6 Most Sadistic Dishes (warning: it's graphic and we don't have spoiler tags)

[Kazimiera]

6. Ortolan

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00644/news-graphics-2007-_644874a.jpg

Origin: France

What's so Bad About it?

An ortolan bird is about six inches long and weighs just four ounces. It's olive green and yellow, with a touch of ruby here and there. Most people who look at them immediately want to keep ortolans as pets and give them funny un-bird like names, such as Jerry or Ginger. Others want to torture and drown them for gluttonous needs of gourmets everywhere.

http://yesanotherfoodblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/img_0031.jpg


Wait, What?

The recipe for ortolan is this: Capture the bird in the wild, blind it using a pair of pincers, stick it in a tight cage so it can't move, keep it on a diet of millet, grapes and figs until it reaches two to four times its normal size, and then drown it in a snifter of Armagnac. We are still undecided if the last part makes this whole dish gruesome or totally bleeping sweet.

It Gets Worse:-

The secret to enjoying Ortolan is in the way you eat it. After roasting the bird for six to eight minutes, you cover your face with a napkin, place the whole bird inside your mouth, with only it's head and beak sticking out... and bite down.

The head falls into the napkin, while you slowly bite through Jerry's tiny bones, tiny muscles and even tinier innards. The finale comes when you bite through its lungs and stomach, releasing pockets of brandy into your mouth.
The covering your face with a napkin part is said to have been started by a priest, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who did it to hide his gluttony from God. Though we'd think it probably also kept him from getting kicked out of multiple restaurants.


5. Feng Gan Ji

Origin: Tibet/China

http://blackfiles.mywapblog.com/files/feng.jpg

What's so Bad About it?

Feng Gan Ji literally means "wind dried chicken," which sounds like a new eco-hippy marketing campaign devised by the Colonel. To prepare this dish, you basically need four things: A chicken, a sharp knife, an exceptionally well skilled chef and a heart as black and cold as the most lifeless corners of outer space.

Wait, What?

Remember that scene in The Dark Knight where it turned out the Joker sewed a bomb inside his henchman's stomach? Feng Gan Ji is quite similar to it, only instead of a bomb the chef uses marinade, spices, herbs and whatever culinary secret ingredients he might have picked up at the Lucifer Gastronomical University (located in the seventh circle of Hell). He does all that, aptly upstaging the Joker (which is a feat in itself), after cutting open the still-alive chicken, removing its intestines and sewing it back up. The chicken is then strung upside down to dry in the wind.

What? It can't even be windy in that room. This chef must be new.

It Gets Worse:-

The chickens usually enjoy a few agonizing seconds of consciousness after the ordeal, dangling on the string, clucking away in the wind, screaming "For the love of God, why are you doing this to us?!" as they are forced to see hundreds of their fellow chickens subjected to the same torture. And when the bird clucks its final "cluck" the last thing it will see will be its mangled and tortured brothers and sisters. Anyone else hungry?


4. Grilled Unborn Lamb

First, an entire pregnant female goat is butchered and thrown onto a charcoal fire to burn until it turns a golden brown color. When it is entirely baked, the cook will then cut through its abdomen to take out the cooked, unborn lamb from inside its mother’s body. It is said that in this manner, the softness of the young lamb can offer the diner an especially pleasing taste.

3. A Live Monkey's Brain

The following dish is actually quite a murderous scene, and the ensuing feast can be quite gruesome. A captured monkey is first forcibly pulled to the dining table. The monkey is tightly held with hoops over its hands and legs. One of the diners uses a hammer to knock hard enough to actually create a hole in the live monkey’s head. Its cracked skull opens from its head and the diners use a stick of iron rod to extract the monkey’s brain. The monkey usually screams terribly before dying near the table.
Some of the more aggressive and “hungry” diners may actually use their spoons to scrape through the bloody monkey’s brain, eating in a greedy manner as though they have not eaten in a long time. The diners continue to eat the raw brain completely, often with their fingers and hands covered with smelly blood. Others may prefer to dip the raw brain into a traditional herb soup in order to add to the aroma while eating.

2. Roasted Duck Legs

http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/03/11/123947_40.jpg

Here is another popular food that begins with a live animal. A live duck is placed on a slightly hot frying pan. Prior to this, an appropriate amount of seasonings is rubbed all over the duck’s body. Due to the heat of the hot-plate, the duck will obviously try to make every attempt to get off of the hot metal, and from time to time, it will try to jump out of the pan.
Finally, the legs will become fully roasted, while its body is still actually alive. The cook will then cut off the duck’s legs for them to be placed on a plate to be ready to serve hot to the diner. The remaining part of the duck is then put in the freezer for other future uses.


