Food you tried once and would never touch again

[trashpony]

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.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who hates it. Little yellow teeth. Yuck

 

[Riff]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - olives and marmite are just WRONG!

Beef jerky is vile, dried, salty crap!

 

[lynne8]

Anchovies, especially on Pizza !

anchovies on pepperoni pizza rock!

 

[lynne8]

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.

tripe..not good.

Oysters are best when you pick them yourself and they are the little young ones, raw with a bit of hot sauce and a nice icy cold beer, or just lightly sauteed after being dredged in flour and served with a bit of lemon..Oysters Rock!

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.

Tofu?
That's so bland, I find it hard to imagine anyone taking such an active dislike to it.

 

[RubyToogood]

Salt licorice. It is absolutely vile.

You must have been psychically present at craft club last night because this came up... Ammonium licorice is worse

 

[Skim]

I had some Danish licorice once, the salty type, and could never touch that vile stuff again. I'm best off sticking with Bassett's allsorts.

 

[Phenol]

I know it's not food as such but pernod/ouzo/raki makes me gip like a pigeon!
Aniseed and alcohol do NOT mix foreign freaks!!

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Snails.

In China. I thought, I can do this, it's European, c'est les escargots, n'est ce pas?

So I bit and it crunched, and I spat out bits of little shells.

My Chinese friend said: Oh, you must have got a pregnant one!

Hmmm, yeah, lucky me. Bleurgh!

 

[Skim]

My Chinese friend said: Oh, you must have got a pregnant one!

I think I would have vomited on the spot.

 

[zoltan]

without knowing, I bought what looked like chese sandwich on a cold new years day in berlin. The "butter" turned out to be lard..


OH dear. Not good when you are nursing a Berlin new years hangover.and a vegetarian........

 

[hatz]

My Chinese friend said: Oh, you must have got a pregnant one!

That's honestly a truly disturbing tale!!

 

[Dubversion]

[Dubversion]

salad without celery

salad without salad would be preferable

 

[Masseuse]

Horseradish!

 

[chooch]

Horseradish is beautiful.

Bananas on the other hand. Had one in my life and that was one too many.

 

[gaijingirl]

Another sweetcorn hater here... I can't stand the way it explodes in your mouth... bleurgh....

Alternatively try Oysters Rockerfeller - covered with spinach and cheese and then grilled. The Oyster Bar inder Grand Central station in New York has dozens of ways to serve Oysters so that they don't resemble a TB sufferer's phlegm-fest.

 

[Cobbles]

I'd never eat Guinea Pig again - maybe it wasn't properly prepared but I thought that it was nastily oily and pretty rank with far too many bones to be worth the effort.

The front limbs are useful as toothpicks, though.

I find that is much more true of the evil, disgusting, devil's clackers that are mushrooms. I fucking hate the things with a passion, yet apparently all non-meat eaters constantly crave the foul taste and slug-like texture of these Cthulu escapees. EURGH.

 

[Idaho]

All such fussy eaters. Go back to your findus crispy pancakes and tinned spaghetti

Almost everything mentioned so far is fine, with the exception of Marmite and pregnant snails.

Sea cucumber is actually quite nice when pickled.

 

[hiccup]

I had these little tiny deep fried fish in Singapore. They didn't really taste of much, but I spent the next 24 hours trying to pick tiny, sticky, razor-sharp fish bones out of my teeth and gums. Don't think I'll bother eating those again.

Ammonium liquorice kicks arse!
So does the chloroform stuff!
From Iceland?
I really like that stuff, and it's great for freaking people out with- it tastes so weird

 

[SubZeroCat]

Oh yeah, sashimi is too weird.

It has a kind of creaminess to it that I find weird and in my head I'm like "It's fish but it's creamy and it has no texture aaaarrrgghhh!"

ERM.

Ikan bilis (sp?) - I love those in a kedgeree

Yeah, either that or something very similar.
