What is the worst food you have ever eaten? Mine is thin crust pizza. It tasted like a cracker. And you?

[debm55]

[Ritabert]

1. Beef liver....never again.

[debm55]

2. Oh yes, I forgot liver and onions. Thank you very much, for sharing that.

[hlthe2b]

19. ditto. I do not eat organ meats (AT ALL!)

Yeah, I've eaten a lot of weird things, but at least they didn't taste like THAT.

[Ritabert]

44. Same here. No organ meats.

[gab13by13]

3. Blind robins,

Something you eat at a bar on a dare.

It's herring. Remember the old song, Catch a pickled herring?

[debm55]

4. Oh my. Thank you, gab13by13.

[DBoon]

5. I ate escargot once

Like chewing on rubber bands

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. Beef tongue.

It's repulsive.

Also sea cucumbers. Like eating rubber bands.

[JoseBalow]

10. Lengua tacos are the best!

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. To each his/her own.

[JoseBalow]

13. Of course!

Though often it's a matter of how something is prepared.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. True.

In my case, it's the tongue's texture. And flavor.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. True.

In my case, it's the tongue's texture. And flavor.

[displacedvermoter]

7. Scungilli

Thought it would be very good, love seafood, but it was a no go.

[JoseBalow]

8. Some toxic sludge called "Vegemite"

Awful

[lastlib]

11. Yeah, that's pretty bad shit.

IDK how the Aussies can stand it!

[mwmisses4289]

15. That's similiar to something in the U.K. called marmite, isn't it?

Seems it's one of those things people either love or hate.
I've always been curious try it.

[JoseBalow]

20. I think you're right, but i haven't tried that

[unblock]

35. I've never known anyone to like both. It's either one or the other or neither.

So they're similar unless you like one but not the other

[Oneironaut]

27. Seems like the type of thing you have to grow up eating maybe.

But yeah - that looks vile. lol

Same with natto. It makes me nauseous looking at it.

[Bettie]

33. My son went to a summer camp

and had a counsellor from Australia. He brought Vegemite and my boy was brave enough to try it.....he was not a fan, but he was the only one to try it.

[Delarage]

58. I tried some

On my own while in Australia. I slathered it on like peanut butter on toast.... But it is VERY POWERFUL and is apparently supposed to be used very sparingly. So I tried again.... Just a hint of it with some butter.. and it was much better. Not so good that I ever tried it again, but better and tolerable. Has a very salty and strong taste.

[lastlib]

9. Anything with mayonaisse.

I hate that stuff with a passion.

[pandr32]

18. My husband did, too.

But then I make my own mayonnaise and aiolis. They are very different than any processed jarred mayonnaise. He loves it now as long as it is at home (and no, it's not to earn extra points with me!).

[pandr32]

14. I had some curry at a Thai restaurant here in Hawaii.

It was yellow curry--a favorite. Unfortunately it had canned pineapple pieces in it and nothing else. I wondered if someone's kid was cooking in the kitchen for a joke, but I got a serious bill--so no.

[debm55]

22. Oh my. Thank you very much for sharing, pandr32. that is a shame that you had to pay good money for a meal that was

wrong.

[pandr32]

42. We have fresh pineapple everywhere here!

Also, produce in abundance. Unfortunately, some terrible restaurants. There are some good ones, though. Lots of money wasted finding them.

[mwmisses4289]

21. So many, where do I start?

Saurekraut (really, almost any pickled or fermented food), caviar, calamari, kale, apricots.
I'll stop there, there are to many other foods that I wonder how we humans eat this stuff, lol.

[debm55]

23. Thank you very much for your selections of awful foods. mwmisses4289.

[House of Roberts]

24. Thin crust pizza is still pizza.

The worst pizza I've ever had was still pizza. The womenfolk here have one of those stones to cook the pizza in the oven, and they get these strange tasting pizzas. One had goat cheese on it with spinach. That might have been the worst pizza I ever ate.

[Oneironaut]

25. Cottage cheese

[electric_blue68]

62. Omg! Hahaha, the way it looks (Eeee!). Yeah...NO thanks!

[CanonRay]

26. Tripe

My Aunt made it when I was a kid. My father made me try it. Gag.

[Norrrm]

28. Cauliflower... There isn't enough cheese in the world to disguise it.

[vanlassie]

29. Canned peas.

Hands down. 🤮

[Diamond_Dog]

30. Anything pickled or anything that includes ketchup, mustard, or vinegar.

Liver and onions. Kale. Soft boiled eggs.

[SWinter]

31. School lunch canned carrots.

They were vile. I love fresh carrots—pull them out of the garden and wash them with the hose. Delish.

[Bettie]

32. Liver and onions....

just gross. Ick. Not for me.

DH eats it sometimes at a restaurant, he has to kiss me first because after that, no kisses for a few hours at least!

Same rule with creamed herring, which is also ick to me.

I know others may like these things, that's cool, they are just not things I can eat.

[Laurelin]

34. Lutefisk

The piece of cod that passes all understanding (I stole this quote from an Old Lutheran tshirt my daughter gave me. Don't know how to attribute it)

[mwmisses4289]

41. For you. 😄

[Laurelin]

45. That's amazing!

Thanks!

[electric_blue68]

63. Baaahahaaaa - A Prairie Home Companion is where I heard about it

EEEeeeeks!!!

