Deep fried candy bars would probably be it, but that doesn't even come close to the gut-renchingness of surstromming - at least not in theory.
At least it smells good before you eat it. I can't comment on the taste, as I don't really eat much in the way of fried stuff. Hell, I'm practically a heretic down here, because I've never had a funnel cake.

I saw Andrew Zimmern try it on Bizzare Foods. I think the only other thing I have seen him try that you could tell he was disgusted by was durian fruit.[DOUBLEPOST=1366940932][/DOUBLEPOST]
Spam! It's vile.
I LIKE Spam... mmmm.... fried Spam....
Deep fried chocolate bars are delicious. You shut your whore mouth.
I mean.... I think you are mistaken and perhaps they deserve a second chance
...officer.
Dude, all I know is that regular fried stuff, while delicious, leaves me feeling kinda greasy.
Deep-fried candy bars.... well, maybe if I'd just made a big pot bust or something like that....

Anyway... I think the Scots actually did that before you'Muricans (and way before us. I think Calgarians were the first t do it here. And they're our Texas.)
Oh god Durian. I forgot Durian. Durian is gross. It smells like a dead rat wrapped in a fruit peel. Tastes like it too.
I'd heard Durian's flavor described as "a sort of oniony pineapple," so that's always made me kind of curious...
... That actually sounds good to me. It'd save me a topping on my pizza orders. Why, I could fill that vacant slot in with green pepper.
You know? The only way it could be better would be if it tasted more garlicky. Fruit + garlic = foreverwin
I can't think of any gross Canadian foods.
Seal eyes tend to freak out some folks, but they taste yummy!
Prairie Oysters. I have no idea where you can order one, but they exist.
Canadians don't have any mainstream gross foods like some other countries do. Our mainstream national dish is awesome: Poutine. Montreal, your smoked meat had it for a long time, but Poutine took the country by storm. Soon, the WORLD! MWHAHHAHahaahaha!!!!!
Sorry, been playing a lot of Monkey Island lately. Was channeling Murray there a bit.
I've heard it has kind of a creamy texture, but it tastes like the sweaty insole of a boot.
Good times, good times. Definitely worth it.
As HCGLNS mentioned, I think ours would be the Sour Toe Cocktail, even though who among us has actually tried that?Prairie Oysters. I have no idea where you can order one, but they exist.

I don't think that counts. Pickle anything in alcohol long enough and it ceases to lend anything to the alcohol of itself.
Not sure that Rocky Mountain oysters would be a big deal since a number of countries eat the various reproductive bits of a variety of animals.
You should've seen my wife's face when I told her that uni was actually the gonads of the sea urchin
Pickled pigs feet, boudain, Pickled Spicy Sausage (the worst thing that I ever ate), sucking crawfish heads, sardines...
Menudo, Barbacoa, Lengua...
Menudo, Barbacoa, Lengua...
I'm not claiming uniqueness, only that a Canadian dish that's absolutely disgusting does actually exist.
Or at least the idea of it is horrid. The dish may be 100% fine. I dunno.
Whatever is wrong with sardines?
I mean, all those other things are delicious as well (excepting the pickled spicy sausage and crawfish heads, I've never had those so I can't judge), but I don't see whatever sardines did to get put in the in the ''offal'' category.
The Double Down is bad, but there is worse...
Marmite and natto are more "love it or hate it" than downright nasty. I will have either one and come back for seconds.
You must get terrible sardines. That makes me sad.
I forget not everybody has the luxury of living near the coast where fish is fresh all the time, unless you eat at a terrible locale.

Okay, but what is it?
Call me a baby, but those "eating" challenges on Survivor still revolt me!
I've had Durian. I don't remember quite what it tasted like, but I remember my reaction to be "This doesn't taste good, but its not insanely gross."
