Maybe It's Dinner Time...

I once swallowed a worm whole. My three older brothers and I were all doing it. Pretty sure it was based on a dare.


I once ate cat food and dog food. Again with my brothers. Again, most likely based on a dare.



I once swallowed a live gold fish whole. Wasn’t based on a dare. More for shock value than anything.


I once cooked up and ate a very large grasshopper on a scout camp. Cause that’s what dumb brainless boys do on scout camps. I just remember the initial crunch and then the gooey inside. It was hard to swallow.



I once ate cow stomach. Well more than once actually. Everyone tells you that everyone else makes it wrong and you just have to try theirs—they make the best menudo! Don’t believe them.


I once ate seviche (raw- truly raw- fish marinated in lime juice). I had diarrhea and threw up for five days straight. I have never, ever, not ever, been that sick in my life.


I once ate the head of a cow. The whole head just sitting there at the center of the table. Eye balls, lips, face meat, tongue… the whole kit and caboodle. I wish I had thought to eat the eyes first… it just stared at me through the entire meal.


I once ate blood sausage. It was awful. I cannot stress that enough.


I once ate rattle snake. It was the complement to the blood sausage. It did not do its job.


I once ate pig brains (cesos). They were like salty oatmeal spread out on a tortilla. I don’t like oatmeal… and pig brains are just like salty oatmeal, so… ?



I never ate food with cat hair and cockroaches in it. The Nurse has though—that woman is crazy! There are just some things you shouldn't eat girl! I’m not bragging about any of this. I simply think it’s remarkable what we humans will ingest.
