What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
-
Unripe persimmon. I can't even say it has a flavor, more a sensation of your face trying to implode into your mouth. Bitterness is an insufficient descriptor for it. That's part of it, but also your mouth feels dry in a way that defies belief. It's like being stuck on the dentist's vacuum too long.
Indeed, it's not really a flavor, but that sensation is called astringent.

I don’t think so. I just didn’t like the texture and taste, it wasn’t rotten or anything. It just wasn’t for me.
I loooove Uni! Soooo sea-tasting. It flavors all the sushi I eat after it, too!
Uni certainly is tasty.

A Pizza. It was in Milan. Directly in front of the cathedral. It tasted like a frozen pizza, and I was utterly disappointed.
It's really easy to get bad food in touristy parts of Italy (well, anywhere, really)

Deep fried calamari. Imagine deep frying a tyre, same texture and taste.

Chicken sashimi is a thing in Japan, so consider yourself cultured
Cultured?

It was something like mashed pumpkin. I forget the exact variety.
I was for dinner at some friend's place. He gives me a bit of that pumpkin stuff, saying I have to taste it because it turned out so great. It was left-overs from the previous day. I take a spoon and it tastes absolutely rotten. Well, ok. He is trying his best to be an amateur chef, but I do have doubts about some of his culinary judgments. So, I put on the polite face and just eat it.
After a few spoons, I can't take it anymore. I say: "Sorry, this tastes absolutely rotten." He tastes of it, nods and hurries out the room to throw it away. So yeah. I ate spoiled food. I didn't get sick but I haven't eaten pumpkin since. The taste really stayed with me.

I had a hunch it's the way it's cooked, should always be fresh.
I've learned my lesson. Only going to order it at places that are bumping

Couple months ago I got a tonsillectomy. I got nerve damage in my tongue as a side effect of a tool they used and everything tastes different since. Tomato based pasta sauces have been the absolute worst, it tastes very metallic. The only normal type of food I can stand is Asian food that isn't breaded/fried.

LOL, 80% of our home cooked meals either have tomatoes and/or fried Asian food.

I’ve eaten a lot of pretty crazy stuff by western standards. The most challenging thing I have eaten was a giant water bug. The most challenging thing I haven’t been able to bring myself to eat was balut.
The water bug was definitely not the worst thing I’ve eaten though; it was unbelievably fragrant. Practically like eating perfume.
Giant water bug? I love those things!

Apparently none y'all have tried vegemite.
Come at me Australia!

Oh… I’m so sorry. That should be illegal.

Vegemite tastes like what I imagine the under-side of a cow to taste.
It tastes like the smell of road surface.
It should have a warning label: Not to be taken orally.
It's clearly a prank that Australia plays with everyone.Also, I was born in England, but have lived in Australia for 25 years.

Balut, it tasted good actually but the physiological hurdles I could only eat one and could not do it again.
Oh my g….. you just took me back to my childhood! I miss balut! My kids loved it until they grew up and figured out what it was.

Tête de veau and andouillettes.
I'll try everything once but the first is just jelly with cartilage, reminding you it used to be a face.
The second is offal sausage that smells like the intestines weren't washed out properly.

Hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Logically, you should be thanking whoever made that for you.

Looks like a euro burger on a US bun.

Nope, looked it up. Similar though.
