I had a Filipino style goat soup with a lot of innards and I think some bile. It was served at a large graduation party for one of my friend's kids many years ago. While I love to try new foods, this one was very tough for me. I don't want to go into great detail about how the soup tasted, many of you would lose your appetite. There's a picture in the link below that resembles the goat soup I had.
My BIL is Filipino. Most of the food they make is quite tasty, panchit, adobo, and those little egg rolls, along with their empanadas, I stay away from the soups because they won"t say what is in them!
Meatloaf. Anything that wasn't prepared by my mom or one of my siblings. She made 100% certain that we all knew how to cook well before we left home (just as her own mom did for her), and it has paid off. As a man I've been able to prepare some great meals for dates. Sadly, sometimes for women who could burn ramen in the microwave. :angryeyes: (Yes, I've met some terrible foods that way too)
But back to meatloaf...other than my mom's recipe it is either too dry, too greasy or spiced in some insane way by a bad cook to make it more "palatable." I'll eat it to be polite, but Lord knows I don't enjoy it.

I agree! I enjoy almost all Filipino food including some soups, but the goat soup I had just overwhelmed me.

I had Pig's blood and rice at a Filipino buffet. It was better than what I had at my bro's house, so long ago. I'd call it "tasty", actually The veins were chewy and the sauce was divine. Dinuguan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

That's one of my favorite Filipino dishes. It's great with hot white rice. BTW, some Filipinos call it "chocolate meat".
I ordered some kind of seafood pasta dish at a restaurant in a small town. I was thinking crab meat, shrimp, maybe some lobster meat. When they brought it, it was squid I guess - there were tentacles with suction cups visible. I think being a small town restaurant that wasn't that busy, that they had to improvise and opened a can of "seafood" and poured it on some linguine. I was with a whole bunch of other people and I didn't want to make a big fuss or send the crap back, so I just pushed it around on my plate, ate some of the pasta (didn't want that either because it had the tentacle juice on it) and said I wasn't very hungry. The iced tea was VERY good, so I drank a lot of that. Blech. The thought of it makes me sick.
I am very leery of potluck type of things. I try to eat only the things brought by myself or someone I know who I know is clean. I once was munching away on vegetables from a vegetable platter at a potluck picnic when my husband nudged me and told me to stop eating and pointed to the vegetables, which had little tiny bugs running around on them. I hadn't even looked close enough to see them. Yuck.

Oh yeah, but the pig roasts were for special occasions.
The worst thing I ever ate to be polite was served to me by a lovely old Chinese lady who spoke not one word of English. She was married to the Chinese gentleman I was tutoring in English, and although she had no interest in learning the language herself, she always came out of the kitchen and made much of me, welcoming me to their small home when I came by to give him another lesson.
My student's wife was worried about my fair complexion, so one day she made me her special "Women's Conditioning Soup" because she thought I was too pale.
It was a beautiful porcelain bowl of delicate, ginger-scented broth with an artistic scattering of green onion shreds over the top. And floating in that lovely broth in the porcelain bowl was an entire whole pig's brain.
I ate every bite.
And you'd better believe that from that day on, even though I don't ever wear makeup, I made sure to apply lots of blush before going to give another English lesson. One bowl of that soup was enough for several lifetimes!
