/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I've been to Cameroon once.
They eat rats kept in vacuum package with "pepper sauce".
You truely and fully cannot understand what "gross" means until you've tried something like that.

>>9112936

Ooo can you describe it?

I kinda want to try one of those 1000 year eggs but I'm still thinking about it, anyone with any previous experience on them?

>>9112950
At first you only have the taste of really fucking hot chili pepper, but if you have the bad idea of chewing on the meat too much, it starts to taste like dirty water (if the rat is undercooked, and no I can't believe I'm typing that either) or like straight up gas fire (if the rat is overcooked). You will get either taste as a small aftertaste once you swallow, and after that your mouth will burn from the chili for the rest of the day.
It's basically how most if not all meat you can get in the cities taste, since it's hard to get any sort of fresh meat (supply lines and transit is dogshit because the roads were few and not maintained at all) they let everything stew in hot chili sauce.
The stuff you could get in the rural areas was much better, but also came in much smaller quantities.
Except peanuts.
Holy shit, peanuts were everywhere and they were actually really fucking good. Fat as fuck, but really fucking good.

>>9112928
probably onions and mushrooms. carrots are pretty gross too.

>>9112928
So that's where that stupid sopa de macaco meme comes from.

>>9112974
You're like 5'4'' and 320 lbs I bet.

>>9112972

Excellent description.

For me it was fermented duck eggs. The packaging was all in Chinese except for the phrase "100% Lead Free". It's hard to explain its consistency and odor.

>>9112983
No... more like 5'4 200

>>9112979
Uma delicia.

>>9112979
You gotta lurk other boards man, it was all over /int/ and /sp/ for weeks

>>9112998
not me

>>9112983
i am of average weight and height. anyone that thinks onions and mushrooms taste good was probably beaten as a child for not cleaning the plate so they were conditioned to like it. those two vegetables are objectively horrible.

Sour plums I guess.

>>9113008
>caring this much on an anonymous imageboard
Haha faggot

>>9112928
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sopa de macaco.

>>9113008

>mushroom
>vegetable.

Creamed corn nuggets in middle school.

>>9113008
>average weight
so you're fat? lmao

>>9113126
bmi of 23 so average maybe approaching the upper end of average. onions and mushrooms are objectively disgusting and your disgusting for defending them

>>9113134
The fact you're refusing to just give us hard numbers is pretty telling that you're a fat fuck.
5'4 and 180lb, I'm guessing?

>>9113134

>your

>>9113144
>almost all organisms on earth live off of fungus in some way
>mushrooms that are soft and delicious enough to be stewed and cooked in oil and put in sandwiches and soups and sauces are found in nature for you
>onions are good for flavoring and consistency in like half of all foods
>won't eat them because he's a spoiled picky little faggot

I think it is you who has the problem my boy

>>9113163
you were conditioned to eat bad food. you hated it growing up like every sane kid but your parents forced you to eat disgusting things like onions, carrots, and mushrooms. it goes against our nature as humans to like those things but your parents broke you. it is you--my friend--that has the problem.

>>9113176
>it is against our nature as humans to like the base for every fucking soup

>>9113008
>i don't like a thing so everyone who does like that thing is wrong

>>9112928
Andouillette, had it at a creperie in San Malo, I asked the waitress what it was cause I saw it was in one of the crepes and she brought me out a slice to try, tasted and smelled fucking foul, smelled like rotting pig shit mixed in with the smell of rotten flesh and tasted like literal shit, left such a nasty aftertaste I had to order myself a glass of calvados and skull it to get rid of it.

>>9112928
Prolly a booger by accident

> when the faggot sitting next to you sneezes in your face

>>9113008
please kill yourself

>>9113213

What do you think of guys like Anthony Bourdain who pretend to like all that gross indigenous shit that they eat?

>>9113228
They're complete wankers who should off themselves, Bourdain is the biggest knob of them all, sure pretending to like it is fine if the locals are super touchy retards but otherwise just fucking say what you are really feeling about the food.

>>9113242

100% agree. I remember the time he ate wild boar intestines raw and unwashed, covered in pig shit, just to avoid pissing off a bunch of sub-70 IQ African bushmen. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks for it. Fucking just desserts (literally)

>>9113271
Lel, what a fucking spastic, Bourdain truly is the epitome of a New York nu-male

I ate a fly once.

>>9112928

Iboga root bark/ibogaine.

You know when you've been throwing up and your stomach is empty so you're just throwing up the bitter green bile?

It tastes precisely like that except 100 times stronger.

