I mean, I grew up on black pudding (a kind of sausage made with pigs blood that you fry), bacon, cheese, burgers, mushrooms, oxtail soup, Curry’s, cockles (a shellfish that is boiled and served with vinegar), faggots (meatballs made from lamb or pig’s liver, onions and a cereal binder), laverbread (basically seaweed), lamb and beef steaks and so on and so forth. Yet seriously, who ever decided that half this stuff was eatable, and lets face it cheese had to be an accident. I mean who was the first person to consume gone off, fermented, lumpy (possibly moldy/maggoty) milk? And who ever thought to stick blood in a sausage or boil up sea creatures or throw a load of left over meat parts together in a lump with gravy? More than likely people who were just desperate, whether for money or food, so I fail to see why many of the foods on this list are commended my most western societies =)

Many of the thing’s I have eaten would cause controversy in many countries I’m sure. Especially to Hindus and Muslims as Britain’s consume more beef and pork then almost any other meat.

The only things I disagree with consuming on this list are the live icefish (I just think it’s cruel to digest something alive), and the whales and dolphins. But I must point out it has nothing to do with how beautiful or intelligent they are as many others use as an objection. It is merely the way in which they are slaughtered that I disagree with, there is never a clean kill, and most bleed to death or die of pain and shock. Which just seems cruel to me. Other than that a few years ago I’d've been willing to give most of this a try =D
