Man, I was supposed to go for a trip to Scandinavia this summer, but I think I'm better off staying far, far away.  So this is Shidol chutney, a sort of spicy fermented fish dish that my parents love the poo poo out of (personally I can't stand the smell), from North-eastern India.  This delightful thing is called Akhuni, and it's from Nagaland. I guess it's the Indian equivalent of natto but hotter? A friend of my mom's tried to make it in her NY apartment but threw it away after the neighbours started complaining that there was this terrible smell of dead rats and rotten eggs blended with poo poo.

Install Gentoo posted:So I have absolutely no idea what these things even are but here's some super gross looking food: This is a taco salad, looks to be a bed of lettuce with chicken, refried beans, cheese sauce and pepperjack, with salsa on the side. Have you never come home from work or whatever and just not cared what the food you ate looked like?

Yes, but you should just eat it and refrain from taking photos for the Internet. Hence the term "amateur food porn"  This guy, for example, made Romanesco look bad and I think that's a crime against food AND photography

r0ff13c0p73r posted:This looks like a chicken tenders over roasted turkey over lettuce covered in honey mustard. I thought this was one of those chicken roller things from 7-11. Which definitely belong in this thread.  I feel bad for having eaten this, because it is a bowl of sad deliciousness, but here we go -  (not my picture, if it matters)The Wawa Gobbler bowl. It's turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing in the same bowl. It makes me feel fat and warm and sluggish and I limit myself to one a year. Luckily they're only available around Thanksgiving.

Supreme Allah posted:Stop eating live food, people. Just stop it right now and we'll forget about what happened in the past. There's one on YouTube that really stuck with me. It was a frog, sliced in half, cold tossed onto its own frozen intestines. The top half was still alive and trying its hardest to crawl out of the bowl. Then it died. It was really, truly awful and thankfully it looks like it's been pulled.

My roommate in college used to make animal cracker nachos with microwaved marshmallow fluff and packets of Kraft mac and cheese powder. Pretty sure he just did it for attention because how could anyone possibly think that sounds appetizing?

There was an exchange student from Finland I was in university with who gave me candy called salmiakki, it was a hard candy that tasted like black licorice full of the saltiest salt ever, then I found out it was ammonium chloride. She definitely had fun offering it around to all us unsuspecting folks and watching as the salty centre made itself known. Dude, salty liquorice is delicious. Unless it's the same level of saltiness as Double Zout (mentioned previously in this thread), because that poo poo tastes like stupidly salty rubber tires.

I'm kinda happy now, since I'm in Scotland. Scottish traditional cooking is "Find the cheapest ingredients you can, and either fry or roast them." I can't even think of anything that would be horrible-sounding outside of haggis. I mean, cullen skink, tattie scones, Arbroath Smokies...all good. I guess there's Irn-Bru, which constantly terrifies non-natives with it's sugar content. It also outsells Coke in Scotland regularly.

I used to frequently post pictures of stuff I cooked on Facebook, though with full knowledge of how awful it looked and sometimes because of it. poached sole with white wine sauce, colcannon  stewed mixed seafood over black beans & rice  meatloaf, baked potato, baked beet, sauteed beet greens  "poo poo on a shingle, poo poo in the trees" Chroisman posted:I tried this cheese for the first time last year and I actually really liked it. The sweetness was very easy to get sick of in one sitting though, it's really rich. This is one of my favorite cheeses, and I also had it for the first time at that Norwegian restaurant at Epcot years ago. The last time I went there, there was one of those princess dinners going on one table over, and I felt super cool because I was a few months shy of 21 and didn't get carded when I ordered a cocktail. Good times. Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 13:52 on Mar 28, 2013 |

I've never personally seen it, but a guy I worked with said they eat it on his reservation all the time. He told me the best way is to boil it, I feel like it would be really chewy or tough because of the strength in those things. +

I Am Crake posted:Doesn't it have something to do with Dutch and Belgian mayonnaise tasting very different as its American equivalent? I always see Americans and Canadians complaining about mayonnaise when it's brought up while those that have come here have all loved fries and mayonnaise. We even brought a couple of jars over to the states because a friend who lives there said it reminded him of something his mother made back in Egypt and he wished he could buy it in the US. Usually the mayonnaise has different proportions of ingredients and is spiced differently. Homemade dutch mayo that they like on their fries is just some sunflower oil, an egg, a bit of lemon juice, a bit of white wine vinegar, and a bit of mustard. It's not like someone is throwing globs of hellman's or miracle whip on top, that's disgusting  My favorite bar in Philadelphia, Monk's Cafe, routinely gets awards for their fries, and they're by default served with an incredible bourbon mayonnaise:  To contribute: one of the nastier things I can think of is Potted Meat Product.  Ingredients can include: tripe, hearts, 'partially defatted cooked pork/beef fatty tissue,' pork skin, mechanically separated anything, etc. It won't win the nastiest food award, but is notable in that it's ubiquitous: walk into any supermarket anywhere in america and you'll find potted meat product. There is actually a market for it.

The usual fishmonger used to just display the readied tails but I always made sure to chuck a Monkfish head at toddler eye level just for entertainment during the day. Monkfish is the staple of one of my absolute favorite recipes. The first time I went to pick it up from the market the guy working at the fish counter was like "Are you sure?" Since then, I've become "Weird Monkfish Girl" to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3s8UUllBEQ On topic. When my sister started dating her current boyfriend she asked me to cook his favorite recipe for when they came by for dinner. I asked her what it was expecting something classic like fried chicken, beef steak, etc. and she said "Tater Tot Casserole". I'd never heard of it before so I used the first recipe that came up on Google:  It was disgusting. I made a salad with mixed greens and balsamic on the side and that's all my husband and I ate while he scarfed down the entire casserole and she had a polite "no thank you" portion. He then told me I should really use canned cream of mushroom soup instead of making it from scratch so that it wouldn't be "so bland". Barf.

 I had a couple cans of a different brand this stuff to gross people out, but gave my last can to an Australian couple who were getting tattooed. We were talking about different foods in Australian vs. the US, and I pulled this poo poo out from wherever I had it hidden. The look on the dude's face was priceless, and when I told them they could have it, he refused. The girl was rad, and took it to gross out her buddies back home. The cholesterol level alone grosses me out.
