You've heard of warm cookies,
but what about worm cookies?
These are the top 10 most disgusting foods
from your favorite middle grade books.
Crowfood, from Warriors by Erin Hunter.
Crowfood is spoiled food
covered in maggots.
It's seen as a bad omen, and it always
gives the warrior cats belly aches.
Cemetery Soup from More Scary Stories
to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz.
Cemetery Soup consists of water,
carrots, green beans, corn, barley,
onions, potatoes, a snitch of beef, salt
and pepper, and a bone from the cemetery.
Legend has it that the ghost will
come demanding their bone back,
once the soup has simmered.
Parsley Soda, from A Series of
Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
Parsley soda is just
parsley in plain club soda.
It may be unpleasant to taste,
but as Esme Squalor puts it,
it's not delicious but it is in.
Miss Mush's Porridge from
Wayside School by Louis Sachar.
With Miss Mush's ability to both overcook
and undercook a meal, her specialty
is porridge, which is actually actually
nothing more than a bowl of mud.
Nekawa, from Septimus Heap by Angie Sage.
This drink is made by pouring
a muddy brown liquid with tendrils
of floating mold in a glass and
topping it off with a raw egg.
While it tastes disgusting,
it is said to help settle nerves.
Squiggly spaghetti from
The Twits by Roald Dahl.
Made up mostly of spaghetti, tomato sauce,
and cheese, this dish's special ingredient
is worms, making it squishy with a nasty,
bitter taste.
Cockroach clusters from
Harry Potter by JK Rowling.
Looking alarmingly similar to peanuts,
these sweets are actually made of
cockroaches, making them the perfect
treat for bringing friends.
Chocolate chip worm cookies
from Superfudge by Judy Blume.
Mrs. Molder grinds up worms for
her special worm cookies,
adding it to the flour for
an extra vitamin boost.
With plenty of chocolate chips,
you can barely taste the worms.
Fudge even asks for seconds.
Chocolate cake from Matilda by Roald Dahl.
This isn't a normal chocolate cake,
it's made with actual blood, sweat,
and tears from the chef.
That doesn't stop Bruce from polishing
the whole thing off in a victory against
the Trunchbull.
Cocoa beetles,
from Coraline by Neil Gaiman.
Coraline's other mothers
snacks on some black beetles,
gently removing their legs
before eating their bodies.
They're presented like
a box of chocolates, but
the pretty presentation doesn't
make them any less disgusting.
