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.

My wife likes balut, the developed egg fetus. And all the older men in her family, too.
I'd rather die than eat any of that nonsense.

My family eats lutefisk each year and its kinda like...fish with a jello consistency. It also has NO flavor at all so you need to drench it in butter. My advice is just to avoid it.

if any of this were presented to me id eat it.. all except the Balut, and probably the mice wine. if someone gave me 10$ id eat Balut with mice wine, but itd be terribly gross. At some point, from watching the travel channel and food networks with weird foods, i started thinking, that stuff looks pretty good.

Yikes, man. Incest is not cool.
But I guess it's working for you...
Balut tastes good with some sea salt, spicy vinegar, and about a gallon of beer.
Baluts pretty common with any asian. All the shades of yellow have eaten it and its sold in our cities chinatown here up north.

This reminds me of all those reality shows like Fear Factor where they make people eat live bugs and rotting meat and they just stuff their faces with it to try to win, and I always end up dry heaving and gagging and knowing that I would not do well on those shows.
I need to find a way to prep my browser to not open these kinda links anymore.
"Next time just don't click on 'gross' links, idiot!" doesn't seem to work.
btw, I've been to Sardinia a few times and I've seen this cheese. I can tell you, these pictures fail to deliver the real nausea...

yeah, the duck fetus egg is a pretty common thing here in vietnam. it's actually tasty.
Balut is actually really good, if you're willing to get over your own bullshit. You like eggs, you like bird flesh, so what's the problem?
And the sheep head, well, I don't know if I would serve it whole, but in my experience the meat from the head and face of any animal is divine.

They are asian. But they're not the only asians. A huge majority of asians have never tasted balut or know that they exist. So they are not common with ANY asian.
All shades of yellow? really?

Yeah I tried to eat a three hour old taco from a Chevron here and almost horked. I honestly feared for my life with growing concern with every bite. If someone tried to make me eat rotten pig's chuckle my head would probably 'splode, along with various other parts of me.

Even really really drunk in PI I could be coerced to eat Balut.

I know everyone hates comments like this, but...
Reaaaaally old article. However, it is like my second favourite on Cracked, so awesome!
Yucky.
My mom fed me balut as a kid. I absolutely loved it when I didn't know what it was. You had to put a little hole in the egg and suck down the juice before eating the insides. I didn't know what it was inside, I just ate it thinking it was just a hard boiled egg. Then one day when I was 8, a baby duck head flopped out of a broken egg, and that was it for me. Yuck.
The funny thing is, I have eaten 4 out of the 6 things on this list.

Although Lutefisk is clearly norwegian (i never touch it tho, it smells disgusting and what's the fucking idea anyway?), the boiled sheepshead is also a traditional dish that i honestly thought was norwegian too... I hear it's pretty good if you can get past that sheepish smile your food keeps giving you (No pun intended) (slightly..)
