In summary, the conversation discusses offensive food items such as a chocolate drink in Sweden that translates to "dimwit" and the renaming of products for export. There is also mention of a photo of a product called "Spotted Dick" that has been photoshopped onto various objects, as well as other offensive food names such as "Cillit Bang!" and "Easy off Bang!" The discussion also touches on the smell and taste of durian fruit, as well as the phallic shape and effects of asparagus on urine.

As far as names go, you can't go wrong with Cloetta Plop or Picardi Sweat ;) (I hope I got the company names not too badly)

It's not a food item, rather a cleaning product, but in Belgium it's called "Cillit Bang!". I always misread it as missing the first "il", maybe that is a problem with me 
The same product in South Africa is called "Easy off Bang!"
IMO both are hilarious :)

because of some political correctness in SA, coco pops were changed to choco krispies. I find that that kind of undermining of the intelligence of the public a little offensive.

By far the most offensive smelling fruit in the world. I didn't have the courage to taste it though I understand it supposedly tastes good. It smelling like someone's dirty socks having gotten up, wandered around the countryside, had a good long life, then died in a compost heap somewhere really turned me off.

I think God had a sense of humour when creating the asparagus. You get those nice long white ones, very phallic indeed. Also, the green ones make your pee kind of glow and smell terrible!
The shape some might find offensive (not me, I think it's cool to be seen sucking on a Spargel)
The glowing pee and smell I find entertaining but could be offensive I suppose :tongue:

3. Why are certain foods considered offensive?
Certain foods may be considered offensive due to cultural or religious beliefs, ethical concerns, or health reasons. For example, consuming certain animal products may be considered offensive in certain cultures, while consuming foods made from endangered species may be offensive due to ethical concerns about conservation.

5. How can we address offensive food items?
To address offensive food items, it is important to educate ourselves and others about cultural and dietary sensitivities.

Additionally, having open and respectful conversations about food and its impact can help foster understanding and mutual respect among different cultures and groups.
