Top 5 Most Disgusting Foods Ever.

There are a lot of bad things coming out about HFSC (High Fructose Corn Syrup) lately, and it has inspired me to make a list of completely organic and 100% nasty foods. While I have seen many blogs about gross foods, I'd like to take the time to make my own.

*Disclaimer: Some of the following foods will put you off your lunch*

#5- Kopi Luwak
Ah, I love the smell of coffee in the morning. Don't you? Well, you'd probably think twice if you ever smelled this type of coffee. Kopi Luwak is an especially nasty coffee made from the beans of coffee berries which had been previously eaten by the Asian Palm Civet. That's right, that fancy cup of coffee you might be drinking could be previously expelled from a wild animal. Rethinking that second cup of Joe, eh?

#4- Haggis
The Scots aren't known for their culinary expertise, which is why this particular dish gets a spot on my list. Haggis is a traditional Scottish meal that contains sheep bits(heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours. Tasty, no? Don't think you've ever eaten an animal stomach before? You couldn't be more wrong. If you've ever had a meal that contains tripe, you've had it. That's right. For all my Hispanic friends who've ever had Menudo to cure their hangovers, you've just eaten a differing version of my #4.

#3- Pizzle
Ever wonder what that "rawhide" you gave to your dog is really made of? Pizzle. Or, for those of you not versed in old English, bull penis. This may not be of concern for you, unless you've unknowingly eaten it somewhere. Many cultures use pizzle in their foods, as it is low in cholesterol and high in protein. So, before you give your dog that tasty treat, or eat the mystery meat in that soup, ask yourself "Should I buy this thing a drink first?" You never know. You could be going mano y mano with a bull's...er, naughty bits.

#2- Curtled Milk Blood Custard
The Maasai tribe is a very interesting tribe. It's a patriarchal society. The men are fierce warriors. The women are the Kenyan eqivalent of homemakers. And one of their cutoms is to drink/eat the curtled milk of their cattle. Mixed with blood. Cow blood. Enough said.

#1- Cazu Marzu Cheese
Oh no! The cheese is moldy! Pfft...mold is the least of your problems. You could have Cazu Marzu, also known as "maggot cheese". Made from Pecorino cheese, it goes well beyond it's aging process into decomposition. It's crawling with larvae of the Cheese Fly. It's too gross for me to completely type the details out, so I'll just leave you with a link to the Wikipedia page. Don't forget to properly store your cheese!
