The worst food you've ever eaten

[Shadow]

Oranges are pretty gross...but, I can choke them down if I have to. Watermelon,honey dew and cantelope ...NO WAY!

[Trigg]

I thought of another one. When I visited my sister in Finland I tried pickled Herring....gross gross gross gross gross gross.

[KarlMarx]

Spam is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. Egg Nogg is a close second.

[Abbey Marie]

Sloppy Joes

(But to be honest, I never could even bring myself to take a bite. The smell alone makes me seriously gag to the point of almost losing it).

interesting.....I was pressured into eating escargot once, did not enjoy it at all....I am also opposed to oysters, but one thing I have absolutely refused to try is crawfish.....have you seen where those things live?.....

now, that being said, I grew up in a Dutch family......one of the family delicasies is balkenbrij.....loosely translated, headcheese.....

now the secret of making headcheese is that you scrape all the tiny bits of meat that remain on the head of a pig after butchering....then you add the liver, kidneys, heart and various other bits of flesh that normally are not eaten and you grind them up......this concoction is then fried like loose meat hamburger, spooned onto a slice of bread, covered in corn syrup and eaten with gusto....

prospective inlaws are given the headcheese test before being admitted into the family....we tolerate no faint hearted projeny.....

I had some really bad barbeque at a place called Quarters in Rio Rancho New Mexico. Do any of your have in idea how hard it is to find decent barbeque in the Albuquerque area? This close to Texas you'd think someone could do it right, but noooo...

[Luna Tick]

Ew, I just remembered I ate a pickled egg one time. Gross, gross, gross.

Thai food. I found out after the fact that every time a group of engineers would come into town they would take someone new (who had never eaten Thai food before) out to lunch for Thai food. They would order for the person since the person didn't know what to order, then sit back and have a great laugh at thats persons expense. I have no idea what I ate but it was terrible. I also loved being pranked like that, no hard feelings at all. I'm a bit of a prankster so when someone gets me, I have to tip my hat to them and admit it was a job well done. Those guys got me good!

Raw oysters are like snot, steamed are actually pretty good.


The only thing I can say that I absolutely don't like is spinach, can't stand the stuff.

As a teenager, I tried oysters. It was like having a huge ball of snot lodged at the back of my throat. Gotta be the most gross thing I've ever eaten. Totally disgusting.....

Oh wait a second, I've also had a side dish at a mid eastern restaurant that we would normally use for a garnish. You want nasty tasting? That was it. I will never eat any mideastern food again. Just plain disgusting.

[Mr. P]

Anyone ever had beef tongue?

[KitchenKitten99]

Sea Urchin eggs...

[-Cp]

Peas! It was the one thing my mom didn't make me eat cause I would gag when I ate them

Let me guess- they were canned?

[Shadow]

Anyone ever had beef tongue?

Yes, tastes kind of like roast beef.

[DragonStryk72]

There is really only one food that I cannot stand, one that the merest scent of makes me literally want to puke... Beets. Yup that stuff is the devil!

[HogTrash]

The only disgustingly awful thing I have eaten that comes to mind is 'menudo' since I don't like cow stomach or hominy, which are it's main ingrediants.

Oddly enough though, I do enjoy hominy grits for breakfast occassionally.

I once ate oysters, holyyyy Christ, i have never had them before and i didn't know you were not meant to bite, and ended up with a mouth full of salty water, worst of all i was a guest at someones table at the time, so i had to just wince and bare it =/

I suppose I didn't know this either since I thoroughly chew my oysters as well as other shell fish, whether they're cooked or raw.
