Day 2, and behind the window we have...

Shiokara, from Japan 😱



A dish made of pieces of meat taken from a selection of sea creatures, served in a brown, viscous paste of their own salted and fermented viscera, all served raw 😱 Yum!

Is the veggie option stinky tofu?

(Although reading how it's made it would have to be a veggie brine)

Looks very festive.

I like the bowl... but the contents - ugh😱

Is this an idea for helping us all to loose weight? So far both things sound disgusting. I am not a fish lover at the best of times! 🙂

Day 3 😱 It's occurred to me that I can use the forum's 'spoiler' feature so you can open the window yourselves 🙂 I'll give you the name and description, click on Yuck! to display (some of these are pretty disgusting!)

Pickled egg - UK

Read more: Yuck!

Mmmm... a hardboiled egg that been left to go cold and stuck in a jar of vinegar. 😱 🙂

 

[Ljc]

Now I like pickled eggs 🙂

Now I like pickled eggs 🙂

When I was a student in Sheffield we used to go to a pub that had a jar of pickled eggs behind the bar. We never saw anyone eating one, yet the jar would gradually empty over the week (we were students, we were in every night! 😉) So, we decided we would all try one, one night. Absolutely one of the most disgusting things I have ever eaten! 😱 Partly, I suspect, because I don't like hard boiled eggs because of the texture and the way the yolk sticks to your teeth, ewww! Then made worse by the fact it was pickled! 😱 🙂

I'd like to like them, but alas...they're rank (IMHO)!😱🙂

Day 4 - Another egg, this time the 100/1000 year old egg from China 😱 Mmm...😱 (click 'Yuck' to open the door!)

Read more: Yuck!

OK, it’s neither a century nor a millennium old, but this egg is pretty rotten. After being preserved in a mixture of clay, ash and quicklime for a few months, the yolk turns a dark green or even black and slimy while the white has turns to a dark brown translucent jelly. Apparently it smells of strongly of sulphur and ammonia, but tastes like a hardboiled egg…

 

[Ljc]

I'll rush on by with da peg on me dose with dis one

 

[Lindarose]

Glad I've got a cheese roll for work today. Egg doesn't appeal!

 

[Amigo]

I'm also sorted out for a dessert to follow this with Heston's bacon and banana trifle;

Now I like pickled eggs 🙂

Can you imagine how much I hate sweet stuff ! T1 from the age of 3 a long time ago. 😉

Day 5 - That French staple of everyday life, snails 😱 🙂

Read more: Yuck!

Snails cooked in a sauce of white wine, garlic, butter and parsley served in their shells. Said to have a similar consistency to mussels or clams. I had some in Paris once and tasted chiefly the garlic and butter and didn't have the yuck factor that slugs would certainly have - must have been something about the shells! 😱

 

[Greyhound Gal]

I had snails a few years ago at a French restaurant as I was curious what they were like. They were in a similar sauce to above. They were actually quite nice (once you forgot what you were eating).🙂
