The most disgusting?

[jamesdevine]

I don't like sprouts or cabagge and I am not a huge fan of chesse but if it's mild I will eat it.

I absolutly hate Liver :yikes: . From any animal the smell of cooking and fell of it when I am eating just turns my stomach.

I have eaten it but would reserve it for emergances.

If they are like the smallish grubs that live under the bark of a tree, I've eaten similar and they can be quite tasty fried up.

No, they're not small at all - average size is about 8 cm or so, although I've seen some as big as 10 - 11 cm. We used to collect them in the bush when I was a kid running about learning bushcraft in southern Africa. Flying ants was eaten the same way (mostly fried, sometimes boiled) - average size of a flying ant is about 4,5 cm or so.
This is a live one

And you may see a closeup of a dried one here http://www.nfi.org.za/Displays/Worm.jpg

Kath,

You're not supposed to eat the sloes until after they come out of the gin and you've covered them with melted chocolate! Trust me, they're good like that! Don't think it works on sprouts though.

Not natural food, but I'm not at all keen on Quorn.
I've gone off rabbit lately too, shame cos theres loads about.

Dave

hmmm I've still got about a gallon of sloe gin here with the sloes still in.....

 

[MartiniDave]

Forgot to say you should remove the stones from the sloes before covering with choccy.

Nope, different species. I hope that they are able to protect them better than they do some of their other protected species. Otherwise, the poachers will be on them and as we all know, they don't care about the environment or leaving the trees undesturbed for future generations of worms. They only care about the money they get when done with the job.

Hmmmn....
would have to be Guinea Pig-the national 'delecacy' of Ecuador.
Appearance wise was(the first taste is with the eye...), we were off to a bad start, as the thing had been panned, shaved(mostly) and then deep fried. Served in all its oily glory with little squinting eyes and splayed out claws :yikes: What was disturbing was the fact that their faces seemed rather more point that a guinea pig's which led us to the possability that we were eating rats...
I took one bite of some of the ''meat'' off of a hind leg- tasted like bland, Very chewy and oily chicken. That was my first bite, and after finding something hard-ish in it, my last also.
Our guides were happily noshing away, laughing at our faces of horror.
Worse though was when i cracked open the poor little blighter's skull and had a taste of the brain. This was absolutley rank, tasting slightly of egg(slightly!!!), but it was a dare from a mate and consequently I had all of my drinks bought by him later on(Needless to say, I drank rather alot )

Cheers.
PS Simple rules of survival eating:
Do not eat anything the name of which you cannot spell or pronounce; which is larger than your head... or tomatos!!!!

 

[maddave]

Plants? Sloes :yikes:
Critters? Limpets

Kath... I agree about the Limpets

However they make excellent bait fer a crab line

 

[TheViking]

Hi...

Cheers :uu:

Here are some pictures ... http://www.woodbridge.tased.edu.au/mdc/Species%20Register/limpets.htm

As has been said before, better fishing bait really but because they are grazers rather than filter feeders they tend to be safer to eat.

I've heard that if you want to eat slugs (then ) you must boil them in water and thereafter let them dry.... This should remove most of the slimy stuff!? Never tried though!

I steer clear of slugs.... they can feed on some nasty toxic stuff thats builds up in their bodies, not really good for you if you know what I mean.... snails on the other hand are another story ;-)

Worst wild food..... ummmm.... Has to be rosehip.... a nice cup of that soon made me oraly shed my daily calorie intake.... not a pretty sight....

[Great Pebble]

Chicken & Mushroom Pot Noodle.
With dodgy duck a close second. Duck is so variable and dependent on where the bird has been feeding.

 

[tomtom]

i have to agree with those of you who have said that limpits are pretty disscusting, but the texture is ok, where as winkles.... they are soo much worse texture wise and dnot taste much better!

 

[Danzo]

Cheese in all its foul incarnations. why anyone would choose to eat the stuff is beyond me.

The smell makes me violently sick. What's worse my wife loves the stuff.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Cheese is the devils sperm.

[Hjaltlander]

hmmm, I'm surprised no one has mentioned baked beans, the very thought of a baked bean on my plate with my breakfast would make me run a mile and go hungry for at least a week! (well 5 minutes, lol)

 

[Justin Time]

Dock leaf, verrrrryyyyyyyyyy bitter, yeuch

I wasn't too taken with the taste of Burdock shoots either, will probably give thew root a try this weekend

 

[Adi007]

Yes, very bitter ... must try dock pudding though one day!

 

[Ed]

How did you cook them?

Ed

 

[Squidders]

I once ate a ladybird by accident... thinking about it, they really do advertise the fact that they taste like s :***: t being covered in bright red with black spots.

Maybe it is disgusting to someone else, but I actually liked stone-grilled grasshoppers and wood larvae.

I agree with you on that (that it's good)
