DURIAN!!
I don't know why but I think Westerners don't really like the smell.
Its pungent, heady smell is aromatic!! :DD
:happy:0 -
I'm curious. All of us "Westerners" are grossed out by foods from other cultures. Are there any Western foods that gross out people from other cultures?0

I'm no animal rights person, but the balut is incredibly cruel. I mean like psychopathic crazy cruel. I lived in the Philippines for a year, and I'm extremely glad I never got exposed to it.0

Cotija cheese smells like diarrhea but it's good.0

i regularly make bone stock. When it sets it's like meat jelly.
It's very nutritious....
I have to skim out the bones after 24 hrs of slow cooking.
They disintegrate in your mouth......
Is that bad? ( It's high in minerals esp. selenium)0 -
Don't make me eat it... Please
EwwwLard sandwich
oh please! Don't knock it till you try it!0 -

I don't think that's gross at all!
Even with regular meat soups, the best ones are always the ones with the bones included (you take them out after). They impart a great flavour to the soup and you're right, very nutritious. Sometimes we'd even eat the marrow from inside 0 -

It's really not all that bad. It's gotten an unfairly bad rap. Look up the nutrition info.. less saturated fat than butter, and has unsaturated fat. Also it makes the flakiest pie/pastry..

After trying the japanese Omurice (light omelette on rice, served with ketchup) I've started having ketchup on all kinds of fried egg. Just makes them better.0 -
My 2 cents worth... The OP wanted to shock so it's a bit rich she gets on her high horse and expresses her upset with people being rude. No one is mocking the culture - just the fact you chose to call out with excitement your weird food fetishes...
I've done alot of traveling, but both those things I couldn't consider, same goes for cat or dog...
I have had quite often goat which I like (you can buy it easily here in Australia) and amongst other things rabbit (they are a pest!), emu, buffalo, crocodile oh and of course kangaroo.
Traveling through Egypt I once tried pigeon. Way too many bones for me. Through Cambodia earlier this year my boyfriend tried an array of spiders, crickets, water bugs and other weird insects. He said the frogs stuffed with lemon grass were lovely. I don't go guts. So nothing whole for me. I also don't like feet.... Ewwww.0 -
I was in the Marine Corps during the 80's and we went to the Phillipines quite frequently. It was a ritual when we went out in town to raise hell that we would always make the new guy eat Balut. So yes I have had it and surprisingly its not bad, the beak is a bit crunchy though.0

I think I just turned vegan.0

Apparently I am tame too! I will try most things and am getting more adventurous. I won't try chitlings though. I love vinegar based things.0
-
Horse. I really like horse. Especially raw.0
-
I'd try it. Probably like it too since I like to eat "real" fried pork skins.

That's when you know you've eaten balut!I was in the Marine Corps during the 80's and we went to the Phillipines quite frequently.

Then you may like dinuguan (blood stew). We make it with vinegar.Apparently I am tame too! I will try most things and am getting more adventurous. I won't try chitlings though. I love vinegar based things.

Yup. She.
I also wouldn't call it a weird food fetish, it's a traditional dish. I would be interested in the dinuguan, but probably not the balut. I don't even like fried chicken with bones in it.0 -
I'm no animal rights person, but the balut is incredibly cruel. I mean like psychopathic crazy cruel. I lived in the Philippines for a year, and I'm extremely glad I never got exposed to it.
Compared to the way that commercial chickens and other food animals are currently raised and slaughtered today, that little duckling's death seems pretty humane to me.0
