There is a saying that there is nowt wasted on a pig except the grunt. The same thing applies to all animals as anything that isn't a prime cut is ground up and used in a meat product whether in reconstituted form or else in burgers or sausages so the only way you can be sure of not eating any of the nasty bits (or even the naughty bits) is to only buy the original joints and nothing processed at all.
I've had brain tikka.
Curry house in Brick Lane.
The guy came out with a mixed tikka platter.
"Chicken"
"Mmm"
"Lamb"
"Lovely"
"Fish"
"Great"
"Brain"
"....................what now?"
We dared each other to try it, it was 'ok'.
Don't get me wrong, I've probably eaten enough lips and arseholes to last me a lifetime but that was just shocking as it was unexpected. I know about burgers and the like but at least they're mostly well presented, although I would draw the line at 50 burgers for a quid type foods.
My food nightmare is Branston Pickle, I have a completely irrational hatred of this evil brown lumpy goop, just the sight of a jar turns my stomach, let alone the stench of it.
I can hardly put into words just how much I hate it, I gagged twice while I typed that last sentence.
When it came on the news a few years ago that the pickle factory had burnt down, I cheered.
Eggs. And anything with egg in it.
Any meat made from mechanically recovered sludge, except milano salami.
Molluscs, ready meals, microwave burgers, tinned meals/meats, casu marzu, pork pies, rice pudding, salmon, squeezy cheese, crab, brussel sprouts, cabbage, pork scratching, marmalade, mushroom sauce, apple sauce, custard, rhubarb, horseradish, bananas, corned beef, and quite a lot more. I can't get these things anywhere near my mouth without my gag reflex kicking in.

I had a jar of Branston Pickle once that when I opened it, it moved. There was some sort of larvae squirming around near the surface of the stuff data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Food nightmare, eh?
How about a nice piece of fried sirloin that accidentally fell onto a dirty floor? Would you pick it up and eat it, regardless, because it cost so much?
Oh wait, that happened to me yesterday and I did just that. A bit icky, yes, but I was damned if I was gonna chuck it in the bin just like that.
Well that's going to replace the zombie clowns in my nightmare tonight data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7.
