The most disgusting thing you have tasted

[skiny]

Ok, I still havent said what the worst thing I ever tasted was. Believe it or not it was something that was supposed to make my breath smell better.

Years ago I was meeting a woman at a restaurant for dinner. We were both quite busy at the time and decided to hook up there for a meal and then carry on with our evenings. I decided since I was there first, I would use the washroom before she arrived. In this washroom was a coin machine on the wall with condoms and breath fresheners and single use toothbrushes. Yes it was a classy place. Well, since I hadnt eaten yet and she didnt seem like the kind of woman who would require condoms at the diner table, I chose the breath fresheners. I popped the package in my pocket and did my business. After leaving the washroom I noticed she had arrived and had sat at a table. I popped one of the breath fresheners in my mouth and started chewing it up as I sat down across from her. Apparently youre not supposed to chew these things. The warning not to do this should really be a lot bolder on the package. In fact the warning should start with something like Whatever you do Or they should just name them Do not chews I was looking her right in the eyes when I realized these things taste like some kind of mixture of earwax and Varsol. She asked if I was ok. I said Yes And I tossed the pack on the table and said here, chew one of these. She was too smart for me. She refused.

Disaronno

Tried Disaronno liquer, utterly vile - it's liquid, alcoholic marzipan. Nobody warned me. Can still taste it a week later.

Problem is - I've liked most everything I've eaten. I've eaten fried grasshoppers on the streets of Bangkok (yummm - crunchy). Pig brain stew at my in-laws (not bad). Call me anything you want except "late for dinner".

Perhaps it was eleven solid years of good army chow that allows me to appreciate fine cuisine. In the desert, I guzzled three good chugs of kerosene thinking it was water (long story). I was burping it for days.

In the field at Ft. Bragg, one of the cooks spillt diesel fuel in the scrambled eggs. That sucked.

During a survival course at Camp Mackall I watched a guy eat a raw lizard after cutting it's head off (he hadn't eaten for about five days). He kept repeating "Think steak. Think steak. Think steak." before popping the morsel into his mouth. This was a vicarious ewwww.

Hamburgers or anything cooked with Hamburger meat makes me sick. It looks just like cow brains.I will also never eat any seafood/fish just the smell of it makes my Stomach turn.

So...you didn't actually taste it?

I'm jes sayin' cuz the thread's sposed to be the "most disgusting thing you have tasted", not considered tasting even after a fly flew into a particularly choice morsel of pizza and melted into the cheese, and even though you're an Aussie, you couldn't bring yourself to eat the pizza/fly.

What kind of pizza was it? Just curious.

A favorite dish of mine is huevos con chorizo (eggs and chorizo sausage), which is delicious served for breakfast with refried beans and homemade flour tortillas. It's spicey, more so with salsa or jalepenos, very filling and the chorizo melts in your mouth. However, chorizo, mexican sausage made mostly of pork lips, lymph nodes and salivary glands, trends to gross some people out. It's no worse that sweet breads and I think it's much tastier. Some people say it tastes dsisgusting (but only after they're told what's in it, I think!)

Yeah sorry I was thinking and that came into mind I thought it was on the same lines as worst thing so I thought to throw it out there, sorry about that.

Umm, from memory it was a works pizza- had egg in it as well.

Will stick to the subject from now on.

Sorry to any of our Aussie friends out there, but I would have to say the most disgusting food ever invented has to be VEGEMITE.

a medicine

Without a doubt Vancomyacin.

Its an antibiotic. I took it 25 years ago, and it still tops my list. It is made fresh, and must be consumed orally, its a liquid and only lasts 2 weeks , and you can't mix it with anything.

By far the most vile tasting anything I ever put in my mouth. It cost $350 per perscription way back then.. I recall thinking that 1 bottle of it was more money than my rent at the time. I needed 2 refills after the first.

Its what they give for a Staph infection. They told me its the only medicine that will treat Staph. Recently I read they still use it and that there are strains that it wont work on.

My Fiancee's story tops mine though

ICK ICK,

My Fiancee's worst thing was a large cockroach in a burger at a resturant. The minute he tasted his bite he spit it out and has never forgetten the taste or the gross out . The waiter said " do you want another?" Um yeah like he would ever eat a thing there again. Gives me the willies just thinking of it.

That truly is gross. I have problems with finding may foods gross as is. If that ever happened to me, I don't think I could ever eat again.

My worst was a Swedish dish I was assured was a delicacy that consisted of raw fermented fish (herring, I think)

This was not the standard marinated raw fish familiar to most smorgasbord lovers - this was supposed to be something special and traditional.

The smell was almost too awful to get past, and the taste for me was not much better. But my taste buds may have been impacted by that smell! Can't remember the name but I think it sounded something like 'suurstroemie'.

Devilled sheep's kidneys are delicious on toast for breakfast! And the Portuguese-style peri peri chicken livers are a fave for many people.

I like chorizo, too, especially served sizzling in a dish of ignited aguardente (sp?).

Sounds like somthing that is poupular with some of the folks here in the upper midwest called Lutfisk. it is a dried cod cured in lye and reconstitued. It turns out translucient and the smell is ungodly. It makes me think of fish Jello.

Surstrmming

It's actually very good but I agree about the smell. Camembert and Stilton smells like chocolate cake in comparison.
