What is the worst tasting thing you have ever put in your mouth?

[aikoaiko]

I'm curious about what makes people go "eww".

[aikoaiko]

1. I'll go first.... Natto

Japanese Natto which is fermented soy beans. It sounds good, but my body would not let me swallow.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. LOL- that's my choice as well!

[hippywife]

48. That just looks

slimy and inedible. Ewww!

:hi:

[XemaSab]

54. FTW

with fish aspic a close second.

[Kali]

57. not much in the back of the fridge that is grosser than rotten beans

:puke:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

104. Wait.

It SOUNDED good? You heard Fermented Soy Beans and you thought, oh that sounds like something I MUST HAVE? :wtf:

[mikeytherat]

2. Limburger cheese. I figured that it HAD to taste different from the smell.

I was wrong.

mikey_the_rat

[aikoaiko]

5. I like stinky cheese that burns the tongue a little, but Limburger is not one of my favorites.

[mikeytherat]

7. I love strong, sharp cheese. But limburger...

mikey_the_rat

[Mopar151]

6. Mom and Mrs. Mopar both adore stinky cheese

blue, gorgonzola, roquefort, razor sharp cheddar - they're in. We brought a piece of Limberger to Moms at Christmas... Now Mom is a fervent composter and recycler, and there is NEVER trash around.
After one taste, Mom (!) fired the cheese, and it's package out the back door, left to rot in the snowbank 'til spring!

[elleng]

8. Agree. Dislike ALL blue cheeses.

[hobbit709]

3. Pickled sparrow in Italy.

[aikoaiko]

4. wow. I bet that was weird. feathers and beak too, I bet.

[hobbit709]

11. No feathers, but all the other parts were there.

[Forkboy]

10. Scrapple.

[aikoaiko]

12. "everything but the oink"

I like scrapple with eggs.

[Forkboy]

32. I'll try not to hold that against you.

;)

[KamaAina]

92. Eggs?!

That I never heard of. Back in Bawlmer, scrapple is served with ketchup -- never maple syrup (??), as the heathen Pennsylvanians do.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. Back when I smoked, I once lit the filter end of the cigarette.

I think I had that taste in my mouth for DAYS.

[aikoaiko]

15. Yeah, I did that once or twice. For some reason my crowd tuned one cig up in the flip top box

and inevitably, I would put that thing in my mouth backwards and light the butt. eww

[Brickbat]

14. Nyquil. Oh, and children's aspirin -- the nasty orange crap.

[Kali]

53. oh I LOVE children's aspirin!

those little orange Johnson and Johnson ones from the 60's? do they still make them? My parents had to hide those things well!

never tried Nyquil but it sounds nasty.

now for medicines that make me gag - sucrets and "cherry" cough syrup :puke:

[begin_within]

119. When I was a kid,

St. Joseph Aspirin for Children came in a little glass bottle, and I loved the orange flavor. Because of the name, I thought it was made by God.

[bif]

16. Okra

[murielm99]

58. Oh boy, do I ever agree.

It tastes like warm snot.

[aikoaiko]

72. I love it fried. But I respect your distaste for it.

[sarge43]

17. I took a swallow from a can of soda that someone had used as a butt can.

I said something somewhat worse than "eww".

[aikoaiko]

19. yes, I did something similar. it was unforgetable.

[sarge43]

29. On the plus side, it's something you'll never do again. n/t

[May Hamm]

76. Oh GROSS!

I know because I did that once. Gross!

[Old Troop]

18. My foot! On way too many occasions.

[LucySky]

20. His name was Spencer.

[aikoaiko]

33. eww

[LibDemAlways]

91. Instant oatmeal that apparently had gone bad. That and spoiled milk. n/t

[YellowRubberDuckie]

105. LOL

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

21. Soylent Green

:puke:

[aikoaiko]

35. Soylent Green is real?!!

[madinmaryland]

43. IT'S PEOPLE!

[aikoaiko]

44. Doh!

[surrealAmerican]

22. I ate some dried plantains that were oiled ...

... and the oil had gone rancid. They were absolutely horrible (and I'm very fond of plantains).

