A former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson has tried foods from around the world.

And his culinary adventures have taught the Texas Republican enough to know what his last meal on Earth, most definitely, will not be.

"It won't be dog penis," he said when asked for his preference during an interview on the podcast "Ruthless." "I ate a whole plate of dog penis one time. I'm not doing that again."

Jackson is likely talking about "Gaebul," the Korean word for a fish eaten in South Korean that translates to "penis fish," according to Travel Food Atlas, which describes it as the country's "genital-shaped delicacy."

"Because of its pinkish to brown appearance, it made a huge resemblance to the male private part. Hence, the name 'penis fish,'" the site says. "A joke was once also thought that gaebul resembles a dog's genitals, so the worm was named after those Korean words. Because of its phallic shape, it has also been known to be an aphrodisiac."

Jackson also said his last meal would not be a balut, which is a fertilized duck egg commonly eaten in the Philippines.

"I ate one of those," he told Ruthless podcast host Josh Holmes, a Republican consultant and former chief of staff to Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "I'm never doing that again."

Fried steak would be his preference, if he had to plan it, he said.

Here's Jackson, with his food review:
