, when the gas station hot dog has seemingly been the most delicious thing I had ever eaten.

You must believe that the cheese used on most "authentic" Mexican food in the US, "Jack" is Mexican, simply because some of it once came from Monterrey. I can find you a lot of authentic Mexican food not made with Queso Asadero, Cotija or Fresco, rarely available (even on a limited basis ) in Colorado. Actually, domestic "Cheddar" tastes more like some Mexican cheeses than does the Jack cheese so often used instead of orange Cheddar.
I will admit that Velveeta brought about the invention of "Chile con Queso", not Mexican at all, but that El Mat, El Toro, Joe Garcia's, La Fonda anda few others used Cheddar with no loss of "Authentico". After all, both owners and cooks shared the heritage. For the "authentic" alternative to Chile con Queso, "Queso Flameado", neither Cheddar or Jack works well.

Chitterlings are revolting upon first smell, no need to look. I am stupid enough to have ignored the smell and look, and let me tell you that the taste is appropriately nasty.
Dog, however, is not revolting. It is a lean, red meat that is quite tasty on the grill.

Balut is not rotten. It is fertilized duck egg. And actually doesn't taste that bad.. just don't look at what you eat. Not sure if it has anything to do with Vietnam, but in Chicago Vietnam town they seill it as 'baloot', which is a filipino name for it.

I love Chinese food (the real one, served in China), but once they brought a huge bowl in the middle of a table. In the bowl there was some type of soup... and in the soup there were those huge boiled, stringy geese wings. That - to me - was nasty looking... never tried to taste it.
