what is the worst food you have ever eaten?

[Ichinisan]

 

[dullard]

Sauce? Why you need sauce? I can eat bucket full just plain steamed.

I would at least need salt on it. Sauce isn't necessary, but why would you turn down spicy garlic edamame and go for it plain?

 

[renz20003]

There is goat cheese and then there is strong goat cheese. You must know what you are getting into before eating it. They are nothing alike. It would be like lumping pizza and the bottom of a vomit bucket into one category and claiming that you hate it all.

It was at a wedding reception at the Chicago Hilton. It looked really tasty but it was very foul.

I like it plain boiled in salt water or steamed. I don't need any sauce.

Canned green beans? Made me retch. And that's not something I've done much.
I usually avoid the bad stuff. I'm canny like that.

My wife's

It's a fucking boiled soybean. Like a green bean. Wtf?

Pyrite is a shiny stone, but its no Gold. Edamame are "fools Peapods," but, the pods are gross and starchy and make you feel sick if you eat them. Apparantly, you are only supposed to eat the inside bits, but why serve them with the pods?

Anyhow, I dislike soybeans the most of any so called "food" I have eaten.

Also, Milk, I strongly dislike milk.

Really?

Most people I know love it. I think it's great, just too pricey to have often.

It's a mild flavor for a cheese.

Edit: Worse food I've eaten? Octopus sushi; no flavor and awful texture. If you hadn't specified "eaten" I'd say tripe. The smell of it made gag pretty violently. I had to leave the room; never got to eat any of it.

I agree with Tripe, as a wee lad I ordered it without knowing what it was, think my family were laughing. its so bad it's used as a derogatory word "your so full of tripe."

That Indian desert. What is called, "Galub Jamum"?

I'm sure there are great ways to prepare it but I only had it once and never again. The sauce was cold and the insides of the balls were disgustingly slimy.

Really? Those are just fried balls of... sugar? or something? In honey. I mean they aren't crisp (at least the ones I have) and tend to be juicy/slimy with honey, but they taste stupendous. Might have gotten a bad batch?

That's weird. I love canned beans, and sometimes eat them right from the can. Even if they weren't a favorite, I'd think they're fairly unoffensive. Certainly not on a "worst" list, unless you've led a very fortunate life.

Probably have. I just tried to think back to the last time a food made me retch.

 

[nakedfrog]

Tried some kind of sushi with salmon on a date a few years back. I managed to not vomit, but it was a struggle (I don't like cooked seafood, adding the texture of uncooked fish was past the tipping point apparently).
Hot mustard at a chinese place, tasted exactly like the smell of spray paint. I don't like regular mustard either.

I've had a few kinds of goat cheese and enjoyed them all, blue cheese is pretty good too.

Plain tofu.

 

[Thebobo]

Plain tofu.

Yea but is that really food? Its like chewing on wet balsa wood.

It's definitely food. There are many varieties of tofu from soft silken to extra firm block tofu. If you don't like tofu, chances are you never had it prepared the right way or you're inexperienced diner. Westerners don't know how to use tofu.

Well that should be a given since Tofu isn't a stable of Western Cuisine. While I can find it in some local stores, it isn't cheap.

He did say plain tofu. Plain tofu is pretty blah. I like it ok when it's cooked with spices.

16 oz package is like $2 at Trader Joe's. You call that expensive?

Who eats tofu plain though? The closest I'll eat it plain is if I pan fry tofu slices and eat it with a side of soy sauce. But my favorite way to eat plain tofu is to slice raw tofu and eat it topped with stir fried kimchi and pork. The warm fatty flavor of pork combined with spicy sour crunchy stir fried kimchi on cold soft tofu just works and makes the best drinking food.

 

[lxskllr]

Not too sure about that, but I'd try it. I think I'd rather delete the pork, and fry the tofu in the same style.

I don't live anywhere near Trader Joe's. The last time I've seen it at a few local stores, it was like $4 or $5 for 16 oz.

 

[ponyo]

No, you can't leave out the pork. You need the richness from the pork to make everything work. The stir fried kimchi is there to add the spice and the crunch and to counteract the richness of the pork. Everything is there for a reason.

I think you'll probably like something like soft tofu soup better. Something like this. It's called sundubu-jjigae and any major US city will have Korean tofu restaurants where they pretty much specialize and serve all kinds of different soft tofu soups. If you never had it, I highly recommend you seek out tofu soup restaurant in your city. It should only be around $10 for a bowl of tofu soup and it will come with steamed rice and number of free side dishes.

Man, I wish I could introduce you guys to all these great food. There are so much great food out there you guys don't seem to be aware.

Who eats tofu plain though?

I've eaten it plain with Sriracha or sweet hot mustard. Also cold in a sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo.

That's not plain. You're topping with condiments and other items.

Well since the tofu wasn't simmered in broth or fried, I would consider that to plain Tofu.
