Mushrooms out of a can (slimmy)!
Omigosh - it's Fear Factor Extreme!!

LOL Linda, yeah who's taking names and watching me sleep?
EWWWW you win the gross contest too...raw liver, blood, EWWWW!!!
I've heard of Lychee Brisen what is it?
Lychee is a type of tropical fruit, and INCREDIBLY nasty!Thanks Katie
Linda, you went on a safari??? Wow I'm so impressed. My son's dream when he was little was to go on a safari. He put money in a jar and named it "his avrika fund" hee hee
oK, SO I am not afraid of spiders, but the grossest thing that I have ever eaten was raw fish in Holland. We were at a market and my husband loves to try new things. *In Alaska he actually tried Whale blubber* So, me being the type of parent I am I did not want to rob my kids of something they like, and they might have their dad's weird tast. So, I am not kidding you, the fish was raw, except I guess it was kippered, which just meant it was salty raw fish.
I also hate the bug thing when I am riding my bike outdoors. I don't know why, but the just fly into the bat cave whenever they get a chance. I have choked on more bugs,,,yuck! And my hubby laughs too. He says MOST people do not ride with their mouths open.
Oh, and I was a great American dirt eater only one time there was a worm. YUCK!!! I did spit it out,but juice could not even get rid of the taste.
That antibiotic that the dentist gives you for infected wisdom teeth, Metrinodazole.They are like swallowing a giant salty loogie.
Mind you I have the worlds most sensitive gag relfex so it doesn't take much for me to gag. My family has great fun getting me to do it in public.
The sound of someone blowing their nose will make me gag. Seeing a kids snotty nose (or even thinking about it). Sometimes wearing a necklace will make me gag. Brushing my teeth can do it, as can holding a piece of paper between my teeth. Cleaning up cat barf makes me dry reach. Can't wear a turtle neck or I gag or a scarf.
The one the family finds funniest.........I can't stick a q-tip in my left ear (only the left) without gagging. That gets them in hysterics every time.
Even thinking about some of these things, especially snot is enough to make me gag. Excuse me please while I go dry reach now
Nope, tastes kinda like what I think rotting wood would taste like.
ewwww Peaches. Can't stand 'em! The texture, the taste, especially the SMELL. The sight or smell of them make me want to vomit. Peaches are NOT allowed in my house. We eat all kinds of fruit - strawberries, grapes, bananas, apples, oranges, kiwi, pineapple. But absolutely no peaches. The kids eat them at school, and at my dad's house, but I've never bought canned or fresh peaches. Not even baby food.I must be weird, because I love trying new things. brussel aprouts are my fav. veggiy, and I love raw oysters. We can go right out to the oyster beds here and eat them right out of the water while picnicking
now liver is a different story. Hubby loves it, but it is not allowed in my house, ever! When my mom used to cook it, I couldnt even go home that day. grossssss! I would eat spiders before even smelling liver. There is no amount of money you could give me to try a taste. ,000,000,000 would not be enough. I get the heebie jeebies thinking about it.
When my mom made liver when I was a kid she always mashed potatoes to go with it. I used to try and drown out the liver taste, but it wasn't happening. I puked right on my plate once and my mom was PISSED. She thought I did it on purpose.
I used to save the brussel sprouts till last, cram them all in my mouth then say..I'm going to Kim's and go outside and spit them in the curb on the way to Kims house. Clever, huh?
Jasmine...I'm with you on the peaches thing. NASTY!!!!
I think the most disgusting thing I have ever put in my mouth was tripe. Ewww that was gross. All rubbery. Yech!
[QUOTE=RAJay]Ewwwwww I hate spiders. Sorry Moana but I still had a good laugh at your telling of it. Well that and Joonies obsession with Turds lately.[/QUOTE]
Well, I have a 2 year old, Jay. Turds is a part of my everyday life
My daughter is obsessed with saying the word "fart".
