10x deliciously disgusting #3

No matter how sophisticated we can sometimes be about food, we all have a soft spot for things that are disgusting and delicious at the same time. Read parts 1 and 2 here.

Seafood chocolate

Of course, you dutifully buy chocolate with a 70+% cocoa content, which you’ve had enough of after one square centimeter, or even worse: raw chocolate. But sometimes you just need to pop a soft, creamy chocolate seahorse into your mouth, end of story.

Huzaren salad

You have to eat it with that little plastic spoon, otherwise it doesn’t count.

HEMA hot dog

The way the tip of that sausage sticks out, somewhat obscenely, from that mysteriously hollowed-out bun: grossgrossgross. And yet… FavorFlav’s Sharon swears by it.

Filet Americain

The orange kind from the supermarket, okay—not secretly fancy-ass from the organic butcher.

Président Brie

No matter how long you leave it out of the fridge, nothing changes about the texture of this brie that probably already made waves on your parents’ party platter. Chewy, impossible to spread, at most draped in slices over your Melba (forever!) toast. Get fancy and pop a grape into your mouth with it.

Custard buns

How much soft custard and velvety, powdered-sugar-dusted cream pastry can you fit into your mouth in one bite? That is the question.

Creamed spinach

You know you’re also supposed to put slices of a hard-boiled egg on top. Ooh, and then with those fish sticks from part 1…

Canned tomato soup

No one is going to tell you today that you should simply throw 2 cans of peeled tomatoes, 1 can of water, 1 stock cube, a quarter pack of butter and a peeled onion cut into large chunks into a pan, then blend it smooth after boiling for forty minutes. No. You open that can, tear off a piece of white supermarket baguette with your teeth, and are happy.

Mona semolina pudding with redcurrant sauce

For after the tomato soup.

Berehap

Pushes the boundaries, defies description.
