But why do they keep the recipe? And any taste you have to have grow, is not a very good one to begin with.

I live in France. Which means that I've tasted things from deli-frakkin-licious to hellishly disgusting.

About disgusting things...well, the list is long. First, there's "pois gourmands" (roughly, "Tasty peas"...no, seriously). If well-made, they're pretty great...But when they do it in a High School restaurant...It's terrible. The taste...I wont even try to remember it. All you have to know is that one of my friend, who ate every meal to the last piece of food since ten friggin years, cried and puked before eating even twelve of those things.

Qinoa is also pretty...strange. Looks like rice, but has a sour and salty taste. TOO sour and salty.

Adn a last one, for free : Camembert Ice Cream. Yeah, an ice cream, flavor "stinking rotten french milk". I don't even like cheese, to start with !

Look upon my R.O.U.S., ye mighty, and despair!

Some people sure are picky. Papaya, grapefruit, wasabi, sauerkraut, salty licorice, buttermilk (not the fake “milk+lemon juice” garbage, REAL fermented buttermilk,) celery, fish heads (specifically, canned sardines with the heads still on. The skulls have about the consistency of Pez, tasty crunchy skulls)… I love ALL of those.

I remember once when I was little, my sister and I decided to see who could make the most vile tasting concoction possible. She tried randomly pouring discordant stuff from around the kitchen together, but the result was just sort of bland. I, on the other hand, combined V8 (a brand of awful vegetable juice cocktail) with vinagar. The result was exceptionally nasty.

deathjavu: Personally I always thought tapioca pudding was the most vomit-like of all foods. Bleh.
Tapioca tastes just fine, but the texture… Those little bits of gelatinous… Whatever that is… Egh. A similar effect occurs to any custard if skin is allowed to form on the surface, then stirred in (breaking into little pieces) by the unwary.

English Ivy: Wait, what's wrong with celery aside from its blandness?
Celery, bland? I always thought it tastes sort of spicy. My dad despises celery though, because of the strings. A joke he frequently uses (mocking the colonics fad from the early '90s) is that “The average adult American has 3 Lbs of undigested celery in their intestines.”

Eldritch Blue Rose: One of these stations had us eat a one gallon bag stuffed with celery per group. I remember feeling really very ill after eating a good amount of celery.
That… Sounds more like Single-Issue Psychology than any distaste.

^ Yeah, France. I LOVED the cheese (I'm big on strong cheeses) but the love of chocolate there just goes too far sometimes. Chocolate chip bread was just creepy, but chocolate yogurt… Urgh.

Hey, if we're being like that I could mention that I'm a vegetarian (for taste reasons, not moral ones), and thus find eating most meats really disgusting. The texture of a lot of them... *shudder*

I. loath. Bananas.

Ask me to eat any fish, crustacean, mollusc, or cephalopod from the seas, and I shall do so with gusto and the cracking of crab legs.

Bananas? No.

[up][up][up][up] Chocolate yogurt? Chocolate yogurt is the best thing ever! At least the Slovak variety. And they even have chocolate banana yogurt, which may sound ridiculous to some but is really fantastic.

There are three foodstuff I don't remember too fondly.

Intentionally ate: Balut. I guess the bones were the biggest turn off.

Unintentionally ingested: Marmite. I mistook it for jam and applied generous amounts on my toast... Worst tea time ever.

Took a gamble: Melon flavoured insta noodles from Korea. Nauseatingly sweet.

I don't get all the Coriander hate in here :( (although it doesn't really add much spice to an ale).

The worst thing I've eaten was part of a "Breakfast in a Can" in a toastie. The Bia C was meatballs filled with the horrible plastic yellow cheese and covered in some kind of "breakfast sauce".

When the toastie was bitten into the pressure was too much for the meatball which then burst and squirted the foul cheese across the table. It seemed like some horrific pus filled bubo sandwich had just burst.

As for actual food that isn't spoiled, uh...that green diarrhoea that comes with sushi.

I like all the rest of them, but the "salt" in salty licorice is not table salt, it's ammonium chloride. EU classification "Harmful, irritant." It is not a good thing to put inside your body, and the taste is your tongue's way of telling you that.

...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.

@Nika-senpai: Salt+chocolate=tongue. My sister has gotten some pretty horrible stuff in the US too, chocolate potato chips, chocolate pretzels…

@Barcode 711: Wasabi, although most “wasabi” is actually just horseradish with green food coloring.

Meat. Spent ten years eating it and I still feel bad about it sometimes.

I agree that celery tastes pretty bad, although I find it moderately edible compared to things that taste really bad. Wasabi is a pretty nice topping, but you're really not supposed to eat it in bulk. Tomatoes have this disgusting tomato-ness to them that luckily goes away when cooked. For some reason people who don't understand always try to convince me to eat fresh tomatoes though, as if that would be better. Fresh tomatoes are worse. Tapioca pudding is the best kind of pudding.

Worst thing I ever ate? I have no idea, but what comes to mind from the recent past is raw peanuts. My parents have a parrot and they like peanuts. I also like peanuts, and in general it's not uncommon to have bags of peanuts lying around, still in their shells. Unfortunately you have to read the bags to tell the difference between the raw ones and the roasted ones, and the raw ones are not pleasant.

Mayonnaise is what I find nasty; it has a horrible watery rotten egg taste that I cannot stand. It really baffles me why people like it. ^I find tomatoes to be okay if they have been stewed for a while (like sauces), but fresh tomatoes taste like rubber.

[up][up][up]: I'm fifteen years old and have been vegetarian since I was ten, but since none of my family are I obviously ate meat before that. I still feel a little guilty about it.

Mmmm... this fried chicken's suffering is what makes it delicious.

Adding to the list: liver. It tastes like rust. Obvious in hindsight, but I wasn't expecting the organ that filters an iron-based biological material to taste like iron.

You know how people talk about durian like it's the king of fruit and you will be enlightened upon eating it even though it smells horrific?

Celery. There is nothing more horrid than celery in existence. It's only purpose is to flavor my foods. Beyond that it is a nasty tasting nuisance that makes me gag whenever I eat it regardless of how it is prepared.