[aikoaiko]

67. are they normally tasty? i bet rancid oil tastes like ass. eww

[HipChick]

23. Marmite...

[aikoaiko]

34. I've never had it (or Vegimite). Men at Work made it sound exotic and tasty.

[GoCubsGo]

45. It's an acquired taste.

One which I never acquired. I had a British housemate for a while. He always kept Marmite around. I tried it. It was salty and kind of meaty-flavored. I didn't care for it at all.

[quakerboy]

62. Neither is worth eating

Whatever they are served with would be tastier without.

Then again, you may not want to listen to me, as I would say the same about virtually any condiment you might care to name.

[abq e streeter]

24. Hookah water with ice and lemonade mix........don't ask (because then I'd have to try to explain

and it's just too stupid to)

[Kali]

56. ...

:rofl:



:hi:

[tigereye]

97. ding ding ding! We have a winner for the most intriguing?

answer! :rofl: You take the cake!

[mzteris]

25. Durian candy...

it's made from a chinese fruit called Durian.

It's the most vile thing ever. Sort of like honey mixed with gasoline mixed with assorted nasty bodily fluids...

[aikoaiko]

36. Ok, that sounds really bad.

I'll have to try it if I ever come across it.

[solara]

26. Used water from one of those little brass water pipes...

the very essence of vile.


:hi:

[aikoaiko]

37. yeah, I sipped bong water once. Vile is a good descriptor.

[solara]

60. They told me that drinking that water would .. um... make me feel even better

But it was a total buzz-kill


:crazy:

[Mopar151]

116. Dey wuz lyin....... n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

27. Gasoline.

[aikoaiko]

39. I did that once when trying to syphon gasoline from car's tank....

I found the experience unpleasant.

[May Hamm]

79. The taste of gasoline is something you don't forget very soon

It takes forever to get that out of your mouth.

Do people still siphon gas as much as they used to or have I just gotten old and run with a different crowd now?

[Gold Metal Flake]

93. Well, from time to time...

I do, when the source is small (like a motorcycle tank). But mostly these days I use http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Grade-Jiggler-Shaker-Siphon-Hose/dp/B003N2UW1O">one of these.

[Mopar151]

117. Awesome tool!

My Dad called it the Oklahoma Gold Card

[Gold Metal Flake]

121. One must only use it for good.

[NoGOPZone]

28. Bitrex. nt

[aikoaiko]

40. Woah, You had bitrex directly? I can't even imagine.

[snagglepuss]

30. Canned Shad. Absolutely dreadful and it took forever for the oily after taste to

disappear. I shiver thinking about it.

[Sky Masterson]

31. Acetone

Or was it a Rush song? :hide:

[aikoaiko]

42. Rush.

;)

[RobinA]

38. Black Licorice

also Cod Liver Oil

[aikoaiko]

41. I hate Black Licorice too. I have no idea why they still make jelly beans in that flavor

I end up picking them out and tossing them.

Vile turds of Satan, they are.

[nolabear]

50. +1 How can humans eat that stuff??

[tigereye]

98. I love those! they are my favorites!

I can eat them all day long. To each his own, I suppose.

[BlueJazz]

46. Mary Simmons

[hippywife]

47. Golden Hominy.

Spit it right back out on the plate in a split second! LOL Since that time, I went to a friend's house for dinner. She and her husband are both from Mexico and he had made posole. I looked at the hominy in it and what could I do? I had to eat it just to be polite, but I loved, loved, loved the soup! I still won't eat the hominy any other way, tho. LOL

:hi:

[aikoaiko]

73. first time i hate it was in menudo. It was close between the tripe and hominy.

thanks for sharing :hi:

[pscot]

49. Pluck

AKA sheeps lung.

[aikoaiko]

74. never had. Is it a scottish thing?

[pscot]

87. It was in a bar in Munich

If you aren't sure what the menu says, ask.

[aikoaiko]

89. do you mind describing the texture? I imagine it spongy.

:shrug:

[pscot]

108. This was a pinkish, opaque but vaguely translucent liquid

in which lay (I won't say floated) a sort of dumpling. The liquid had a slimey feel and beneath the surface drifted white, squiggly, tube-like things with the texture of surgical tubing. As I left, about 30 seconds later, a bunch of old German guys were sitting there grinning from ear to ear.

[stevenleser]

51. I'm actually pretty impressed with this thread. Had to look up 5 entries.

I feel educated!

