Humans are like goats. We'll eat any damned thing. Just ask the people who make PowerBars. In fact, you'll find foods in this world that don't even seem possible. Not just that they could exist, but that people would actually stick this stuff in their mouths without a gun to their head. We've found six dishes that seemed to have sprung from Satan's own cookbook. #6.
Escamoles
From:
What the hell is it?
The eggs have the consistency of cottage cheese. The most popular way to eat them is in a taco with guacamole, while being fucking insane.
Wait, it gets worse ...

Casu Marzu
From:
What the hell is it?
Its translucent larvae are able to jump about 6 inches into the air, making this the only cheese that requires eye protection while eating. The taste is strong enough to burn the tongue, and the larvae themselves pass through the stomach undigested, sometimes surviving long enough to breed in the intestine, where they attempt to bore through the walls, causing vomiting and bloody diarrhea.
Wait, it gets worse ...

Lutefisk
From:
What the hell is it?
A little too clean. Lutefisk is a traditional Norwegian dish featuring cod that has been steeped for many days in a solution of lye, until its flesh is caustic enough to dissolve silver cutlery.
Wait, it gets worse ...
Danger of this turning up in America:
It' true, lutefisk is more popular in the United States than in Norway. What the hell are they doing with it? They're not eating it are they? Is it because it' a cheap alternative to colonic irrigation? Seriously, how do you advertise this stuff?
#3.
Baby Mice Wine
From:
What the hell is it?
Baby mice wine is a traditional Chinese and Korean "health tonic," which apparently tastes like raw gasoline. Little mice, eyes still closed, are plucked from the embrace of their loving mothers and stuffed (while still alive) into a bottle of rice wine. They are left to ferment while their parents wring their tiny mouse paws in despair, tears drooping sadly from the tips of their whiskers.
Wait, it gets worse ...

Wait, it gets worse ...
We wonder why the Iraqis keep blowing themselves up? Wouldn't you, if every evening meal was a festival of death?

Balut
From:
What the hell is it?
Wait, it gets worse ...
Yes, balut is upsetting on about a half-dozen levels. Sure, all meat eaters know on some level that the delicious chop on your plate used to belong to something cute and fluffy, which gambolled in the sun during the brief spring of its life. Most of the time, it' perfectly possible not to give a shit. But, when you're biting into something that hasn't even had a chance to see its mother' face ... well, it' different.

Balut isn't a breakfast thing. I've been to the Philippines and seen those street vendors. It's typically a snack enjoyed with a beer and is supposed to improve your sex drive. My brother ate one and said it wasn't bad if you can forget about what your actually eating. On another note. There is also the Century egg. Take a Balut, bury ti in warm sand for about 100 years, then eat it. If you think Balut looks disgusting, imagine what it looks like after being buried for 100 years.
Per mangiare CASU MARZU serve la mascherina per gli occhi? ma da dove venite da marte! Io metterei anche scarpe antinfortunistiche, magari qualche larva riesce a buccare la suola delle scarpe... Non dimentichiamo il casco! questi vermi hanno l'abbitudine di infilarsi nell'orecchio e mangiarvi il cervello in 20 minuti! Giubotto antiproietili dove lo lasciamo? non si sa mai i vermi si infilino sotto la pelle... Americani! Andate e fatevi spingere!
Beh, essendo abituati a mangiare hamburger e merda giustifico gli americani! sono i più grassi del mondo.. chissà perchè! e pure la vostra cucina è cosi genuina,sana... ne volevate minca!
... adesso non mangiamo più salame perchè è avvolto nel budello, niente più sanguinaccio, niente latte perchè esce dalle minne della vacca, frattaglie varie neanche a parlarne... Ci rimane il miglio per i canarini.
Shit dude you guys should see KUKUREC... its a specialty made of colon (the intestine) from a sheep i think or a goat (full of the yummy CRAP) and then boiled and garnished with oregano... imagine that!
And what you was eating, Kentucky fried chicken or a McDonald cheese(!!!)burger? Or maybe an industrial made Elvira Coot's pie?
I read this as I was eating. EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! I think I am going to be sick, I mean what kind of faggot eats this shit?
Now are these gross or just different? Sure they're "weird" but in what sense? They are weird TO US. This article just cuddles around the idea that everyone is biased and comes with their own perspectives which they force onto everything they come across. Culture can be a prison. It cages us into thinking one way is the right way and others are wrong. When they're not wrong, they're just that, OTHER WAYS.

These guys owed it to the world to become badasses.
Behold: Cracked 2.0! A site so jam-packed with new features, you'd think we did something other than churn out Digg-baiting top 10 lists. This is what happens when a bunch of dudes wind up with literally hundreds of dollars in investor money to spend. We yanked the wheels off the car and replaced them with hundreds of cardboard rocket engines, then parked that sucker on the edge of a cliff.
Is this too much information? Well, considering we didn't need any ...

This will make you not want to eat. Ever.
Ever since The Sixth Sense, Hollywood producers have been trying to capitalize on its success by distributing horribly illogical twist endings, hoping desperately to recapture what made the film such a surprise hit. And fail as they might, that certainly hasn't stopped them from continuing to try. Adam Quigley investigates.
Let us take a moment to appreciate these guys who helped make the original Star Wars great, and who have lived sad, sad lives since.

I am actually surprised to find that there is a cheese in the world i wouldn't be prepared to eat sober. As for the rest the fish would be a push as it sounds just plain dangerous but the rest just sounded tempting must go get my dinner now.
