They don't kill the squid or jab the squid, they wrap its legs around the chopstick and eat it alive!!!!! It dies in their mouth.
they have the videos of it on youtube....

So I thought I'd start a new thread for us to share with each other what are some of the grossest foods they've heard of.
Of course, the adjective of "gross" is all subjective...what is gross to one person may actually be considered a delicacy by another!! For example a friend of mine thinks raw fish and sushi is disgusting...personally for me it's probably one of the best foods EVER!!!
So I'll start:
** some of the below are not for those with weak stomaches!!! Read with caution!! ***
My dad used to travel a lot for business and he's probably seen some of the weirdest foods around Asia...here are two:
In the past in Vietnam, they used to FRY coconut worms. Now I don't know if they're called coconut worms, but this is the word for it in Chinese, and they do grow in coconut trees and apparently there's usually only one worm per tree. They are medium sized, white, fat and juicy. They would deep fry these worms...!!
** This one is really gross **
Not sure if they do that any more, but again in another Asian country they take live monkeys and crack open their brains...and you would eat the brain RAW!!!
In Korea this is considered a delicacy I think...live little squids are put on your plate. You then use a chopstick, jab it up their body from underneath, twist to kill the squid and then dip it in some hot sauce and just eat the squid raw!!
Okay, would anyone else like to share?
We love sushi and took us years to work our way up to trying Urchin...well the first time it was sweet and watery. Very nice. We should have stopped there.
The second time, different time of year, different restaurant, we tried again.... something was very wrong and we both looked at each other and spit it out!!! HAAAA gross gross nasty disgusting. will never try it again.
and one time we tried making stuffed squid (a favorite vietnamese dish with tomatoes and garlic) at home and let's just say, it was the worst dinner disaster of our entire cooking adulthood! smelly, bloated, just plain R-U-D-E.
UGH! LOLOMG!! And along with the mushy texture it was grosssss...I had bad breath afterwards...ush:
I'll share! but this one is real sick, (to me) i was watching the learning/geographic channels. After i seen this i was sick to my stomach, but i did sit there and watch it so what does it say about me. geez
anywayz.. theres this asian country..its suppose to be a delecacy but they wait till the chicken egg has develped an embryo after a certain amount of days..then they boil it and eat it! they sell them on the streets..the guy who ate it said it wasnt as bad as u think..i was like
OMG!! I was dying to try sea urchin after my dad told me what a delicacy it was!! I've always been a sushi lover so eating raw seafood is no problem for me...but like you I would NEVER try urchin AGAIN. My boyfriend and I tried it and it tasted like puke!!! And along with the mushy texture it was grosssss...I had bad breath afterwards...ush:
Not sure if they do that any more, but again in another Asian country they take live monkeys and crack open their brains...and you would eat the brain RAW!!!
