Balut - partially developed chicken or duck embryos. It’s served a number of ways, but the one that turned my stomach was boiled in the shell and served like a soft-boiled egg. Watched my Filipino friend eat it. He scooped the whole thing into his mouth and when he bit down, the body cavity of the embryo ruptured, causing the entrails to pop out of his mouth. Then he slurped them back in like spaghetti. That’s about when I refilled the beer pitcher with my puke.
Surströmming - fermented herring. Looks like rotten fish. Smells like rotten fish. Tastes like…well I don’t know. All I can tell you is it was salty, but beyond that all I tasted was vomit. Watching a neophyte eating it will usually treat you to the sound of gagging, followed by vomiting. Maybe your own, since the smell is truly pervasive.
Okay that first one is easily the most horrifying thing I’ve read this morning, and this is minutes after reading about the dude who mixed his dad’s sperm with his own.
This article leaves me with so many questions. How did the council find out? Why did they want to force a paternity test? Why did they say there is a “welfare minefield” due to this? Why is this anybody’s business?