[QUOTE=Linncn]Ya know, they say that you consume 8 spiders while sleeping in your lifetime. I don't know how they know that though.[/QUOTE]
Now I will never sleep. I would rather have snakes and lizards, like Aruba, than ANY INSECT....we have "spider crickets" which look like an alien spider that hops...I have been attacked on the couch...no fun at all.
Linncn- I used to live in South Africa. where did you go hunting?
The nastiest thing i ever put in my mouth was the end of a lizards tail.YEUKK! We were living in africa and the lizards would run across the ceiling, if they got frightened they would drop the end of their tail, well just my luck it was in my dinner( my sister knew ) I ate up but she kept looking at me and laughing, eventually she told me and i ran to the bathroom to chuck up. I used to spent meal times making sure the lizards werent around.
You lived there? I think SA was probably the most beautiful place I've been. I wanted to move there so bad when we came home. We stayed in a city called Ghanahoek...I've probably messed up the spelling. It was a couple hours out of Port Elizabeth.
Pin, how long did you live there? Do you miss it?
You guys have me laughing so hard, it hurts!!!
Reading your post, Pammy, I could actually hear you talking! Scarey, huh? I don't belly-laugh often, but between Pammy's loogie-like oysters (which I agree with, by the way) and the guinea pigs that followed, I have laughed more than I have in a long time.
I don't think I can possibly top these things, as far as yuckieness goes.. My worst was many years ago, when my kids were young, my first husband went to get us burgers from Burger King. We were in the yard eating and I looked down at my burger, which I had been eating, and there was a HUGE Green Worm in it!! I'm not sure if I ate any of it or not as I really didn't want to inspect it. My first husband was an ass..he just said "oh, it's only a tomato worm, just take it out." He wouldn't take it back for me, though.
Needless to say, it was many, many years before I ate anything from fast food places again.
See? you all just put me to shame. I will never be able to top yours.
Thanks so much for a much-needed roll on the floor. Now who's coming over to pick me up?
Have a great week-end,
Nini
Mmm when we lived in Texas my mom had a good friend named Mari (we pronounced it Maud-ie, she was puerto rican and thats how it came out with her accent!) Anyway, we were ALWAYS eating with her and her kids while dad and Mari's hubby were TDY. We ordered pizza from Domino's one night, and Mari was downing a piece before she even sat the box down for us, when my mom looked into the box and said "ew....why is that peperoni moving?" Mari about PUKED and looked down to see COCKROACHES on the pizza.........EW EW EW! She was lucky and didn't bite into one though....
Ewww! Katie, that's gross.Ewwwww, ewwwww, ewwwww!!!
My stomach hurst from laughing though!!
I can't begin to top these either...but when I was about 8 yrs old we went to a friends' cabin on the river. Well, the dad was making lobster- which I passed on. ( not a big seafood person) Well, someone was going around handing out little cups of what I thought was orange juice. I remember thinking, " How odd...OJ w/lobster?" But what the heck, I love OJ. So I downed it.....then found out it was melted butter. Not gross in itself....but I HATE butter by itself (My kids will lick it right off the dish if I'd let them!?) and downing that much of it was just nasty.
Can't top some of those nasty ones though!!
OMG I hate roaches they're the ultimate in nasty to me! One time we bought an almost new microwave from hubby's nephew and wife because they needed money. Well I cleaned it real good, pretty dirty, but microwaves get that way pretty easily. Turned off the light in the kitchen, went back abour an hour later and roaches were everywhere!!! EEEEWWWW. I screamed, hubby come running, all I could do was point, he saw and grabbed the MW and took it outside to the deck. We sprayed and cleaned forever to make sure those little boogers didn't too comfortable in my kitchen!!!
The next day I had a repairman come out and he took off the back and exposed the motor and stuff and it was full of babies and eggs and adults (gagging here) and I learned that warm places like that are a favorite breeding ground for roaches! So BE CAREFUL when you buy small appliances, especially used ones, Discusting!!
Ewwww when I was little (2,3,4) I used to sneak finger scoops of butter and eat them *gags* Our cat, Patches, also had an affinity for the butter dish. Between the cat and I, mom couldn't leave butter out ANYWHERE for more than a few seconds....
