I watch the tv program "Fear Factor" a lot. It just frightens me to see those participants eating exotic and nasty foods. Even heard of stinky tofu, chicken feet, "balut" and even tarantula being eaten alive! What about you? What food will you not eat even if you get paid?

I will never eat cockroaches even if they paid me thousands of dollars for it. The sight alone repels me, that imagining me eating it is just too gross for words. I'd rather eat worms than those vermin.

Me too! I will never eat a coachroach because I believe its one of the most dirtiest creature in the whole wide world! I remember dissecting one during my entomology class. Would you believe, when we opened its intestines, under a microscope, we found a lot of crawling microorganisms!!! Haha!

I'm not a picky eater but i really dont like Tofu but if you pay me I'll eat it. The only "food" that really disgusted me is house fly. It was shown in Totoo TV, a guy caught these fly then fry and eat them.

I'm not sure if I have the courage to eat these things and more which include earthworms, cockroaches and the like. But for a million dollars I would.

As for balut it taste just like an egg. I've had this often. In vietnam its a normal snack food like a boiled egg. Though the very first time I was kinda grossed out lol :).

I am a pure vegetarian right from my childhood and I have never eaten non-vegetarian or eggs even. I will not eat these even if i am paid millions. I fear a lot if I get such a thought that i have to eat them.

I'm a Filipino but I don't eat chicken feet and balut. But I do eat tofu, not the stinky ones of course but the fresh tofu. It even makes sense we have an American friend and we tried to feed him chicken feet, he's complaining that there's a lot of meat at the others part of the chicken but so why eat the feet? I can't answer it though because I don't eat chicken feet either. I think I won't eat any food even being paid. Because they would usually give something exotic and unimaginably edible food. This is why I don't participate in any eating challenge with surprise dish or food. -)
