Raw capsicum (peppers for you Americans) is the only thing I won’t eat. You’d be hard pressed to find a food I won’t eat or try. I can’t even describe the taste, it’s just an assault to my taste buds. Strange thing is roasted capsicum is one of my favourite foods.
texture is my worst enemy as somebody with sensory issues. and i reeaaaaallly want to like cottage cheese because of its high protein to low cal properties. but it made me want to puke the one time i tried it. something about the salty, crumbs(?) texture was just absolutely disgusting to me
Went to this restaurant on the beach, they’re known for their drinks. Asked the server what drink they suggested and was told the one he suggested is very popular. I went for it and instantly regretted it, it tasted like if someone melted a Michael’s store during Christmas and added a bunch of cloves and cinnamon in it. I literally gagged, Sever came back and asked how it was and told him I didn’t expect to have Christmas in my mouth. He offered to replace it but nothing could get that taste out of my mouth. Never again.
There was a specific cheese in France. I can’t remember what animal it came from. All I know is it did not taste like something I should be eating.
It was the strongest taste I’ve ever encountered in my life. Tasted like a mix of vomit and the smell of industrial chemicals that you’d encounter in a garage. Like motor oil and gasoline. And it LINGERED. I’ve never gotten drunk faster after that because of the amount of wine I consumed to try and get rid of the taste of the cheese.
I told an ex that i loved my grandmother’s homemade chicken pot pie, so she tried to make one.
I could not swallow one bite. It was as though she had seasoned it with potpourri. I had to spit it out and could still taste it hours later. I have no idea what spice she used to make it taste like that.
Some friends said I should have grinned and bared it.
Fuck that, then she might have made it again.
Haggis Egg Rolls at a Scottish bar. I didn’t know something could be that bad. Bitter, sour, seasonings I can’t describe. I’m pretty game to try new stuff, but that haggis seasoning combined with the oil from the egg roll wrapper… it would NOT leave my mouth. Horrendous.
cliché, but brussel sprouts. it’s genuinely the only thing i’ve never been able to have anywhere near my taste buds without gagging. it tastes like a rotting ball of pure bitterness.
A century duck egg. I have a thing about finishing food, so I forced myself to swallow one bite, but it was the most heinous thing I’ve ever tasted. The only food that’s actually made me unintentionally retch. It tasted like someone ate shit and puked it up.
I was vacationing in Mexico a couple of decades ago. My wife and I went to a national park to see the wildlife – it was awesome.
There we ran into a Mexican couple who were also touristing around on their vacation, and got to talking. We had a lot in common – they were young professionals who had moved to Mexico City and were doing very well.
The guy mentioned that as part of their vacation they had been back to the tiny village his grandfather had come from. This village was very remote and apparently it had an ancient tradition of making Mezcal, for which it was locally famous. The Mezcal made there was full of flavour, nothing like the bland stuff sold for export.
As we were talking, we were walking back to the car park and our rented car. The guy was getting lyrical about this ancestral booze, and finally invited us to try some! He had a small wooden barrel of the stuff in his trunk, which he was taking back to Mexico City.
After that lead up, how could we refuse? Of course we said we’d try some, and gladly.
So he produces some plastic cups, and pours a generous amount into each.
I took a sip.
My gods, I’ve never in my life before or since tasted anything quite so foul. It was like a dying ogre’s piss, with a hint of rotten skunk and an aftertaste of burning tyres. It was also extremely alcoholic, must have been 60% alcohol.
Meanwhile, the couple were all smiles, “it’s good, isn’t it? I bet you’ve never had anything like it!”
Well, we could truthfully say we’ve never had anything like it – we both struggled to maintain composure, and not spew the vile concoction onto the ground. I forced myself to go into superlatives about how unique and interesting it was – I mean, they meant well, it was important to them, and it would hardly be polite to say it was horrible – but fortunately the alcohol content gave us an excuse to refuse a second helping (“we have a long drive ahead, not used to the strong stuff”) and escape with no hurt feelings!
When I was around 10 years old, I never wanted to eat any deli meat but one day, when no one was around, I decided I was going to give it a shot. I went in the fridge and ate a piece of turkey. It was very slimy and had a bit of a smell. But hey that’s turkey I thought. It was years before I tried deli meat again and some years later when I realized the turkey I ate was expired. I missed out on years of prosciutto!
Those sugar-free gummy bears that were all over Amazon a few years ago. They tasted like artificial sweetener mixed with betrayal, and let’s just say my stomach got its revenge about an hour later.
I’m quite adventurous, I’d say the worst was Surstromming, but it’s not as devastating as people on the internet make it look. I opened it underwater and the smell was bad, but not so repulsive. I had read that the taste was better than the smell though, and it tastes just as it smells, sulphur, ammonia and metallic. And salty. I ate it “the proper way” on bread with potatoes, onions, sour cream and tomatoes, but it’s definitely an acquired taste… that I don’t have interest in acquiring.
Technically I’d have to put gruyere first, worse than surstromming. If I had to choose a dish to eat, gun to the head, between the two I’d eat surstromming. But I guess that’s just my taste.
My wife and I would join several of our friends at a local pub on a regular basis. We always took a whole section ourselves. We purposely had the same waitress every time. This waitress invited most of our group to her wedding/reception. It was an open bar. However, they used the most horrible quality alcohol. It wasn’t even bottom shelf. It was more like basement shelf. I didn’t even finish the one drink I had. Everyone was saying the same thing.
Yesterday I was winging it and threw whatever in the pot to make a soup. All I had was carrots and parsnip so I chopped them up and tossed them into the pot with some bone broth. I was looking for something else to toss in and found an old can of chub mackerel. I cracked that cocksucker open and tossed the 3 meaty fish chunks into the pot. I tossed a few spices in to try and coerce the soup to smell and taste different. A few mins later the carrots and parsnip were soft and the soup was ready to go. I ended up eating most of the mackerel just because I was hungry and picking out the bones was something to do on my lunch break. The rest went into the compost pile. Everything ended up tasting like a mix of fish and wet ashtray. 5/7 wouldn’t do it again.
A full IV bag of to drink was pretty awful. Just finished a training exercise, and they wanted us to practice applying an IVs on eachother. Unfortunately, the Corpsman ran out of needles, so command decided those of us who didn’t get the IV needed to drink it instead smfh. I have a pretty good gag reflex, but the amount of salt in the bags almost made me puke several times, and some did lol
This wasn’t a food but a few years ago I was put on antibiotics. Side effects included (may cause nausea)
I took a pill and immediately my head felt… Wrong. Found my way to the bathroom.
It must have been a whole 30 seconds when my body did a full on NOPE and everything came out of everywhere all at once. Including the whole undigested tablet.
Once I cleaned myself up I actually felt pretty great. Needed more antibiotics though!
That smoothie from the health store that had kale, spirulina, and whatever other trendy green powders they swear by. Tasted like grass clippings mixed with dirt, but you know, good for you.
Comments
Had a type of masala milk, it wasn’t exactly sweet and spicy milk was one of the more violent things on my stomach.
garlic
7Up Gold

