Can You Stomach Gross Food?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

When I studied abroad in Spain, I stayed with a really nice Spanish woman. Only thing was with a few exceptions all the food she cooked was really gross! However, to keep from being rude I always tried to choke it down. I think that is when I really learned to be able to stomach gross food.

For the past year I've been incredibly poor so this is actually a pretty good skill to have. I've managed to eat 8-packs of hot dogs for $1, cheap sushi and 25 cent noodle dishes. The only thing, I think I wasn't able to eat (at least not all of) was this pork dish a Chinese family cooked for me. I tried to eat at least some of it, but there was too much and after a few bites I felt like I was going to puke.

I've often joked that I'm a real life superhero... if being able to digest everything was useful in fighting crime.


I spent 2 weeks in Thailand purposely ordering everything that was outlandish. I often wonder just how many penises and bungholes I probably ate.

It really depends. I can eat just about anything sweet or starchy that other people find gross. Any dessert that sucks, I can eat and enjoy. Same goes for side orders. Bread, noodles, you name it, even if it's terrible, I don't mind.

But bad meat or veggies...hell no.

I can stomach almost everything as I have the "iron kettle" stomach from my dad's German side. Sadly, however, I seemed to have inherited the bowels from my mom's side. So I can stomach pretty much anything, it's just it doesn't always agree with me.

I don't mind drinking raw eggs. Not that I do it regularly. Just wanted to try it out and it really wasn't that bad. I wouldn't press my luck by consuming several. Not for free anyway.

i can eat anything that is called "gross" as long as it has some kind of seasoning/flavor.

organ meat- ok
poorly seasoned organ meat- like eating a tire.

Nah, I'm a really picky eater. Anything with egg in it other than cake and I projectile vomit.

[Throwback]

When I was a kid I could eat anything with no problem at all. But I've seemed to have grown a gag reflux since then. I used to be able to eat a sandwich while somebody was puking right next to me. But now, even the smell of barf will cause me to gag

I've eaten grilled chicken blood on a stick, pork intestines, and, of course, balut.

Depends what you class as gross.
