TIMESTAMPS:
0:33 Koolickles – The Red Pickles of Mississippi Delta
1:30 Crispy Snoots of St. Louis
2:52 Burgoo of Kentucky
4:34 Pemmican from Midwest and Mountain West
6:02 Jars of Pickled Pigs’ Feet of The South
7:15 Scrapple - All Pig’s Scraps in Pennsylvania Dutch
8:20 Livermush - North Carolina’s Favorite
9:46 Akutaq – The Eskimo Ice Cream (Alaska)
11:07 Rocky Mountain Oysters
12:35 Wild Rice Burger - Minnesota

SUMMARIES:
- The combination of sweet and sour flavors in a dish is actually mouth-watering, but a kool-aid and pickles combo is another story. This concoction sounds like the creation of a grade school student trying to one-up the neighbor kid’s lemonade stand.
- Crispy might be one of everyone’s favorite food textures, but the snout is definitely one of the grossest parts of a pig. So how did crispy snoots come to be? Did someone grill a whole pig and realize that the snout, of all parts, is the best part? You see, a crispy snoot is exactly what it sounds like.
- Burgoo is a vegetable and meat stew specialty of Kentucky. But it has another atrocious name – roadkill soup. This is because animals that were accidentally hit by vehicles (and found alongside the road).
- While this food may be good for you, it’s the ratio of ingredients, wild game meat and animal fat, as one reason for its appearance on this list. If you ever wanted to know the origin of the high-energy food bar, this might be the answer.
- Pickled Pigs’ Feet is a questionable food item that looks like it came out of a mortician’s laboratory. Looks aside, the delicacy is said to be highly nutritious. It is high in protein and low in fat.
- Scrapple sounds like a nasty insult you would say to somebody you hate but it is actually a traditional dish native to the Pennsylvania Dutch. It’s also known as pork mush. All of the odds and ends - as in literal scraps of pig.
- Livermush is North Carolina’s very own version of scrapple. The difference is while scrapple is made out of pig part scraps, it rarely contains any liver and uses less of the cornmeal mixture.
- You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream. That is if this all-time favorite dessert is made from cream, sugar, milk, and maybe a mix of fruits and other sweet flavors. And that’s where the list of ingredients should probably end.
- First, oysters don’t exist in the Rocky Mountains, and second, the name sounds like a bad band name from a Sponge Bob episode. Well the name may be deceiving because Rocky Mountain Oysters are actually a dish made of…wait for it... bull testicles.
- Just from the name, the Wild Rice Burger sounds like some sort of exotic food. Something that not only piques your interest but also fills your stomach. But wait, rice and burger? That doesn’t sound right. That’s double the carbs isn’t it?

Joking or not, the last thing we need is people saying things should be banned. In today's atmosphere, it could actually happen.

[garrettmineo]

I think that narrow minds should be banned not foods.

[anthonypang]

Honestly i see nothing wrong with any of these listed items

Its in fact respect for the animal by not wasting, the makers of this video are just spoiled brats

Do they even know whats in "normal" food?

[johnfairweather]

My second wife was cooking pork hocks one day and my younger son asked her what she was cooking for supper. She said, “Pork hocks”. He misheard her and thought she said, “Pork c*cks.” I will never forget the look on his face.

[JDT]

Just because its unpopular in most places, doesn't mean it should be banned.

[gustavovm]

A Starbucks sugar bomb is more dangerous for you than most of the stuff on this list.

[patrickbrinker]

As someone who regular cooks burgoo and has been to burgoofests and events I was somewhat befuddled by the outright lie you proclaimed when discribing it and it's ingredients. Burgoo doesn't contain roadkill. It's mainly made of chicken beef and pork and the most exotic recipes call for game animals such as squirrel, rabbit, and deer. I am completely befuddled why you would make such a wild and incorrect lie like you did in this "video". The only reason you could possibly lie about that and the way you did was to demean people in Kentucky.

[joshwhipkey]

Kool-aid and pickles sounds like one of my wife's pregnancy cravings

[crevthabeing]

This video just bashed a lot of US cultures (majority being the south)

[GFSLombardo]

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT-DO NOT EAT IT (not rocket science 101)

[c.s.]

What justifies this smug and provincial outlook on regional food? I'm willing to bet that your panel of 'experts' never traveled outside the state of California or the island of Manhattan.

[esthermedina]

Unjust criticism of beloved regional foods..for shame BabbleTop

[AAdamWalker]

Hang on, just because something is seen as odd why should that mean it should be banned to avoid upsetting city dwellers?


I mean only one dish on this list, Burgoo, has any real reason (food poisoning relating to roadkill) to be banned from sale... Otherwise we might as well just ban 99% of food in America because there will always be someone who thinks "eww"

[shandean]

I’m from Louisville, Ky (born and raised) and burgoo is not made from roadkill. Only the most backwoods, scary movie Wrong Turn, blue-skinned hillbilly would consider making it from roadkill. It’s normally made from mutton, or old lamb that lived past the spring. Look up Kentucky Hot Browns and you’ll fall in love. It’s yummy and a great way to use up turkey leftovers.

[cheezbunni]

We’re talking about banning food but honestly I just want them to legalize Kinder Eggs

[lquidbevridge]

Scrapple is so good. Banning it won't happen.

"I don't like a food, so it should be banned." Bruh. You should try it before you disregard it.

[YouTookMyAccountName]

"The taste is similar to a ham in vinegar" ....it literally is ham in vinegar

[casonjuni]

I like how most of these are just “oh it should be banned because of how it looks even though it’s really healthy!” These guys should try to make decent reasons as to why traditional food should be banned.

[Cypresssina]

Foods that should be banned are things that are dangerous to eat, terrible for the environment, or cruel (shark fin). Not things that are cultural or unusual.

[Shockeye]

Don't talk shit about Scrapple! I love it!
