5. Chicken served with eggs
I love chicken. I love eggs. I don't love chicken and eggs served together at the same time. Am I alone here, or do others feel that serving something dead at the beginning of life (sort of) and at the end of life just seems wrong? When I go to the Breakfast Klub, I always have to make a tough decision on whether I'm getting the chicken wings and waffles or a delicious omelet because, heaven knows, I can't have both at the same time.
4. Veal
Come here, little baby cow, I'm going to eat you. Let's be clear, this list isn't necessarily things that I refuse to eat, because veal is delicious. Veal cows are essentially the by-product of the dairy industry, since milk companies have little use for the male cows than their female milk "factories" give birth to, and thus, you get your tasty veal parm. Again, I love it, but doesn't it just seem wrong?
3. Foie Gras
Picture it: There you are, a peaceful little goose roaming around your free-range-world and snatch - Farmer Brown grabs you buy the neck and shoves a feeding tube down your gullet. Just know, little goose, you, sir, are about to become foie gras. Yep, that's the process, folks. While it isn't done that way worldwide, force-feeding in France to fatten up a goose or duck so that the liver is plump and extra fatty is almost law. I am personally not a fan of foie gras, but there are plenty of folks that are, and I plan to find every one of them and stuff a hose filled with food down their throats.
2. Candy cigarettes
Forget about the subtle advertising of big tobacco trying to produce artwork that appeals to youngsters -- why not just get kiddos to pretend they are actually smoking? This is one that doesn't just seem wrong; I am going to go out on a limb and say it is wrong. Contrary to popular belief, they have never been officially banned in the United States. I haven't seen any in stores for years, but if you are a hillbilly and you want to teach your kids to smoke, then grab a case or two.
1. Haggis
When reading the description of haggis, which includes stuff like a sheep heart, lungs and liver, why is it that the ingredient oatmeal grossed me out the most? But this isn't a list of "Top Gross Sounding Foods," this is one about stuff that seems wrong, and what could seem more wrong that stuffing an animal's innards inside its stomach? I'm sure this is the best the culinary wizards in Scotland could come up with; maybe Hannibal Lecter consulted on the recipe preparation. If you think the dish sounds wrong, though, consider what it would be like if Haggis was actually your name.
