Worst tasting food you ever ate

[NaMeaHou]

I knew from smelling it that brussel sprouts were poison, but I was talked into eating one.

Never again without being tied down in a rubber room.

what is the worst tasting/smelling food you ever ate?

[HEyHEY]

1. Hungover one morning

I let my friend convince me to go out for Vietnamese food. Sorry but on a hangover...I need burgers not sprouts. Tasted like shit because of that

[deek]

2. liver

nothing will get that bile taste out of your mouth

note: I love brussel sprouts. Try them fresh, not frozen, and not overcooked (bright green, not army green). Heaven.

To each their own, eh?

[DuctapeFatwa]

21. I agree. Liver in any form, from the most humble to the finest foie gras

it all sucks hard.

[Sequoia]

107. Liver, hands down

That is truly the worst food on earth. I had to eat it as a kid every Wednesday night before church. It was fried so much it curled on the ends. I was in Atlanta once getting ready to go to the Coca-Cola place when I smelled that liver in the air, it made me sick and I left the place. So, to me Liver+church=hell on Earth.

[jono]

110. Definitely liver. (nt)

[flamingyouth]

3. McDonald's breakfast burrito

I was sick for two days afterward (road trip - no other food options).

[Dookus]

4. I LOVE Brussels sprouts... really i do..

the worst thing I ever tasted was Vegemite. <<shudder>>

[KC21304]

10. Isn't that what Lucy Ricardo was selling on TV

and she got drunk because she had to take a taste on every take ? LOL

Seriously, I hate dates and figs.

[Dookus]

14. lol..

that was Vitameatavegamin

Vegemite is a slurry made of old tires, rat spit and wombat droppings that Australians spread on toast.

[TXlib]

18. I thought it was yeast extract

I rather like it.

Most americans hate it because they make the mistake of slathering it on like peanut butter.

Try that once, and you will hate it.

A little goes a long way.

Oh, and Vegemite makes rather a good miso soup.

[Kellanved]

89. not only Australians

The English ("Marmite") and the Germans ("VitamR") do that as well. It tastes great BTW.

[hussar]

132. I adore marmite

and as a veggy it's a good source of vitamin B12, yum

[BlueJazz]

12. There's a restaurant here in St.Pete....

that actually injects them with Butter/Garlic (via needle) before serving.
Damn! they're good!

[KC21304]

17. That sounds good. Butter and garlic can do wonders for anything.

[demnan]

82. Me too!

Years ago I had a temp job with the Royal Austrialian Air Force providing admin support. They were wonderful guys and Australian beer is great but they talked me into trying that vegemite and it was the worst damn stuff I've ever eaten. I'm an adventurous eater - I love Vietnamese food, Japanese, Indian - you name it, but not this creation from my own ethnic group.

I'll never let a handsome guy in uniform talk me into eating anything I don't know again!

[carpetbagger]

5. Sushi.

Don't tell me it's an acquired taste. I tried several times in the 80's to make myself eat it. It tastes like it's a piece of damn uncooked fish. It really does.

P.S. I never tried it with pico de gallo sauce. If anyone's found this to make the difference, let me know.

[deek]

9. try vegetarian sushi

very tasty

[Art_from_Ark]

91. Sushi is NOT uncooked fish

Sushi is a rice dish that may or may not contain raw fish. Inari-sushi, for example, has absolutely no raw fish.

Raw fish is called sashimi.

[Fenris]

6. That hobo I killed.

Kinda stringy. A little earthy...oh, wait...

[NaMeaHou]

11. What the HELL?

ugh and oof and damn. I didn't expect that one.

[curse10]

134. that made me laugh out loud

:-)

[BlueJazz]

7. I was talked into eating some Alligator once......

...I can still taste the Greasy Crap....Barf!

[corarose]

45. I gave my Sister a piece of Alligator and the Restaurant Show

I told her it was Chicken and she made a face and allmost :puke: when she found out what it was.

[KoKo]

8. Denny's Beef Stew in Maine about 15 years ago!Never have eaten at Denny's

since. I still can smell the putrid smell of it......Blech.....

[qwertyMike]

13. British

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. Bah...

