Tête de veau and andouillettes.
I'll try everything once but the first is just jelly with cartilage, reminding you it used to be a face.
The second is offal sausage that smells like the intestines weren't washed out properly.
I ordered andouillette in a Paris restaurant once not knowing what it was. I had a little dictionary with me (pre-internet) that translated it as "chitterlings". I didn't know what that was either.
Never again - it had chopped-up bits of rubbery guts on it that resisted chewing, it was vile.
Oh
Headcheese?
Do people still buy it? Damn. Only old people did when I worked deli, and that's long enough ago that they're all dead.
PB&J sandwiches. I hate them. They literally make me gag. Can’t stand the taste, the texture, the smell… even the sight of them or hearing them being made bugs me. An assault on all five of my senses.
Most people who think they hate peanut butter hate soybean oil.
I know objectively that it doesn't matter, but I'm finding it really hard not to judge you as a person.
Hard to say. I tend to opt for safe things most of the time. Twice as a child I was conned into taking a spam fritter under the belief it was fish. I like battered fish. It was not fish. I do not like spam.
Texture-wise, I cannot abide kidney. Used to love steak and kidney pies but something changed when my adult teeth came in.
Thirdly, I still have flashbacks to a serving of whitebait I ordered out of curiosity in a restaurant one time. They didn't taste terrible that I remember. Just... whole little fish cooked and to be eaten whole. Never again.
And then there was the case of the Kit-Kat that I was eating blind, piece by piece from my coat pocket, and one of the pieces was hard and unpleasant. I am still not sure there wasn't something else in my pocket that I grabbed and ate by mistake, but that's pretty up there.
I hated kidneys for a long time because the first time I ate one (served with a mixed grill) I thought it was a mushroom. I love mushrooms and saved it to the end. Put the whole thing in my mouth and it was so much not mushroom that I couldn't face kidneys for years afterwards. I very much enjoy a steak and kidney pudding now though (has to be proper steamed suet pastry).
And I love whitebait!
From memory , worst → least worst
Properly prepared or improperly prepared?
I had a chicken sandwich once that was still pink in the middle... Disgusting!