EWWWW my niece did that with raw biscuit dough and butter. YUKKY!!!

Today, I can't even SCOOP butter, it makes me want to puke. I'm gaging as a write this.....whenever a recipe calls for butter, I have to make Justin measure and mix it for me....
[/QUOTE]
LOL - I have a sister who would eat sticks of butter like bananas when we were kids! EWWW!!
OH Lin , I ate bear meat when I was little, racoon, squirrel, deer, elk, baked rabbit,. I was told it was all chicken
We have some giant madagascar hissing roaches at work.
Katie, your butter story reminded me of my friend when we were kids, she'd take huge hunks of crisco and roll it in sugar and put the feed bag on............NASTY
Mona...bear meat is supposed to be really nasty, greasy or something. Did you like it? We ate the testicles from the Cape Buffalo I took (in one shot!). Seasoned, grilled, sliced and served on a toothpick.Boy Linn, you have really had an adventurous life! But, I'm sorry, warm raw liver, and cape buffalo testicles? EUWWWWW!!!!!
My stomach is turning as I type this!
My other question is, wasn't it hard to shoot a critter? I don't eat much meat, but I definitely don't want to see it alive first! OR be the one to do it in, so to speak!
Testicles on a toothpick?
Buffalo testicles on a toothpick wins! I'd eat bear before I ate those sliced testicles.
Well, yes it was. But it was really such a challenge, I mean it was very hard work, climbing mountains, hiking through rainforest, trakking though desert areas. Some days I'd get back to camp blistered and bloody from thorns. I can really appreciate the sport now, it isn't easy. Still, where I would LOVE to back to Africa again someday, I don't think I would hunt again. I'm not anti or anything, I guess I just wanted to see if I could do it. You know, if I was up to the physical challenge of it and if I had the guts. A Cape Buffalo will come after you if you just wound him. And they'll kill ya. But now I know I can do it. I kinda like doing what I'm scared of, ya know?
Someone should tell me to shut up...I talk too much.
Linda
When I was about 13 I was chewing some bubble gum. I liked to blow bubbles. Well it was night time and I was walking up our back porch steps blowing this huge bubble. I sucked it back in,started to chew and bit into something. I spit out my gum and found a big chewed up moth. It was the most bitter, grossiest thing I had ever tastied.EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW chewed up moth! *gag*
Linda, you don't talk too much.......as far as Joonie and I are concerned, you're small potatos.....hahahaha You've got US to keep up with here!!!!
LoL I don't remember what ANY of it really tasted like I was probably 5 to 10 at the most, after that I wouldn't eat any of the "wild" meats. I remember the bear meat being a red meat, the baked rabbit was good, squirrel and gravy was gross, racoon was greasy and gross, deer meat is good if marinated and cooked right, mom soaked in vinegar and milk to get the wild taste out. She cooked an opposum one time but nobody tasted that but my dad *gag*. We raised our own, chickens, beef, and pigs, had fresh milk, eggs, goats and/milk, fresh vegetable gardens, fresh butter and *lard*, it really was great to grow up on a farm. My mom was always an organic gardener and I just took it for granted. I pay a fortune for foods like that now.
We are a sick little crew...
Edited to add:
Did you know you can buy chitlins by the bucket at our Wal-Mart?!
You DO know where you live right? Why are you surprised about this?
EWWW no chittlins for me but my mom made them! Now homemade fried pork rinds were/are my favorite. Kind of like "cracklins", great in corn bread
No, never had it here but I'm surprised we didn't
NO MORE!
Joonie..that eyeball thing. That is just sick.
Tinker...do you mean you quit smoking them, or you quit eating them??
Either way, congrats
Hummm, thinking about the scrapple it sounds sort of like what we call "livermush". I hate liver but this is kind of minced with lots of spices and cornmeal and you can't taste the liver. I'ts yummy if you can get the best kind, not liver pudding. We fry it for breakfast, sandwiches or a quick dinner with vegetables.
