Ok, inspired by a silly list of pictures from the Wanfujing Night Market in Beijing, I started remembering some of the weird (and sometimes gross) things I have eaten in the past: silk worms, Japanese grated yam (the most disgusting texture I have ever experienced), whole bird on a stick, Chinese Thousand Year Eggs, sauteed lettuce, etc.
So I really would like to know:
What is the weirdest (or most disgusting) food you have ever eaten?
As always, I’m looking for good stories, and although I won’t be offering a prize this week, shouldn’t sharing with (and hopefully shocking) your fellow food lovers be reward enough?

Okay, here is my weirdest food experience (ironically, it is a combination of basic foods to ill effect): At some point when I was about 9 or 10 my Dad decided to do a little experiment with my brother and I. I am pretty sure that it was during the summer and my brother and I had been out playing all day (we lived in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the redwoods in far northern California and could roam for miles without worry, even at a young age). My brother and I showed up in time for dinner and we were starving and ready to plow through anything that was put in front of us. My Dad put in front of us a staple of our childhood, spaghetti with meat sauce. As it turns out, my Dad had an odd smile on his face during the course of the meal. Something did taste very strange, but neither my brother or I could figure out what was going on. My Dad finally broke down and told us that he had, in fact, added bananas to the spaghetti sauce! Needless to say, my brother and I were initially repulsed and then found it to be hilarious, as any good 9 to 11 year old should.
