What is the ickiest food you've eaten

Heard about this on CBC News yesterday so please don't shoot the messenger.

"An Icelandic micro-brewery has announced its new beer will be flavoured with smoked whales' testicles...

The Stedji brewery's Hvalur 2 beer is being sold for a limited period to mark the Icelandic midwinter month of Thorri, the Visir website reports. The testicles of fin whales - which are an endangered species - are cured "according to an old, Icelandic tradition" before being salted and smoked, with one being used per brewing. "We want to create a true Thorri atmosphere, and therefore we decided to use smoked testicles from fin whales for flavouring the beer," says Dagbjartur Ariliusson, a co-owner of the brewery. "We put a lot of effort into this and it's a long process."

Sheep shit is used as fuel for the smoker.

I can't imagine ever getting that thirsty.
