    I got a curry tray on the way home from work one time.
    Got home and started to tuck in.
    Didn't look at what I was eating(well it was just curry and chips) so was a couple of forkfuls in when I looked at the next forkful.
    On it was half an earwig.
    Now this in itself was disgusting enough until I realised that it was HALF an earwig.
    Yup you can guess where the other half had gone:eek:

    Very same thing happened me. I was sharing a curry with my friend, we don't know who ate the missing half :(

    Years ago in a small village in the south of France I chanced upon a restaurant. My French was crap but I went for the dish of the day. It was tasteless apart from the sauce it was in. It turned out to be sheeps brain - I was not impressed.

    Did you eat the meat from the stall or from the vendor?:p

    I had quite a lot of food from the street vendors in Thailand and never got sick from it,loved it actually.
    The only food that made me ill over there was when we ate in a Dutch restaurant:confused:
    Sick as a parrot from that one.

    French restaurant in Ko Samui.

    First time I learned not to trust a fart.

    got chicken burger in Rick's once - absolutely disgusting. Chicken was a brick, withered lettuce and mayo tasted rank. The chips were like cardboard aswell.

    Only went back two more times:pac:

    Got this pie in morroco, can't remember what it was called but it was pidgeon and vegetables in pastry, it's their national dish i think - it was absolutely horrible! Must have been gone off or something cos i could only ate about 10% of it and i was puking for 2 days after! :mad:

    I bought what I thought was a packet of frozen schnitzels (mmm...) turned out it was one measly schnitzel with frozen mashed potato, carrots and peas in it. Cooked it anyway... The vegetables were mank and the schnitzel had a weird aftertaste.

    I'm going to read my food before I buy it now.

    Went out for a fancy meal one night in Germany, picked the only veggie option on the menu; it sounded really fancy and was really looking forward to it. I almost cried when the brought it out as it was two hash browns on a plate with a tiny bit of salad..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 256 ✭✭Statistician


    Ohh I ate a few al right, takes a few hours before I get the rumble.

    Honestly when i get the urge, iv to brace myself against the wall and grit my theeth..... Then I let out an almighty fart that sounds like thunder, pebble dash the bowl and the flow sounds like I'm choking a duck.
    After the first break through its okay, just sit for another 20mins (Thank God for Wifi).


    My ring feels like iv been bummed by king Kong afterwards though :(
    I enjoy all that.
    If I knew a food that could do that to me without making me feel nauseous, I'd eat it now again for a special bowels treat.

    On holiday in Puerto Rico in Gran Canaria, there was what looked like a bus shelter on a corner that served beer 24/7, great from when coming home sloshed and having one for the ditch. If only I'd stuck to the beer. A couple of nights in I noticed they were selling burgers too. Myself and a few friends got stuck in. Whilst eating one, they seemed distinctly crunchy. It was only when I cut the inside of my mouth I realised they were bits of bone.

    Thankfully it was the one time that alcohol was my friend as it must have staved off the food poisoning. It was only late the next day that I remember the locals laughing at us and mentioning "una burgesa de rata".

    Didn't stop me going back for beer though.

    Ordered a Chinese takeaway for myself and the ex, when I got home I noticed a maggot in the chau mein contents luckily before I tucked into it. I almost puked my guts up. I went back to the takeaway and your one behind the counter offered me something else. No thanks, took the cash and never set foot in the door again. I knew one of the lads working there so I didn't want to get FSA involved.

    Was out for a meal in Pa Pa Thai in New Ross after my cousin's confirmation a few years ago, my aunt was paying for everything, she wouldn't let us pay for ours.

    Now I love curry and spicy food in general, so I decided I would order the thai green chicken curry.

    Honest to god, my mouth was literally on fire after one bite, and it was fairly vile on top of that. I spent the whole time there trying to get all the sauce off the chicken with napkins because I didn't have the heart to leave it behind me after my aunt paying for it.


    So anytime I go there now I stick to the Weeping Tiger Steak. If you haven't tried it yet, you haven't lived! :D

    There's a seasonal food very popular in northern Sweden called surströmming, literally "sour herring". I was once invited to a garden party in Stockholm to enjoy the freshly arrived new season's fish. They came in large cans, which were puffed up like footballs. When the cans were pierced, a jet of foul-smelling gas hissed out. Then the lid was cut off and someone picked up the first fish by the tail and put it on my plate. It was about 12-14 cm long and covered in a thick coating of a greenish-yellow snot-like slime. :eek::eek::eek:

    Since I was, in a way, the guest of honour and clearly regarded as representing Ireland, I had no option but to swallow it. It tasted like I imagine salty snot tastes, but the fact that I has already consumed a lot of schnapps helped it and the next few fish go down as well.:D

    Students training to be barristers at King's Inns have to attend dinners as part of a tradition called "dining for Ireland", but I reckon I dined for Ireland that evening as well. Probably the most patriotic thing I've ever done, to be honest.:o

    TIP: If you are ever in Sweden in late summer and get invited to a surströmming party - run!
