- oball, on 11/02/2007, -1/+96Hilarious article, but I don't know how the Casu Marzu didn't make #1. I would rather eat any number of duck foetuses than a rotting, illegal cheese containing insects that leap at your face and burrow into your intestines.
- inactive, on 11/11/2007, -1/+67that was fun... the challenge now is to erase that from my memory.
- milo3600, on 11/07/2007, -0/+61In Ireland we eat the Welsh.
- MerryMortician, on 11/07/2007, -3/+45I'm American, I'll eat any nationality if she's hot. It's all pink inside.
- moonmilk, on 11/07/2007, -7/+48In Wales we eat vegetarians.
- Fracture98, on 10/21/2007, -1/+42Anybody else noticing how consistent CRACKED.COM is with this stuff. They have some good web authors.
Just saying. - Shayer, on 11/07/2007, -3/+43It's articles like this that allow me to continue my Ramadan fasting without constantly feeling hungry.
- cybourgeoisie, on 11/11/2007, -7/+36A tasty equivalent to this article would be a look at American food from the outside world - chemical processes, deliberate poisoning, and type II diabetes for every good boy and girl.
- miriv365, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22What?!?!? Why isn't the Broodwich listed here?
"Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in Hell’s half-acre, baked by Beelzebub, slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken forced into sauce by the hands of a one-eyed madman, cheese boiled from the rancid teat of a fanged cow, layered with six-hundred and sixty-six separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood. And mustard...DIJON mustard!" - Broodwich
"Well...how come no bacon?" - Master Shake
"Bacon is extra!" -Broodwich
"What, you call this a sandwich you don't even have bacon on it?!" -Master Shake
"There are no swine evil enough to be sacrificed upon a bed of evil...and lettuce.....BED OF EVIL AND LETTUCE!" - Broodwich - burstaneurysm, on 10/19/2007, -2/+23That has nothing to do with you being a vegetarian... it just means that you're a pussy.
- pathrw, on 10/23/2007, -3/+23I'm reading this and thinking to myself, "Crap. I wonder how bad number one is." Then I get to it. Balut. Of course, the ONE THING on the list I've eaten. ALSO DELICIOUS. And readily available in Asian supermarkets in the US... so get to it.
- johndi, on 10/31/2007, -0/+20If the list isn't bad enough check out this beauty from the comments

It makes balut sound reasonable. - HotBaconSauce, on 10/19/2007, -4/+20"For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat three" -Maddox
- inactive, on 10/19/2007, -1/+16"a rotting, illegal cheese containing insects that leap at your face and burrow into your intestines."
You say that as if there's something wrong with that. - RoastBeef, on 11/02/2007, -3/+17That's so nasty. What sucks is, I read about the cheese one as soon as I'd made a grilled cheese dish of sorts. It became considerably more difficult to eat what would normally be a delicious, fatty treat. :(
- Nougat, on 10/22/2007, -4/+18If god didn't want us to eat animals, why'd he make them out of meat?
- Stettenbauer, on 11/02/2007, -1/+14I always order larvae with my monkey brains
- markp93, on 10/23/2007, -2/+14Ahh balut.. very good with a San Miguel.
- Fluffiness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Eating a dog doesn't isn't any different than eating a pig, chicken, cow, snake, turkey, deer, buffalo, fish, goat, sheep, llama, seal, antelope, or chupakabra.
- bwiney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10not the best article to read right before lunch. today's trip to the market should be interesting.
- sp1keNARF, on 11/02/2007, -1/+11they fail to mention that the lutefisk is washed in fresh water for 24 hours or more to remove all the lye before eating.
- jftitan, on 11/11/2007, -1/+10Then you, didn't make the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich
- Error601, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11The bit about lutefisk and lye is idiotic. It's also used to make chocolate, olives, hominy, and a number of other foods.
- picaman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Wow. Makes haggis seem like strawberries and cream.
- graemee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8OK, just when I thought I was sick of "best" or "top" lists on digg. BEST LIST EVER.
- silfiriel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7and where is the fish that people eat half roasted and half (the head) alive. seriously half roasted and the head is opening it's mouth and moving
- pudgyv, on 10/21/2007, -1/+8How could the list have balut on it but leave out dinuguan (boiled pig blood soup) and bagoong (fermented shrimp fry paste?) Of the strange things Asians eat Balut is most benign.
- mortigon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6nothing like a nice bowl of Escamoles to start the day
- polymorphist, on 10/19/2007, -1/+7I'm from Eastern China and I've never heard of such thing.
- flave, on 11/11/2007, -1/+7I'd rather eat a quarter pounder with cheese than a duck fetus.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9The mice wine isn't from Korea. It is from Eastern China. Just thought I throw this out there.
- TheSexyGeek, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Yeah, because reading about meat is unhealthy and unethical!
- xtraa, on 10/21/2007, -2/+8I bet there is way more crap in teh average american burger.
- minefield, on 10/13/2007, -2/+7Everyone owes it to themselves to read everything written by Camerhil.
- edwartica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"It is made with rice noodles and a sauce that is predominantly sweet but can be balanced with an acidic flavor, usually lemon or lime."
I fail to see what is disgusting about that. - designerutah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It shouldn't. Eating fetuses is on the same moral level as eating the fertilized egg or the zygote. Whether it's at the beginning of its life, a short way in, or the near the end, what's the moral difference? The only one I see would be that it MIGHT be more moral to eat the creature at the tail end of it's life (it's going to die anyway, right?) or before life starts. Anything else, you're still eating something that was living and died to become your food.
- rjam710, on 11/02/2007, -0/+5I used to eat balut as a kid in the Philippines. That is, until one day I looked down and saw a DEAD FETUS looking back at me. It had eyes and wings and... feathers (those have to be the worst part). Suddenly I realized all the crunching I so enjoyed was the sound of that dead baby's bones (no, I was wrong, this is definitely the worst part). It gave me nightmares for a week.
I still eat the other parts of the egg though. The yolk is delicious. - acidkore, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Lutefisk is actually not all that bad. A Swedish friend informs me that this fish soaked in lye is apparently not considered actual food by Scandinavian chemists in the know.
- ekrabs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I can't believe I read that while eating my lunch. I didn't think it'd be too bad. I was wrong.
- Coffeedemon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Its supposed to taste decent. You know other cultures eat things we might keep as pets in the West, right?
I like dags but I think it would be easier to eat one than a duck embryo. - joeljkp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Nougat, meet cannibalism.
- pudgyv, on 10/21/2007, -0/+4Nope. Married to one. Hang out with many. I admit to liking dinuguan before I found out what it is.
- onestrawplz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5@ Nougat: you're made out of meat too.
- zholmquist, on 03/04/2009, -2/+6Oh the few people who would understand . . . When I had Balut for the first time, I put WAAAYYYY too much Salt on it and vomited instantaneously. After the initial shock, Balut tastes like . . . oh . . . Chicken Noodle Soup!
- cvrefugee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I ate baby squid cooked in its own ink in Portugal...never again :(
- oirvine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4oh please. that's nothing. everybody makes a blood sausage. it's also known as black sausage or black pudding.
- edwartica, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6It actually tastes wonderful!!!!
And at least its natural. - skyshock1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Reminds me of Maddox.
