Janie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I had lobster once and cannot bring myself to try it again. I know it wasn't prepared right but it was such a horrible taste and texture, it still makes me shiver... twenty years later. That's how bad it was. I've had food poisoning easily over thirty times in my life and I have forced myself to re-try those foods/dishes that made me ill but I cannot bring myself to try lobster again. That's how awful it was. Tasted like burnt curdled milk and had more chew than a tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peking duck is my #3! I'm no food snob [good food can be found in every corner of the planet] but I reckon you went to a crummy restaurant. Traditionally, Peking duck is served in a steamed pancake with spring onions and a sweet bean sauce. Then, cucumber sticks are added to that. You basically roll up all that lovely stuff within the pancake and go to town. http://comps.fotosearch.com/comp/corbis/DGT385/peking-duck-pancakes_~TOA0084.jpg Funnily, the fortune cookie isn't even really Chinese. It's actually based more on a Japanese cracker. But somehow it got popular in the U.S. P.S. Of all the Chinese restaurants I went to in China I only found ONE place that gave me a fortune cookie...and that was the one with nothing but foreign tourists on a tour. Just sayin'.

Barchetta82 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Balut. A Filipino delicacy which is a nearly fully-formed duck or chicken embryo. The bird is mostly there, complete with beak and feathers.
