Balut, it tasted good actually but the physiological hurdles I could only eat one and could not do it again.

Anytime I've seen a video of them, they mention the feathers/skull/or juice and I'm thinking "please stfu"

Witloof, its this variant of cabbage that is long thin and completely white. And it has one of the most pungent bitter tastes ive ever had the misfortune to discover. The taste is hard to describe, but it's similar to bee spit,also known as honey, except replace all the love and care that the bees spat with, with pure malice and wasp hatred. It is incredibly sweet, ungodly bitter and has after cooking the texture of overcooked pasta

Never had aspic but I had some unflavoured gelatin one time for a temporary restricted diet and I swear it tasted like licking the armpits and feet of a pig that had freshly been smeared with sheep shit.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's about accurate :3.. honestly aspic doesn't taste that bad? I mean it's just meat and vegetables essentially, but the texture is horrible. It's not like commercial gelatin you buy in packets, it's more firm and grainy, while still having that wobble, and it just makes me gag

If you warm it up, it becomes soup!

Steak, fish, boiled potatoes and fish pudding, basically anything my dad made.

I was 18 when I found out steak wasn’t supposed to be rubber. The foods in themselves should be good, but the way he prepared them, ruined everything.

Now as an adult with my own kitchen and money, I can make the meals phenomenal in comparison to what dad made.

Take the dish fried rice, everyone is head over heels about it, billions of people eat it. But for me it’s associated with some really terrible shit. Soggy rice, canned corn, grey minced meat, canned champignon and lots of oil. No seasoning except salt and the oil.

I’ve eaten a lot of pretty crazy stuff by western standards. The most challenging thing I have eaten was a giant water bug. The most challenging thing I haven’t been able to bring myself to eat was balut.

The water bug was definitely not the worst thing I’ve eaten though; it was unbelievably fragrant. Practically like eating perfume.

Flamin Hot Cheetos Mac and Cheese. Had to open all the windows to get the smell out

A Pizza. It was in Milan. Directly in front of the cathedral. It tasted like a frozen pizza, and I was utterly disappointed.

I once went to an Ethiopian restaurant with my family. Never again.

I can't even describe it, but whatever evil concoction they call their version of bread is easily the worst thing I ever attempted to eat.

You don’t enjoy the unholy union of packing wrap and kitchen sponge?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

How about tripe, the other kitchen sponge?

Broccoli and cauliflower. Just including either of these ingredients ruins the dish. I would rather eat dog shit.

Cocolate pudding in a hotel in reims france.

I dont know what it was but it wasnt chocolate!

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It was something like mashed pumpkin. I forget the exact variety.

I was for dinner at some friend's place. He gives me a bit of that pumpkin stuff, saying I have to taste it because it turned out so great. It was left-overs from the previous day. I take a spoon and it tastes absolutely rotten. Well, ok. He is trying his best to be an amateur chef, but I do have doubts about some of his culinary judgments. So, I put on the polite face and just eat it.

After a few spoons, I can't take it anymore. I say: "Sorry, this tastes absolutely rotten." He tastes of it, nods and hurries out the room to throw it away. So yeah. I ate spoiled food. I didn't get sick but I haven't eaten pumpkin since. The taste really stayed with me.

I don't know about THE worst, but every single thing I ate while at Disney land was pretty fucking bad. I had some barbeque skewers with my dad that were extremely bland, dry, and flavourless. I also had some sort of pink sugary drink that tasted kind of weird. My brother said his hotel burger had a really bad musk to it
