The Grossest Thing You've Eaten
What is the grossest thing you've eaten? I was having a conversation with a coworker the other day and she was curious about the stuff I ate as a kid. She comes from a typical white bread all American family while I have a hardcore Polish family. I was telling her about some of the different foods we used to eat when I remembered the awful, horrid, disgusting pickled pigs feet. Oh yes, I have eaten a pickled pigs foot as a child and it still reigns as the number one most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. Of course my grandparents wouldn't agree. They thought that it was the best snack ever. I can remember then with a jar just snacking on them while watching T.V. like you would popcorn. I don't think I would have actually eaten one on my own. It took my brother telling me that they actually did taste like candy but you had to eat the whole thing to get the full flavor to actually get me to eat one. Ugh, the memory still makes my stomach clench a little.

Oh, I'm always good as a gross-out food taste tester. I love organ meats, so I'll eat all that stuff like sweetmeats and stuff. And I'll eat the gross stuff at dim sum, like chicken feet or that pretty lining of the cow's stomach.
I had crickets a few weeks ago, baked into empanadas. They were huge and whole. Crunchy, as you'd expect, and pretty good, but the backs were hard to chew. Kinda like the woody end of really big, tough asparagus. I think I'd prefer ants or crickets or something smaller.
I hear that chocolate covered crickets are quite delicious.
