Unexpectedly disgusting food

Just been reading the unexpectedly amazing food thread, and thought I'd post about food that I thought would be nice but wasn't.

The slimming world beef stroganoff from Iceland- it looked lovely on the packet, and smelt quite nice while it was cooking- but it tasted awful, really watery with a weird aftertaste

Wensleydale with cranberry- again, it looked nice, but tasted like vomit

I love a lot of things that have been vilified here but the thing I cannot stand is green tea. Tastes like bad fish to me

Shit didn't realise Nestle were such bast*rds, I looked it up to see what you were on about. Where the hell have I been.

Yep there have been ongoing campaigns against them. I've happily avoided them for at least a decade. :)

Anything Nestle or Nestle subsidiary tastes of slavery, infant death and exploitation. Just don't eat it. Gross although you have to read labels to avoid them as they own everything Kraft and Coca Cola don't!

Quorum is solidified wallpaper paste and tofu is solidified semen .

Couldn’t have put it better myself ( I also think the olives are solidified semen too but mouldy gone off green semen 🤣)...

I do love how everyone is different, I think halloumi is gorgeous (eps but I can easily understand why food shouldn’t squeak

Coriander- agree that it is the work of the devil
Olives - just no!!!!
Chickpeas - baked beans are better
Sushi - work of the sea devil
Spinach - yuck
Avocado - posh yuck
Tofu and quinoa- vegan yuck

Basically anything that is “trendy” and us as millennials should eat, I can’t stand! I’m sure there’s many more to add to this!

Are you eating tofu and quinoa straight out of the packet?!

MARINATE YOUR TOFU, PEOPLE!! If it tastes bland, you're doing it wrong! Grin

A beautiful-looking Victoria sandwich cake from an expensive farm shop - it tasted of nothing but margarine. I didn't learn my lesson and still keep buying cake that is nowhere near as nice as those I can bake myself.

I made my own scones at the weekend, for the first time. They beat every single scone I've ever eaten, from supermarket cheapy brands to ones I had in a posh Devon tearoom. I am never buying them again.

Jasmine tea - I poured in the hot water and the kitchen was instantly filled with the smell of wet dog.

Oh, and lumpfish caviar. In hindsight anything that has the word 'lumpfish' in it is probably giving you a hefty clue that it's going to taste of oily rancid fish. Boak.
