Grossest thing you have had to eat

J'adore le mouldy cheese! :D

Everything else listed makes the deep fried mars bar sound appealing :barf:
 
Wow. I really can't compete here.

I have never been in a W&SS situation where a food shortage couldn't be rectified with some fishing. Thankfully!

From a cultural cuisine standpoint, I have to say that Marmite and Vegimite were both highly unpleasant menu items. I'll take bugs and furry things over that goo any day.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention my ex's cooking, which is best described as an assault on flavour.

All the best,

- Mike

Isn't it though? :D

Probably the worst thing I've ever eaten was some Mexican tamarind-based liquid candy. Absolutely foul. Tamarinds look and taste like the scrapings from Satan's filthy butt-hole. Why they chose to make candy out of it is beyond me.
:barf::barf::barf:
 
Rakfisk, and lutefisk.
The rakfisk isn`t bad actually, but the lutefisk is... Not bad either i suppose, if you like bland jellied fish of some sort, served up with potatoes and drenched in porkfat. I don`t, so i think it to be... Yuck.
Give me well-fermented fish any day, over fish that`s been soaked in lye.

My best friend's mom is Korean. I've been served (against my will) kimchi at nearly every meal I ate at their house, and while it is far from a favorite of mine, I think there are much nastier things listed in this thread. I mean, it's basically Korean sauerkraut, and I don't like "western" suaerkraut either.

This same friend has an older brother who was an executive with an international company. He headed up the Asian market for a particular product line and lived in China and other neighboring countries for several years. He had lots of stories of bizarre "honorary" meals- he would swear were concocted as a joke or a test- that he had to eat to "save face".

I am a pretty picky eater. I will try most things within reason once- even if I know I won't like it. But- if I had to eat some of the stuff you guys have described, I would lose face, weight, and probably my previous meal. :barf::o:barf:
 
Recently....

A tuna, bologna and bree cheese samich.

Each is fine on their own, but combined theyre just disgusting. Kind of how like BO and cheap cologne smell way worse combined than they ever could on their own.
 
Rethinking this I have come to realize that the one single, most fowl of the fowl is boiled okra. Holy crap, I have southern relatives who think that is food. I have had the opportunity to do some traveling. I have dinned with the locals of over a dozen country's. I have been served things that still crawled, fermented things, bugs, bats, worms, half developed embryos, but few things that are considered food are as disgusting as boiled okra.
 
Is it just me (and as a New Englander I have the right to say it) but doesn't it seem that boiling things rarely helps them taste better? :D
 
Put me down for boiled duck embryos. Or were they chicken? I dunno. One was plenty. I'd probably do it again.

And something called "rice bugs." Fried insects of some kind that tasted like soggy french fries.
 
I really don't want to talk about it.:(

But after a very long military career, I've had to chow down on a lot of odd crap ... or just go hungry.

Reached the nadir about 15 years ago on the other side of the Middle East. Again, no details, but after the first bite I looked down ... and my meal looked right back at me.:mad:

Urk. That's a realbad memory.:(

EDIT: just read the rest of this sad Thread. My last comment: just say no to natto and lutefisk. Truly disturbing crap from opposite sides of the globe. Just say no.
 
The maggot story from the Nuts & Bolts is still the worst one to me. Just the fact that you didn't realize you were eating maggots...... I would puke and I never puke.
 
Awhile ago I had a filthy, rusty old air conditioner in my bedroom that started to leak condensation into my apartment rather than out the window. Too broke to replace it, I kept a glass underneath it to catch the water. After a heavy night of drinking, I came home, passed out, and woke up groggy and incredibly thirsty. My brain hadn't engaged before my primal instincts did and I ended up grabbing that glass of water and taking a big swig. It was in my stomach before I realized what had happened. Yuck! It stayed down but just barely.

Is that what tapas is? The trendy yuppie bars around here have tapas nights and yahoos pay a cover to get in... guess I'm glad I'm not that hip...

Ummm... why?

I can't think of anything I've eaten that tops what you guys have mentioned. I've had a couple girlfriends who were not-so-great in other ways but luckily they could all cook well.

A "friend" bought me a shot in the bar once, told me to take it all and swish it around my mouth like listerine. OK, fine it didn't taste bad... then all of a sudden it curdled, doubled in volume, and came right back out all over the floor.

Turns out it's called a Cement Mixer, it's Irish cream with a splash of lime juice. The acid makes the cream turn nasty. Not so much a drink as a bad joke to play on someone.
 
lutfisk isn't that bad, so long as you drown it in butter, and who doesn't like butter. My dad loved it, but then he was a smoker for a long time, so I'm not sure if could smell it cooking....... That and pickled herring are two cultural foods I'm willing to leave to my ancestors.

only food to make me puke was a McD's happy meal, in a blender. tasted normal, as all McD's food tastes the same, but it felt like it had been chewed once and should be coming up rather than going down.... cured me of ever having to eat at McD's again, and I've never tried to change my mind.

Ugh... That may be the winner of the thread.

Nasty, bro.
 
I have eatin Deer liver raw, and I have eatin balut. I have eaten raw seal (not bad). None of them I considered "gross" just different.
 
What does balut taste like? The people I know that have eaten it said it actually tastes "not bad"
