What Is The Most Disgusting Thing You've Ever Ate?
David In Indy:
In reference to the various Scandinavian dishes mentioned on here, I remember hearing about something called Lutefisk (I think that was the name of it) and it is very popular in Minnesota and Wisconsin. They prepare the fish with lye. I can't remember the reason for doing it, but the fish is soaked in lye and then thoroughly washed in water to get the lye back out. But the fish retains a lye flavor which didn't sound very good to me. Are any of our Scandinavian friends familiar with Lutefisk? I heard about it on the Travel Channel.

I think chicken livers (fegato di pollo) are fairly common in Italy. I've had them in Tuscany, commonly as a spread on toasty bread. Also, there's a northern Italian restaurant in Boston called Davio's that serves crispy chicken livers with a port/balsamic glaze that are so good, they could convert a liver hater.
I just saw that Davio's has a Philadelphia branch! South 17th Street. Highly recommended.
BTW, Milo, after reading your ambitious list of exotica, I'm wondering how your cholesterol is!

Yes, I know about Davio's but I have not been there yet.
My cholesterol is pretty good. I don't eat that stuff every day. Many of the items on the list fall into the "tried it once" category.

You're very welcome. I used to think chicken livers were disgusting when I was a kid. My mother used to cook them (to death :P) and the smell was overwhelming. She'd wrap them in bacon and eat them all by herself!
Now, I love them, especially after trying Davio's' version.
