My vote for the nastiest food commonly available here (UK) goes to the doner kebab.
Every town across England has at least one Turkish/ Kurdish kebab shop and this sliced lamb from a rotating spit is usually served in a pitta bread with salad and chilli sauce. It is usually eaten when the consumer is drunk and has no interest in how long the meat has been on the spit, or how often it has been heated up and cooled down again... I haven't bought one for years having been put off them permanently by the discovery of a beetle crawling through the last one I bought!
"Research by the UK's Food Standards Agency in 2006 found that 18.5% of doner takeaways posed a "significant" threat to public health, and 0.8% posed an "imminent" threat."

Here in the States its called "Gyro", and it funny you posted it, as thats what im eating right now for lunch! And they are very good!
If i found a bug on my gyro i would find a different place to eat (dont blame the meat!)
And as far as scrapple, looks alot like Spam......
I love those things. I have a friend in Greece that gets them there and they do them with french fries on them. Quite tasty I must say. This thread is making me hingry....again
