    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 know that people like them but I can’t get past the syrupy intense sweetness, it is nauseating to me. Tastes a lot like a migraine feels. I do like lighter bittersweet stuff, Chinotto soda is good. And do like Campari in fruity drinks, it adds a welcome edge and the sweetness is moderated but Negroni tastes horrible to me still.

        Can you describe what it tastes like to you?

          My friend must make them less sweet than is standard, it’s kind of syrupy but not too bad, maybe a little citrussy and of course that herbal bitterness. I might be an outlier though I’ve been known to sip straight Mallort.

      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.
