f(x) leader Victoria shared her unique and shocking love for quirky and exotic foods.
On the July 11th episode of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘, Victoria began, “I like Korean dwenjang (soybean paste) soup as well as CheongGukJang (often nicknamed ‘dead body soup’ for it’s odor’).”
“I even eat pig intestines and hongeo (fermented skate),” she said, shocking the MCs.
2PM‘s Nichkhun who was another guest on the show, however, had a bit of a weaker stomach. “I can’t eat things like CheongGukJang and pig intestines,” he said.
Robert Holley, a Westerner who well-adapted himself to Korean culture long ago was able to relate with Victoria. “Fermented Skate is delicious when wrapped,” he said. “The smell isn’t great, but it cures your cold right away.”
Victoria was then asked if she also eats chicken feet, and she gave yet another shocking response. “I actually love chicken brains,” she said. “There’s not much quantity, but it tastes like delectable tofu. I also like fish eyes and cow tongue.”

Date: 2012-07-11 09:24 pm (UTC)that is so fucking gross omg. i used to eat cow tongue as a kid cause my mom would make it but suddenly i stopped liking it and idk how i was ever able to eat it tbh.
also chicken brains sound disgusting /: and just thinking of the nasty smell of fermented skate gives me chills, i dont like fish/seafood that much to begin with but skate is something i could never ever try again in my life. she has a really strong stomach to be able to eat all that though

Date: 2012-07-11 10:55 pm (UTC)idk, people in different cultures/countries/even neighborhoods eat different things. We might think it is gross or odd but many people think it is odd we(non vegetarians) eat cows and shrimp. It really isn't anyone's place to judge.
Also what is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten? For me it was Jellyfish, very crunchy and no taste.
