Bumbar.
Lamb heart, lungs, liver, etc, diced and mixed with rice, onions, garlic. Rolled in internal fat linings.

By the gods, this is an abomination.

Cottage cheese isn’t bad if you eat it with something else.

 

[johntown]

Cottage cheese and pineapple is pretty good.

Nah I like it plain with nothing else. Pineapple would totally alter the taste.

 

[BlvckFox]

Tilapia, apparently it’s the shit of a cockroach of the sea. I’ve never seen so many faces of disgust when I mention it.
Im a nasty boy.

 

[Threeshotgamer]

My favorite snack is pickled eggs. Also really like potted meat on some crackers.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Pickles.

All pickled vegetables in general but I even make my own pickled cucumbers. And not just in one way but recipes from different countries. I can eat Polish pickles like the common plebeian eat chips.

Same goes for Sauerkraut btw. And kimchi, but that one is more commonly enjoyed.

I lacto-ferment a bunch of shit. My favorite thing is garlic. I'll go down to Sam's Club and get the big five pound bag of peeled garlic, and ferment it in a 5% solution for three weeks. Fresh garlic always on hand that lasts a year, and five pounds will last me about nine months.

I also make my own Sriracha by fermenting garlic, jalapenos, habeneros, and a little onion. Strain and puree, then add back in the fermentation liquid until you hit you preferred consistency.

Doce de Mocotó

Brazilian candy made of Ox's paws, guts and belly:

 

[AmuroChan]

Being from Asia, a lot of my western friends get grossed out when I tell them some of the weirder things I've eaten in my life. Some examples include tripe, chicken feet, turtle soup, pig blood curd, snake wine, sannaki, etc.

 

[iorek21]

As far as Brazilian food goes, Mestre da Pizza is the best one.



Disgusting, but it has its charms

 

[MaestroMike]

Beans. I eat multiple low-sodium cans per week (in my smoothies).

Definitely interested in trying black pudding/blood sausage, but I don't know where to get it in the U.S.. I remember reading that the Spartan soldiers would eat black soup:

The ancient Spartan melas zomos (μέλας ζωμός mélās zōmós), or black soup / black broth, was a staple soup made of boiled pigs' legs, blood, salt and vinegar.[1] It is thought that the vinegar was used as an emulsifier to keep the blood from clotting during the cooking process. The armies of Sparta mainly ate this as part of their subsistence diet.[2]

According to legend, a man from Sybaris, a city in southern Italy infamous for its luxury and gluttony (which gave rise to the word sybarite), after tasting the Spartans' black soup remarked with disgust, "Now I do perceive why it is that Spartan soldiers encounter death so joyfully; dead men require no longer to eat; black broth is no longer a necessity."[2] In another story, it is said that Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse, bought a slave who had been a Spartan cook and ordered him to prepare the broth for him, sparing no expense. When the king tasted it, he spat it out in disgust, whereupon the cook said, "Your Majesty, it is necessary to have exercised in the Spartan manner, and to have bathed in the Eurotas, in order to relish this broth."

No recipe for the Spartan black soup has survived, but blood soups are still eaten in various countries today, such as Greece (particularly in Laconia and Mani),[citation needed] Italy, France and Serbia.

Would be interested in trying that, too. Kinda feel like a vampire, though. lol

 

[quickwhips]

I love rice and gravy or biscuits and gravy. Both are amazing

 

[Kimahri]

Well, considering gaf central is terrified of soy and believes it will turn you into a woman, I fucking love tofu.

It's just one of the most versatile things out there. Dehydrating, freezing and other ways of treating it can dramatically alter it's consistency, and ot absorbs flavors like a motherfucker.

It's a shame most restaurants have no fucking clue how to prepare it. I haven't eaten out once where the tofu wasn't disgusting.

 

[nush]

Brussels Sprouts. Roasted with bacon and maple syrup.

try them with lemon zest instead of maple syrup as well, you might like it.

Haven't had it in a long time, but cow tongue was fine.

I didn't even know it was that until someone told me. I thought it was just some slices of normal beef.

Just curious whats all that white stuff?

LOL. For a second, it looked like a giant fancy cinnamon bun.

