Who thought of eating this stuff!?!

2. Cheese... ok, someone decided to eat the solid portion of spoiled milk. Essentially congealed fat and bacterial agents are the only ingredients in cheese. Again, someone decided to eat this.

Cow stomachs were once used as storage bags. Some dude in the desert was traisping around with a bag full of milk. It separated out into curds and whey. He was hungry and needed to eat, so he ate the curds. Much to his surprise, it was sweet and tasty. So, everyone came to the logical conclusion: cow stomachs are magical, and turn curdled milk into tasty treats.

I already explained this

And also

Speaking of the weird stuff that people would have to be insane to eat.....Macdonalds anyone?

McDonalds is the greatest hangover food in the world and I won't hear a word otherwise. Nothing like a nutritionless sponge to suck up the crap in your stomach the morning after the night before.

with E-Coli (or other fatal virus')

Last I checked, E-coli is bacterial. As, for that matter, is almost every disease found in even partially cooked or not-recently-killed foods.

You get my point. *goes back to change virus to bacteria*

There's lots of things that many consider disgusting. (Example: OMG, ITS SAYS THIS IS MADE WITH ANIMAL BY PRODUCTS! THAT MEANS COW GUTS AND PIG BRAINS!!! EEEWWWWW!!!!! AND I BET THEY HAVE BUGS IN THE FACTORY WHERE ITS PROCESSED!!! EEWWWWWW!!!!) My point is, (to the post I quoted), as long as its edible, healthy, and not going to harm me or compromise my health, I'll eat it.

I used to like cheese, until you pointed that out... Thanks a lot, cheese-hater!

Let's see you say that after you've been on the ocean for two months, eating nothing but salted meats and... actually, that's it. And it's more salt than meat, as the salt's purpose is to keep bugs out of it.

These people mistook mantatees for mermaids, and saw sea monsters at ever turn. Surely, eating seaweed isn't at all shocking. That it's STILL eaten by some people, that confuses me.

okay, I had sushi the other day (I eat it a lot but that's beside the point) and it made me think of this thread. Octopus tenticals, I mean it still has those little suckery things on it, it sounds gross, it looks worse, but its so good. Who thought, lets nick the little critters tenticals and eat them raw with rice?

anyone had haggis. that's the good stuff.

ZOMG! Haggis! Yummy! <3

*sigh* Whoever would have thought Sheep Guts would taste so great? xD

XD im gonna be a little off topic, but, the way they package and process food is kinda gross. its so unsanitary in some of those factories. you eat like at least 9 cochroaches a year in your food and dont even know it, like 1000 ants, 100 milli bugs, etc, etc. isnt that gross. food that isnt so disgusting acually is.

Yeah. The percentage of bug parts in food is low though, and it's found in almost every food you eat. And since the parts are so small, the USDA allows it to be sold to the public. o_O;; But I bet it's just like this as with any other country.

Oh well. We gotta have some extra protein in the food, don't we? ;P

(Just like how it's said that you eat like....10 spiders a year or something when you sleep. XD)
