    travel channel had a couple new shows on exotic food the other night. Alot of coverage was on "stinky tofu". Really nasty stuff. I was at a chinese restaurant in CA with friends once. They ordered stinky tofu at the end of the meal, and just the smell was so bad that I had to leave the table. I can only imagine the stuff they make in China is exponential worse/potent.

    wiki
    From a distance, the odor of stinky tofu is said to resemble that of rotten garbage or manure, even by its enthusiasts.

    When I was in the Ecuadorian rain forest, I saw a bowl full of live larvae/grubs passed around. People just dipping in and sucking 'em down. A couple of braver souls in my group went all out... but I just had to pass. These things were twice the size of my big toe.

    And I'll eat just about anything. Especially if I've had a few cervesas.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Come on, Stinky Tofu wouldn't be good unless it stinks up at least the block on which the restaurant is located. Once you get pass the smell, it's actually not bad.

    Century Egg is not bad either....some prefer to dip it in sugar before eating it.

    But how about Uni, or sea urchin, that is on every menu of Japanese restaurant? That's icky.

    Tofu in the processing procedure smells like rotting garbage or worse. I have to imagine that this "stinky tofu" is simply unprocessed product.

    Years ago I was in the restaurant equipment business and still remember a sales call at a tofu processing plant in Washington, DC. The smell was so revolting that I had to conduct business outside in the parking lot. There's no way I'll never eat the stuff.

    I have a Korean friend who tries to eat it just about every day. I tried it and it tasted worse than it looked, which wasn't good.

    Apparently it's one of the healthiest foods around. *shiver*

    I've eaten fugu sashimi in Tokyo and lived to tell about it :-) Actually, it was quite good. I've yet to (knowingly) eat anything that was still moving, though.

    My wife and daughter have both sampled haggis, but I haven't had the opportunity. I'm OK with that.

    To me, liver. Any kind. Has the most wonderful, delicious smell when cooking, but also has the consistency of what I imagine I flush down the toilet would be. Literally.

    Last time I tried it, I was ten or so years old and my mom told me to eat my liver. Told her I didn't like it. She told me that if I didn't eat it, I wouldn't get to eat the rest of my meal. I got up to leave. She made me sit back down and eat my liver. When I finally swallowed my first bite, I involuntarily threw up within about a second spattering the table and dad.

    She never made me eat liver again.

    I love kimchi. I have a jar of it in my fridge. Otherwise, Korean food is probably my least favorite of the many, many things I've tried in my life.

    Well, Kimchi in a jar is quite a bit different than, uh, "fresh" Kimchi, but it's still gross.

    Anyone who eats rotten cabbage is going to natually have rotten ****. ;)

    I always like to think of it as "pickled" as opposed to rotten...
    What's the name of all those mini communal side dishes served during a traditional Korean meal? Out of ten of 'em, you can bank on at least five of them being suspect. Like curdled milk... or who knows?

    I also happen to have a jar of rotten **** in my fridge.

    Escargo. I had it on a cruise on French food night. They cut them into little square cube, so they did not look like snail at all.

    Liver should never be eaten any more cooked than very, very, very, rare or else it does taste and get the consistency of **** as you mentioned above.

    Living in Tucson, I've tried menudo, which is basically tripe soup, and being of Scottish descent, I'd be willing try haggis. But the first time I saw lutefisk back home in Seattle, I knew that was somethig I'd never try.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Any Arabic or Jewish food. Why do you think those people hate each other? They have no good food over there. Stuffed grape leaves, Kibe, **** made from mutton, dates and olives, goats, yak, sheep eyes and intestines, blood pudding, ox ****, and nasty fish from those waters poluted with human sewage. Who needs that **** in their diet?

    Send over some Boton Market and their thousands of years war would be over.