[zen_bohemian]

52. plain white milk

it makes me vomit, seriously...I cannot drink it. I can drink chocolate milk, but plain milk nauseates me.

[aikoaiko]

71. Interesting. I figured this was a lactose intolerance thing, but if choc millk is ok,....

interesting.

[zen_bohemian]

94. no lactose intolerance, I eat ice cream, chocolate milk, cheese

it's just the taste of plain milk nauseates me. When I drink chocolate milk, I put ALOT of syrup in it, it is dark brown, that milk taste has to be completely masked, I have no idea why, I have been like this since around aged 5.

[Kali]

55. most of my gagging food experiences had more to do with texture than flavor

but I think it was the combo in a shark (fin?) soup I had as a teen during a very fancy formal dinner in Taipei- every course was worse than the preceding one but the hot fishy oil and guts in a cup were pretty bad. One of my sisters even knocked hers over so she wouldn't have to eat it (of course another was brought out immediatly) OH GAWD it was horrible.

[aikoaiko]

66. true, pigs tails southern style was just too gelatenous for me

Still better than natto IMHO

[hyphenate]

59. I can't say exactly what might have been the worst, but I can

remember one occasion which fits the bill.

When I was very young in school, this being the 60s, we were learning about our two latest states in the country, and we delved into the Hawaiian culture to a good extent.

One of the things I remember we talked about was the food, and in one particular--poi. Flash past about 30 years, to the mid 80s, and my mom and I finally made it to Hawaii. On one of our trips aeound, we came to a small diner, and I saw poi on the menu, so I ordered it. I hated it. I don't know what I had been expecting, but it wasn't that.

At least one less thing on my bucket list, anyway!

[Throd]

61. Uni

[aikoaiko]

68. i can understand why you would not like uni - it is weird

But for some reason I found it delectable from the first bite.

[Throd]

63. I once drank my own pee by accident.

[aikoaiko]

69. Mistook it for Coors lite, no doubt. Its easy to do.

[tigereye]

100. rim shot!

:rofl:

[May Hamm]

80. So, uh, what'd it taste like?

I heard it tastes salty.

[Throd]

83. Pretty much tastes like it smells.

I peed into an empty bottle of white wine in a drunken stupor the night before...

The next morning, still quite hazy, I thought a little "hair of the dog" might help. You can see where this went...

[May Hamm]

85. Hahahaha!

YUK! It is funny, though.

[TK421]

118. was it a sauvignurine?

[superduperfarleft]

129. So did it help? n/t

[csziggy]

64. Ivermectin horse wormer

I didn't really put it in my mouth. Back when we did our own de-worming, we'd buy large bottles of the injectible used for cattle. In cows you can inject it, but in horses if you try they can get really bad abscesses. So we'd draw it up in a syringe and squirt it in the horses' mouths. One of my mares got really tricky about it - she didn't fight or clamp her lips down like the others, but she learned to stick her tongue up against the end of the syringe so it would squirt back at us. On time, most of a dose ended up in my mouth.

GARGGGGGHHHHH - no wonder the horses hate worming time! That stuff is the worst tasting thing I have ever had in my mouth. Bitter, acidic, sour, all at once. and the taste just doesn't wash out. My mouth tasted that stuff for hours and hours.

The only two good things - 1) it is not poisonous to humans; 2) If I had any worms in my system they were gone!

[aikoaiko]

70. you win the "eww" award.

[Kali]

120. remember that old fly wipe by Farnam?

Just called "Wipe" as I recall. If you got it on your hands it would somehow go into your system and a little while later you could taste it. yuck (but it worked pretty good)

[old mark]

65. I once bought some Korean instant soup from a Chinese market in PA.

When I cooked it, it smelled like burning tires.
It tasted much worse than it smelled, and I was amazed...


mark

[aikoaiko]

75. Some of those little packages of instant asian food are scary. Good for you for trying

:hi:

[old mark]

77. I really enjoy a lot of them, but this one was pretty extreme-Many of the Japanese

ramen soups are hot and spicey, which I like, but this one was just too odd for me.
It was probably something kids in Korea eat for breakfast, too-had cartoons on the package.

I used to really like a type of canned fish from Thailand, small fish like sardines, packed in crushed red hot Thai peppers, but sweet-it was really good, but I haven't been able to find them in years.


mark

[old mark]

78. Delete-duplicate post.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

81. cool whip

[La Lioness Priyanka]

82. cool whip.

