Some people consider these delicacies, others puke at the mere idea of them :} Which is it for you? Which are the most disgusting to you, those you would absolutely never ever be able to eat? You can pick up to 9 out of the 10 things listed, so that leaves at least one that you would have to force down And, which have you actually eaten, by the way? For me, I ate some of them without knowing what they really were when I was a kid (after I found out, I would never touch them again though). So... I used to love tripes when I was little (YUK!!!), and I was also made to eat marrow without knowing what it was, but that's actually okay (and, quite frankly, it's delicious). I think that's all my parents managed to sneak in ;P

Hmm... I left liver. I've eaten it a few times before. It's not pleasant, but still edible. xD

I would not be able to eat Snail or Frog Legs. Snail because eck it's a snail, and frog legs because I had to dissect frogs in middle school and it was just... I cannot even describe it, haha. I just remember someone sticking pins into the legs and making them dance x.x

I really can't say never on any of them, because I'm usually game to try anything once. However, blood sausage looks the least appealing to me because as a general rule, I don't like any sausage.
I've not actually eaten anything on the list. However, I watch enough travel shows and cooking shows that I've seen others eat them and they don't look that bad.

I left liver, because I've eaten it before and eh, it's okay. I'd probably eat marrow if I had to, & perhaps oyster and/or caviar.

I've eaten oysters before, it's the "rocky mountain oysters" you need to watch out for. Ew. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_oystersI've eaten tongue too, but I didn't know about it. The tongue was in a lunchmeat I used to love when I was younger until I read the ingredients. I see them selling whole cow tongues at the store and it's just wrong lol. I'd never eat blood sausage, caviar, marrow, frog legs or brain.

Caviar is surprisingly nice! I had it on toast when I went on holiday, it just tastes salty Brain? Why would anyone want to eat brain? Gross.

Actually, once it's cooked and chopped up, you probably wouldn't know you were eating brain until someone told you. Everytime I've seen it, it just looks like normal meat. and I would be game to even try the rocky mountain oysters. And yes, I've always known what they were.

Brain, tongue, escargot, and blood sausage (D:?!). Eating tongue seems the most wrong to me, out of those. I've never heard of blood sausage before, but if it's what it sounds like, the idea of it makes me gag. I get alot of funny, grossed out looks for it, but: I love fried (breaded) liver. It's just ... meat. It doesn't seem as much like an organ when it's fried. It probably does non-breaded, though. :P Either way, I still like it. And it's one of my very favorite foods when it's fried. EDIT: D:! Happy little oyster: Oyster =/= testicle It's so horribly misleading! X3

Eh, caviar would probably be the only one I would choke down if needed. I'm pretty sure I liked it as a small child. But... i'm rather squeamish about my food. I like plain, simple foods. >_<

Zekumi"Black pudding or blood pudding is a type of sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. It is also called blood sausage (first attested in 1868, perhaps influenced by German Blutwurst)." ...It's what it sounds like, euuugh x__o I think I'd be able to eat frog legs, and maybe marrow...

^ Who would even think of something like that? x3 WHY?
I must've missed the marrow before. We mean bone marrow, right? I'd totally eat it. :P
I sometimes even try to bite open chicken bones (when I'm finished eating wings or thighs or something) to get at the marrow. Just out of sheer curiousness.
And I have no problem with frog legs. They've got them at one of my favorite Chinese buffets in the area. They don't look very tasty, though.

I must've missed the marrow before. We mean bone marrow, right? I'd totally eat it. :P Yes, bone marrow. It tastes really good. I suppose, for someone who eat meats, bone marrow isn't really disgusting. I remember when I was little, my mom would sometimes make something called Osso Bucco. It's a piece of meat with a rather large cut bone full of marrow -- we can get at it with a knife. It's delicious, but I had no idea what it was at the time :-X I thought of it as something totally disgusting up until I saw them cook frog legs on Hell's Kitchen a week or two ago. Didn't look quite as bad as I'd imagined... but not sure I'd want to eat some. I'd definitely eat frog legs instead of tongue though!

I badly want to try bone marrow someday..I keep seeing others eating it on tv and I have to say, if that many people like it, there must be something good about it. I had to educate one of my friends today about bone marrow, she thinks it's some exotic thing that almost no one knows about and barely anyone in the US eats. And yet, funny, it's featured in several places in the US. But this girl..for her..adventerous is chinese food. Need I say more? I just can't see myself ever saying "I will never try that." Maybe when I was younger, sure. But ever since I tried sushi for the first time, that's sorta opened the gateway to trying all sorts of things, most of which I've loved. On the flip side, I also don't like a lot of things most people do..such as pies (other than chocolate), breads with funky things in them (and by funky, I mean fruit). Of course, the only way I'll usually eat fruit is either raw or with chocolate on it..other ways just make me gag. and I have yet to meet a sausage I like, aside from hot dogs. But, I think I'd be game to try it. I just would be surprised if I truly enjoyed it.
