legs at Wendover got me to thinking:

What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten?

While in Ecuador I was served up a really funky bowl of fish stew. They have this traditional fish stew that's served every Easter. The fish is prepared by first leaving it out to dry up in the sun, then rolling it in salt. They then throw it into a big pot with other veggies and other gross things. They use every part of the fish - the skin, scales, head, fins - everything. Hands down the grossest food I've ever eaten.

While in Ecuador I also ate a guinea pig (pretty common food in the mountainous regions of Ecuador). They actually tasted pretty good. Tasted kind of like a weird combo of turkey and trout.

Well as of late I will have to go with the Mayan. Yeah the divers are cool and kinda cute. :roll_lol: But the food is straight up dog food. :puke: The first time that I went there I found a 6 inch long black hair in my salad. And yep you guessed it, it was found too late. The dill hole manager had the nerve to offer me desert after that. Like “oh I am sorry would you like some desert or perhaps some more salad to make things better." I felt like punching the punk. :boxing:

Then for my last visit it was the same ole slop that I got a few years ago. I will have to think on some all time stuff. In England the Africans serve stuff called Foo Foo! I will have to think on it. The only thing I can remember at the moment is the color white. Pertaining to the toilet after the meal. :fart: Not a pretty site.

Ugh! That's gross man!! A 6-inch hair!? Well, at least it wasn't short and curly! :twisted: Pretty nervy of the manager to not even comp your meal.

Actually, my first post was a lie. I would have to definitely say that the grossest thing I've ever eaten is MREs! Even though I've eaten them before, and I buy them all the time, I would have to say that they are the all-time worst thing one could EVER ingest! It's crazy how I CHOOSE to eat them! I don't know why! And then there's that awkwardness with having to ACT like they taste good while camping out in mixed company. I don't know why I do it!

In England one night we fried up a hedgehog!!! No joke!!! We would swerve for rode kill and then check that the guts didn’t spoil the meat. Then break out the biggest pan that we could find. A few little bunnies also fell victim to the insanity. Now that’s GROSS!! :puke:

It might explain a few things though…… :crazycobasa: Bring out the nasty food stories. If you have eaten somehwere and got the shoots. You could save one of us some TP and chapped flaps. :nod:

I can't think of anything super gross that I've eaten, but I did step in Human feces before.

That sucked. I didn't notice until it was all over my shoes, and even on my sock.

Alright, I think I can beat you guys. First of all the MRE thing. I ate those for six months. Every time we go out and train, thats all I eat. You get used to em and you start to find your favorites. Problem with those is...they don't give you the "shoots"...it's the other way around. Every four days or so. And when ya do...first it's :eek7: Then it's pissed: then :eek1: and :cry: All in all, it's more like this, :fart:

Ok, story number two. In falluja, theres these kids that run around selling/buying stuff. They are real hustlers. They came and through many hours of hand signals, noises, and finaly a picture of a chicked with a stick through it, we realized he was trying to sell us some chicken kabobs. A couple of guys got them. Ate em, said it didn't taste like chicken, and then got "the shoots" for about a month. Seriously a month. Come to find out, it wasn't chicken. It was dog. The things run around there like rats. To the iraqis, they are vermin.

Ya, I don't know why everybody bitches about MREs. They're really not that bad. I've never gotten diarrhea or anything from eating them either. My biggest complaint is that they're not big enough. I'm a pretty big eater, so just one or two MREs usually isn't enough for me.

Hey, I'm still blown away at the way they heat up! I'm probably way behind the modern technology on food, but the little heaters that come with those are cool.
And, they're cheap! I'm going to start buying some for the office so I don't have to go out and eat CRAP.

Ok now that’s going over board. :eek7:

Anybody ever watch that show on the Food Network called “Iron Chief”? It’s a Japanese cooking competition deal. They use the freshest ingredients possible. That means if they need milk then they have a cow right in the kitchen. They have some pretty interesting dishes that come out of there. You would need a strong stomach to handle some of it.

I am talking about the original Iron Chief, not the rip off American version that they have now. Those guys are a bunch on pansies.

Ok, granted, MREs are pretty good. However, eat them for six months strait. There are only 24 diffrent ones.

Secondly, eating them at work is not a bad idea but they have about 2000 calories per MRE. TUBBY TUBBY!!

Third, if one MRE isn't enough, they actualy have whats called a cold weather MRE. It has about twice the calories. I've only had one before and they are VERY filling. See if you can get your hands on some of those. That might solve your problem.
