talkpoliticsThere are great cuisines and then there are "oh-those-cuisines"... Strange thing is, some of the presumably best cuisines also include things you wouldn't dream eating even in your most horrific nightmares. There are things being put in plates that you wouldn't see even in a Survivor show.
There was a time I used to wonder: so, you're from country X, you go to country Z on vacations, you get to the restaurant, and you order what? Still the same old stuff you eat in country X. WTF. Why wouldn't you want to try some of the local (country Z's) meals?
But then I went to some countries and I tried that, and I found out that could be a preeeetty tricky business...

So what are some of the most disgusting things you've ever seen in a plate? Care to share some outrageous recipes, so I could try them at home? ;)

Date: 4/7/11 01:16 (UTC)Nattō can be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and slippery texture
What part of that do you want associated with your hangover meal???

Date: 1/7/11 09:31 (UTC)My paternal family is Icelandic/Jewish so there's a lot of room for scary foods. I've had more than my share of Hákarl.

Date: 1/7/11 09:47 (UTC)There's nothing better than Icelandic fare one day and then zapiekanka and goulash the next. Latkes and eggs for breakfast. See, on my mom's side, the ancestry is strictly Sami, but the food was more traditional Norwegian. Smoked venison with krumkakes every major holiday, lefse, lutefisk, etc.
Also hotdish. One cannot live in Minnesota without mentioning the crime against nature known simply as the Hotdish.

Date: 1/7/11 09:44 (UTC)Dunno, but most people would find some of our traditional meals "kinda" gross. Only slightly "kinda". I mean, look at this.
Lamb's brain (there's actually a saying here: "Yummm, brain" = so delicious!
Lamb's tongue.
Pig's intestines (with garlic)
Ducks' hearts.
With our great salads and lots of wine and/or brandy, what could possibly go wrong??

The most disgusting thing I've ever actually eaten has to be lutefisk.

Date: 1/7/11 14:05 (UTC)Adolf Hitler's in Imperial German politics as leader of the Social Revolutionaries, a party espousing Greater Germany. His commanding officer in WWI against Austria was Jewish, so his Anti-Semitism is no greater than anyone else of the times, while his Slavophobia is just as pronounced with Russia building an advanced combined-arms force. Hitler and the leader of the Social Democrats help to thwart military takeover, for entirely different reasons (the Social Democrats like democracy, the Social Revolutionaries despise the Junkers because Hitler despises the Junkers).
Josef Stalin is Russia's Lucky Luciano in the Transcaucasus, Lenin a dry and dreary commenter on Great People's ruled Russia (a position taken over by Lev Bronstein later on), and Nationalist China under Ma Bufang is currently co-operating with Russia in an invasion of the Raj that sees the formation of the Free India fascist state under Subhas Chandra Bose, whose decision to work with Russia to establish a pro-Russian regime alienates Gandhi and Ali Jinnah. Of course such an invasion of the Raj pretty much has killed the British Empire dead, but still.

Date: 4/7/11 01:21 (UTC)The KFC Double: I think this was smaller than the US version.
Hungry Jacks (Burger King) Quadruple Quarter Pounder. This thing, seriously, I didn't feel right for a week.
