The worst or most disgusting things you ever ate or drank

Black pudding (AKA Blood Sausage - Boudin Noir)

I am a northern lad (UK)...all the talk of Haslet & tripe had me nostalgic.
I can destroy a yummy haggis, but I cannot be a true Northener as I hate black pudding.





Congealed pig fat & pig's blood....it's just wrong!

Mate, I wouldn't feed that too the pigs, and they'd eat anything

I mean pig organs, white bread mixed with stinking spices, where could i go wrong

But enough about Kerry

Only wish i`d been able to smell it before i spent money on it, as the solid mess tasted like rotten cat food dug from a dead lepers arse

But enough about Kerry

Very nice in a roll or a sandwich, with added piccalilli and a couple of pickled onions.

Pumpkin soup or Goose I really don't know which is worse, my dad loved both and they were Christmas regulars, as a child after the first time, refused to eat them, disgusting.

Man oh man. I really like both pumpkin soup and goose. Of course I've had bad versions of both.

I make my own pumpkin soup and it's a tad spicy. It tastes nothing like liquid pumpkin pie. But I can usually only find fresh pumpkin in the fall. Sometimes I cheat and make it with acorn squash.

Goose on the other hand is sometimes hard to find and then it's crazy expensive. But nothing is better than a really well done goose. Some folks have no idea how to prep it for roasting (i.e. my mom). If not prepared right it (like all water fowl) ends up disgustingly greasy. It has to be either steamed or boiled for a few minutes and then immediately blasted with high heat and air --A convection oven is great for this or use a hair dryer. The boiling or steaming opens the skin and the heat keeps it that way. The boiling steaming can be skipped, but then the drying takes a lot longer (overnight with a fan on it for example) the drying part can't be skipped. The fat melts away leaving a very crispy skin. It's similar to the way the Chinese roast their duck.

The rendered duck fat is excellent for cooking potatoes or onions, etc.

Milk on the other hand I can't drink. Makes me fart. That whole lactose intolerant thing.

From what I remember, and this was back in the late fifties, mum used onions, apples, butter and some weird looking leaves. She cooked it in the oven on its side, I was in the kitchen when she turned it. Two saucepans on the go, one had all the nasties out of its innards, which was drained and used as gravy, the other was some alcohol based sauce, which they poured over the breast when it was cooked. My parents loved it and it was normally our Christmas eve dinner, as for the soup, apart from the pumpkin, no idea what when in it.
