Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s staff cut off a USA Today interview question about the grossest food he has ever eaten, moments after he admitted eating “stuff I find on the street.”
“…I will literally eat anything… I don’t have a gag reflex,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Chambers. “When I travel, I’ll eat, you know, even stuff I find on the street, you know, street vendors, cooking.”
“Like, is there stuff that you’ve eaten that people are like, wow. You ate that,” Chambers asked.
“You mean, like, something gross? Or?” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replied.
“Yes. Maybe gross for others. Yeah. Not for you,” Chambers said.
“I’m getting a signal not to answer that question,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, shutting down the line of questioning.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I was in Taiwan. It did smell so bad while the vendor was still out of sight that I thought my friend was pranking me by leading me to an open sewer or something.
Oh yeah, it still smells terrible but for some reason the Changsha variety (it’s kind of fried and black) is delicious. They add some broth and chopped garlic and chili peppers on top.
The one I had was actually pretty tasty, but it tasted like ordinary (but well made) fried tofu. I suppose I should be grateful that it didn’t taste the way it smelled, but I admit I was a little disappointed.
