Probably Hamburger Helper Chili Cheese, even grade school cafeteria food didn't get that bad.

Some weird soup at a wedding that had a piece of bread in it. Not only was the bread getting soggy and gross, but the soup itself tasted awful, and there was huge onions in it, I hate onions. It looked like giant toe nails in some pee, with a chunk of flem in it. Oddly, everyone was raving about how good it was, but pretty sure they were just trying to be polite. It was the nastiest thing ever, even without considering the fact that I hate onions. Even if it did not have onions, it would still have been gross.

Sounds like it was probably some pretty good french onion soup, your missing out.

dog - sort of regret this one
snake liquor (literally a dead cobra in a bottle of whiskey)
pig brain - texture was awful, like bland soup
crickets - I dunno.. bugs don't do it for me. The taste wasn't too bad though
chicken intestine - you just know it ain't clean
fried shrimp w/head - there is a burst of flavor

Smoked mullet. Sorry Guy Fieri, but Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish under-delivered and was overpriced. The waitresses could use some people skills training too.

French Onion soup. Love it. In fact I had it for dinner tonight.

pork butt...
it tasted like ass!

I think it was mostly nasty because of how it was cooked though. But it tasted like it was marinated with ink.

frankly the idea of eating live oysters is kinda gross when you think about it. you crack open a rock, the blood of the thing comes running out, you stab it some, and as it writhes in pain you slurp it down and chew on it, still alive.

:hmm:

Doogh - Iranian carbonated yogourt drink. Tasted like vomit, maybe I just got a bad one?

Aside from that there's a number of things I woudln't put on a list of worst tasting food but I don't like nonetheless. Durian is one, I can eat it but yeah not good. Seafood that is fishy tasting, usually this is a sign it's not the freshest or cooked quite right. Don't tend to like most shell fish because of this. Liver, tastes like Iron + chalk, no thanks. Other gamey organ meats.

Hairy lesbian pussy.

Shorty, licking their bicycle seats doesn't count...



Fresh papaya can be pretty nasty, tasting like vomit.

Fresh Hawaiian papaya is delicious.

Maradol (Mexican) papaya is nasty.

Took a big gulp of sour milk a long time ago. Since then I sniff the carton before pouring.

With curiosity I ate a little reject cheeto that looked like a solid piece of dried cheese mixed with MSG.

When it's my time, yeah I do have regrets.

There are definitely some great gross examples but the bulk of these are regular foods that you guys are complaining about because you have, honestly, really poor palates.

With all due respect, are you being serious? My jaw literally dropped while reading this. I can't tell if you are pulling everyone's leg or if you are serious. What you're describing is French Onion soup and it's by no means an adventurous or challenging dish (to eat). May I ask how old you are? And what types of foods you ate growing up? I have met many people who are fairly naive food-wise (not passing judgement), but you take the cake.

I'd have to say octopus........tasted like rubbery seaweed (or how I imagine seaweed would taste lol). But I am usually one to at least try new foods if the situation arises......

Oh, and this thread immediately reminded me of this

On roadtrips, my sister and I have a ritual. We stop at some gas station and purchase a dessert product for each other. The all time most disgusting thing I had was a Hostess chocolate pudding pie. I got her back though, I found a locally made brownie brick, man was it freaking solid and heavy.

Blackened chicken at a Mexican restaurant. The seasoning they used tasted like dirt, and the chicken was so dry that it actually was unswallowable. Even the cook was like damn, I'm sorry after he took piece of it...lol
