What do you eat that others find gross?

fermented tofu (everyone calls it "stinky tofu")
the liver pate they put in combo banh mi is awesome, but I don't like liver otherwise
pork stomach (depends on how they make it.. if it's fried it's like any other junk food)
cow tongue (not a fan)
some people think squid is weird (I make it Vietnamese style, using the ink as a base for the sauce)
quail egg
Vietnamese drink of condensed milk, raw egg & ginger ale or club soda
lobster brains
shrimp heads (if it's fried)
roe
blood tofu

Oh and shark.

A lot of these things aren't weird depending on your culture. I'm very open with food, and I'll try pretty much anything but dog, cat, and human. And I won't eat things if they're still moving. I'd have to think about it if you offered me barbecued bull testes...

Almost anything can taste good if prepared properly.

Growing up on authentic Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese since 1987 :) I like to stay away from a lot of the streamlined stuff here in the States.
 
As a kid, I used to be obsessed with chicken livers! My mom would buy them for our cat and I'd steal them right out of his dish. Pretty weird. I've since deweirded myself... kind of :)
 
Nothing gross...unusual would be turtle, mountain lion, and bear. Not a fan of the latter two, turtle is chewy. Grew up having rocky mountain oysters seasonally-butterflied and deep fried. Dove is my favorite wild game meat, stir fried with rice. Moose is a close second, tastes better but lacks the sentimental value of dove hunting with my dad.

In terms of what others consider gross...peanut butter and cheddar cheese on toast probably raises the most eyebrows.
 
Maybe everyone else finds them delicious and that is why it has not been mentioned but I love some Fried Pickles.

We actually just did this in my Psych1 class haha. I do love me some sushi (raw tends to freak people out it seems...) other than that nothing abnormal. My boyfriend on the other hand... ew is all I can say (all the things that gross me out: chicken hearts, innards in general, snails etc) haha
