What's the absolute worst thing you ever ate?

When I was a wee youngin', I got a Turkish Delight bar. I had no idea what it was (still don't) and couldn't get through more than one bite.

I couldn't understand the server's accent at the restaurant in Chinatown, so when she said "Beef (unintelligible)" I ordered it with my chow mein. It was sour and rubbery because it was beef tripe. I couldn't actually eat it because it was so rubbery, so it went unconsumed.

Note that most tomatoes you'll run across are flavorless, crunchy spheres designed to avoid being bruised by mechanical harvesters. Heirloom tomatoes are much, much better.

Eric,

Some Tesco brand ready made squid rings. They gave me food poisoning. And were terrible.

From things that are actually supposed to be edible: chicken and vegetable tymbalik. It looked like a cooked Gelatinous Cube and tasted like you'd expect a toxic Eldritch Abomination whose only purpose is to dissolve unfortunate adventurers inside it's amorphous, acidic body to taste like.

My title is no longer sticking out of its box, but I couldn't think of anything better to put here.

I don't get the hatred for baking soda. It's not tasty, of course, but it's not horrible, either. I sometimes use it for washing my teeth . When I was two, I had a really unpleasant incident with food poisoning involving tomatoes. I still shiver when I see them.

The sin of silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.

Monkey; forgot what type.

Oh good to know I'm not the crazy one on this. Damn small towns where everyone likes liver for some weird reason.

My worst is a horseradish sandwich. Long story. I thought it was tuna at the time.

Ketchup. Not even durian is that bad.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Mashed cauliflower. It's simply not to my taste. Almost spat it up in the middle of the cafeteria.

Groovy.

Corndogs. Had them for the first time at six. It was cafeteria food. It was justified that I would throw up a couple hours later. Second time I had one was at a supposed better place six years later. Tasted even worse, couldn't even swallow it. The smell is pretty rancid, itself, in my opinion.

Don't let the pink fool you.

Eggs. Just... urgh.

I actually would have put ketchup instead of my previous entry, but it's so horrible I can't actually think of it as food. I mentally file it into the category of biohazards.

...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.

I had jackfruit curry once. It didn't even taste that bad, but for some reason I had this massive "This feels like meat and tastes like meat but is a FRUIT" reaction that left me unable to stomach more than a few spoonfuls.

Peculiar.

Pickled Bologna. Well, actually, I actually like the stuff, but given the difficulty I've had finding it outside my home turf, I would imagine that it would make this list for many people.

Please spay/neuter your pets. Also, defang your copperheads.

Mayonnaise and boiled eggs (soft or hard) are the two foods that actively make me throw up as I eat them. Bleugh.

Funny, then, that the combination of the two (egg salad) is pretty much the only thing I like either in.

Eric,

Cheeseburger Doritos. Those things taste like wolf pussy.

Ranch dressing. Full stop.

I also can't stand most vegetables cooked with meat(in the pot), especially if it's with pork. There are other foods too, like sea urchin, raw cuttlefish, hummus, ketchup, tapioca, salmon, and many more.

But the worst thing I've ever eaten has to be breadfruit. Tastes like bread, huh? Tastes more like ass.

Monkey....I think it was a gibbon or something (or are they apes?).

^^...Why wolf?

Anyway, I went to a friend of mine's house a few years ago and her grandfather prepared these German dumplings with cabbage on the side and they were both possibly the most terrible things I'd ever eaten ever. In my entire life. I couldn't just stop after the first bite because he probably would've called me out on it, knowing her grandfather.

I've decided to start posting more often. Sorry.

Why not wolf?

You must be one of those people I was talking about who are somehow convinced that fresh tomatoes or homegrown tomatoes would be better. They're worse, because the taste of tomatoes is bad. Why would I want more of it? Flavorless tomatoes are better than flavorful tomatoes.

I agree with those who said celery. Absolutely disgusting in taste and even more awful in texture.

That isn't any ordinary meat; that's a pig's colon you ate! We call them "chitlins" in the southern US, and you have to prepare them very carefully to remove every trace of feces before cooking. They are absolutely vile and I don't understand how people can tolerate them.

Pills are usually given a waxy coating (except for those disgusting "all natural" variations of multivitamins) for that reason. The human tongue is genetically programmed to find chemical that is not naturally part of food extremely unpleasant; the bitter taste evolved to keep us from consuming poisons, and it can't really distinguish medication from poison.