I lived in the UK for 18 months and became quite a fan of their cuisine. Everyone talk bad about it, but I'll take a nice Steak and Kidney Pie, Fish and Chips, or Bangers and Mash anyday.

It's a shame that the reputation precedes it.

[Nazgul35]

25. any people that boils their meat...

start at a low point on the cuisine chart and have to work their way up.....

:evilgrin:

[foxy]

37. Why would you say that?

Have you tried it before?

I have a friend that boils all their meat and if you didn't see them do it you would never know that they did it. But you would brag on every dish they made.

I thought it was a little strange but I loved the taste and the tenderness.

[Pert_UK]

57. Oi numpty, the only meat we'd boil would be a joint of ham.....

which you have to do, in order to remove the excess salt.

So there.

:-)

P.

[hussar]

133. Thankyou and BTW

gimme a good ole Balti anyday mate, God how I miss not being able to call the local curry house and having a good veggy curry and nan bread delivered piping hot to the door.

[alwynsw]

52. The Brits almost conquered the world

...and all of that in search of a good meal..

[hussar]

135. Yes bollocks you knob head

what do you know, been around av ya ?

[Pert_UK]

56. Bollucks....

British food is some of the best in the World. It's previous reputation may be somewhat poor, but modern British cuisine and properly prepared traditional dishes are superb and shit all over most American cuisine.

Sorry to be harsh, I just get hacked off with people just ignorantly trotting out "British" every time someone asks about bad food....

And yes, I can take a joke at my own expense, I'm just trying to correct a false myth.

P.

[DoNotRefill]

67. In England, "fresh" means...

they wash it once a week. ;-)

[Pert_UK]

68. Bloody hell.....I'd better up my genital spongebath to every 6 days then!

:evilgrin:

P.

[WoodrowFan]

83. My Mother-in-law is English

it's AINT a myth!! Let's cook dinner today, serve it two days from now. :puke: I see lots of Chinese resturants in the US, as well as Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, French, Italian, Burmese, Spanish, Mexican, Peruvian, Brazilian, Ecuadorian, Australian (does Outback count?), Korean, Afghani, Ethiopian, Lebanese, Greek, and even German and Swedish. Ain't NEVER seen an English Resturant....

[corarose]

127. I use to live in England

Fish & Chips, Cornish Pasties, and Scotch Eggs are some of my favorite foods.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

15. Anything on rye bread

I LOATHE rye bread. :puke: :nuke:

[DuctapeFatwa]

19. You have to put roquefort vinaigrette on brussel sprouts

That makes them taste good.

[NoPasaran]

20. Some Hideous Candy

Given by an elderly Spanish couple on the train to Paris late one night in 1966. Thankfully the lights in the compartment were soon turned off so we kids could spit them out discretely.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

129. Are you sure they weren't Mexican?

www.bad-candy.com

[mitchum]

22. Chitterlings tasted like a deep-fried rimjob

[Mikimouse]

23. Pickled Wild Boar-no kidding

It is customary in my father's home town to serve this dish on st. Stephen's Day (August 20th), and I had no idea what it might be like, so I tried it. The reject light came on immediately when it hit the back of my throat. Very embarrassing-at least I made it ourside.

[Nazgul35]

24. potato chips with bay seasoning...

I saw the crab on the package....was hungry and shoving the chips in my mouth before I read the package....god, I can almost taste the ocean at low tide now....




shudder....

[tabasco]

26. I don't remember what it was called ...

but it was in Poland, and it was intestines.

[BlueJazz]

28. Geez!...ROTFLMAO!

.

[JewelDigger]

27. Hawaiian 'poi'

'poi' in hawaiian means 'beige-colored glue that you eat with your fingers' Yeeeeech!

[foxy]

29. broccoli

*icky*

Can't stand cauliflower cooked either. Love it raw though. And cabbage cooking makes me sick.

[Twillig]

50. OMG!

Broccoli and Cauliflower are the only two veggies I can stand cooked!

Actually I like 'em. Split pea soup makes me gag--always, instantly.


props to that Broccoli hater G.H.W.B. for not sending me to occupy Iraq ca. 1991.

[dofus]

30. I'm going with vegemite.

It's nasty. Aussies are nice folks, but the vegemite is strange. The really odd thing is that a lot of them apparently like the stuff, and on a recent trip there, were amazed that we Americans didn't consume the stuff. Shudder.