>You know when you've been throwing up and your stomach is empty so you're just throwing up the bitter green bile?
that's never happened to me because i drink water

>>9113414
Just because you drink water doesn't mean you never get food poisoning or overindulge in alcohol and consequently end up vomiting for 5 minutes straight with no possible chance of having a drink of water between retching, so fuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuu.

>>9113427
NO U

>>9112928
>What's the grossest shit you've ever eaten
OP's cum.

>>9113008
The tone of your post just proves further that you're a kidult.

>>9113494

>>9113494
Why were you licking his moms pussy in the first place?

Yogurt soda. Idk, saw it at the supermarket and I figured I'd try and see what it was like. I tried to give it a chance, I really did.

It was like drinking fizzy curdled milk. Incredibly sour tasting and it smelled absolutely foul. At some point I started dry heaving from the smell itself. Roommate offered me $10 if I could actually take a proper swallow (of the soda, to be clear, thx). Told him to go fuck himself.

I was a little sad desu, because I pride myself on being open to new experiences and not being picky, but that one I just couldn't do.

>>9113144
11165 pounds is quite a lot

>>9113681
Are you used to having unsweetened yogurt? I like yogurt sodas, though they're a bit salty since a lot of them add salt instead of sugar.

>>9112969
That's not even fucking gross, it's like a hard boiled eggs, man what the fuck

I've had all sorts of nasty exotic shit, but good old fashioned cow liver is the grossest for me. The texture and taste make me gag

Surströmming. The smell alone (just from a single can mind you) is enough to make everyone gag within 20 feet of it. There've been people taken to court for opening a can of that vile shit indoors. The taste itself is virtually impossible to mask, it just cuts straight through anything you throw at it. It's hard to describe the flavor, but imagine rotten, salty, sour slime. It's something like that.

The worst thing is that are people that actually enjoy eating it.

>>9112928
UMA DELICIA...SOPA DE MACACO

>no punctuation

>>9113710
Yeah, I like plain yogurt quite a bit, but that stuff didn't taste anything like yogurt. I tried to look for a date on the bottle on the off chance that it tasted terrible because it expired, but I couldn't find one.

>>9113066
subtle

Chinese steamed chicken feet.
Apparently the feet I had were poorly prepared, though; so they might not be as bad as I may believe.

>>9113008
you're probably pretty fat and you're also stupid

>>9113951
Hmm. The ones I've had tasted like yogurt, though watered down. Did you get the one with mint added to it? I don't really like that kind.

My mom decided to try a recipe found in a local daily newspaper's life section and despite protesting immensely she still made it.
And that thing was a ketchup casserole that contained no meat, solely ketchup, cheese, onions and pasta.
I literally vomited.

>>9112928
Real talk, how would boiled monkey even taste like? I'm imagining it having the texture of tuna but taste really bland and slightly fishy.

Probably various organ meats. I physically can't keep liver or kidney down, if I can even swallow it in the first place. I don't even know if it's the taste, although I don't like the taste, but I just can't stomach the thought of eating something that was an animal's waste processing center. The thought alone of eating Andouillette makes me want to heave.

Heart and lung is good when served properly, though. Lung is like sausage if you season it right, and heart marinated overnight in balsamic and fried with salt and pepper is surprisingly great.

>>9114131
It'd probably be really tough, because monkeys are lean and highly mobile animals. I expect they'd taste quite gamey, but probably don't have a lot of flavor.

>>9113176
>it goes against our nature as humans to like those things
Mushrooms and onions have to be the most universally used ingredients across all human civilizations. There's nothing more natural for us to eat

>>9114145
I love organ meat but I feel you on the being weirded out by the idea thing. When I was a server we did an organ dinner and the chef gave me the leftover beef heart tar tar and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. That being said I had boiled brain and i was a little put off for an hour or so

>>9114166
I can't comment on how natural it is to eat mushroom and onion but ya in terms of the wide spread use of the two (onion way more then mushroom) I would say ya it makes sense to like them. All the most well known regional cuisines use onion; Indian, French, Italian, British, Chinese, i can't really understand how you could like food beyond deep fried frozen shit and not like onion

>>9114187
Onion isn't just in every major region, it is used in every country on earth. It is twice as widespread as wheat, which takes second place

>>9114068
What the fuck
What is the advantage of using ketchup over proper tomato sauce?
That sounds horrible

>>9112972
Awesome description. I want to experience it now.

>>9112928
Beef heart jerky. I threw up immediately. I also can't eat Wasabi, that shit is gross.

>>9113710
>literally drinking cum flavoured soda

>>9113946

Don't have to use punctuation to recognize pure retardation desu :^)

>>9113213
I got a whole one at a dinner when I was in France and I thought it was a regular sausage. Tasted like unwashed taint.

