It is forbidden to sell this cheese due to health risks, but you can still find it in some places in Italy. The thing is that the maggots will actually digest the cheese and excrete it, making a creamy texture and a unique taste. Same process as Kopi Luwak. Some health specialists say the maggots might survive in the digestive system and try to eat their way out, leading to internal wounds and all the funny consequences (vomitting, s******g blood). Some say that the maggots cannot survive in the digestive system due to high acid levels. Anyways European Union decided to consider it as a contaminated product and made it illegal to sell.

There is a reason why the EU has banned this traditional delicacy. The hygienical problems could be avoided by using sanitized maggots (although they could still cause a parasitic infection called pseudomyiasis), but those critters can JUMP up to 15 centimeters high. It is even recommended to eat this cheese with goggles to avoid eye damage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu).

I feel your pain, sister. Sweden wasn’t on here either, and I mean - we have surströmming here and everything. And we eat raw, pickled herring at almost every big holiday. We should be on here.

The worst: anything made with gutter oil in China (i.e. gather sewage liquid + cook food in it) 2nd worst: bird's nest soup (warm jellylike thin-hairlike bird vomit)

Poverty foods. When times are tough people will eat almost anything. But then if you grind it up, puree it and add a few spices you get a hotdog - yum!

Not true, some of these dishes are considered delicacies and are pretty expensive.

Gvelta fish. Jewish food. I've never had one I liked. I remember it being gritty? Boney? Honestly it's been a long time, but there was a texture thing I remember not liking

Most of these are basic survival foods.

In Australia, any food the Aboriginal people ate before Europeans arrived, such as witchery grubs and Pandanas palm. Pandanas palm makes your lips and tongue swell up.

Nu uh. The thought breaks my heart. Unsure if it's urban legend or not...heard dog pounds would be leery of adopting out large dogs to some Asian people for this reason.

I'm surprised black pudding didn't make the list, even though I love it I know that many don't especially when they find out the ingredients

So no one is going to talk about Poutine Rapée from eastern Canada? I eventually learned to like it over the years but its interesting....

If you've only had the black California raisins, I can see your disgust. Try Golden Raisins or the varieties from Turkey or Afghanistan. They're really wonderful.

No way, salted peanuts and raisins mix is literally one of my favourite things. Nothing like it watching a movie and snacking with IPA to drink.

Hard agree! I loathe them! Tiny chewy awfulness. I would and have preferred to eat crickets over raisins.

I'm surprised there's no Chinese foods on the list, something like animal offals，snails，and chicken feet, which maybe unacceptable to western people ，are all very common foods in China.

You forgot to mention insects. I saw people in the southern parts eating grilled silkworms and roaches 🤮

Where is MÄMMI (trad. Finnish)? Ok, it's not actually bad, it just (literally) looks like poop.

Fermented fish or shrimp paste, eaten in Cambodia, called prahok. In Thailand its called ka-pi pla. Pungent and tastes nasty. In Japan, fermented soybeans, called Natto. Horrible.
