Food you tried once and would never touch again

[Orang Utan]

Sheep shit

 

[hatz]

I can't decide which is the most gross thing I've eaten... the short list is:

-foie gras (sp?)
-liver
-kidney
-oysters and other sea food type things
-prawn mayonnaise sandwich

Ohh, even thinking about the last one makes me feel ill.

Though this "head cheese" you all speak of sounds disgusting and I wish I hadn't checked the wikipedia entry. Ignorance was bliss, it really was.

When I was teaching in Taiwan I was given a bin bag full of chicken's feet as a present for teachers day. I had to nibble on one in front of the parents to be polite. It was so horrible.

 

[etnea]

foie gras
okra. actually I did recently try okra again and it wasn't quite as bad as I remembered - in fact the taste is quite nice, but the texture is like snot
tinned carrots

 

[Orang Utan]

I like most offal - it's just a squeamish thing - it actually tastes nice once you get your head round it.


I've never tried foie gras but would love to - I thought it was supposed to be exquisite

 

[etnea]

Foie gras is way too rich imho, and the taste lingers for ages. Kinda like truffles linger - don't like them either. (savoruy ones)

 

[Orang Utan]

mmm truffles........

 

[kakuma]

fish eyes and fish brains soup, I'm sorry Korean people, I've tried to like it, I ate it to be polite once but it's not happening again.

koreans eat literally everything in the sea



dog is fucking disgusting as well

 

[geminisnake]

Caviar - ick
Avacado - ick
Rollmop - ick
Tripe - ick

Now at the stage where I am a bit dubious about trying certain types of things. Oysters, snails, etc, agree with doggy, if it's in a shell it's for good reason!!

 

[Dubversion]

fucking sweetcorn.

sweet jesus, that stuff is rank

 

[etnea]

fucking sweetcorn.

sweet jesus, that stuff is rank

Really? Sweetcorn? Like even on the cob and BBQ'd?

 

[moonsi til]

ooooohh...PICKLED WALNUTS....Im sure I will think of lots more soon.

 

[Orang Utan]

mmm sweetcorn.............
nice eaten with a cocktail stick out of a lover's bumhole

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Lol !! :d

 

[Orang Utan]

The cream of Sum Yung Gi

 

[suzee blue cheese]

Razor clams are either an acquired taste or the one I tried to eat was dodgy. Never tasted anything so foul in my life..

 

[vipper]

A jar of pickled fish from ikea. I was expecting them to be like rollmops. They were raw. Now I like sushi but not a whole steak...

 

[spring-peeper]

Tofu!!!

Everything else on this thread so far -> thank you for confirming that I really don't want to try it. Not even once.

The tofu only got eaten because there was no polite way out of it

eta: oh yes, I did try pizza hut pizza once. That one qualifies as well.

 

[angel-eyes]

Human flesh




<gets coat>

 

[equationgirl]

Olives. Bluergh.
Jelly. Double bleurgh.

 

[subversplat]

Caviar. Bleurgh! Had some many years ago at the boss's birthday party.

I'm certain rich people's food is some sick Emperor's New Clothes joke coz it's almost invariably horrible but they all sit around saying what a lovely delicacy it is.

I would put mayonnaise on this list, but I'll invariably get a gobfull at some point in the future because it's fucking everywhere

 

[longdog]

On the drink front if I never have another mouthful of brandy again it'll be too soon.

How do people drink that stuff? It's like unleaded but without the cheeky charm.

God knows why they use it in victorian period dramas to revive swooning women. It'd make me vomit into my parasol.

Rancid stuff.

(I will of course forget all of this when I'm pissed and try it again with predictable results )

 

[kakuma]

Olives. Bluergh..

fucking chicken oriental are ya?

olives are the best thing ever

without olives there would be no olive oil

you can't have decent italian food without it tasting of olives

 

[kakuma]

I'm certain rich people's food is some sick Emperor's New Clothes joke coz it's almost invariably horrible but they all sit around saying what a lovely delicacy it is.

rich people food is ace, lobsters and shit

a lot of the problem with stuff like caviar and champagne is that people often buy it as a one off, and get shit that proper toffs wouldn't touch either. it's just cos it's the one time when they'll be flush, and they'll shell out for loads of overpriced imitation crap designed for idiots with too much money to spend and no idea about food

 

[abee]

The combination of ......... English mustard and white grapes.
Discovered and rejected whilst working for a sandwich outfit, and looking for new / innovative fillings.
Trust me, it's the most disgusting thing ever likely to cross your lips.
I advocate you try it just for the sheer appallingness of it.
It'll surpass anythng that has so far been mentioned.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Yeah, I wouldn't touch oysters again, they were rank. I can't understand why something that has to be doused in sauce and swallowed without chewing is such a delicacy. About as appetising as semen.

They're way better if you chew and slosh them around in your mouth before swallowing. That way, you get the full taste.

I ate tripe once by mistake, I won't be eating it again.

 

[treefrog]

I used to love mussels. Tasty, tasty mussels. The last time I had them, I was about a third of the way through when it hit me that they look like little brains.

Never eaten them since...

 

[liberty]

Aubergine dip oic had it tonight and it is really grim

 

[Dhimmi]

fucking sweetcorn.
sweet jesus, that stuff is rank

What is it about sweetcorn and vegetarian menus? Every veggy dish I've ever had is stuffed with the bloody stuff. It's as if all veggies are related to the jolly green giant.

Salt licorice. It is absolutely vile.
