National Escargot Day: ‘Gross’ Foods

For those who don’t know, Escargot are snails that people eat. I’ve never tried and I don’t really want to. This is the main food I think of when I think of ‘gross’ things people eat. I know I shouldn’t judge, but it’s hard here. Then again, people judge me for eating calamari because they think squid is gross. There are other ‘gross’ foods in my mind as well:

Frog legs
Cow tongue
Liver
Haggis
Tarantulas
Ants
Monkey brain
Cavier
Gefilte fish

The list can keep going. Yet, I know there are big audiences for all of what I mentioned here. Otherwise, people would know that they’re edible. They would have disappeared from the global menu long ago. It all got me thinking too.

What is a food that you find gross and others love?
What is the strangest food you have ever heard of?
What food do you love that others find gross?
