      Is that someone people actually eat?

      Probably, entomophagy is not that uncommon outside of western countries.

        I once went to an Ethiopian restaurant with my family. Never again.

        I can't even describe it, but whatever evil concoction they call their version of bread is easily the worst thing I ever attempted to eat.

        Whaaaat injera bread is really good. Not even an acquired taste.

          Balut, it tasted good actually but the physiological hurdles I could only eat one and could not do it again.

          My neighbor growing up had chickens and would bring us eggs all the time. One day, I was making boiled eggs with them and a couple of them were partially developed. I was around 12 at the time and I don't think I ate eggs again till I lived on my own years later.

            I think the most famous description of Durian is "like eating custard in a sewer". I've never tried it, since we don't get it in the UK, but I'm curious. I had a Malaysian friend who loved it, but said many businesses and public transport would have signs up saying no Durian due to the smell.

              A Pizza. It was in Milan. Directly in front of the cathedral. It tasted like a frozen pizza, and I was utterly disappointed.

                  Probably. I know it’s a pheromone and is much more concentrated in males making them more valuable/desired

                  My question for folks, though…:
                  When faced with eating a giant water bug for the first time, would you bite the head side first or the butt side first?

                  I struggled with this decision…

                  ETA: (for reference)

                      Camel fat. It tastes like how a camel smells.

                            It's honestly not bad after a few tries. For me, the texture and overwhelming smell was a surprise at first but the actual taste isn't that bad.

                              The only time I don't like pizza is when they use that weird cheap dough that resembles a giant version of what you get in lunchables

                                Properly prepared or improperly prepared?

                                I had a chicken sandwich once that was still pink in the middle... Disgusting!

                                  Minke whale. I've had hákarl and I prefer that over minke whale.

                                  How was it prepared? Whenever I've seen whale cuisine it's typically a piece of blubber eaten raw.

                                    Preface: All seafood makes me violently ill. I wish it weren't so, but here we are.

                                    While living in Switzerland we went to an ikea and found what I thought to be spreadable cheese in a toothpaste type tube. For reference lots of stuff over there comes in those types of tubes. Why not cheese?

                                    I was so excited to get home and immediately tore the cap off and squeezed a giant dollop of what my mouth expected to be something like cheez whiz.

                                    NOPE. NOPE FUCKING NOPE. It was some kind of fish paste with roe...

                                    I puked for like 30 minutes straight and couldn't get that taste out of my mouth until we found some kirsch liqueur that I also hate, but whose taste will overpower anything.

                                      Rancid butter. My mother bought it from a farm and insisted it was fine. It was so, so bad. I was only 4 years old at the time and I seriously thought I didn't like butter for years.

                                        It's like a sourdough pancake. Absolutely delicious, and even more so when it soaks up the juices from the rest of the platter.

                                          Witloof, its this variant of cabbage that is long thin and completely white. And it has one of the most pungent bitter tastes ive ever had the misfortune to discover. The taste is hard to describe, but it's similar to bee spit,also known as honey, except replace all the love and care that the bees spat with, with pure malice and wasp hatred. It is incredibly sweet, ungodly bitter and has after cooking the texture of overcooked pasta

                                          My mother used to serve it without sauce, ham, or anything else to hide it. Vile.