[maveric]

31. Caviar!!! Yuck!!

Salty, fishy shit! I dont see what the big deal about that stuff is.

[BigMcLargehuge]

35. I had Russian Red Caviar... BLECH!!!

it tasted like salty soap served in an old sardine can

[seamarq]

32. Living on the Puget Sound, it's hard to admit...

but I can't look an oyster shooter in the face. Not sure if it's the taste as much as the texture. <shiver>

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

33. Possum

Oily and nasty.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

34. In the U.S., liver

I also hate Roquefort and other blue cheeses, Brie, capers, and anything smoked that ISN'T meat. Do not present me with smoky pea soup, smoked cheese, or smoked fish.

My mom used to serve liver, and we kids always groaned and complained. Her excuse was always, "Well, I have to use it up."
:crazy:

In Japan, I couldn't stand kazunoko, which is crunchy herring eggs and has an intensely bitter taste; niboshi, which is crunchy little silver whole fish, about half an inch long, salted, sold in plastic bags, and eaten like potato chips; and natto, which is euphemistically referred to as "fermented" soy beans. It looks like baked beans, is sticky, and tastes like a garbage can smells.

[Art_from_Ark]

92. Blue cheese, brie, smoked cheese... Yummy!

And natto is great! I don't know why people complain about the "smell", because I have never noticed anything peculiar about the aroma.

Niboshi is also yummy if it's mixed in with almonds.

But I'll agree that liver is the pits.

[Kellanved]

93. Liver yummy

Fried with onions, in a salad, liverwurst, mousse, ...

Yummy

And I'm a cheese fanatic.

[OldSoldier]

150. The follow-up to "I have to use it up"

is "well, why'd you get it then?"

This doesn't work for people who slaughter their own meat, but for the rest of the world it's a valid question.

[Sentath]

36. Jellyfish

Do you really want to know?

[DBoon]

38. Curried Goat

at a Jamaican restaurant

[Pert_UK]

69. Curried goat is great!

Come to the Notting Hill Carnival and get yourself some!

Yum!

P.

[Briarius]

39. Black Licorice Flavored (anise?) Cookies

I picked up an innocent looking white cookie at a German Church reception along with some other stuff. While working my way thru the plate of goodies, I popped the whole cookie in my mouth and about died. I almost puked from the intense black licorice taste, and I like black licorice... it makes me shudder to this day

[Swede]

40. Lutefisk like grama used to make.

That's cod soaked with lye.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

46. Lutefisk!

"The piece of cod that passes all understanding"-L.N. Bolch

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

41. paella

It's Spanish.
It has squid in it.
It's gross.

[xJlM]

42. Guacamole

Without a doubt, the nastiest slimiest shit I've ever eaten.

[maveric]

48. Manna from the heavens!!

I LOVE Guac! Make it myself down here in SoCal!! It gets put on burgers, chips, sandwiches, salads....
MMMM MM!

[xJlM]

55. You can have my share

I lived in Texas years ago, and I'll never forget my first taste of that stuff. I'll never taste it again, either, if I have a choice in the matter.

[corarose]

58. You must have had some bad guacamole

It wasn't from TacoHell was it?

[xJlM]

122. No, but I can't remember who cooked it

I think it was at an actual Mexican restaurant, like Monterey House or something. Of course, my tastes have changed a bit in the twenty years since then, but I still have a real bad memory of slimy green shit.

[Sequoia]

106. You ate the fake stuff

I'll bet. And I'll also bet you're not from California, NM, or Arizona. In California, when you eat "real" guacamole it is not slimy but very good. Come on over to our state; we need help in '04 anyway.

[xJlM]

145. I'd love to be there

Kinda stuck in Ohio right now, but someday that may change.

This was right at twenty years ago, in Texas. I've never tried it since, but my tastes for other things have changed.

[RedEarth]

124. That's is good stuff

I fix my own guamcamole and it's wonderful, plus it is very good for you...essential oils in the avacados.

[corarose]

43. Beets

:puke:

[Clete]

44. Raw oysters.

Snails. I still hate both. Snails are particulary disgusting if you have a garden and observe how they live. I wonder how hungry the first French person who ate snails had to be.