Dinuguan - Filipino pork blood stew

Papaitan Kambing - Soup with goat's bile and innards

For non native food examples, I'd go with:

Uni - Sea urchin roe.

 

[IfuckinghateReddit]

Shrimp it’s healthy and not for everyone, for sure

Love it but sadly I'm allergic.

As for what I love - dried squid. Also, dried seaweed. Either are good for a snack.

LOL. I got to say if that wasn't pork blood stew, it actually looks like an awesome bowl of beef with tons of gravy.

The white stuff is fat pockets, as you can tell in the other photo it all melts into the meat.

Dried is good but fried squid is amazing. It just needs a hint of lemon.

 

[IfuckinghateReddit]

Yeah, it is.

Actually I'd go with eel over squid. Eel is the GOAT.

Faggots

This traditional English dish is probably unheard of for a majority of GAF, but whenever I explain what they are (plus then having to explain how it is the name of a dish and I'm not being homophobic) I am greeted with a look of disgust.

A faggot is traditionally made from minced pig's heart, pig's liver, bacon (real bacon) and some seasoning that varies between recipes.

The faggot is served with gravy, mashed potatoes and peas.

Meal from the gods.

May I ask why that word became a slur for gay people?

When did you taste it that made you a fan? Your parents cook it? I've eaten it a few times at restaurants, Thai, Chinese, and Mediterranean, and like you said, I've never thought it was good. I pretty much do not believe that anyone could actually enjoy it.

 

[TindalosPup]

I refuse to microwave food beyond quick sides, popcorn, and heating vegetables, so I've grown to like food cold at work, especially burgers or mac and cheese, and I've literally had people call me disgusting for it

 

[IDKFA]

May I ask why that word became a slur for gay people?

No idea, but I know the slur came from America. In England, it's just the name of a dish.

 

[Hudo]

Pineapple pizza and toast hawaii. I know there's a meme going around where people find pineapple pizza "horribly disgusting" but I like it. And I can tell you from my weekend trips to northern Italy (Tuscany region) that most Italians are not offended by pineapple on pizza at all.

 

[Tschumi]

Natto with mustard and sweet soy sauce.

Also, Vegemite with a 1:2 ratio of butter

From wikipedia the gayest/friendly and most accurate wiki of all time.

The American slang term is first recorded in 1914, the shortened form fag shortly after, in 1921.[6] Its immediate origin is unclear, but it is based on the word for "bundle of sticks", ultimately derived, via Old French, Italian and Vulgar Latin, from Latin fascis.[6][7]

The word faggot has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women,[7] and reference to homosexuality may derive from this,[6][8] as female terms are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "faggot-gatherer", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meager living by gathering and selling firewood.[8] It may also derive from the sense of "something awkward to be carried" (compare the use of the word baggage as a pejorative term for old people in general).[6]

An alternative possibility is that the word is connected with the practice of fagging in British private schools, in which younger boys performed (potentially sexual) duties for older boys, although the word faggot was never used in this context, only fag. There is a reference to the word faggot being used in 17th-century Britain to refer to a "man hired into military service simply to fill out the ranks at muster", but there is no known connection with the word's modern usage.[6]

The Yiddish word faygele, lit. "little bird", has been claimed by some to be related to the American usage. The similarity between the two words makes it possible that it might at least have had a reinforcing effect.[6][8]

There is an urban legend, called an "oft-reprinted assertion" by Douglas Harper, that the modern slang meaning developed from the standard meaning of faggot as "bundle of sticks for burning" with regard to burning at the stake. This is unsubstantiated; the emergence of the slang term in 20th-century American English is unrelated to historical death penalties for homosexuality.[6]

Some gay men have reclaimed the term as a neutral or positive term of self-description

That does clear things up for me. Thanks for the info.

No, I've figured it out on my own. Trick is to get very firm tofu, squeeze the water out, freeze it, squeeze again, then marinate it in whatever you like and fry it good. Many ways to do it, ut main key is to just infuse it with flavor, which restaurants for some reason seem to never do. They often just fry it as is and put it in some dish.

Also they clearly often don't squeeze water out, so it's very spongy.
