What is the weirdest, disgusting, etc food you ever ate?

[honeychile]

I've been avoiding this thread because I thought there would be REALLY disgusting "foods" listed. There was always the "you may grow up to be an ambassador or a missionary, so at least try to like it" speech at our house when we served something different.

But based on what all you like or don't like:

LOVE: Peaches (obscenely so!), beets, PB&J on white bread, lima beans

HATE: Spam (truly a test of the above theory!), any potted meat, chitlins, flan, squid, caviar, liver, sushi (better known as pretty bait)

I don't think I could eat Snow Bambi (reindeer) if I knew what it was.

This will either gross you out or make you epicurious: Swiss Peaches and Noodles. Warning - it's terribly fattening, but good! It's a plate with noodles on the bottom, then bread cubes fried in butter (no spices), then canned peaches with the syrup. My g-g-grandfather on the one side was Swiss.

My guy's mother recently made a potted ham (he had told her that I like ham) and I about died. I was never so happy to use paper napkins, so that I could drop some in my lap and hide it in my purse. Ugh, that stuff is nasty! This isn't the canned ham, the one that's ham cut into the shape of a can, it was with the mystery pieces (affectionately known as snout) & gelatin holding together the hunks of real but over spiced ham. I simply can't wait to cook for his family!