[Twillig]

54. call them escargot

and it won't be so bad..

I had to eat 'em on a dare whilst in the army in Germany (not my best thinking days..) by my--so called--buddies.

NOT BAD!

[Pert_UK]

71. I've only ever had cold sea snails.....

I think I could handle the hot ones in garlic butter, but I had cooked then chilled snails as part of a seafood banquet - stringy bits of slime came with them when you pulled them from their shells, and there was no sauce or flavouring, just natural snail.....

Not so good.

P.

[Clete]

102. If you put garlic, herbs and butter on a turd, it will be tasty

but ugh!

[OldSoldier]

153. That's why they started eating them!

The people of Bordeaux were the first to discover the...uhh, joy...of eating snails. The royal court had taken all the real food for themselves, leaving the commoners to scavenge. Some guy saw these big-ass snails crawling around and thought to himself, "those have got to be edible. They've just got to be."

After applying the First Immutable Law of Italian Cuisine--anything is edible if it's got enough garlic in it--the practice of eating snails spread like wildfire. Call 'em soul food with a Gallic flair.

I would assume that the practice of eating frog's legs started at that time too, and for the same reason.

[populistmom]

47. Pickled Herring

My Swedish grandma's idea of an hors d’oeuvre at holiday gatherings. Yuck! :puke:

Sarah

[indigo32]

114. I love pickled herring

LOL

[MisterP]

49. pickled celery root

wild rice with lemon juice and peanut butter

[alwynsw]

51. New England Boiled Dinner

BLEECHHHHH!!! I want my pork either cured or fried! What else do you expect from a southerner? It may be Kentucky now, but the family is all DEEP SOUTH. We fry or smoke everything. (Yes, we've been known to smoke that, too.)

[foxy]

53. I have a friend who boils everything

And then he either frys it or grills it. It makes wild meats taste less gamey and more tender.

[mykpart]

59. My grandmother's friend once made me a casserole

that contained canned tuna and spinach and mayonnaise, and I think it also had some water left from washing my brother's dirty socks! Anyway, it was really yucky, but I had to pretend to love it so as not to hurt her feelings.

[alphafemale]

60. Snapping-Turtle soup

Worst part was I was a kid and a guest at a friend's house and witnessed the slaying and "cleaning" and the blood everywhere and that impossibly long turtle neck snapping around and then long and flaccid and limp and dangling upside down from a hook in their garage.

Ugh..and the flesh smelled like rancid swamp mud.

And the smell was unmaskable even in a soup.

Awful.

[corarose]

61. Flower Pot Bread (Tasted like shit and it smelled so bad)

My Sister bought it at WTTW for my Birthday and I made it. The whole time that it was cooking it made me sick and when I took a bite of the bread I threw it up. I still can smell and taste that shitty bread in my mouth.

[TreasonousBastard]

62. There is no bad tasting food.

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, liver, caviar... Some one here even hates rye bread. Lutefisk, I can almost understand. But not really. Such tame things to disrupt such fragile palates.

A straw of maggots dug fresh from the ground in the Ivory Coast, the fermented blood and milk of a goat in Nigeria, the testicles of a wild Mongolian yak, the fried worms and and silverfish of Fukien, a fresh blutwurst with the blood newly congealed and the intestines not cleaned, a congee with water buffalo penis, scrapple with the eyeballs left whole, fresh brains (no, I wouldn't go so far as to eat the brains of a live monkey, but a fresh killed one...)steamed pig uterus with a fetus, the rotted carcass of a deer carried back to the camp over days by Yamamoto Indians, the "aged" fish left in an ice block for months by Eskimos...

Yummmm! Such culinary delights.

(I'm making a sandwich of liver and mashed brussels sprouts on rye.)

[Kurt Remarque]

63. Cod tongue

Newfoundland soul food

[Pert_UK]

72. If you kiss fish you've only got yourself to blame.....

:evilgrin:

P.

[Awsi Dooger]

64. Cheese! Anything with that planetary yellow crap, cheese!

I despise cheese, other than mild and gapped mozarella on a pizza with plenty of drown-it-out toppings.

