We all love to eat to a certain extent, but there are still some food that we totally can't even bring ourselves to chew, let alone eating it; Sometimes the smell alone is repulsive enough to make us .. %@$#%$ ... well... you know what I mean.

So let's list the food you hate the most.

My list :

1 - Rica-rica pake semut.
(Indonesian sauteed ants with heavy spices Menado style)

I like the taste, but I just can't bring myself to like it. It's like eating hundreds of ants. I guess I keep imagining all these ants will come alive inside my stomach and start crawling inside me... the taste is good.. but the feeling afterward is quite scary sometimes.

2 - Sosis darah dari Irlandia
Irish Blood Sausage

I tried it once. I tried it twice. I tried it many times and it's just not my cup of tea. It taste rather bland for my taste, and it's got that gluey commotion when you chew it in your mouth, not to mention the smell of blood is quite strong sometimes.

3 - Arak Ular Cina
Chinese Snake Wine

Well.. this is one of Chinese most delicate wines. The wine is normally produced with the best, freshest fruits out there, but they put a snake or a number of snakes inside the wine, off course they take out the poison already (Yeah, they better do), and the flavor and flaragrance from the dead snake are supposed to give the wine a one of a kind aroma, that can't be found anywhere else. The wine is presented in a big glass jar, where you can see the dead snake preserved on the bottom of the jar.... pretty wild stuff. I don't like looking at the poor snakes, but the wine is actually really excellent. But I hate looking at the poor snakes looking at me when drinking it. Turn me off.

4 - Baalut
Phillipino Baalut

The Philipinnos take fertilized duck or chicken eggs, bury them in the ground for months and then eat it with alcoholic beverages. The catch is the duck eggs contain a half-formed duckling, soft-boiled and eaten out of shell with a spoon. It tastes okay, not for me, but the most unbelievalbe sight is when you open the egg, you see the half-forming duck or chicken, sometimes the feet are already forming or the head is already there, and the remaining parts are like a gooey blob. It smell pretty bad and taste like eating dead rotten corpse, but you have to combine it with alcohol to kill the smell. The Philippinos think it's healthy and love it.

... I will add more later.
