A: None of those but the stink heads, balut and casu marzu is that bad. Those are fairly bad, but it does get worse.But the worst tasting food ever, and I mean ever is chou dou fu (said like cho do fu), or 臭豆腐. It means stinky tofu. Most typically, it consists of tofu which has been marinated in a brine made from fermented milk, vegetables, and meat for several months. The brine often includes dried shrimp, amaranth greens, mustard greens, bamboo shoots, and Chinese herbs.From a distance, the odor of stinky tofu is said to resemble that of rotten garbage or manure, even by its enthusiasts. The taste has even been compared to rotten meat. It is said the more it smells, the ‘better’ its “flavor” is.Stinky tofu is the unofficial national snack food of Taiwan and is widely loved. It is very commonly served on roadside stands and in night markets. It is usually served deep fried, grilled, or added into a Sichuan mala soup base with solid geese blood.A goose blood and garbage tofu soup.Now you think I’m kidding , but my friend from Taiwan tried to get me to eat this. I’m a hero when it comes to food. This stuff was so revolting, I could not even swallow it when I held my breath.

Look for items on the menu with no English translation.Anthony Bourdain on his show ate unwashed warthog rectum containing feces in Namibia. He said along with fermented shark he had in Iceland are the worst foods he has ever eaten, and he eats a lot of strange things on his show.
