What is some gross food you have had before?

Tonight I had a couple bites of Bear Country Creek beer and cheese macaroni and cheese. I don’t know, but I guess I didn’t expect it to taste exactly like beer and cheese. But it tasted like straight up beer. It was the grosset mac and cheese I’ve ever had.

I had some budding corn beef a couple years ago. I took one bite then I actually had my mom stop the car so I could spit it out. Not sure if it went bad or if it was supposed to be that way.

There was also this Russian drink I bought that I thought was Russian cola. I’m not sure what it was but it was for sure not cola. I automatically spit it out on the garage floor.

I can not physically eat tuna

it smells disgusting

it looks disgusting

it tastes.... yep, disgusting

cabbage, too- and sprouts.

and as for drinks, I don't think you can get a lot worse than tomato juice. it is disgusting

I still can't stand the smell of Parmesan cheese. But it's a good thing I don't eat dairy anymore. Blech.

I remember getting some of that powder Parmesan cheese on the palm of my right hand and I tried licking it off and it tasted so bad. For years I swear I could still smell it on my hand.

Omg, you have named about half of my diet staples!

The worst thing i ever ate was a burger king breakfast croissanwich. I had to work on a saturday so i bought one. I was sorry!

I left work early a few times as a result of McDonald’s breakfast. It just makes me super tired and then nauseated after.

I had it a couple weekends ago and I immediately went home and took an hour nap despite being fine and sleeping through the night before.

I like almost anything. I'm willing to try new things too. I don't like kale. And I'm on the fence about Brussel sprouts. I guess it depends on how it's prepared. I like California Rolls but I can't stomach Sushi. Sometimes I like lima beans, but for the most part, I try to stay away from them. Oh, I can't eat lemon chicken. I think the lemon ruins it.

Ive tried a mcdonalds breakfast sandwich 3 times, separated by years, different stores, and every time i immediately run to the john. So thats a definite no-go (or yes-go?!) for me!

Im weird, i love lima beans. I prefer frozen, but i will eat canned.

Im kinda doing the Starch Solution right now, only plus coffee and shortbread cookies for breakfast! I cant be perfect, im human!

My stepdad used to make this Russian soup....No idea what it is actually called we always just call it Russian Soup, and I never could get myself to like it. Same with Saag Paneer. I'm not the most adventurous eater, I'll try most anything but can't promise I'll like it, but my stepdad will eat anything and my dad is the pickiest eater I know.

Most things taste good to me but when I was in Rome years ago, one of the locals wanted me to try drinking campari. I took one sip & couldn't get even another sip down. Grossest flavored drink I have ever tried

[bird is the word]

I bought seaweed chips at World Market and as you can probably imagine...disgusting.

Yes, exactly @Mountaindewed! It's evil! 🤣👍

[Soupe du jour]

I've traveled (and in some cases lived) in different countries around the world. Though all had a number of delicious food options, there have been some that I definitely disliked. A few include:

Taiwan:

• Chou doufu (this is translated to "Stinky tofu"). The tofu is fermented and takes on a slightly brown color. The smell, as the name states, is pretty ripe. It's certainly an acquired taste.
• Dorian fruit. This large fruit has a rather unappealing smell, and like many other ripe smelling foods, sort of tastes as it smells. Again, an acquired taste.
• A particular Taiwanese pastry that includes salty dried pork on it. I am not overly fond of several Taiwanese/Chinese pastries, even though many look quite delicious. But one that has the salty dried (hairy-looking) pork on it is particularly unappetizing to me. The first time I tried it, I even found a bone in it.
• Salty mini fish. I'm not sure what type of fish they are, but they are very small and prepared with tons of salt. I would definitely not try them again.
• Oyster omelet. In the city of Tainan, oysters are popular. I'm not overly fond of oysters, but very much disliked them in a particular omelet I tried. I think some of the other ingredients in it were also unappetizing to me. But again, many there love it.

China:

• Some of the same foods above that are in Taiwan are available in parts of China P.R.C.
• Thousand year eggs. I wouldn't exactly gag from it, but it's not my favorite by a long shot. I do like their "tea eggs", but the thousand year eggs are different. They are kind of marinated (in a sense) in a clay for a long time. They look interesting, but aren't worth it, in my view.
• I sure wouldn't eat bat meat.

Czech Republic/Central Europe:

• I dislike what they call "blood sausage". Hint, it includes lots of blood from the animal, which is surely pork.
• Super ripe cheeses (i.e. Czech beer cheese, another cheese I forget the name of, German Limburger, and the like.)
• Toast with fried lard on it. The taste is actually not bad, especially the "brown bits", but the thought of eating lard does get to me, even though in some ways it's not so much worse than butter.
• Headcheese. It's actually not THAT bad, but isn't that great either. Usually served with lots of onion, white vinegar, and sweet paprika. I leave that to my Czech husband. Note: It's not cheese. It's pig parts (including meat from the head, etc.) chopped and molded with natural gelatin into a sliceable deli type meat food product.
• Carp. Lousy-tasting fish. Even worse is that my husband likes it fried with anchovy paste on it.

USA:

• Ham salad. I always hated it.
• Dried/chipped beef or hamburger gravy on toast (aka S.O.S. or "***** on a Shingle"). Never liked them.

Innards (liver, kidneys, heart) and snapping turtle or tripe soup. Definitely not my cup of tea. Nor am I fond of brain (sweet breads) or the fish called shad, which is a big deal in my childhood hometown. Not only is shad unappetizing, but sometimes people even eat shad roe, which is even yuckier. What they do is to fry the roe, often with bacon or some other add-in. Truly only an acquired taste!

Peru:

• Guinea pig. The actual meat is not THAT bad tasting. However, it is usually prepared whole (with fur removed). Seeing the whole creature on your plate is unappetizing. Since the meat is less than delicious, it's not anything I would try again.

Obviously, I do give foods a fair shake.

Tried a bite of horse sandwich in Europe and one bite of ostrich in Australia, that’s it one bite. Do enjoy eating octopus and clams if fresh, and learned to like these in Europe.

[pliepla]

In Istanbul, I had something that translated as "calf's fourth stomach liner soup" which tasted like fermented grass. Luckily it was just the entrée and it was followed by the "mixed lamb platter" which included liver, stomach, brain, intestine, testicle and an eye. I hated the soup but, given the opportunity, I would gladly have one of those lamb platters again.

Things with chillies in them. Not for me, thanks. Too hot.

I have tried oats porridge with water instead of milk..