1 Baby Herbal Soup: The Most Horrifying, Cruel and Disgusting Delicacy Ever

This is an even more horrid nightmare when people are eating human foetuses or preborn babies for a nutritional value and to boost intimate power, overall health and stamina. Now, though, the world is encouraging and at times tolerating with abortion issues and ignorance which has allowed the selling of and consumption of human foetuses. What on earth is going on in this world?

There is a growing trend of eating humans in a town located in the Southern province of Canton (Guangdong), China. This delicacy is called “Spare Rib Soup” in the local jargon and it is said to be a nutritional food to help boost stamina, improve overall health while enhancing intimate performance (potency). Allegedly, this human foetus dish is claimed to gain popularity in Shenzhen, China.


I am not going to post a picture of this on the forum. This is the source from which I got this article. And for those who want to see this: http://www.nairaland.com/1160580/most-sadistic-dishes-around-world

The human fetus is the most disgusting. I couldn't post a photo on the forum because it is vile, but the link is there.

Half of the fish is deep fried while it is still alive, while the other half of it remains unfried and continues moving while you eat it.

Sick Sick Sick. :puke: I don't trust anything made in China and our stupid labels won't say where each ingredient comes from!

[SkyBurn]

Oh Kazi, you got back onto that side of the internet again, huh? :p

[Aredhel]

This is disgusting, animals don't deserve that treatment we complain of violence but we aren't able to respect animals.

Why people like to torture animals?

I bet the real reason for the cloth is because no civilized person could eat that while looking at it. Cowards.

If I were into that sort of thing, I'd eat it without the cloth, and wash it down with one of these beers (http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article/341).

i'm an animal lover (even the ugly ones, i released a spider from my house once :P) and i still eat meat so my uber-feministveganwhatever friends always call me out, but those are some disgusting images. personally, when i eat meat i always avoid the really cruel stuff (so like veal, baby whatever, foie gras or w.e its called) although any farmed animal is 90% of the times raised in a cruel environment so obviously im not helping anything.

anyways yeah ramble aside, those images are horrifying :( i didn't click the link (thank goodness you didn't post the image!!!)

[rhiannon]

Oh Gawd Kaz, you've been over to anthroscape haven't ya lol. One of their more illustrious posters just put this up tonight....I fucking died. Thank you for sparing us some of the more *ahem....graphic* photographs.

Humans are sick, depraved fucks. I don't even know how to begin to say how despicable these sorts of *dishes* are.:puke:

I found this completely by accident and then made the thread. I very rarely go to Anthroscape.

But on the topic of the baby soup, I have done some research. (Yes, me and the dark side of the internet.)

Apparently these images have been around for quite some time and are part of a performance art piece by Zhu Yu entitled "Eating People". There is some contention of whether this is a hoax or not. Some say that it's a hoax and made up of meat for the performance, whilst others say that he actually did use a dead baby and he was quoted saying that he ate it "for art's sake".

According to Mr Zhu Yu:
In response to the public reaction, Mr. Yu stated, "No religion forbids cannibalism. Nor can I find any law which prevents us from eating people. I took advantage of the space between morality and the law and based my work on it". Yu has claimed that he used an actual fetus which was stolen from a medical school.

[alfieb]

I don't believe in capital punishment, but I do believe in justice. Anyone who eats human beings should be sentenced to live in prison for the rest of their lives and punished in some terrible fashion by the other inmates and the guards.

Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen, as crazy and deranged people are usually treated with fear and respect in prison.

I'm not personally the type to get involved if someone abuses a child, but if they're abusing an animal, that goes out the window. I know, it's fucked up that I value dogs more than I value human beings, but eh.

I would bet my life that your opinion would change RAPIDLY if you ever became a parent.

I love animals though and feel a person engaging in sadistically cruel acts against them is every bit as worthy of the death penalty as any murderer.

[alfieb]

You're right, I'm happily [for the next few years, anyway] childless.

But I'm typical in that I don't give a shit about a tornado in Kansas or a monsoon in Sri Lanka. So, even if I had kids, I don't think I'd care if someone's mistreating their kid as much as if someone's beating/starving/forcing their dog to fight, etc.

[Graham]

All animal deaths, should be quick & limited pain. Halal is another Sadistic way.

You don't always have to be a parent to care. Most normal people without kids, would care also.

If you think that's sadistic, consider what the leaders of Shi'a Islam discuss in a nonchalant way.

Of course. I was speaking to him directly though and telling him that his own view on animals relative to children might change if he ever had kids of his own. Again...I love both animals and children...but if forced to choose, kids come first.

Kaz has no kids and she showed a high level of concern for them, above and beyond even animals, by refusing to post the last photo on this thread. So you are correct in that most normal people will still feel most empathy for children above all other creatures.