>>9112997
>>9112969
Those aren't meant to be eaten straight up, they're cut up and mixed into other dishes. It's like if you ate a spoonful of salt, of course it tastes bad.

Century egg in pork rice porridge is very good, look up a recipe it's super easy to make

>>9114145
Andouillette is legitimately foul, it literally tastes like shit

>>9114383
You know what's really fucking retarded, they consider it a delicacy and there's even an andouillette fan club.

The French are fucking retards.

>>9114442
I can see how it can be an acquired taste, being into durian myself. The French take food snobbery to a whole new level though.

>>9113066
Holy kek

>>9113134
>onions and mushrooms are objectively disgusting

>>9112928
probably ketchup tbqh

>>9114442
Andouillette is just awesome, what are you talking about

>>9114949
I think you might be thinking of cajun andouille, if not you must have broken your tastebuds from all the chainsmoking Pierre.

Andouillete is fucking disgusting, it tastes and smells like shit, literally.

>>9114957
My name is Jean and not Pierre, first thing first.

And real tasty andouillette like the one you find in south-west, near Toulouse or Perpignan is just the best fucking thing ever.

Then again, maybe you're talking about boudin, which i can agree is pretty tough when you're not used to it.

>>9113008
You have no idea how good onion is. You can eat rings of it raw and it's good, or fry it off in butter and salt. Add that shit to a steak sandwich and you're golden.

>>9112928
the scorpion inside a bottle of vodka. It exploded in my mouth and tasted like shitty vodka,nail clippings and rotten mush.

>>9114960
Nah, wasn't boudin, it was proper andouillette, the sausage with a coarse texture and made of innards.

I had it in San Malo, Brittany, no clue where it came from though

>>9115011
Not him but I wish I could like onions. Not sure if it is the weird crunch or the taste but unless cut really tiny so it is unnoticeable it just ruins my food

>>9115087
I never used to like onions, desu. I don't know what changed in me. It might be in the way it's prepared, at least for me.
The crunch is a bit strange at times, I don't usually like crunchy vegetables. The taste is quite powerful too, and it tends to linger. Also if it's raw, I find onion can have a real bite to it, which is probably off-putting for some.

>>9112928
isnt that cannibalism OP? can we even post that?

>>9114219
It's used a fair amount in western-influenced Asian cooking, initially just for availability but now more for being specifically sweet-sour and prespiced.

In Burgerland recipes it's definitely just "I ain't buyin' none of them goshforsakened wop fruits!" territory.

>>9115490
this is now a cannibalism thread

>>9115825

>>9112979
>when you make an ABSOLUTELY DELICIA post

Carrots. How the fuck people can eat those shits is beyond me. Every year i try one to see if i like them but i always end up gagging theyre just so nasty and sweet.
Inb4 fat fuk dont eat he veggies, i was a raw vegan for a while then vegetarian for 4 years

>>9113008
Onions are literally in anything delicious

>>9114030
People are usually grossed out by the appearance, but do it with a sweet and spice sauce the texture of the chicken feet is pretty interesting to eat.

>>9114329
If Mountain Dew sold a flavor named Bowser's Nut Essence i'd be on that shit immediately

>>9117026
arrots are the best crunchy snack youbfucking ramen nigger. Get some taste buds

I don't like carrots and mushrooms. I've never actually had mushrooms properly but I've never thought of eating them by themselves. I think I had tried it before and didn't like the taste so it stuck with me. I do eat mushrooms in risotto though. I can never eat carrots by themselves unless they are in a stew or something.

>>9115087
Fry the fuck out of them.
They lose the crunch and a lot of the acrid taste.
I used to gag upon detecting any solid onion in my mouth because my first experience was mcdonalds godless rehydrated onions.
Fry em till they're good and brown and you'll be reborn, as I was.

>>9113176
Mushrooms are pretty nice raw but most of the time when they're cooked they're too slimy and the texture is horrible. Onions are disgusting on their own but essential as an ingredient.

Carrots are objectively delicious. You're subhuman if you don't like them.

>>9118588
It's literally gnawing skin and fat off the bone of the foot that may or may not be tasty with good seasoning. It's poverty food. It's right up there with chewing on a rats tail

I once accidently used tomato paste instead of tomato sauce for some indian food I was trying to make and it tasted like absolute shit but I was a complete poorfag at the time so I had to eat it or eat nothing.

>>9112928
I once was driving down the Autobahn and had to piss really hard. Closest toilet was in a lonely McDonalds, so I decided to go there. Problem is, they don't let you use thier toilets without buying something and I also felt a bit hungry so I just ordered myself a Big Tasty Bacon. Shit was so disgusting, I don't know where to start. It was instable as fuck, the bread tasted disgusting and my fingers were covered in an awful sauce. Tomatoes had no taste, the meat was also incredibly bland and I had to throw up afterwards just because it was this disgusting.