I can detect even a morsel of hideous cheese in any creation, store bought or restaurant. Won plenty a wager with doubting relatives by summoning a chef to verify.

The only time I thank heaven and beyond for my lousy sinuses is when I'm in the vicinity of a cheese shop, or any restaurant specializing in grotesque cheese.

The very word is a felony. I refuse to say it on the verge of a picture.

[OldEurope]

65. Rotten egg with embryo in it for Easter Breakfast.

I refused eating eggs for 2 decades!

:puke:

[DoNotRefill]

66. Korean food in Germany...

don't know why, but it was terrible...

[Snow]

118. Well, I've had German food in Korea (Swedish, too), and

it was pretty doggone good. Problem with Koreans, they think nobody but themselves can stand authentic Korean food, so when they open restaraunts in other countries they try and adapt to the local tastes. Most of the time that doesn't really work. So that's doubtless what you ran into. Come over to my house, my wife can cook the most incredible Korean meals.....

Oh, nastiest food I ever ate? Canned potatoes! UUuggggghhh, nauseating. And I've eaten a lot of really strnge things in my time, too, youngsters. (here it comes - another Peace Corps story from the geezer). One of our favorite libations in Korea was mahkollee, a quick-brewed beer that wasn't filtered hardly at all, so it was milky and not carbonated at all. Usually back then it was made from sweet potatoes, but we knew where to get the (then illegal) sweet rice kind. Oddly enough, you can find this stuff all over the world, the ingredients are different but somehow it always tastes the same. In Nepal & Tibet it's called chang, in Malaysia it's called toddy if I remember right. Anyway, one always nibbles on stuff while drinking mahkollee, including such okay delicacies as sea cucumber. The most revolting side-dish to the uninitiated, though was, bundeggee....the sauteed and salted pupae of silkworm, what's left after the cocoon is stripped off. You could get a large plate for like 50 cents. Crunchy, full of protein, sorta like chips or something. Smelled nasty, though......

Have I thoroughly disgusted everyone, now?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

147. Korean restaurants

There were lots of Koreans in Portland, but very few Korean restaurants, because all the Koreans with restaurant-owning urges seemed to open either Japanese restaurants or sandwich shops.

I tried most of the Japanese restaurants in Portland, and all too often, I'd hear the staff speaking Korean.

Since Korean cuisine is quite wonderful (I've eaten it in New York, San Francisco, and yes, in Japan), it seemed kind of strange that Korean immigrants in Portland wouldn't feature their own cuisine.

A high-class Korean restaurant finally opened up a few blocks away a couple of months before I left town.

[OldSoldier]

154. The only decent Korean restaurants in America...

are in towns outside military bases. The proprietors know they'll be cooking for other Koreans, so their stuff has to be real.

Something weird: a handful of old Korea vets went to one of the restaurants outside Fort Bragg a few weeks ago to eat Korean food and compare being stationed in Seoul to being stationed in the Second D. We all did as we did in Korea and ordered in Korean. The waitress (who was a second-generation Korean) didn't speak a word of Korean.

The best stuff to eat while drinking mahkollee, or Soju, is the fried food you get from the little street vendor stands. Three hundred won worth of shrimp, french fries and yakimandu would keep a couple of you drinking all night. The bags it came in were the best--they were made from paper out of on-base offices. Once I got a guy's court-martial. (He was a black marketeer, which is the most common court-martial in Korea.)

[Snow]

156. Good stories! Thanks.....

I'm glad to hear you old Korea vets knew Korean...such people were few and far between (and tended to be in 'intelligence work' when I was there circa 1971.

We recently moved to LA, and of course Korea Town, the area between Olypic and Wilshire or so between, ummmmm, Vermont west to the LACMA is full of restaraunts of every quality, but all of it authentic and all of them staffed by waiters who not only speak fluent Korean but often find English a challenge. Along that line, a very interesting phenomenon has been the hiring of many Hispanics, mostly Mexicans and Salvadorans to work in Korean grocaeries, especially the bigger ones. These guys, especially the meat counter and produce guys, learn Korean and learn it well enough to be able to take customers' orders, give cooking suggestions, describe what they've got that's good - all the usual grocery clerk talk, and they sound pretty damn fluent. I'm really impressed - and they must be picking it up just by working in the store, talking with their co-workers, and so on.

