What is the most awful food you have eaten?

[leaserspottedmummybird]

Just that really.
Dp once made burgers bulked out with weetabix that were vile and ended up in the bin🤮 and also a slow cooker beef and veg stew with water and no stock.
I once made a Chinese tofu vegan dish from an American cookbook that looked like cat 🐈 sick and also went straight into the bin without a taste( brave dp tasted it and said it was ok)

I also made a tuna lasagne from a budget cookbook that was rank.

I love cooking and trying new foods. But that has come with some mishaps along brie way. Most memorable was a vegetarian stew with okra. Spent ages making it. One taste and I gagged. Okra is VILE.

A greek fish stew that had great reviews. It was bland and the potatoes were raw. OH tried to feign his love for the dish but we threw it away and ordered takeaway. Another was chicken Bolognese from one of DS's weaning books. A bland, watery soup type mixture with some pasta floating around. We literally had to drain some of the water out of the bowls. Only had a few mouthfuls.

OH tried a dish once with baked pasta. Bit into it and it was still raw. I had stomach troubles for a few days

Not one I tried (was vegetarian at the time) but will always remember - I used to work in a home for adults with learning disabilities. One of the carers was polish and used to come up with some weird concoctions. One day, she decided to make the weekly Sunday roast. It consisted of salmon, tinned stewed steak, a sausage, carrots, parsnips, chips, salad, pickled onions, beetroot, coleslaw and gravy (sure there were some other bits). She genuinely thought it was lovely traditional roast and looked proud of it. Even one of the service users who licked her own faeces on occasion (no lie) wouldn't eat it. It was from.

My family has some strange eating traditions. When somebody is ill they are fed garlic lemonade 😬

Taco Bell 🤢

Guinea pig in Ecuador 😩

Agree Dowser. I had high hopes when one opened in Croydon but it's awful. It's like slop in a wrap.

Jellyfish salad in a Chinese restaurant. It was like eating cartilage... slimy, chewy and crunchy all at the same time.

Caviar.

A poached pear salad.

The sliced poached pear had clearly been pre-poached, frozen and then defrosted in a microwave.

The slices quite literally looked like brown slimy wet slugs. My 3 year old at the time, as the waitress put my plate on the table, said "eurgh, why you got slugs on your dinner mummy!"

The worst part though is, I suffer with molluscophobia. Being served a slug salad is an actual fucking nightmare for me!

Taco Bell in the states is yummy.

Lived in Indonesia, national dish Nasi Goring, disgusting

I love liver, really cheap meal with bacon, mash and onion gravy.

Taco Bell in the US is amazing.

It's a bit less amazing in the UK.

Bean Crock
It's a traditional Jersey meal made by boiling up beans into a grey mush.
It's about as good as it sounds.
I had it with a family I was visiting in Jersey and they all loved it. It was a family favourite
Ugh!!

If Taco Bell in the US is considered amazing by comparison with the UK, then remind me never, ever to try a British Taco Bell.

Tapioca
Blancmange
Semolina

Instant vom inducers 🤢

Oysters

Paua fritter. Hard, gritty, nasty greasy things.

Lamprey. I had the tiniest tiniest bit and was heaving over the loo within seconds.

A dish at a restaurant in Granada, rice covered in tomato sauce with a quite soft fried egg on top - the egg was unannounced. I never eat fried eggs anyway.

Also tasted kimchee once, wish I hadn't.

Not exactly awful-I had a fajita meal in a Tex-Mex restaurant on Tenerife. The vegetables are usually peppers, onions etc. This one had what looked like leftover vegetables from a roast. Carrots, green beans and sweetcorn. Very odd.

Smoked Eel. Crocodile. Kangaroo.

All at the same place on a 'tasting' menu. Should have called it a 'Tasting of Shit' menu. Disgusting.

I did have an interesting baguette at a pub in north Wales once. Instead of roasted veg (with hummous), they put in boiled veg like broccoli and carrots etc.

Not the absolute worst but my step mum was a bloody awful cook and she once served up bacon steaks which had cooked all day in the slow cooker without any liquid. They were like boot soles.

NRTFT but vegan cheese.

I am vegan. I embrace it, but have issues with the cheese (and cream).

Intestine soup in Turkey. As bad as it sounds.

Some sort of cracker the Thai restaurant gave us in our takeaway. I figured it'd be a sweet like the fortune cookies we get when we get a Chinese but it was so far from that. Vile and...fishy...and yet a bit like dishwater smells.

brain - unspecified cold bits of brain in a salad in Morocco

Harvester's "spaghetti bolognese". I've never sent anything back so fast. Heinz do a much better one in a tin, and I've smelt better tinned dog food.

Apparently everyone sent it back without fail.
