Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What’s one food that you cannot understand why people enjoy?
balut

Growing up eating balut, its hard to convince anyone else to eat it.

I mean, hirap din idescribe e.

Anchovies on pizza. I cannot.
One anchovy sa homemade na salad sauce is really really good tho.

Fun fact: i ate ensaymada once without knowing it was wayy past its edible date.

Still alive (and a dumbass).

I don’t understand why people enjoy eating this. And, for the love of good food, don’t watch this while eating/planning to eat.

It’s not as bad as some other food I’ve seen, but more on genuinely curious, as the video would say it is the world’s most dangerous

Cheese

This Rare Cheese Is Infested With Live Maggots

that casu marzu kinda interesting

Methinks the appeal of that cheese (outside its hometown) is purely for novelty. So you can hang it on your wall like a kill.

Kinda like how people try to fish for Salema porgy just to experience the infamous high.

Salema porgy - Wikipedia

TIL people can get high on fish. I do see the appeal for novelty. But to have casu marzu as a staple? Aw hell naw. I’ve seen too many films and IRL maggots to disassociate it from culinary nirvana.

Then again, if this was a one time dare, I’d probably say aye. LOL

Cheesecake. Sorry pero kapag nakain ako Nyan, pakiramdam ko kumakain ako ng kasalanan

buro/burong isda :(

it literally looks and tastes like vomit :(

Same. It smells like vomit too. I don’t get it.
