Of all categories of food, meats -- and especially exotic meats -- may be what get the most people gagging. Who ever heard of anyone getting grossed out by fruit?

Still, for the meat hearty, you can find almost any kind of animal in meat form on the Internet, and there are so many ways for it to go wrong. Let's take a look at some of those ways, and we'll all learn a little something in the end. We, for example, learned to never, ever do an Internet search for "gross meat."

Exotic Meats

    Llama: You may have never been to a llama's natural habitat, but now you can chow down on one without leaving the comfort of home, through the magic of the Internets and its exotic meat shoppes. Uhyay?

    Pork Brains in Milk Gravy: They say that of all the common meats, pork tastes the most like human flesh. ("They" = "cannibals.") Does that make pork brains a delicacy for zombies? We asked a zombie, who answered, "BRAAAIIIINS." (Translation: "Yes indeed.")

    Python Fillets: Another one of the "exotic meats"available online, so that you can say you tried it and it tasted like chicken.

    Canned Reindeer: Now the loveable reindeer of Christmastime lore, available in chunked format in a can! Just don't leave this out for Santa, mmkay?

    Roast Beef Spread: To all the folks lamenting, "If only cow flesh were more spreadable," an announcement: Your wish has been granted. YOU'RE WELCOME!

    Yak Jerky: Thanks to today's jerky technology, you can walk around with a little piece of a yak in your pocket. It can be kind of like a little edible pet.

    Chicken in a Can: Often it's not the product but the delivery and packaging that's extra disturbing. As in, how exactly does a whole chicken fit in a can of this size?

    Cracker Bologna: Does this mean you are offically a cracker if you eat it? Or do only crackers eat bologna anyway? Which came first, the cracker label, or the bologna- eating?

    Frankfurter Delight: A cherry gelatin mold with hot dogs. What else needs to be said, other than BLEEAAARGH.

    Head Cheese: This is a common deli item, but it has never failed to disgust me. Who does the publicity for head cheese? Time to rethink the branding! I bet the product would be a lot more popular if it didn't sound like something that oozed out of the ear of a terribly injured accident victim.
