I’m very adventurous eater. But the worst i ever taste is snake blood and scorpion. I taste it in thailand and indonesia. Snake meat itself its fine. But drinking the blood is horrendous (they believe its a medicine).

Both snake and scorpion taste hot in your belly.

I've got a few.

Mr Brain's Faggots

Liver and onions (my Nans specialty)

A green 'superfood' powder that you mix with water. It smelled of anus and I vomited immediately after drinking it.

Squid tentacles - those sucker pads. Again vomited after eating.

The sprout pasta my DP makes as a 'treat'. Tastes like a old cock smells and makes me fart for days.

Brilliant autocorrect here!!
I would imagine old cock does taste disgusting 😂 😂

For all those saying goats cheese, I had goats cheese icecream. Truly disgusting and I like normal goats cheese.

Hare.

We often had rabbit when I was a child, but we had hare once and that was quite different. My sister announced that it smelled like a lavatory. She was right and even my parents couldn't eat it after that!

Davros · 29/09/2022 23:47

Those saying snails should try Heston's snail porridge, lovely!
I like a bit of offal and will try most things but I'm not fond of goat's cheese

I once decided to make my own honey and mustard sauce to marinade chicken in the slow cooker. The recipe called for barely any Dijon mustard so I thought ‘that can’t be right’ and freestyled it. I created a new type of chemical warfare that day. The first hint I had gone astray was when our eyes wouldn’t stop watering while it was cooking. I took one bite and promptly noped right out of there. My dh, who is famous for eating whatever monstrosity I have cooked and proclaiming it delicious, took a tentative bite and disappeared from the table for about 10 minutes - the reasons for which have never been clarified for reasons of politeness. In that time my ds started crying hysterically at the thought of even trying a bite, which soon progressed to even being in the same room as said concoction.

We ordered a pizza.

Goat’s cheese
snails
a fly by accident

Myotherdogsaballboy · 30/09/2022 02:45

I’m pretty un-fussy but goats cheese makes me want to throw up. I remember as a child, a family friend serving cold sardine soup which was greasy and utterly hideous. I’d been brought up to eat what people had made but even my parents who hated to feel they’d offended anyone, didn’t put up a fight when I suddenly claimed I had a (totally fictitious )tummy ache and said I didn’t feel hungry.

vegan chocolate

Steak tartare - I was an idiot, on first holiday with boyfriend at the time. Rural French restaurant, didn’t want to admit that I had no idea what was on the menu. 30 years later the thought still grosses me out.

Not eating, but drinking. The bottles of warm milk, with a little straw, that we had to drink at school.

Durian fruit in Singapore, that stuff is revolting even the smell is foul. Couldn’t get rid of the taste of it out of my mouth.

You beat me too it, smells like old socks that have never been washed, I've never tasted old socks but I imagine they taste like durian.

A snail.

Tripe. Raw tripe, my mum thought it was delicious.

I've never tasted an oyster but I've tried mussels, cockles, other things from a shell so I imagine they are similar. I can't cope with the texture.

Kimchi - Korean fetid cabbage that's buried underground for I don't know how long, I was too busy chucking up to listen to the spiel.

Sardine soup? That sounds like something Mr and Mrs twit would have eaten! Envy

My DDad once added powdered cloves to a Chile con carne instead of chili powder and made us eat it anyway.

Beside that, the rotten fish Beanboozled bean. Feeling hot and sweaty just thinking about it.

coldfeetmama · 30/09/2022 09:04

I'm still laughing at the boingy food

Absolutely perfect description

MrsSkylerWhite · 30/09/2022 09:08

Durian fruit 🤮

Discovereads · 30/09/2022 09:10

I’ve eaten quite a few things under the “disgusting” category

Pigs trotters and eyes
Bull scrotum
Snakes
Snails and frogs
Rats
Squirrels
Dog (wasn’t told until after I’d eaten it)
Chocolate dipped & plain grasshoppers/cicadas
Mexican caviar (live grubs)
BBQ jungle spider
Ants
Sea urchins

All the above I could manage but what I cannot tolerate are eels and lampreys.

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 30/09/2022 09:11

I see durian fruit has been mentioned. A friend of mine brought back some durian "sweets" from a holiday and let us try them. It was a nice hard shell of toffee and then underneath was a piece of the fruit. Good grief!

Discovereads · 30/09/2022 09:12

Tripe isn’t so bad, liver and hearts are yummy.

greenacrylicpaint · 30/09/2022 09:21

dh once cooked a dish that required a tablespoon of rum.
he used mixing rum (80% alcohol) instead of a drinking variety.
it tasted like I imagine hand sanitiser tastes like.

I once are what I thought was a green bean. Turns out it was a very hot chili. I thought I was going to die Grin
