Having watched a documentary about how they make tofu, if I ever go to China I won't be eating any of the local varieties.

That is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of! The real question is why would ANYONE voluntarily eat them?

Scrapple. It's big in this part of the country, but that doesn't necessarily mean it taste good... unlike cheese stakes. Google it and you'll understand why I won't touch it with a 10 foot fork.

I know what it is .... unfortunately. It's quite common in NC. Never ate it and will continue to avoid. I don't like processed meats in general.
