Would You Still Eat These Foods If They Were Called By Their Honest Names?

Have you ever thought that yogurt is literally just cream that has been injected with bacteria? Or that tripe is actually the stomach lining of a cow?

These foods are way more appetizing with the names we know them by. Would you still eat these foods if they were called by their real, honest names?

Bacon
Regardless of whether or not it is smoked, cured or fried.. bacon is pig belly!

Blue Cheese
It is a well known fact that the "blue" in blue cheese is an edible mould. But when coupled with how cheese is made (coagulated milk curd), it sounds downright rotten!

via

Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese are curds that have not had the whey liquid pressed out of them, giving it a more soupy consistency.

via

Escargot 
This honest name is pretty obvious. However, did you know that the the snail is first taken out to have its digestive tracts removed before being put back in its shell?

via

Foie Gras
Translated, foie gras literally means "fat liver". Doesn't it sound so much nicer and fancier in Francais :)?

via

Hot Dogs
In some parts of the world, this American food is considered "disgusting" because it is essentially, the left over meats mashed together in a synthetic casing. Mmmmm...

via

Sweetbreads
Sweetbreads are not actually a sweet bread but is actually made of thymus or liver of calves, lambs, pigs or cows.

Kimchi
As a fellow Asian who frequently dines on Korean food, this comes as no surprise.Vegetables are crammed into a jar and pickled, giving it its very strong and distinct taste.

Steak Tartare
Essentially.. an uncooked hamburger patty, seasoned and served with garnishes (one being a raw egg).
