My mother used to eat tripe. oh the thought gives me the boak. another one here from a butchers is Potted Head in jelly, I dont even want to think about it..... shellfish is another ugly food I wouldnt touch... worse thing Ive tasted was in Gran Canaria , when I ordered Macaroni cheese in a cafe..... it came in a massive over dish, orange with a smell of turps.... hell knows what it was, but it wasnt your regular macaroni cheese.

I read that webpage - all 16 photos and paragraphs worth. It sounded like a lot of hyperbole to me. Then I got to the "sex hormones in milk" section and knew without a doubt it was all hyperbole.

Newsflash: There are "cow sex hormones" in ALL cow's milk. rBST is the *synthetic* version of BST, which the cow already produces naturally. That means, even if the cow isn't injected (and you have no way of knowing unless you own the cow), your milk has BST in it. There's no way to seperate it out, and in fact, the whole point of a cow producing milk at all, is to nourish its calf and help it grow. Which is the function of BST. It's not a "sex" hormone. It's a growth hormone.

If they can be that blatantly, patently emotionally charged and incorrect about that one thing, then they're not going to be too picky about the rest of the "article." It's just scare mongering, from start to finish.

My grossest eats: whole-belly clams, and ground chicken liver. Never in the same meal of course

Potted ... head in jelly? My face is doing involuntary things. Somebody hold me.

I made mung bean and brown rice pilaf. It was really gross.

"The Food and Drug Administration legally allows 19 maggots and 74 mites in a 3.5-ounce can of mushrooms." That's way too many maggots and mites for me. Wonder how they count them.

Beaver Anal Gland Juice - Now I'm going to have to go check my vanilla yogurt for natural flavorings.

Huh. I thought this thread was going to be about stuff like the raw eel I tried the other day.

And kinda liked.

Tripe, mung bean & rice, clams & liver? Nothing gross or weird about those.

Now "potted head in jelly" on the other hand...

Sliced sauced pig ear, anyone?

My thought exactly. Some of my relatives smoked from 18 to 80, and were fine.

That said, the "grossest" thing I eat/do is dip my french fries in the bleu cheese dressing found at the Big Boy chain, that is, when one can find one of these dinosaurs.