[EYESORE 9001]

36. Buttermilk

It’s so acidic that it sets off alarm bells in my head - as if I’ve just ingested something caustic.

[Freddie]

38. It's good for baking

Secret ingredient in many cakes and cookies. Drink it, no way in hell.

[electric_blue68]

64. Wow, really?! I had NO idea!

[Freddie]

37. My friend who loves to make new recipes

Made this African sweet potato stew with spices that were totally unfamiliar and very hot 🥵. Her dog has a habit if circling the table begging for scraps and she strictly warned us to NOT give him any. I used the old trick of pushing it around the plate and eating the rice.

[Polly Hennessey]

39. Deb, I would prefer thin crust pizza. Biting into thick pizza crust

is too chewy and heavy. 😝 Full confession, I really, really dislike pizza 🍕 Here’s the deal: I won’t serve you lima beans if you promise not to make me eat pizza. 🥰

[Borogove]

40. Steak tartare. Didn't know what it was when I ordered it. Became a vegan soon thereafter.

[quaint]

43. Bharwa Baingan (It's just Indian Stuffed Eggplant, they said.)

Yeah, well it has peanut and coconut and chili powder and and it was really crying hot.

I did not care for it.😳

[LoisB]

46. Too many to name: Oatmeal, grits, eggplant, chitterlings, squash (except fried zucchini)...

[MIButterfly]

47. I agree about thin crust pizza. It tastes like a stale cracker with runny ketchup on it.

As for me, liver as a child. Never again;

Raw oyster as an adult. Never again; and

Brussel sprouts - hard little balls of bitterness. I don’t care how they're prepared. Never again.

[MiHale]

48. Well since you asked...Coyote...nasty meat...

Tough and stringy…worse even than wild turkey, the bird, not the alcohol.

We used to do wild game nights. Snapping Turtle is better.

[3catwoman3]

49. Uni - a type of sushi. Here is the description -

Uni, or sea urchin roe, is a premium Japanese sushi delicacy featuring the creamy, custard-like, and sweet-briny gonads of the sea urchin. Usually served as high-end nigiri or gunkan-maki (battleship roll) wrapped in nori, it is renowned for its rich, umami-packed flavor. Due to its delicate, labour-intensive harvesting, fresh uni is expensive, often costing over
$12 per piece.

Well, the piece I had may have been past it "best by" date. It was disgusting. it felt furry in my mouth, and tasted terrible. I love most kinds of sushi and sashimi, but this was hideous.

I've never been brave enough to try again.

[Aristus]

50. When I was a kid in Texas, my mother once served for dinner creamed squash.

Squash she had grown herself in our backyard. Farm-to-table does not necessarily guarantee good eating.

It was the most disgusting thing I ever ate. Revolting. You could have told me it was creamed locusts and grasshoppers, and I would have believed you.

[sinkingfeeling]

51. Kimchi

[underpants]

52. Brussel sprouts

And don’t start with any recipes. The whole point of brussel sprout recipes is to make them not taste and smell like sewage, which they do.

[Delarage]

59. I agree

So many people have told me that I have to try them this way, that way, at this place or that place. Tried a few different versions and.....nope.

[mike_c]

53. probably the giant water bugs from Thailand

One of my grad students made them for a potluck. I guess it's an acquired taste-- they tasted like I imagine iodine would taste. Very medicinal.

[GentryDixon]

54. Liver. 🤮

[northoftheborder]

55. Spam

[ProfessorGAC]

56. You Need A Paizano

Super high temperature counter top pizza cooker.
We make homemade pizza, but it work great on frozen pizza, as long as we let the frozen pizza sit out for an hour.
We buy a cheap thin crust, add extra cheese, onion, thin slices tomato, & garlic powder.
The Piezano heats the stone from the bottom at 800° & from above the pie at 700°.
3 minutes and the crust gets crisp, but still chewy.
One of the best kitchen gadgets we ever bought.
On homemade pizza, we get amazing results.

[retread]

57. head cheese.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

60. Octopus...BLECH!

Served as an hors d'oeuvre. (I STILL HATE myself for putting that wondrous creature's little pickled tentacle in my mouth!)

[Cairycat]

61. The family dog got all the liver I was served as a kid

I'd pretend to chew it, spit it out in my napkin, then drop it on the floor for our Irish setter.

I like many of the things people posted about, but I can't do organ meat, sea creatures other than shrimp, crab, and lobster, and raw fish or meat. Other than that I am an omnivore.

[electric_blue68]

65. At one of my favorite older cousins waaaay back we were invited for Easter Lunch ..

Tradition Greek ?Easter soup - ?Mahgritza.
Well, there were little hearts, kidneys floating in it! This is like 55+ yrs ago.


But I loved my cousin, and didn't want to disappoint her.
The heart? Eh. But the kidneys - ick!

Luckily my mom never cooked liver. Yet I love liverwurst; guess the herbs & spices counter rhe natural 😄 ?questionable taste.

I'd never have raw fish sushi, nor oysters!

And be careful at a Puerto Rican restaurant!
You want Monfungo - mashed fried green plantains w olive oil, garlic and ? but not
Mondongo - cooked chopped up tripe w whatever!
Two wrong letters - you in trouble!
No, never happened to me.

[eShirl]

66. Tofurkey

it tasted like Lysol-marinated rubber
