If this were me, it would win my personal award for nastiest thing I've put in my mouth (inadvertantly or on purpose). Woman almost eats severed finger found in rice ball:

Rice surprise anything but nice
June 3, 2002 Posted: 2:04 AM EDT (0604 GMT)

TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- A woman in northern Japan bit into a rice ball she bought at a convenience store and got a gruesome surprise: a fingertip.

The woman spat out a mouthful of her Korean bibimbap-flavored snack after she tasted something unusual and discovered a one centimeter (half-inch) slice of human finger, said Takashi Fujii, a spokesman for the convenience store Lawsons said.

Police later determined the severed digit belonged to an employee of food company Nihon Fresh Delica who accidentally cut his finger while making rice balls.

The woman found the chunk of flesh Friday in the northern city of Sendai. She showed it to a doctor, who identified it as a fingertip.

Bibimbap is a spicy Korean mix of rice, vegetables and red pepper paste.

Fujii apologized. "We'll make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again," he said.

damn, I thought it was bad when I accidentally ate a few bites of a moldy piece of bread in high school

I was drawing a blank until you mentioned the words "high school". I shan't divuldge the details, but I once ate corn smut that was riddled with hot peppers. I've repressed the memory so long that I luckily can't remember how awful it was. Who says being willfully forgetful is a bad thing, eh?

Seconded. That bastard who tried to convince me that "it's just like mushrooms" obviously had been eating some sort of faux-tripe constructed of mushrooms. The real stuff was vile.

Failing that, that pressed chicken stuff that comes in a triangular (though with rounded corners) tin that opens with a key. With the bit of jelly on top. Ewwww. Thanks, mum.

nasty. I think this is a regional thing, not sure, but scrapple is pretty nasty. doesnt taste too awful, but its like sausage, but made pretty much with everything thats unfit to put in scrap meats (such as hot dogs). scrap rejects. ew yo

How about fricandels (probably spelt wrong) or any meat in Holland describe as diversen. Basically, its all lips and arseholes from cows, pigs, chicken and even horse. Tastes OK if your hungry but you don't want to think about what you're eating.

I know a guy who worked at an office who was once forced by his employees to eat a casserole made out of six liquified Big Macs. That's pretty gross.

not sure if this counts, because i didn't get to the eating stage, but i found a crane fly - the most horrid, nightmarish insecty thing in this country - in a tin of baked beans that i was heating up. i prodded it with a spoon and one of its legs came off. i don't like to think about it too much.

oh, and the soup you can get in poland - made out of pigs' intestines. with whatever was in the intestines still there.

Anybody ever eaten haggis? I know how its made and it sure sounds disgusting but what does it taste like?

I like sushi in general, but uni sushi has got to be the absolute worst food I've ever had.



It tastes like it looks.

Pork scratchings. Why spoil perfectly good beer by accompanying with this FILTH?

About a year ago, I ate some wasabi-flavored peas. I didn't eat more than two before I spit 'em out and threw the peas away.

SPAM - its real spiced ham... apparently. I think its dogfood, no wait I would wish it on dogs, its shit for flies! Watch them gather as soon as you open the tin!

A chip (the UK kind), when I was a kid I was eating chips that had been fried, I bit into one only to find it didn't contain anything but warm oil - that wasn't very nice.

Oh yeah and I almost ate a large live spider.

i like wasabi peas. and even if i didn't, i wouldn't compare them to eatin a fucking human finger.

i did used to make a drink called blood of kali, and then forced all my friends to drink it too (cultish overtones, oh yes). it was folgers insant coffee crystals -- a big giant black clump of them -- stirred into jack daniels. try it. i promise you'll be begging for tripe when you're halfway through.

well, mystery gypt - in that case you might enjoy baileys (creame liquer) mixed with cheap but strong lager..... bleuuugh!!

I'm happy someone's found my finger, hope it was good.

However, my grand-father used to eat living slug (stupid bet).

I like Haggis. Love Wasabi sauce (don't know about the peas), Sushi and pork scratchings. Suspect tripe is rank - my old dog 'Freckles' used to sweat it a few hours after consumption (sounds gross, eh? But not as gross as her 'Ueergh! She's sweating pilchard juice' phase).

Why has no-one mentioned liver? Does this mean you guys like liver?

Used to have nannies when I were a boy (Mum always at work), and one of them attempted a pea soup that came out of the saucepan w/ the consistencey of a thick, thick mousse. She garnished it w/ a sprig of parsley and Adam and I threw up a little after every mouthful.

But not as much as we did eating tinned mashed potato.

when i was a meat eater, i used to love *everything* - spam, liver... all the stuff everyone else hated. liver was especially good - i got into it in a big way one day at school when i pretended i was a dog and it was dog food. there was no stopping me after that.

Liver good - chicken liver even better. Kidneys yum.

Jellied eels fucking horrible. My missus has a picture of me gobbing them out on Brighton pier.
Unfortunately she missed the first time I put them in my mouth and spat them out - so I had to put more vile shite into my mouth so she could get a snap. F**k me, she can be cruel sometimes.

liver the smell, the memories - I had a neighbour once who seemed to only cook liver and onions - all the time. Not very nice.

Liver pate good. All other liver: evil from hell.

Wish I understood it.

A friend of mine once bit into a Baby Ruth candybar and found a grub inside it. Also, when my sister was a toddler, she ate a big, fat junebug. In retrospect, it was kind of funny how my mom flew off the hook and called poison control to find out if she'd need to have her stomach pumped.

And speaking of tripe, awhile back I was in a small Wisconsin town with alot of Swiss-Americans in it (New Glarus). I went past the butcher shop and in big, red letters read "Tripe--Only $1.39/lb!" When will those foolish Swiss ever learn....

But what if it's filthbeer? Would the scratchings then pick up their game?

Fucking soya cheese. That shit is unbelievably revolting. It is made from hydrogenated vegetable fat and potato starch, mostly. And I recently discovered that they did not cut their losses and stop at 'Cheddar-style'. They also do 'Feta-style' and 'Nacho cheese-style'. Oh. My. God.

...polish jello. Imagine swapping the gelatin with pig fat and the fruit chunks with meat chunks. Got halfway in my mouth while I was being informed. That's as far as it made it...

I seem to have eaten and enjoyed most of these. Specially Uni. Mmm. It's like the ocean.

The worst things I've eaten have generally been spoiled food - I remember one particularly wormy Butterfingers bar I ate after Halloween one year. Never had something that tasted quite like that before, couldn't entirely understand it.

They make good soy cheese nowadays, but I do remember some fake grated parmesan (the kind in the green cardboard tube) that was positively bletcherous. This was in the 80s. Awful, awful substance.

Ive eaten cheez whiz from the can. but I was in my single digits age then, so I think I can be excused

...although even considering it is making me queasy....

Dried squid on a stick. No joke. Ate it in Malaysia once (and once only!).

You take a squid, marinate it in some strange dark liquid (possibly based on soy sauce), run it through a mangle, shove a stick into it and stretch it out on a rack until it's dry. Then you sell it to unsuspecting patrons. Enjoy the gamut of emotions displayed on the face of the "ang mo" you've just sold it to.

Man, I forgot all about rotten food. When I'd visit my great grandma she'd give us Corn Pops (or whatever) that were way beyond stale. And you'd look at the box and the toy advertized on the box would be from a movie that came out a year ago.

*shudders*