Eyeballs, now thats pretty discustingI was in Kyoto, Japan as the (now ex) wife of the President (my ex) of our local Rotary club exchange trip. So I got extra special treatment, which was terrific. We were served a bentwood box of fabulous Japanese food at this unreal restaurant and on top was what I thought looked like a ball of butter. The food was artistically built up into a pyramid shape with this ball of yellow matter on top. So I take my chopsticks and pop it in my mouth and our host says "bone marrow". I almost threw up. Our hosts were laffing so hard they almost rolled off their pillows we were sitting on. That trip was the greatest trip of my life, I treasure it Oh, and bone marrow really isn't that bad, I just would never eaten it by choice. Oh, and there were whole small crabs too, my ex ate mine, and I mean WHOLE, shells, legs, everything ~~ shudders ~~ I can recognize a minature crab LOL[QUOTE=Linncn]
Tinker...do you mean you quit smoking them, or you quit eating them??
Either way, congrats
Hey Lin, you never said anything about eating!
Tinker, I don't get it (sorry, I haven't been up very long and my brain takes a while to work at it's full cpacity) did you quit smoking?
Moana, I've had livermush and it tastes almost exactly like scrapple. Best breakfast in the world, real country fried ham, scrapple, fried potatoes, and eggs. Yum. I grew up 1/2 time in the country on my aunt and uncle's farm in Virginia and 1/2 time at my parents in town. Loved the part of my life that I spent on the farm. Tolerated the town part of my life.
Oh gosh yes Lindy thats it!! It's so good with eggs. I keep livermush in the fridge, its a staple around here
I loved living on a farm too, best of both worlds
We always had a horse or two and dad and I were the only ones to ride. I raised a mare on a bottle when it's mother died in childbirth. One of the few times I ever saw my dad cry. She followed me around like a dog. We went squirrel hunting and I can still shoot a .22 on the bullseye. We had rabbit*gums*(traps) all over the woods but mostly all we caught were opposums
AWW Thanks Linda
The only thing my dad wouldn't let me be a part of was when him and his buddies fox hunted on horseback. I think it was because it was more of a drinking fest than anything
Coon hunters used to bring their really expensive blue tick hounds to my dad when they got cut open, usually on barbed wire, and he would sew them up and they'd be good as new. He had an uncanny way with animals. We had so many cats down at the barn I named them all Cindy(don't ask me why)lol. He raised a pet crow named spooky that was our collie's best friend, used to ride on his back and sleep with him.
Moana, it sounds like a wonderful childhood!! I would have loved to grow up in the country around all the animals. Your Mom's garden sounds especially appealing to me.
Thanks Nini, gardening is the best thing I've had to give up in the past couple of years.I just can't bend and hoe and run my little tiller anymore
Mona, here's the difference between you and me...I've had a mostly average life with a couple of cool things tossed in. You've had a cool life with maybe a couple of average things tossed.
Yes, Katie, I was surprised to see the bucket-o-intestines in freezer aisle.
LOL midnight you almost made me spit sundrop on my puter."smelled like chit"
OK This is really gross ....when I was 10 or 11 we went to visit my aunt and uncle who live by San Francisco and owned a triple drive in theater. We thought we were cool. Uncle Mel would drive the car out and we got to watch the movie and eat anything at the concession stand. All five of us girls, and my cousin Tom (who was a jerk)Well, my cousin Tom peed in a mountain dew bottle and me thinking for once he was being nice when he gave it to me (not knowing of course) took a drink and spewed it out everywhere. Everyone of my sisters and my stupid cousin Tom had a good laugh. To this day, I am almost 41 now they still say....>"CinDee drank pee, ha ha"
30 years later and I am still trying to think of agood payback.
Oh my god all I could think of was dumb and dumber. Hahahaha
EWWW CinDee bless you heart! Did you let him live??
Well I guess he got his comeuppance
How embarassing for cousin Tom! Served him right for letting you drink pee.
I never did figure out why the french like that raw hamburger. I like my meat medium/rare but it really needs to have stopped bleeding before I like to eat it.I like mine alive
