[Closed] Foods that sound repulsive, but are actually very, very good

Haggis.

When described, sounds awful. ( see what I did there? Offal? Geddit? 😀 )

When eaten, is actually awesome.

I spent quite a long time thinking that Fetid Cheese didn't sound very nice.

The perils of learning the name of something without seeing it written down.

Roll 'n Pie {i.e a roll (or bap or cobb) with a scots pie inside}

Crack.

borscht

buckwheat

Chilled monkey brains

Sweetbreads are bloody lovely.

Green eggs and Ham, my fried Sam I Am introduced me to them, took a bit of convincing mind.

Black Pudding springs to mind, lovely stuff.

When I think about it milk and eggs are fairly repulsive and I won't touch milk, but I like an Egg now and again.

I do not like Green eggs and ham
Not in a boat
Not in a car
Not in a tree

Blood pudding: sounds like an embarrassing affliction but is super delicious, particularly in the form of Ronda Morcilla (which sounds much nicer).

A special, from Derry; fried rice, chips, curry sauce. Amazing! Also, from Derry, a sausage roll bap. Exactly what it sounds like! Neither of which I thought sounded nice before sampling. The former after several pints, of course.

Junket. I only realised it sounded strange as an adult, having grown up with it.

Actually, I was lucky growing up in rural S. Devon with amazing food all around. Granny made cream twice a week. Home grown veg and fruit. Great seafood and fish. Rarely squeamish about any food either. I remember skinning rabbits at scouts and then happily scoffing stew a few hours later. I guess rabbit, while not sounding repulsive, could put a few people off.

Fried boar testicles.

Ronda Morcilla

Ah... I like Morcilla dulce and in a few weeks my supplier* will be in town.

Dead animals, burned in a fire.

pigs buttock.

Apparently a speciality in turkmenistan.

Foods that sound good but are repulsive on the other hand ....

Chal . ill let you google that.

Pigs trotters.

Oh you said actually very, very good, not actually repulsive.

*bokes at thought*

[i]Dead animals, burned in a fire. [/i]

although I don't favour the French 'just badly injured' approach to serving meat, burned is not how anyone likes it, surely?

Les escargot

But then again I will happily eat half a pint of cockles.

Jellied eels on the other hand are just as bad as they sound

Dead animals, burned in a fire.

You know that some animals are made out of meat, right?

Some are even made out of actual bacon. 😉

Duck tongues.

Black Country Scratchings

Toad in the Hole

Pried Toenails

(Ok I made one up)

macaroni pie.
It just sounds so wrong, until you try it

Thank you Scottish Greggs

Macdonalds fries dipped in their milkshakes or dipped in Mcflurry

SURSTRÖMMING This I have to try 😯

I eat surströmming a couple of times a year . It's not that bad at all. Lutfisk is worse, or that rough rotten seagulls in bag business

Hákarl (fermented shark) is pretty good, so is Natt? (fermented beans).

Duck tongues

Oh yeah! Had some last week, as it happens. Delicious.

Yes, yes it is.

Although to be wholly fair, the taste isn't [i]that[/i] bad but the accompanying smell is wholly repulsive and it takes stones to actually put the stuff in your mouth after a waft. I also had a dodgy stomach the day after eating some but that might be down to the Akvavit beforehand to steel myself, the Akvavit during to wash it down and then the beers, just because...

Kimchee is strangely good to eat.

Trout cheeks

Haggis +1

Stornoway Black Pudding.

Can vaginas be classed as foods?

Granny made cream twice a week.

Frankly I'm surprised she's still lactating at her age.

Presumably, because they're likely in your hamburger... 🙂
