A more disgusting experience, though it might not sound so bad, is sucking the marrow out of a sheep's bone. The marrow itself is not bad, but the tactile experience of holding a big, broken sheep's bone with a fatty joint on the end while wearing cheap plastic gloves that make your hands sweat, and using a thin little juice box straw to suck the marrow out of the bone, watching the gooey clumps of marrow gradually get slurped up the straw. That was not enjoyable.

I've also eaten loads of other brains, internal organs, large insects, eyes, crab sperm, whole small birds and fish, ligaments, and more. As I said earlier in the thread, eating human foetus is the most shocking thing I've heard of in China, but the Chinese culinary palate accepts a lot of foods that would make the average Canadian a bit queezy.
