15 Most Disgusting Foods From Around The World
 |
(Disclaimer: Some people may find these images disturbing, so please view this article at your own discretion. Also, I realize these are delicacies in some parts of the world. “Disgusting” is just my own personal opinion.)
CHICKEN ASS (also known as the Bishop’s Nose): Popular in Manila. One of the fattiest parts of the chicken.
ROOSTER TESTICLES: Popular in Taiwan. They supposedly increase male fertility and stamina.
CHITTERLINGS (or chitlins): Pig’s intestines. Popular in parts of the southern United States, where you can even buy them in a huge bucket at Wal-Mart.
CANNED CHRYSALIS: Before emerging as a butterfly, a caterpillar goes through a stage during which it is called a “chrysalis.” Still a popular snack in South Korea.
LARVETS: Crunchy worms. Available in three mouth watering flavors: BBQ, Cheddar Cheese, and Mexican spice.
CRICKETTES: Crunchy crickets, available in three delicious flavors: Salt n’ Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion, and Bacon & Cheese.
ROTTEN SOYBEANS (NATTO): Stinky, fermented soybeans from Japan.
WASP CRACKERS: Popular in Japan. Crackers with ACTUAL WASPS baked right into them.
BREAD SHAPED LIKE HUMAN BODY PARTS: Created by artist Kittiwat Unarrom in Thailand.
ESCAMOLES: Popular in Mexico. Ant larvae, harvested from the root of the agave (tequila) plant. According to Wikipedia, they have a cottage cheese like consistency, and taste buttery and slightly nutty. I’ll take their word for it.
PACHA: Popular in Iraq. Boiled sheep’s head. It’s cooked slowly, usually with the sheep’s stomach and feet in broth.
BAMBOO WORMS: Popular in Thailand. Insect larvae snack. They’re high in protein and fiber, and low in fat.
SCORPIONS ON A STICK: Popular in China. Most people say it’s crunchy, without much of a taste.
BULL’S PENIS: Self explanatory, and one of Andrew Zimmern’s favorites!

The bread looks cool and I’d be interested in how the artist does that.
The rest, I can live without ever trying.
Just think of the tasty sandwich you could make with all these (gulp) products. mmmmmmmmerrrrrrrr
How about the current batch of NFNS contestants create something with any (or all) of the above on a challenge: ;)
I have another contribution to make.

read fact #1
What they don’t continue to tell you in fact #1 is then they try to feed you the Mayan Caviar by “disgusing” it in a freshly made tortilla with a pinch of salt and squeeze of limon ;)
OMG – Gross. I would share this with my fiance, but he’s about to eat breakfast.
The duck’s blood soup looks particularly… gruesome.
For real. The “soup” is just like splattered everywhere worse than a cheap horror flick.
Chicken aka the bishops nose aka the popes nose is actually quite tasty. All it really is white meat with a bad name.
We called it “deacon’s beak” and was/is the only part of bird we never, never ate!
I’ll have to agree with you there. Although I prefer that of a roast turkey :)
Yay! I read this just before lunch. Totally makes this dieting shit easier.
BTW, I always ask my GF’s mother to *specifically* identify the meat she’s serving. “Beef” isn’t good enough. I’m on to her. Well, now I am. Don’t ask.
@Teague, I whole heartedly disagree with you about Bishop’s Nose (chicken ass) being tasty. It’s a lump of pussy fat and skin with hardly any meat. Also I’ve had them with this nasty yellow sac attached. It tastes revolting. I’ve been told it contains something hormone related. Disgusting!!!
I think the “nose” is part of what they call yakitori in Japan. It’s skewered and grilled. It’s part of a whole menu of bits of the chicken nobody else will eat. That should tell ya something! blick.
Yeah, this wasn’t the best thing to read during lunch.
My husband is Iraqi an he says the sheep’s head tastes as nasty as it looks!
I had calf’s head in France and, while it didn’t taste bad, the texture was gross.
Most disgusting post in FNH history?
Probably, Jaysticle! First “warning, this is some gross shht” disclaimer, too.
“Chicken aka the bishops nose aka the popes nose is actually quite tasty. All it really is white meat with a bad name.”
But located in an unfortunate place on the chicken’s person . . .
I have had tacos de cabeza (head tacos) in Mexico and they were quite tasty. It’s all in the preparation, I guess.
Blood! NEVER !!!!
Everybody likes their crickets to taste like a dressed-up baked potato.
“Chrysalis” sounds like a heart medication.
As for those head breads, they better be jelly-filled!
Every bit of this shit looks better than the stuff “Aunt Sandy” or Guy “Fartie” serves up!!!
speak for your self. serving up mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans is a whole lot more palatable than any of this stuff. and are those the names of YOUR aunt and uncle??? jerk!
I was fine until I hit the duck’s blood soup. It literally turned my stomach, and I’m not usually squeamish about blood. Wasn’t too keen on the human body part bread, either. Congrats, Jillian. You’ve got your work cut out for you if you want to top this!
Everything listed here seems disgusting in its own way, but that bread just seems wrong.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Don’t forget the rotten, fermented shark meat in Finland.
The chicken asses have no place in this article, truly one of the finer tasting parts of the chicken’s anatomy.
i just had deep fried crispy spicy bishop nose for lunch.. :) tasty.. and just had the last four.. before washing the plate..
by the way. u must know how to clean it properly.. i think it taste bad because they didnt cook it well n prepared it incorrectly..
I;m from the south. the chitlins are a delicay here but to me it’s just gross. they stink to high heaven but people love them with hot sauce. also brains and eggs is popular,you can buy the brains canned YUCK….. of course this is coming from a person that eats pigs feet and beef liver. I guess I;m choosy about the nastiness I eat :}
All I can see here is a list of tasty traditional foods. Where’s the gross stuff?
above in the list. did you not see it?
The duck’s blood soup looks like warm strawberry jam.
Some of this stuff looks quite appetising, the bull’s penis just looks like a big sausage.
Just wondering what end of the bull’s penis is the least repulsive to start eating from. The sympathy pains would kill me.
The bread and meal worms over lutefisk and balut? No way.
Yeah that’s not right that lutefisk didn’t make it on here. Crickets are like lobster campared to it.