[aikoaiko]

122. That surprises me, but taste buds are surprising.

;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

123. if you havent grown up with it, it takes like plastic.

[Raven]

84. castor oil....

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

86. Spoiled milk.

Or maybe the prep for colonoscopy.

Can't decide which is worse.

:hi:

[Moondog]

88. Lutefisk. Probably an acquired taste, but I'm not willing to acquire it. n/t

[zen_bohemian]

95. yuck :(

!

[A HERETIC I AM]

90. Powdered Goldenseal Root.

Rumored (?!) to have a masking effect on THC in the bloodstream - if one has to take a urine test.

Nastiest thing ever.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

96. ~

:yoiks:

[Bluzmann57]

99. Something called durian

Or something like that. It is a Thai fruit that smells and tastes like armpits.
They look sort of like pineapples so I thought, "Hmmm, ok." Until I tasted it. Yech. Period.

[aikoaiko]

106. I never had, but will be on the lookout for it.

[Paradoxical]

101. 3 week old fermented tea...

I tend to get a little cluttered at times.

I was on a 200 mile road trip by myself and stopped at a Burger King to eat. I brought my drink back to the truck and was on the highway driving along when I grabbed for my soda in the cup holder. I grabbed the cup that was on the passenger side. It was another BK cup that was filled with tea that had been sitting in my truck for almost a month.

I took a huge gulp of it. I quickly realized my mistake and began retching as I tried not to crash into anything.

[Mz Pip]

102. Boiled chittlings

I nearly fainted.

[BoWanZi]

103. Brussels Sprouts or anything extremely bitter

I HATE hate hate bitter tasting foods. I also don't like very sweet foods either. Can't even smell most overly sweet liquors without nearly hurling.

But bitter foods really get to me in a bad way. I don't care how you make it, its nasty.

[NRaleighLiberal]

109. If the Sprouts were bitter, they were old. Fresh ones are just delicious

if cooked appropriately, that is! One of our favorite veggies, but only very recently, when we discovered a few really good recipes (and a good source - Trader Joes)

[BoWanZi]

125. My step-father is an incredible cook and makes things taste wonderful but not the sprouts

Like i said, it doesn't matter how they are cooked or even how fresh they are, my taste buds revolt at their taste. Its just like drinking beer. ALL beer tastes nasty ass to me, no matter what brand. The IPA beers are the worst, they taste so bad to me that its nearly vomit inducing.

My son is a beer connoisseur so he keeps wanting me to try a new microbrew every now and then. Yuck.

[kwassa]

107. Prednisone

horrible aftertaste.

One of many horrible things about it.

[aikoaiko]

112. yeah, some medicines are the pits.

[NRaleighLiberal]

110. rotten cherry tomato....bad shrimp....valerian capsules. n/t

[aikoaiko]

113. bad shrimp.....eww

[NuclearDem]

111. Inappropriately giggling right now

[aikoaiko]

114. tee-hee.

[guitar man]

115. Brylcreem

Did a brief stint with a rockabilly band some years ago so I was using Brylcreem on my hair to get that look. We had been on the road a while and I was really dog tired when I got up, walked into the bathroom in the motel, picked up my tube of Brylcreem instead of the tube of toothpaste. Gawd that was awful! x( :puke:

[bluedigger]

124. Scrambled eggs and diesel.

On a field training exercise in the army they sent us out a hot breakfast via helicopter. They also sent a few cans of fuel, too. Apparently the lid on the eggs wasn't tight. :puke:

The bacon wasn't crisp, either. :rofl:

[Bombero1956]

126. that stuff you have to drink before a colonoscopy

That stuff was the most vile shit I've ever tasted. The more I tried to cut the taste with lemonade powder the worse it tasted. To have to drink a whole gallon of it in 3 hours made the experience that much worse. Now that I think of it I may have to do it all over again next year.

[sakabatou]

127. My old anxiety medicine when I was young

I'm on different meds, but medicine still tastes like crap.

[DebJ]

128. A soda that had a cigarette butt in it.......... n/t

[OhioChick]

130. An Actifed that didn't quite go down all the way...

:puke:

[tinymontgomery]

131. Live goldfish

for a Navy initiation.
