Robert Pattinson Intoxication: Rob and Kristen- From Soup to Nuts

Normally, it is my friend Shawn "Bacon Candy" McKee who talks to you about disgusting foods. After all, he is the current editor of the Worst Foods newsletter.

Readers email him their "Hall of Shame" foods, such as deep-fried Twinkies and sugary butter balls. Sometimes Shawn is even brave enough to prepare these recipes and eat them on camera.

But with all due respect to the Worst Food fans out there, it doesn't take that much courage to eat a sizzling piece of bacon dipped in brown sugar. In order to find some entrees that can make even the most iron of stomachs turn cartwheels, you have to do a little globe-trotting.

Now, before I completely gross you out, I should point out that I have not actually sampled most of the items on this list. Perhaps the most adventurous thing I've eaten is Haggis. I must say, the idea of eating sheep guts (heart, liver and lungs) boiled in the animal's stomach for up to three hours did not originally appeal to me when I visited Scotland. However, after a few hours of tossing back pints in a Glasgow pub, I worked up enough courage to try this ummmm "delicacy." It wasn't bad, though I don't have a compelling desire to try it again anytime soon.

But Haggis is mild in comparison to many of the other entrees enjoyed around the world. Here is just a mere sampling of the disgusting dishes out there:

Sheep Head: At least in Scotland, they are smart enough to only eat the sheep's innards. In Iceland, you can order a full-figured sheep head, complete with the eyes and everything. Or, if you're only in the mood for a snack, some sheep's head jam should do the trick. What can I say but "ewe?!"

Bull Penis: As humorist Dave Barry is fond of saying, "I am not making this up." Believe it or not, the male cow's member is rumored to be an aphrodisiac in parts of China. And that's no bull!

Baalut: I know the egg has been hailed as both "incredible" and "edible," but this popular Filipino dish is a shell of a way to eat them. First, you take a fertilized duck or chicken egg. Then, you bury it in the ground for about a month. Finally, you dig it up and soft-boil it. Now, scoop the half-formed chick out with a spoon and scarf it down. No wonder they call it "the treat with feet."

Roasted Cicada Larvae: I know Greece has been hailed as the birthplace of modern logic, but eating the larvae of these winged bugs doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Even if the great Aristotle himself did once sing the praises of this tasty treat. Who knows? Maybe the famous philosopher was drunk at the time. After all, Monty Python did describe him as "a bugger for the bottle."

Drunken Shrimp: I'm all for having a few drinks and going out for sushi, but, in this case, it is the shrimp that have the benefit of getting drunk. In China, they will serve you a bunch of live shrimp swimming around in a bowl of rice wine. In fact, I've heard that many Chinese folks like to catch the critters with chopsticks and bite their heads off. Wow! What a waste of perfectly gonopod rice wine!

Maggot Cheese: Evidently people in Sardinia actually cover cheese in cheesecloth and leave it out so that flies will lay their eggs in it. Then, they wait for the aforementioned eggs to hatch. Finally, they spread the cheese mixture on a piece of bread and eat it - live maggots and all! Sounds like something Joe Rogan would have served up on Fear Factor.

Monkey Brains: I thought this was just a creative twist in the old Indiana Jones movies, but apparently people really do eat this stuff! In fact, Korean aficionados say the brains tatste best when eaten out of the open skull of a living monkey. The real question is: If you eat enough monkey brains, will you go ape shit?

Rocky Mountain Oysters: Well, people eat the bull's penis, so why not the testicles, too? The male cow's testicles, known as criadillas in Spain, are peeled, washed, rolled in flour and pepper and fried up in a pan. The problem is, I'm not sure if I have enough cajones to eat them! -
