GUESS THAT YUCKY THING giveaway!!!!


EDIT!! This giveaway is closed!!!!! We have a winner :). Thanks for participating!!! Feel free to just be grossed out in peace now.



Okay, folks. I was inspired by something I ate recently to have a "guess that yucky thing" post. I believe this yucky thing looks even YUCKIER in this photo than it did in real life!! Proud of my nasty phone cam skillz!

The first person to correctly Guess the Yucky Thing will win a very small, token, mystery package from me, including non-yucky items like delightful candies and biscuits and perhaps a commemorative "I eat yucky stuff" button.

The only hints I will give you: my mom made me eat it, and she said, "It's good for your skin and your hormones." !!! That could be a lot of things in the world of Chinese cooking, but there's your only hint. Okay, one more hint. What looks to me like a limb/arm/hand... is not.

Also, I would say that people in my family are disqualified from the giveaway. They probably just ate this, too.

Next post: my dad emails me, tells me I was a fat baby, makes a suggestion for a Yucky Stuff entry, and buys the item for me as well!

  3. It DOES look really fetal!!!!! No, not eel.

    I am beginning to think this will be hard. I wouldn't have even known what it was from a photo, or even eating it for that matter...!

  8. Oh, not a geoduck, either! But that's actually a really good guess. It has that sort of tube-y shape!

  15. oooh a couple people got it! but Summer-Maria got it first :). It was the fish bladder, also called fish maw or air bladder. It's the air bladder that, among other things, allows the fish to control its buoyancy!
