Embroidery.

Separating out all those threads brought on an inner rage and despair I never knew I had.

Gaviscon

This is the winner. Especially the extra thick one.

Jellyfish - it was at a Chinese restaurant.

Another one for oyster, like the lumps in phlegm.
Dr Pepper, poured it down a grid.
Moma in St Ives, although years ago and it may have improved. I'm still angry about that.

Hershey's chocolate. It was particularly horrifying because I threw it confidently into my mouth secure in the knowledge that I had never met a chocolate I didn't like...and then I got a mouthful of vomit that literally made me heave.

"Butyric acid is one of the characteristic, defining smells of a farmyard and also responsible for the stench of vomit. It is also a vital component in the manufacture of American chocolate."

Andouillette. Oh dear.

I came here to say the same!

PeapodBurgundy · 01/07/2023 19:15

Similar to @TheYearOfSmallThings but with Gruyère. I'm normally a huge cheese fan. Had to taste it so I was able to describe the taste before offering free samples to customers in the middle of Sainsbury's back in my uni days. Had to really work at keeping the look of disgust off my face so I could convincingly try to sell the stuff 😂

I love so many of the foods reviled by others, but I was brought up to eat what was on my plate or go hungry - hearts, sweetbreads, etc.
Fussy eating was not an option, as my DC soon learnt.

The worst meal I ever cooked was a Weight Watchers' favourite - Diet Coke Chicken.
The whole family thought it was vile, & it all went in the bin.

MissChanandlerB0NG · 01/07/2023 19:18

Anything wafer.

Especially pink panther wafers. Disgusting

Andouillette. Oh dear.

My Dad 'tricked' me into eating that as a child 🤢 Having tasted it again as an adult I would probably have loved it unstintingly had I come to it with a more mature palate - but it's been forever tainted by the past.

A music festival. Too many people being too irritating and someone trod on my head. Never again.

Lol, I was just coming on to say this. I genuinely thought I could eat - or at least try - anything but that was quite something… I couldn’t even put it in my mouth

Cigars
Tofu
Giving birth (I tried that 3 times just to make sure)

I tried to empty my dogs anal glands rather than taking her to the vet. I was successful in that they were emptied, not successful in my technique and the mess it made.

a heated spin class. Walked out 20 mins in.

SirQuintusAureliusMaximus · 01/07/2023 19:27

Jackfruit nuggets.

Given them free because they'd run out of chicken nuggets.

It should be illegal to sell as food.

wutheringkites · 01/07/2023 19:28

Durian for me too. I could still taste it for days.