Anyway, street vendors - exactly, that's where I bought my bundeggee. Good stuff, street vendors - despite the Peace Corps doing its mother hen act and worrying about our sanitation - never made me the least sick.

[Pert_UK]

70. The first bite of (and belches following) durian fruit!

Anything after the first bite is nice, but the first bite (and subsequent belching) tastes like the smell you get from a particularly ripe garbage can.

Nice.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

73. Bullballs

Nasty-ass stuff!

Saw 'em cut off earlier in the day, that might have had something to do with it.

[Maine Mary]

74. A "nacho soup" at the airport in Chicago

I can still taste it. :puke: It was NOTHING like it looked or I expected.

Yeah, I know what you are probably thinking... airport food; gross. But this was supposed to be some kind of gormet chain. I TRUSTED them w/my money and day's calorie consumption yet they ruthlessly took advantage of it. They took away my naivetee and that is something I will never get back. Whaaaaaa..... ;-)

Now I "get" why the airport Mickey Dees lines are always so long. :-)

[montana_hazeleyes]

75. cilantro

Anything with cilantro is ruined for me. Also, when I was a kid ,my mom,who was normally a good cook, for some reason made us creamed spinach.
None of us kids would eat it after one bite.It was one of those things we brought up again and again over the years.

[trof]

98. same here

Cilantro leaves an aftertaste like something dredged up from the bottom of an over-chlorinated swimming pool.
yuck

[Richardo]

111. Figuratively, I hope...

It was one of those things we brought up again and again over the years.

I'm glad someone else is not a cilantro fan. I can't stand the stuff. x(

[montana_hazeleyes]

143. LOL Richardo

[Whitacre D_WI]

76. Gefilte fish (nt)

[RebelOne]

151. Yep, I agree.

Used to date a Jewish guy and would eat at his house on the Jewish holidays. His mother would serve Gefilte fish. I had to be polite and eat it, but I smothered it with horseradish.

[Muesli]

77. Some kind of caterpillar

I had in Zimbabwe.

Bitter, tough things with an epidermis like leather.

[Rowdyboy]

78. Calimari

81. Haggis!

I ate 3 bites, and promptly blew my cookies! What sort of demented culture would eat LUNGS diced up and stuffed in a stomach, then boiled?? :puke:

[hussar]

136. Nothing wrong with Haggis

I'm a veggie now !!!!! but used to eat haggis, you can actually get veggie haggis believe it or not, try faggots, you'll love em

[maveric]

138. Did your years of haggis eating prompt you to be vegetarian?

It would for me.

140. Actually no

it was a phase and still is, horse meat used to be quite nice too though

84. Kim chee.

Oh, my god.

85. I eat that stuff by the quart!

good kim chee is just brilliant.

86. Wow.

You're twice as brave as I'll ever be.

87. embrace the spicy fermented cabbage

[Kathy in Cambridge]

94. I love Kim Chee Too!

Spicy Cabbage-the only way to eat it!

[scarlet_owl]

101. My husband LOVES kimchi.

I make him eat it outside because it stinks up the whole apartment! :puke:

[KC21304]

126. I have never eaten kimchi, but I had to work with a Korean Pathologist

who did and I could hardly stand to work with him when he had been near it, for a day or two.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

103. Another Kimchi lover here!

Even Kimchi soup. Yum!

But it will stink the place up.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

130. Kim Chee Horror Story

At work (health food store), we had a bunch of really expired Kim Chee in the walkin refrigerator. Apparently, no one sane outside of Korea eats Kim Chee because I think only one jar ever sold of that shit. The bag that I threw the jars into ripped, coating the floor of the walkin in expired Kim Chee. I had to clean it up. The smell followed me for hours. I naively attempted to cover it up with vanilla air freshener. I just had vanilla scented kim chee then. The walkin, stock room, and delivery area were completely inhospitable for the rest of the day. I'm actually traumatized right now.

[OldSoldier]

155. It's not all cabbage

Try turnip kimchi, cucumber kimchi or bean-sprout kimchi. Much better than cabbage kimchi.

You must be careful with kimchi.

