The top 2 worst things ive ever eaten were both dishes involving homemade gravy.

One was my grandma that would always try to get me to try her homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, but ended up making the pre packed brown gravy mix for me because I was a spoiled little shit.

The other was staying the weekend at a friend's house when I was younger and his mom asked me if I liked biscuits and gravy, I told her how much I loved them so she made extra for me, I didn't realize that other people besides my grandma could make gravy taste gross, but I didn't want to be rude so I forced myself to eat the worst tasting dish of my life.
 
Head cheese. I haven't heard of anyone under like 70 who enjoys it. It's absolutely vile.

Just to add since I didn't see a worst drink thread: Barrel Aged Malört. Straight up tasted like burnt vomit. Regular Malört is pretty gross but not like that shit.

Honestly Indian food. I violently puked and shit so much the next day my sides/ribs ached for a week.
Same. I figured I'd be safe if I made it at home, plus it was butter chicken or some mild dish. I can't exactly remember. Anyways, my stomach was fucked the next day. Sucked bad enough that I'm not eating Indian anything beyond naan ever again.
 
Some kind of exotic european mayo my mother thought it would a fancy shit to eat.

It sure was shit alright.
 
I have two.
Carnival pad thai. It was the cheapest thing there, and one of my friends got it, saying it was good. I had never had pad thai before, but I thought I'd give it a go. It smelled of garbage juice and all I could taste was peanut oil. I finished it, but I was not happy about it.
This next one was just pure disappointment. I was at a beach over the summer, and among all the arcades and the shops selling Hawk Tuah and Donald Trump appearal, one stood out to me the most. A massive candy store. Their "specialty" was fudge, which they advertised by displaying the mammoth bricks of varying flavors in the front window. I got two half-pound slabs of different flavors at the wallet-raping price of ±eighteen dollars a slab. The flavors? Didn't matter, because they both tasted like I had ladled a heap of sugar into my mouth. Completely inedible.
 
Out of the things I have eaten that are meant for human consumption, my highschool served this horrible salad with slices of salami in it. The salad had somehow drained out all the flavor in the salami and the meat just tasted like chewy water. The salad was covered in moisture that tastes like salami, so the lettuce tasted meaty. For years after I ate that whenever I thought about it I would get the flavor in my mouth and shudder.

One of the strangest foods I've ever had was from this guy, I think he went by the name Patrick. He was hanging out outside a chubby's cheesesteak and gave me this pepperoni that tasted like fried chicken and watermelon. When I asked what it was made out of he accused me of being a 'stalker child' and started to speed waddle away, not unlike a penguin, before his pants fell down and he tripped, exposing his protruding gut.

Boiled peanuts. Wife bought a can for giggles after all the boiled peanut stands we saw on our last vacation. It was basically slime with mush at the center.
You should've bought by the side of the road. I can't imagine canned ones, but I love a bag of warm boiled peanuts out of the back of some 50-yo pickup truck parked on the shoulder in the pine flats in the middle of nowhere....

I've made them myself - had to special order green peanuts bc we don't have them where I am. They were pretty awesome - took forever (like days, not hours) to get fully cooked, but worth it. But I had made too much for one person (my kids, young then, refused to try them, the traitors) and so about 1/2 of the batch ended up going bad. :-/

Canned sounds wretched.

I once made a grilled cheese. My usual. Sourdough bread, butter, muenster. Ate it without incident.

Discovered later that night that the cheese had started to mold.
I've taken a swig of milk from the container (I live alone, no one cares, and I am otherwise very civilized :-) ) only to realize it was curdled, chunks and all. I'd say lesson learned about not taking 2 seconds and using a glass, but it happened more than once, so clearly I did not.

...

When I was a child, my mother frequently served steamed carrots. No seasoning, no glaze, not good like carrots cooked in a stew or with a roast - just plain bald baby carrots. Oversweet, quite mushy, terrible. They made me (literally and I mean literally) gag at the dinner table, at which point my father would get annoyed and tell me to stop "putting on" (= faking/exaggerating). My pleas for any kind of substitute (except green limas) went unheeded. Can't count how many times I was left sitting alone at the table after dinner, just me and my now-cold disgusting soft carrots, for an hour or more until I had wretched my way through nibbling enough, or their patience had worn thin enough hearing me wretch from the next room, and they released me.
