I was at a party where this guy with a hairlip was selling toothbrushes for $50. He had free samples of pate’ on crackers, 3 in a row. He’d encourage us to try one, then the 2nd one, and hey, they weren’t bad. So we would try the third one and it tasted exactly like Sh!!te.
He would say, “It is Sh!t, ya wanna buy a toothbrush?”
Without getting too exotic, here are a few:
It's that stuff used in hospitals and doctor's offices. You know, that clear gooey KY stuff?
So you're a Gary Burbank/Gilbert Gnarley fan?
No discussion of frightening food is complete without including James Lileks' Gallery of Regrettable Food.
my wife found a recipe for “Cincinnati chili” last week somewhere.
well, I had never heard of it, were from Chicago.
I saw the recipe on the counter, it had cocoa in it. I thought “hmm, we may be eating out when she makes that”
And... it was served on spaghetti....
Now, I was skeptical. I’m a big fan of Texas Red myself. But... I have to say, it was excellent. Even my kids, who hate chili, loved it.
It was not what I would call chili, but it was a tasty dish nonetheless. Surprised the heck out of me.
Need I say more...
My college version:
College New Year’s party (after I hadn’t eaten any sugar for a year and a half)
Southern Comfort
Semi-sweet chocolate nonpareils
Emergency room
That was fun.
Ah! The first Lileks reference. I am looking at a copy of his brilliant “The Gallery of Regrettable Food.” :)
BUT FOLKS....REMEMBER...IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT YET...PLEASE DONATE TO FR AND LETS GET THIS FREEPATHON FINISHED...
For this, and many other obvious reasons, I think I am truly sorry I clicked on this thread so close to bedtime. ;-)
Many moons ago, 7-11 sold a vinegar-and-battery-acid-soaked sausage snack called a "Red Hot Mama." A quick glance at the ingredient list revealed the primary ingredient. "Beef Lips."
The next ingredient? "Other Beef Byproducts." So then, what don't you want us to know about after you've already admitted to beef lips?
I once sliced up a dozen or so of the evil things, put them on a plate with cheese and toothpicks, and took them to a party. Everyone agreed that they were excellent, at least until I showed them the labels.
I’ve had food poisoning three times.
The first was from a liverwurst sandwich I ate at the age of 5. I thought I would die.
Second time, chopped steak sandwich at a steak place. Sick, but not calling for death.
Third, a now closed, but then well known restaurant I ordered a crab appetizer in...did some great puking in the driveway.
If is taste even slightly OFF don’t eat it. Don’t think it is the seasoning or the different cooking style, it is probably just bad.
That’s too funny!
I had a thought once [yes, as unlikely as that seems] that if you threw wax beans into boiling oil, they might come out like french fries.
Never got around to experimenting, though.
Same sulfuric compounds.
Coincidence?
You just *had* to ask, didn’t you?
;D
Aw shucks.
Thanks.

The dog is much prettier, IMO.
;D
I had it *once*.
An accident destroyed my sense of smell so I’m sorta living on the edge, food-wise all the time.
I bought some deli chicken salad and it kinda “fizzed” in my mouth and burned.
I gave it to hubby for a sniff test and he pronounced it “fine” so I ate it, thinking it was possibly just too heavy on the vinegar.
-Wrong-!
Worst 3 days ever.
The doctors have yet to figure out *why* my sense of taste is more acute than that of people who *can* smell.
[and I’ve never trusted hubby’s “taste tests” after that]....LOL
Raw shrimp in Japan.
