What is the worst thing you have ever eaten? - Share the yuck

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I'm trying to think of stuff but it's hard.

- Stuff that I didn't appreciate as a kid
- Stuff that I ate as part of contests and/or hazing rituals
- Stuff that was obviously bad (prepared wrong/gave food poisoning)
- Stuff that I ate but really shouldn't have
- Stuff that's just processed food but tastes genuinely bad
- Stuff that wasn't actually food
 
I was a little put off the first time I tried takoyaki due to the texture of the octopus meat, but I think the worst thing I've eaten is either beef liver or tongue.

I think it was when I stopped over in Brunei on my way back home from the other side of the world. This was about 20 or so years ago so my memory may be a little rough but the hotel I was staying at had this buffet, didn't know what anything was as it only had native writing in labels but I got a shock when I saw fish heads staring back at me. Had to have been fish head curry. Noped out of that right away (though now I kinda wish I had tried it) because after I tried - what I assume were egg rolls or lumpy eggs and jesus, they had to have been the nastiest things I'd ever eaten. Think something you just found in your freezer that's been sitting there for 10 years. Ate only some plain noodles because I didn't trust anything else.

Other than that, recently some of those American pickles? You know, those big ones that come in singular colourful wrappers. Why the fuck do they taste like swimming pool water?

A family member killed a wild bore on the ranch and Mom decided to smoke and preserve the hams using my great grandfather's recipe. Remember 1800's no refrigeration as preserving so the salt levels were impressively high.

Mom smoked it for a good couple weeks in the smokehouse along with some venison jerky. (Venison jerky is really nice.).

Come Christmas Mom uses the recipe of sauna smoked ham that I learned while in Finland. Remember the salt used to preserve; well Mom did not wash the ham at all. It was like eating a salt block. No one ate it. That Christmas we went vegetarian. Not sure what happened to the rest of the bore but very gamey meat.

Some shirataki noodles with watered down tomato paste as spaghetti sauce and boiled beets on the side. No seasoning, no salt, beets weren't washed beforehand because "boiling kills the germs". Y2k/crunchy diet culture had an iron grip on my mom.

That's fucking horrific.

I was anorexic in my Youth, so I have seen some dire meals. Sriracha ice, sugar-free pudding cut with 75% water, etc. But the horrors someone can produce with shirataki noodles are basically unmatched. They have a special degeneracy in their taste and texture impossible to reproduce, no matter how much you rinse them.

When I was a kid I often visited a Russian friend’s home, and they served this soup called okroshka.
My whole life I’d eaten pretty much anything I had been offered as a guest because otherwise would be rude; I sprinted out just to spit the first spoon of it out
You like soup? You like your soup cold? With the texture of drowned salad with a dash of sand to grind in your teeth? First come first serve

I was no stranger to russian and german food but thank god it was just stuff like shchi and leber sauer. Uncooked veg in some sour milk sounds like vomit fuel.

Outside of outright rotten shit, probably Balut, from the Philippines,it's a hard boiled egg with a embryo in it. I had it during a "deployment" (I put that in quotes for our other military kiwis, they get it.) to Asian ally territories. Maybe it was just the one I had but it unsettled me a lot.

Pumpkin pie that had Carnations Instant Breakfast Vanilla as a substitute for condensed milk.
The same person* also used chocolate milk in mashed potatoes, b/c milk is milk right? Lol.
Oh and macaroni and cheese soup. add 2 cups of milk instead of 1/4 cup.

Eggplant is perhaps the single most disgusting vegetable in existence, it's skin is like being in chewing purgatory and the flesh makes me gag.

Gluten free pasta is an utter abomination and insult to the country of Italy. Containing the pure essence of disappointment and sawdust, which in an intricate dance, transform anything it touches to landfill.

Plant based meat. The less said about this the better.

And by their powers combined they form...

...the most dogshit """lasagna""' to have ever existed. It didn't even have cheese in it.