[Kellanved]

88. andouillette

French tripe Sausages. Not only tripe outside, but tripe stuffed with tripe. The seasoning tastes great, but the aftertaste is mean.

95. Thai fish sauce

Fermented anchovies. Integral ingredient in many Thai dishes. But not to be injested by itself.

[sangha]

142. Then you want to keep away from

Thai fish paste. It make the fish sauce seem mild in comparison

[MissMillie]

96. Can't remember ever eating anything that tasted so foul...

... that I would call it the "worst" thing I ever ate.

This explains a lot.... namely, my size.

97. Dr. Brown's Celery Soda

Horrible stuff.

My mother thought it tasted better than regular and used to make us take it when we were kids. Nastiest stuff in the universe.

148. OMG-That sounds so

horrible!

105. Tartar Sauce

Is the most repulsive substance on earth.

108. T-ration Bread Pudding

It's part of the Army Field Feeding System, which is how we mess our troops when we can't send fresh foodstuffs into an area. (The whole AFFS has three components: A rations, which are fresh foodstuffs; B rations, which are prepackaged food items you need only drop in boiling water to prepare and that serve twelve people; and C rations, which we now officially call Meals, Ready to Eat.)

The Bread Pudding smells like burning brake linings and tastes worse than it smells. It has ham in it. If you want to clear out a tent, just bring a container of this shit in and threaten to open it.

Most of the T-rats are actually pretty good. This one is the exception.

109. Beef

[RebelOne]

152. I agree with that. n/t

112. Campbell's "Pepper Pot" soup

The most awful, vile tasting soup I ever tried. Campbell's saw fit to discontinue my favorite variety, "Noodles & Ground Beef" and continue to sell "Pepper Pot."

115. Lamb ---- just thinking about makes me wanna hurl

:puke:

116. Blue Cheese or anything related

I'll eat lots of cheeses, in fact LOVE them, but I can't stand Blue Cheese.

[alfredo]

117. Strawberry flavored barium

[eauclaireliberal]

119. Anything English.

Sorry, I know that there's probably a few DUers in the U.K. No offense, but the English can't cook to save their lives. Maybe its just me being spoiled from Italian all my life, but I gotta tell you, the Swedes, Norweigians and the Scandanavians with their belief that lard and butter are "spices" STILL beats English cooking.

[hussar]

137. but I am offended

been all over the World incuding living in Switzerland for 6 years and I honestley don't think English food is that bad, I was brought up with Hungarian and Swiss food too BTW, love Italian, don't see the point of knocking a country because you may not like some of their food.

120. Chicken McNuggets

I could eat em until that piece of cartlige made me look inside of one.

[patdem]

121. Okra that is not encrusted and fried....any other way snot like liquid

[RedEarth]

123. Brains and eggs omlete

My mother fixed it when I was a teenager. I planned on at least taking a bite, however, when I cut into the omlete and some real funky stuff ran out, I decided against it.

[Nikia]

125. Some kind of Japanese soup

I think it had bean curd and sea weed in it. Something else grainy was floating in it. My mother made it from a dehydrated mix. I ate one bite and left the table.

[renegade000]

128. heart of palm

*gag*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

131. I love Hearts of Palm

A customer once didn't believe me that it was edible because it came from a tree.

[grasswire]

141. spaghetti with peanut butter

made for me by a niece.

And something I can't eat any more is szechuan noodles or anything with sesame oil. I once made 120 servings of szechuan noodles for a cultural banquet. I can't tolerate the smell or taste of sesame oil since that day.

[MediumBrownDog]

139. Monkfish liver pate

in Paris. Yes, it was made of monkfish livers and was like a country pate or terrine, surrounded in gelatine. So not only was it yackable in taste, the texture sent me into orbit -- right around the toilet. :puke:

[Ramsey]

144. Liver

Ugh.

But brussel sprouts are so good, you have to cook them properly of course. You'd love mine braised in soy sauce and broth with shallots.

[yellowdog]

146. No question about it.

Blood pudding in a german household in Jasper, Indiana in 1965. I think I threw up things someone else ate that day.

[Catshrink]

149. Self-censored

on edit: I'd posted something nasty about a relative's cooking. She did it with love and I had "eater's remorse" so I changed it.
