Sea urchin sushi.
Thoroughly unrecommended.
It was like someone boiled the souls of a thousand fish down into a paste and then let it ferment underground for a year. I was not prepared.
For the record it was part of a set multi course meal in a fancy Japanese restaurant - I didn’t seek it out in particular.
I grew up hating a lot of vegetables because my grandfather - who I’m sure meant well - used to boil the life out of them. Green beans or broccoli would be soft, mushy, and greyish (while the water became green), and taste like unseasoned sadness.
One day when I was in grade school in the year nineteen eighty-bad, the cafeteria served hot dogs which had gone greyish and we were all told it was fine. They smelled awful and made a bunch of kids sick.
Bitter gourd curry. Was so so so bitter. I’ll bet it tastes different to different folks.
Reminds me of a migraine medicine. I have to eat candy for a few hours after taking that.
There’s a local grocery store chain here that has the most bland tasting everything in their prepared food counter. You’ve never eaten such tasteless food in your life. Poor seasoning? Try none at all. Everything tastes like cardboard.
Want to simulate what it’s like to eat food as a 30 year long habitual chain smoker, shop at Freson Bros.
Kellogg would cum his pants on the spot discovering such blandness could exist.
Their potato salad gave me depression. I didn’t know you could make a calzone taste like the box it came in.
I actually like the taste of unseasoned food.
I need to try this now
Either live octopus or raw stingray. The former is chopped up and dipped in spicy sauce to make it writhe. The latter absolutely reeks of piss (stingrays are full of ammonia apparently). Silkworm larva are surprisingly delicious.
I think rays are one of those animals that urinate through their skin, like sharks
That would explain the smell and the taste. The one upside to this is that stingray meat never really goes “bad”. It pickles itself. Which as I understand it is the reason people started eating it despite the awfulness.
almost ate raccoon that dads friend caught in traps.
Ordered indian takeout from a place in thr UK. The butter chicken tasted like they cooked a frozen chicken breast and strained a can of Spaghetti Os sauce over it.
Kimchi.
When I was in my twenties I met this girl. I got really sick, and she wanted to impress me and made soup. She knew nothing about cooking.
She boiled a chicken, did not separate anything. Chopped up a head of parsley and threw it in.
Then she served it to me with glistening eyes and a hopeful look. “I want you to feel better, I made soup for you”.
It was just basically grey chicken fat with bones, cartilage, skin floating in it.
Was your sickness related to your soap eating?
No that only lasted until I was about 10 years old
Did you poop bubbles?
you’re becoming annoying at this point
Aaaaand blocked
Mashed potatoes from KFC. It just tastes like an empty sadness.
Olives
Raw? Pickled? Black? Green? Whole? Pitted? Garlic stuffed?
All of the above.
The first thing that comes to mind are these frozen turkey burgers. They weren’t offensive but they were so flavorless. Nothing I added to them made them palatable. It was the damnedest thing.
Chick-fil-A. Soggy, rubbery chicken. So fucking gross.
I have had some truley awful CFA sandwiches. When they are good they are fine. But Everytime I go to one it is really hit or miss. So why bother?
I made pancakes once. I didn’t know the difference between baking powder and baking soda. It tasted like chewing aluminum foil or licking a 9v battery.
I’m generally not allowed in the kitchen.
I was warned off natto.
It’s funny, I can think of the worst drink (I dislike Negroni to the point I don’t even understand how people like it, so intensely sweet and bitter and nothing else)
and the worst perfume (Im Nebbel, smelled like burning rubber) but food, all I can think of is the time my ex made a spaghetti with a sauce of yellow tomatoes that looked exactly like vomit, and when I was trying to eat it, commented that he thought it was “a little loose” and I just lost it, could not eat it, though it didn’t taste awful.
Worst restaurant food was a Mexican place in San Antonio, got a chicken mole and the mole was made with sweetened chocolate chips; an enchilada with American cheese slice was another highlight of that meal, it was comically bad.
I did not find Nattō that bad actually. You need to spread it out over enough rice.
That said, I had a dish recently, stir fried prawn with Thai “stinky beans” that reminded me of Nattō somehow. To be fair they did warn me that it really was stinky when I tried ordering it. I insisted to try it anyway. It was really difficult to get down. It really did stink on my plate. I had to carefully ensure that no spoonful had to much of the bean mush. It was salty and gave the impression of decay.