Bitter Gourd. It like bitter raddish.
I don’t know if this counts, but one time I ate some of what I thought was yogurt but was actually spoiled milk.
I love sushi, but the sea urchin one makes me want to instantly retch. My body rejected it, as soon as it hit my tongue.
Kombucha. It’s the flavor of dirt, grass, and piss with the fizz of a cheap beer and I hate it.
Malort, tasted like Malort.
Jäegermeister. And it tasted like a night of bad decisions.

Surströmming juice. If ever there was a hell, that poison would be the devil’s jizz.
Anchovies literally taste like ass

Mayo
Blue cheese tastes like salty glue
Mushrooms. Tasted like Mushrooms.
Supermalt. I don’t remember what it tasted like but I binned that shit before I even got back in my car.

This diet drink supplement called Zija. Tasted like what I would imagine a pss-like open sore on a dying opossum would smell like.
A protein shake my gym bro made from raw eggs, kale, tuna water, and something he called “ancient Himalayan fungus.”
It tasted like a sewer rat’s final breath mixed with betrayal.
I aged three years and saw my ancestors shaking their heads.
I hate super sour bamboo.

It was beyond repulsive.
Boba tea.
Eel, more like ew
Liver, tastes very metallic, mushrooms taste like rubbery dirt.

Food: sauerkraut (tastes sour, ugh, horrible texture too)
Drink: any brown liquor (tastes strong like gasoline, horrid)
Durian. The awful smell overcomes the taste.
Durian. Tastes like old sweaty gym socks covered in gasoline.

Root beer
I’m not American and this shit tastes like cough syrup for kids
I think the ginger beer at Aldi tastes like floor cleaner.

Squid Ink Mayonnaise. Fancy schmancy :'( It tasted like highly concentrated green beans.
I like green beans fine. But not in high concentration and not to dip french fries in!

I guess that’s one way to keep the bar tab down.
99% dark chocolate tasted like someone was trying to trick me into thinking it was chocolate.
Fresh spoiled milk.
Yesterday I was winging it and threw whatever in the pot to make a soup. All I had was carrots and parsnip so I chopped them up and tossed them into the pot with some bone broth. I was looking for something else to toss in and found an old can of chub mackerel. I cracked that cocksucker open and tossed the 3 meaty fish chunks into the pot.

Not the worst but I have to take a second to talk about matcha
Why tf do people wanna drink lawn clippings?!
Snails… gross

Vegamite
Sweet Corn soda.
It tastes exactly as advertised, which is unsettling enough. But carbonated corn flavor is disgusting.
