No. No I don't think so.

do people actually eat that stuff or is it just one of those things that are spoken of but never actually used?

"People" do indeed.

My dearly beloved, for example. Also my mother. But it is clearly the food of the devil... well, the condiment of the devil.

After many years of shunning this evil and unpleasant looking spread I - only this morning - against all my better judgment I might add, allowed myself to be persuaded to try it.

Erk.

It shall never pass these lips again!

I myself, was encouraged to try it ohhhhhh 5 or 6 months ago.

I quote bubster, "Erk."

I also add, on my own, "EEWWW ACK THHHPBBPP HURK BLECH EWWW!"

normally i am one to try anything at least once but upon viewing this stuff up close and personal i decided that this was one thing i was not going to try even once...from the sound of your reactions i was wise in my decision .

I'm reliably informed it's an 'acquired taste'.

As far as I'm concerned, they should send it back to wherever they acquired it from.

there is something wrong in my mind with foods you have to aquire a taste for....if they are that bad that you have to force yourself to eat it until it tastes good then maybe, just maybe it is something you really shouldn't be eating .

MMMmhmmmmm. Like fish eggs. Or goose liver.

Why, yes. Yes I do.

You like FISH EGGS????

*passes out*

i've seen these things set out for people to eat and have even witnessed people eating them though for the life of me i don't know why they do it
fish eggs....hhhhmmmm, guess someone has to eat them
AA

At the very least it stops us being overrun by fish...

Hmmm. Overswum, perhaps.

The VERY least.

I'm going to work in a wetsuit from now on. What if fish eggs become unpopular??
