YOU WIN!!!!! |
And it was still warm from being in the ground!
When my navy shipmates dared me, I went so far as popping the whole thing in my mouth at once, shell and all. Can still remember pulling out one leg slowly out of my mouth to show them, then back in for some more chewing. They were soooo grossed out.
(didn't taste very good though) |

Sort of fits this topic...
Background
I used to roll my own cigarettes WAAAY back in university. If my roomy were around I'd roll one up for him too. He dubbed them "torpedo's", for my rolling style.
The Prank
One day my roomy was out writing an exam. I rolled him up a "torpedo" and put it on his desk with a note, "To relax you after your exam." I put a bit of tobacco in it, but it was mostly rabbit crap, from Whisky, my pet rabbit. Rabbit crap chops up quite nicely, & it was pretty dry.
The Result
I meant to be there when he got back, so I could stop him after he lit it, but as it turned out I was having lunch, so he smoked the entire thing. He said it was pretty good. Luckily he didn't beat me up when I told him.
:-D

We played a similar stunt in college. We used to have a lot of parties and there was this one guy who would steal cigarettes for himself if you left yours unattended for a minute.
All the guys in the house worked at the same pizza joint and after work, we'd have 50 or so friends over. One night after closing, we found a half empty pack of cigarettes that someone had left on a table. We made a plan:
First, carefully empty the tobacco from the smokes. Reload them with red pepper flakes and a bit of tobacco at the end. Leave them on the table. Wait...
Our cig thief was quite intoxicated by the time he discovered them and took one. He lights it up, takes one hit, then another. After the third deep drag, he starts hacking and coughing...........
We never told him what was going on or admitted to being behind it, but I think he kinda knew, coz he stopped swiping and started buying his own.

In Mexico, it's called Lengua and it is delicious. I used to get lengua burritos all the time when I lived in LA. You can buy it in a lot of supermarkets in So Cal too. I've never cooked it myself, but I've eaten plenty.
Now, I have yet to find the intestinal fortitude to try Sesos (Cow Brains) or Cabeza (Basically boiled beef head), but those were available at the same places.

Fried cod tongues. MMMMMMMMMM. Not actually a tongue as such but rather the muscle from the underside of the cod's jaw. There's a bit of gelatineous matter in the mix there too. But they are actually very good. Better than the cod itself some say. Some people get all grossed out over the name. Anyone ever try them?

In high school we went fishing with some buddies. They made lunch. We didn't know it until after we ate the sandwiches, that they had place some mighty fine Earth worms in them. I only thought that he had dropped the sandwich or something was kind of gritty. I thought it was funny, others were grossed beyond control (Ralphers).
Also, had to eat a grasshopper to get my grade in an entomology class in college, that was bad (the after taste made me drink a quart of water).
Rattlesnake is good, bear is too greasy, Mountain lion is to stringy, moose, elk, deer are excellent. Squirrel sucks. As a biologist, we eat most things.

This was not an eating thing, but a drinking thing.
Back in my navy days as an instructor, we used to all chip in for our coffee. One Chief next door used to always come around and snag a cup, which we didn't mind really, excpet the rule was that if you finished the pot, you made another. Well we got tired of his taking the last cup and leaving, so....
We got some Phenothalein from the water testing lab and added "some" to the last cup in the pot and none of us touched it, waiting for the Chief to do his regular. Pheno is the active incredient in laxatives btw. Hehehehehe
When it hit him, he was rewarded with all the rolls of toilet paper soaking wet. Was probably about the same kinda scene as in Dumb & Dumber.
Oh the days.... |

Another incident when I was in college involved one roomate who consistently ate other people's food. Even when caught red-handed, he would say something like, "Dude, I asked you last night and you said it was cool.", when he had done no such thing.
So, the rest of us hatched a plan:
The bait - One half jar of delicious home made salsa, clearly marked with another roomate's name.
The prank - Purely psychological
After Food Thief ate the salsa in question, Salsa Owner asks him if it tasted OK. F.T. denies eating it. S. O. says, "Well that's good for you because I'm so sick of people eating my food, I pissed in it and left it for the bastard, so whoever the thief is, he got what he deserved."
Later, Food Thief was heard puking in the bathroom.

Nice prank. A roommate of mine used to use my towel in the bathroom and it drove me nuts. He'd step on it and leave it wet on the floor for me to use a few minutes later.
A friend of mine told me he had the same problem with his roommate, so one day, who also never cleaned the bathroom. Well... one day, after the other roommate hadn't taken his turn properly in cleaning, the bathroom got cleaned. Mostly with the towel. Which went right back up on the rack for later use.
I didn't have the guts to go that route, so I just kept my towel in my room after that.
Heh.
As far as eating things, I draw the line at liver, blood, brains and baloot. I have a number of filipina friends and dated one filipina for a while, and it drives me nuts that they all think baloot is so good.
I tried to get some termites in a rather shady part of Hong Kong a year or so ago, but they were out of stock that week.
I've tried all the basics though, chickens feet, fish eyes, snake, (missed out on lizard in costa rica) squid eyeballs, whole squid (squid ink is a popular flavour for pasta in asia - and squid and octopus are excellent sources of meat very low fat too) cow stomach, cow intestine, fish head soup, whole black chicken soup (whole except all the good bits :(, chicken neck, thousand year egg (marinated for a couple of months in horse urine - they are surprsingly tight lipped when asked about it's origin for some reason). Snake alley boasts snake blood and snake venom as well as snake semen in alcohol... Anything can be labelled an aphrodesiac it seems.
Baloot is probably 2nd on my list for total nastiness. Anything Foetal shouldn't be eaten. Something about fertilization...
The worst thing I ever heard of was in Chinese class from my teacher. A table with a hole in it, live monkey inserted up from under the table, screws used to hold head in place, Skull removed by saw and fresh brains for the eating. This is only available in certain places in Mainland China. It is very expensive and totally illegal. Guys with blond hair like mine need not apply.
Almost brought tears to my eyes to hear the description. Almost had the whole class walk out too. |

okay....man....had to take a minute break after reading the gross stuff!!!
Mine isn't that gross compared to some! I've ate smoked octopus (just the tentacle) and it was pretty good. We stopped at the "Big Texan" in ...... Texas! Amarillo, I think (can't remember) but we got the platter with rattlesnake, calf-fries (balls), buffalo, and rabbit. I think that was all that was on it....the rattlesnake was the only one I liked. I do have a girlfriend her in FL that told me her grand-dad (before he passed away) used to eat squirrel brain sandwiches....YUCK! People around here (some, not all) eat squirrel and people on the north side (black side of town. yup, a lot of people still live segregated and they even have white and black cemetaries. strange huh?) eat racoon but you have to leave the hair on one paw so that you can prove it's a racoon...because apparently people would sell cats and try to pass them off as racoons....and it's hard to tell the difference once they've been skinned.
In my younger days I when I went to parties we had guys that would do like someone previously mentioned....eat moths and gross everyone out.

There are actually serious health reasons why someone would not want to eat brains, including humble squirrel brains.
It has been noted that Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis or similar variants have only shown up in cultures that eat brains and that are cannibals.
Dangerous stuff.
Sorry, haven't got anything to prove it or back it up, just something I picked up when I took a food course a few years back. The information was on a Canadian Government Food Safety course... I guess it's accurate. |
