I have travelled a fair bit and tasted a number of local delicacies. Easily the worst thing I have tried was something I had in South Korea. I have to admit I was a little intoxicated at the time of trying this local dish. I also have to say I will never eat it again, EVER. I sat down with a group of friends in a restaurant and as a starter we were served live octopus. Yes it was still wriggling about, it had been chopped literally just before being bought to the table. It was still moving when I put it in my mouth. It was discusting. No other words to describe it. What is the worst thing you have eaten??

Korean's raw beef with raw eggs was intriguing at first but very nice!! and i have eaten many others, snakes, tigers, monkey, ox tongue, pigs brain, frogs, dogs, and many others (my grandfather was a hunter).. they were all good stuff to be honest..

Oh my god you really have eaten lots of strange foods! Wow what did monkey taste like? They eat dog in Korea usually in a soup i think. It is something I was offered when I was in Korea but I just could not eat it. What does that taste like? Thanks for the comment?

Waw! Seems like you love to eat extreme foods! My parents would love to do it and ask advice from you
It's quiet hard to buy those kind of food in my country, except if you hunt it and lucky you, your grandpa was a hunter
have you ever experience diarrhea or stomach ache after eat certain extreme food? If yes, may I know what food is it?

I can't imagine to eat wriggling octopus.. The worst thing I ever eat is a soup from Korea called "choo o tang" or sounds like that. My brother suggest it and it's the first time I try to eat in Korean restaurant. It made from blended eel or catfish and they add certain spices on it. The taste is sour! and the texture of blended catfish is like porridge, so imagine you eat black sour porridge with certain smell of spices..No, I will never eat it again! I don't know it's because I choose the wrong restaurant or I choose the wrong menu.. But maybe "Bulgogi" or other menu taste delicious.. I will be selective next time and ask first before I choose any menu again!

That doesn't sound very tasty at all. Korean food can be a bit hit and miss. You can't go wrong with bulgogi, kimchi, dubu and kimbap! Next time try something simple to get you used to korean food. It is great if you like pickled flavours and garlic. I love korean food but not when I first went there. thanks for the comment!
