(#8) Fermented Shark Bits
Hákarl, an Icelandic specialty, is a greenland or sleeping shark that has fully rotted and then hung to dry for four or five months. The shark can't be eaten fresh because it's poisonous to humans; it's served in cubes on a toothpick, and first-timers are advised to plug their noses to help with the gagging. Even chef and world-traveller Anthony Bourdain says it's "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing," he's ever eaten. And that guy eats some pretty crazy stuff!

(#17) Ant Eggs
Escamoles --- which are more commonly known as the slimy, repulsive eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant --- are considered a delicacy in Mexico. According to foodie fans, they possess a pleasantly nutty, buttery taste, but according to anyone with common sense, they're terrifying and gross and should never be consumed by another human being. Not today, Satan. -
(#2) The Most Disgusting Cheese in the World
Casu Marzu is a type of cheese that has to be left in the sun until it becomes rotten and full maggots. The process of producing this cheese is considered a process of finely metered fermentation. Sometimes, when disturbed, the maggot larvae can "jump" for distances up to 5-6 inches—some prefer to scrape the larvae out before consuming for this reason. This maggot-infested cheese is so gross and unsanitary that it will not be found in any parts of America.

(#6) Surströmming
The Scandinavians land on this list once again. Surstromming is a Swedish staple consisting of fish that has been fermenting in a can of bacteria for an extended period of time. Horrifyingly, the fish's resulting stench is usually so foul that Swedes have to take it outside to eat it. We're not sure why anyone would continue to eat something after literally being forced out of their own home by how disgusting it is, but whatever. Apparently it goes well with sour cream. -
(#15) A Whole Sheep’s Head
Hmmm... I really don't like my food staring right back at me. It makes me feel kind of guilty... all right, I'll eat its eyes first. -
(#18) Mongolian Boodog
This Mongolian dish involves either a goat or a marmot and cooking the entire body with stones, onions, and salt in the stomach. You'll know when it's done when the fat starts to leak through the skin.
