what "gross" food do you eat?

Amjoy25

What do you eat that some may find "gross" and/or may not be accepted by society...and when I say "society", I mean TB. 

Amjoy25

Welp, I think @carriet2018 let mine slide...raw hamburger ever so delicately salted. That's pretty abnormal, I guess.

I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food, but one of my favorite dishes is lovingly called Shit on a Shingle (aka creamed chipped beef on toast)

Oh, and i love Slim Jims.  More specifically, I like to peel off and eat the skin/casing before eating the rest.

i dont know if i have anything truly gross. some say raw oysters or sushi is gross and i would like that all over my body. but i think it is accepted enough to remain unlisted. i also prob would qualify for putting a gross amount of salsa on my food.

You know my stance on these foods. Not gross.

Butter, flour, milk and cured, dried meat.  What's not to love?  Also, a good cure for the booze poos

When my mom makes the gravy at Christmas I always eat the drippings left in the strainer. I have been doing it since I was little .They are so good and flavorful. I feel like drippings should be a side dish but the rest of my family disagrees and thinks it is nasty.

Like, the turkey bits?

Isn't there a possibility you could get really sick doing this?

Raw hamburger is a common dish in a lot of countries.  I remember it being served when I was visiting a friend in Germany.  They shaped it like a little hedgehog and used onions as the quills

ETD: I still get the dry heaves thinking about eating raw hamburger though (no judgement, amjoy)

Toast with butter, strawberry jam and sharp cheddar cheese. It's my favorite and I only let myself eat it as a treat, but most people look at me like I have 2 heads when I mention it.

I'm sure there is, if it's not handled properly, but I've been doing it for YEARS and have never gotten sick. FX. #steelstomach

I legit put hot sauce on or in everything. Beef stew with hot sauce....mmm

I also burn the shit out of meat because I cannot stand the irony/blood taste so I can't imagine eating raw meat, though I remember my sea clients used to

Have you tried hot sauce in clam chowder? Gooooood. 

Mmmmmmm iron. But really some taste more iron-y than others.

I will accept @Amjoy25‌'s eating of raw hamburger as not gross if she eats it shaped like a hedgehog!

Bring it on! Also, that is too precious to eat!

Similar to this. I like slices of Cheddar off of the block dipped in apricot jam. Drool.

When I was young, my friend taught me to eat a bowl of oatmeal with a slice of provolone on top. <Not anymore

Mashed potatoes without gravy and instead with applesauce. Yumm! People think I'm crazy.

I eat and rather enjoy the green bean casserole I make for my aunt and her kids for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know cream of crap soups are frowned upon on TB (and really I try to avoid as well) but 2x/year it is absolutely delicious.

I love all casseroles! Cream of (insert what the cream is of) soups are delicious.

Yup. Gross.

Loooove black licorice.

One of my favs is vegemite and cheese sandwiches. Most Americans hate vegemite.

I also love peanut butter, pickle, cheese and butter sandwiches. Mmm

Chopped liver aka. Chicken liver pate. Mmmmmm

Edit.

I love all things chicken liver

mancila60

Fries and a chocolate shake. Like you use the shake as a dip. Take the very salty fry and dip it in the chocolate shake and enjoy! So good!

Lol this is probably what my DH finds the grossest out of the Russian foods I eat...it's cooked pigs feet, you take off the meat and put it in gelatin

Also eat cooked cows tongue and looooove liver!

acethebase

I like to put about 5 hot chocolate packets in a cup then I pour milk in and eat the hot chocolate from the bottom. I also like cinnamon graham crackers with butter =P~

Menudo.

emmylou78

Cream cheese, ham, and pickle roll-ups! Yum.

Emilyraymond

I don't know if this is a Midwest thing or what but when I lived in California, DH and I were always told how disgusting this was but we love it!! It's very common in Indiana.

Peanut butter sandwiches dipped in chili.

My 4 yr old loves pickles and bread. I love pickles but not just pickles and bread!