Mushrooms are a fungus, not a vegetable, fuckwit.

Chinese Soft Shell Turtle. It was cooking as a kind of wet stir fry. Taste was unremarkable but there was something really wrong about the texture of the shell, like soft rubber.

Fried dog shit.

>>9123131
>and my fingers were covered in an awful sauce
Shouldn't have eaten it in the bathroom

>>9112928
Im a super picky eater. Worst food I've ever tried is no joke either mashed potatos, milk, or oakra.

>>9112928
I had some kind of vegan macaroni dish that my friend's girlfriend made and that was the nastiest thing I've ever eaten. This macaroni was some abomination that contained butternut squash and a shitton of mustard. I still gag thinking about how awful that thing was even after 3 years.
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but I was always open to try vegan and vegetarian dishes till I had that macaroni dish. Now I steer clear of them in fear of having something like it again.

I grew up in a poor-ish farming community eating every part of the animal. I have eaten my vegetables since I was a kid and ate onions like apples. I go out of my way for wierd food when work sends me places. But the worst I ever had was a gravy my mother was trying out that used apricot juice. The night before was pan fried bull testicle, the night after was hog foot soup (if there is such a thing as too much collagen, its from using pigs feet for broth) but I gagged and nearly threw up smelling a pork gravy that had fruit in it. No idea why.

Cartilage is pretty disgusting. It makes me gag when i bite cartilage.
Raw chicken is ok, well done chicken is good, but rare chicken is bad. Too chewy.

I went to America once. Their cuisine is AWFUL. Flavourless crap filled with corn sugar.

>>9119572

>>9112928
I don't remember ever having eaten something so gross it stuck with me. Maybe Roquefort when I was young, but I like that now.

However, I tried to make a cucumber salad earlier and I don't know where I went wrong, but the aftertaste is absolutely horrible and it still lingers in my mouth. It was the worst I've had in quite a while.

>>9112928

Hi Bettynho

My mom brought home a bucket of fried chicken from I think A&W one summer and I bit into a piece that was an unidentifiable, not fully cooked organ. I assumed since it was fried it would all taste the same but I was very, very wrong.

>>9112969
They look disgusting, but just taste like jelly, doesn't even have a weird taste.

>>9112974
I bet you eat stuff with yeast (which is a fungus also) in it though faggot. (bread, cake, other baked goods)

"Diet Chicken Tendies"

Tasted like death, freaked out on my mom.

Where can I eat this 'sopa de macaco' you guys at /ck/ love so much? You talk about it all the time so it must be awesome.

1. Go to Brazil, preferably Rio de Janegro
2. Get deep inside the favela.
3. If you are not mugged and raped during the first 5 minutes rest easy, it means you have been accepted.
4. Go to the niggerest negro, grab him by the shoulders. As you look straight into his eyes, black as the rainforest canopy on a moonless night, shout "UMA DELICIA".
5. His eyes will roll back and he will enter into a trance. This is normal, it means you've made contact with the favela elder.
6. He will begin to mumble "sopa de macaco, sopa de macaco, sopa de macaco." Whatever you do, do NOT interrupt this process.
7. Finally, after 10 minutes of trance, he will point towards a nearby shack.
8. Inside, you will find Bettynho Zirigdum, your spirit guide to the favela. He will lead you across many broken streetlamps, muddy side streets and stray dogs to the heart of the favela itself. Here a plate of sopa de macaco will be waiting for you. It will be the most delicious thing you will ever taste.
9. Once you are finished eating, you will collapse right then and there. You will wake up 7 days later on your hotel room with no money, a burning sensation on your rectum, and no recollection of what happened. Embrace it. It means you have been accepted into the ancient culture of the favela dwellers.

Fried chicken gizzards. Gritty, chewy, bitter bullshit.

>>9115837
Memes aside do human meats actually taste like pork? Some old Chinese stories I read described the period of damned time where they have to eat their children and literally hunt down other young men and women due to the ages old famine. It said human meats taste like pork and several cannibals of our modern era described it as a pork meat too so it got me thinking maybe muslims were right for not eating long pigs .

>>9132904
Probably not, since humans eat plenty of meat.

I can't really do tripe. I really tried to like menudo, I went to the best menudo place in town for it, but the literal vomit taste is just bad.

>>9133394
It's truly an acquired taste, I literally live in a country that makes menudo as a usual dish (not a bean tho) and I only it when hungry mother never eats it.

Not eaten persay but I had Maggot Tequila once which was pretty horrible.
