How Could ANYONE Put This Stuff In Their MOUTH?!

The 6 Most Disgusting Foods in the World

#6.Escamoles



From:
Mexico.

What is it?
Escamoles are the eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant, which makes its home in the root systems of maguey and agave plants. Collecting the eggs is a uniquely unpleasant job, since the ants are highly venomous.

The eggs have the consistency of cottage cheese. The most popular way to eat them is in a taco with guacamole.

Escamoles have a surprisingly pleasant taste: buttery and slightly nutty. This hugely increases the chances that, while in Mexico, you could eat them without realizing you are eating a taco full of ant eggs.

Considered to be a rare delicacy and aphrodisiac. Extremely expensive.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Not sure.


#5.Casu Marzu



From:
Sardinia, Italy.

What is it?
Casu Marzu is a sheep's milk cheese that has been deliberately infested by a Piophila casei, the "cheese fly." The result is a maggot-ridden, weeping stink bomb in an advanced state of decomposition.

Its translucent larvae are able to jump about 6 inches into the air, making this the only cheese that requires eye protection while eating. The taste is strong enough to burn the tongue, and the larvae themselves pass through the stomach undigested, sometimes surviving long enough to breed in the intestine, where they attempt to bore through the walls, causing vomiting and bloody diarrhea.

This cheese is a delicacy in Sardinia, where it is illegal. That's right. It is illegal in the only place where people actually want to eat it. When prodded, it weeps an odorous liquid called lagrima, Sardinian for "tears."

If the maggots are still wriggling, then it's okay to eat. If the maggots aren't wriggling, that means the cheese has become toxic.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Most likely would be illegal here, too, for health reasons.


#4.Lutefisk



From:
Norway.

What is it?
Lutefisk is a traditional Norwegian dish featuring cod that has been steeped for many days in a solution of lye, until its flesh is caustic enough to dissolve silver cutlery.

Lye (potassium hydroxide/sodium hydroxide) is a powerful industrial chemical used for cleaning drains, killing plants, de-budding cow horns, powering batteries and manufacturing biodiesel. Contact with lye can cause chemical burns, permanent scarring and blindness.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Lutefisk is already more popular in the United States than in Norway.


#3.Baby Mice Wine



From:
Korea.

What is it?

Baby mice wine is a traditional Chinese and Korean "health tonic," which apparently tastes like raw gasoline. Little mice, eyes still closed, are stuffed (while still alive) into a bottle of rice wine. They are left to ferment.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Not very likely. Also, most likely would be illegal here.


#2.Pacha



From:
Iraq.

What is it?
It's a sheep's head. Boiled.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Not sure, but who knows? Perhaps.

#1.Balut



From:
The Philippines

What is it?
Balut are duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.

Considered to be a rare delicacy and aphrodisiac. Extremely expensive.

They are enjoyed in Cambodia and The Philippines. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Not very likely. Another possibly illegal item.



My vote goes to #5 for most sickening...#1 would be my second choice.