"Loverly grub" It all sounds so good, my mouth is watering an saluvating my god i never knew it was legal to eat unborn human fetus; I`ll get right on it; any pregnant women out there that want rid give me a shout::::::::::

[Myth]

I never knew about most of these foods except the Chinese fetus soup which is absolutely disgusting, people literally have to be sociopaths or lack a heart to want to eat a animal that has been tortured, I am not a vegetarian by any means, I do eat meat and I know most of the us slaughter houses are cruel enough to Animals which is why I prefer free range animals who are killed in more ethical ways before their meat is used.

You might be thinking of cage free which is a marketing term, free range generally should be true free range but you won't really find it in large grocery stores, more so farmers markets.

Let us not forget that dropping live lobsters into boiling water and scalding them to death is sadistic also. That is why I do not eat lobster.
Even animals which are slaughtered humanely are often mistreated before they are slaughtered. I have seen how calves are treated on a veal farm and vowed never to support such cruelty by buying or eating veal.

So, am I a vegetarian ? No. I have been a carnivore for too long. I tried a vegetarian diet some time ago and did not thrive on it. I guess that my body is too accustomed to animal protein.

for hot-dog , salami ? i don't know :( they're putting the chickens in mincer machine, alive :(

I don't eat lobsters either for this same reason.

I think that it's totally natural for humans to eat meat. We're carnivores and also omnivorous by nature. We have incisor teeth, and our ancient ancestors were hunter-gatherers.

Even a vegetarian or a vegan could be accused of being a plant-killer when eating vegetables, (and I bet they are happy to use anti-biotics if they have an illness in order to kill off bugs, and toilet bleach to kill millions of living germs, etc). :rolleyes:

There's no escaping from the fact that all living species eat something else which is living in order to survive. It's just the sad reality of how species survive in nature, including the eating of plants!

Anyway, I refuse to eat anything which has been cruelly treated prior to culling, as I think it's unnecessary. I only buy line-caught tuna and dolphin-friendly tuna. I won't eat lobster. I won't eat Kentucky Fried Cruelty, nor foie gras.

As a child, my family and also my grandparents raised me to eat pork, beef, turkey, lamb, and chicken. But after I was age 10, a relative of my father (who owned his own farm and my father was raised on a farm himself) had a heart attack. He survived, but he told my father that the doctors had told him that red meats were bad for the heart. My father then banned us from eating red meats due to health concerns about it, even though he used to eat it himself. He also banned foods in our home containing artificial additives and would teach us about E numbers in food from a reference book he bought about it.

I then stopped eating red meats, but I still enjoyed eating ham, bacon, sausage, occasionally as an adult. But I hardly eat it anymore.

I tried to be a vegetarian around the age of eleven as I thought it was cruel to eat meat. My parents respected my wishes, even though they still ate meat themselves, but I could only manage to refrain from eating meat for a few months. As an adult, I realise that it's natural for humans to eat meat and fish.

Once my family went to a winter fairground, and warm pork was being served fresh from a cooked pig on display at the fairground, and I bought some to eat which was served in a sandwich. My sister was horrified at seeing the pig itself and said, "How could you eat that?" (The sight of the pig itself repulsed her, but I replied at the time that it's fresher than the pork she eats from the supermarket!) :rolleyes:

But it's quite disgusting when we think about the things we're eating sometimes. I gave up beef a long time ago as I have a fear of CJD and also heart disease from beef.

I've eaten edible scorpions sold in London's department stores after reading they're good for the body. I didn't like they're texture much though, plus I found them tasteless.

Now I only eat fish, shell-fish (except lobster) and lean steamed chicken with the skin removed from it, (and never fried in oil) as a form of protein, but I no longer touch red meats for heath reasons.

I've switched from using cows and goats milk to buying soya milk for health reasons and also because it's quite disgusting when we think about drinking milk from a cow or a goat.

But I refuse to eat anything where livestock has been cruelly treated prior to culling.

I couldn't eat the things pictured in this thread though. It makes me feel sick to look at and think of it. It's an interesting thread, but monkies brains, etc, eugh.....:puke

I don't eat lobster either for that same reason! I was once on the premises when somebody brought in a lobster to our workplace (it was a 24hr Restaurant and this was late at night so no one paid attention to any health regulations about bringing food in from off the street) and they cooked it up in the back. The whole staff was ecstatic to be eating lobster.....but I couldn't bring myself to participate. I imagined the horror the poor thing went through coming fresh out of a bucket of cold ocean water only to be dumped into a pot of scalding hot, boiling water.

I have rarely had anything with lobster in it since that day.....which happened some 26 years ago.

Tried the Ortolan last time I've been to France. It's actually quite tasty. I wouldn't have eaten it if I knew how it was tortured and killed though, as I think animals destined to become food should die quickly and painlessly.