How does Andrew get so chubby on such stomach-turning food?
“Most Disgusting”- relative to folks who grow up eating meat and potatoes. Fermentation=rotting=aging… cheese, wine/beer/other alcohol, pickled goods, breads, yogurt,…. Close-mindedness is something Andrew does not have when trying new foods. We’re all too accustomed to certain flavors and textures, and anything outside of that palate is difficult for most people to get their minds and tastebuds beyond.
fermenting is aging an item with the intention of preserving and/or encouraging friendly bacteria. there is a difference between aging and rotting.
….choke…
But it’s all the same people eat and live. We just are not accustomed to such a 100%.
Супер!
When my stepmother was on vacation in Spain, she ordered tapas at a tavern, what she got was thin slices of bulls penis, and she actually liked it! that was before she figured out what it was though:)
To be fair, the “canned chrysalis” is not technically accurate. It is a silkworm larva… and it’s really not all that bad. I’ve eaten way worse-tasting “normal” food.
Those “Larvets” are quite tasty. I especially like the Cheese flavor.
Also, that description on the Escamoles made them sound delicious for some reason.
Then there’s the maggot-infested cheese eaten in Sardinia….

This list made me sad, insects aren’t that disgusting. Where are the true nasties?
I guess I’ll continue to enjoy the common foods; I am NOT that adventurous!
oh hey..ive had the barbeque larvae snack things..i didnt think of it as..nearly as bad as rooster testicles..or scorpion..
That food look really gross and nasty. I can’t believe peoples eat that stuff…………. Totally Yuck!!!!!!!!!! Whoa but some of it did look cool don’t let me get you wrong.
Guess you haven’t tasted the first one. That’s kinda offending for me because I also eat that “Disgusting Thing” you say there.
Being a Trekkie, the crunchy worms seem somewhat interesting. And I HAVE bought chitterling in the Wal-Mart bucket. They’re okay if I cut them up small and cook them in broth.
Alton Brown, if you read this, you’re a food God in my book.
[...]always a big fan of linking to bloggers that I love but don’t get a lot of link love from[...]……

really this shyt is so fuqkin nasty who eats bull’s dick cum on girlz uride dick not eat it and boyz u if u eat it u r stupihhhd sick
bishop nose is ok, better than the other food.. how about blood sausage ? dont u think it is also disgusting?
blood sausage is made with the fat of meat and blood. i guess we forget that when we cook meat we are eating that anyway. so no, that’s not much of a stretch. but this list doesn’t include the really gross foods in the world like birds nest and live monkey brains.
