My son's 5th grade class is having a "Lock Down Party" for their
"Graduation". One of the festivities they will have is a Fear Factor
game where they have to spin an arrow and eat what was chosen. Lucky
for me, I get to work in that booth! Hoping you will have some
disgusting ideas to help aide and abet! Here are some ideas I have;
Red juice with a little gelatin added to make it look like blood
chocolate pate a choux piped to look like turds
oysters
cat food (smashed vienna sausages)
sardines
pickled pig's feet
balut
durian
escargot
herring in sour cream sauce
I am really looking forward to this- any ideas are truly appreciated!

Strained Eyeballs

6 hard boiled eggs
6 oz Whipped cream cheese
7 oz Green olives -- with pimientos
Red food coloring

Peel eggs cut in half lengthwise. Remove the discard yolks. Fill the
holes with cream cheese. Press an olive into each cream cheese
eyeball, pimiento facing up, for an eerie green iris and startling red
pupil! For a final touch, dip the tip of a toothpick in red food
coloring and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese.

Do you have a Japanese food store anywhere nearby?
A good one may have, in their snack food section,
little dried crabs glazed with a flavoring coating.
You get a whole bunch of them, maybe a dozen, in
a bag. More like an envelope, with a thin plastic
stiffening tray, as I recall. It's a dramatic
presentation, because they have their little
pincers and legs which makes them look more
nasty.

I bought them once to include as a sort of gag
in the snack bowl I prepared for a meeting at
work. A couple guys ate them, and said they
were awful. One guy said it was the nastiest
thing he'd ever eaten.

Great idea- thanks! I have also seen canned dried worms in some kind
of sauce which should go over well! I'm just hoping that no one will
have the kahunas to eat the balut as I'd surely barf!!!

Merryb,

I bet all the kids will develop an allergy for lots of the stuff. You should
ask anyway.

You should make a popular dish or two. It might make them more willing to
play?

I'm curious if there will be prizes- that would be incentive to do it!

These might be fun too if the pasta is colored appropriately:

Try coloring the noodles with squid ink.

Stewed chicken feet could be fun too.

Ah, squid! Of course!

Make boiled and vinegared squid or octopus.
Maybe just include the tentacles, so they
don't have an option to eat a piece of mantle
which doesn't have any suckers on it. They
have to eat a piece with suckers.

If you have an Asian food store nearby,
their meat department might carry pre-made
vinegared octopus made in the Japanese style.
(It's very good.)

It could be fun, but I might worry just a little about actually making
ten-year olds fearful. I'm thinking that balut, specifically, could
gross some of them out. -aem

Not even close. In the Netherlands they eat rotten fish on a stick. In
Iceland, the delicacy is rotten shark meat. Lutefisk is just soaked in
lye. No bacteria need apply.

Would love to know what that is called. Never encountered it in the
Netherlands.

In Sweden they eat surstromming, canned herring that has
fermented in the
can so the can bulges like a football. I've luckily never
been around when it
was served and most of the wives of my acquaintance won't
let it be opened
anywhere near the house, the scent is so horrible.

It's also illegal to carry on a can of it onto a plane in
the event the can ruptures.

Whole sardines (so they can see the face!)
Any liver
Peeled grapes, warm
Chicken feet
Chicken hearts (they look like hearts!)
And my favourite: Tootsie rolls, softened and rolled into turd shape, rolled
in chopped nuts, placed in a kitty litter box (clean!) layered with more
chopped nuts.

Sounds like your son goes to a very fun school!

Blodpudding. It looks like chocolate, but it's really congealed pig's
blood. (I found this out by accident when I was 12 years old after
seeing it in a fridge and taking a bite. BIG MISTAKE!)

It's funny that many of your 'disgusting' items are things I've eaten
and liked since childhood: oysters, sardines, pickled pig's feet,
escargot and herring in sour cream sauce. OTOH tinned vienna sausages
are really nasty LOL. Skip the balut though; that's really too much. And
only one small bite of anything.

Anyone got a brain mould for gelatine? That's always cool.
Cooked smelt or whitebait; they usually have the heads still on.
Pizza with something weird on it, like baked beans.
Cake dyed a strange colour...blue or purple, with black icing on it.
Gelatine mould (strange colour) with tiny fakey bacon bits (or some
other foods) in it.
Can you get blue potatoes where you are? Those look weird to the
uninitiated.
Pasta or potatoes cooked with blue or black food colouring.
Weirdly coloured smoothies with cooked tapioca pearls (they come in
colours too).

Could go on but won't

But it's Fear Factor. Bring out the balut in the final round.

I've eaten fried grasshoppers. They aren't bad. Not sure where you'd
buy that kind of stuff anymore. Back in the day, you could get
rattlesnake meat in a can. I think that's the way grasshoppers came
too.

Front or back lawn? Little beasties are nimble but I got enough for a
taste one summer day. Rather bland I though.

I remember them as pretty good, crunchy and salty. The taste (as I

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Nothing's wrong with it, but I know it would sufficiently ick out the
fifth graders at my school.

Ok. It's just that my 4 and 6 year old nephews eat it all the time as
Sushi. :-) They love Sushi so much, I'm considering trying to find (or
re-purchase) the Sushi mats and making it a project to make some next
time I babysit...

I'd just have to make some good sticky rice!

My son's best friends love and even make sushi- they're 11. They
brought us some they had made one evening, & I was really impressed-
they did a beautiful job!

I beg your pardon! What's gross about that?

Cellophane noodles are a lot grosser than nori,
if you've never seen either one before. And if the
noodles were cut short, so the length-to-diameter
ratio would be about right for a worm. And
maybe some blueberry juice to dye one end black.
And they were served on an apple that had
a bunch of holes in it. You could use a bamboo
skewer to make holes, but that would make straight
holes. A piece of a wire clotheshanger, bent into
curve, could be used to make more realistic curved
holes.

The first two (above) are hoky. The ones below are all great. For
the "cat food" you should get empty cans of cat food and have them
somewhere visible.
