    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!

      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.

            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.

                  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.

                            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.

                                          Someone on lemmy posted this recently: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_pineapple

                                          My mother in law is Korean so out of curiosity I had her pick up the Korean dish made from it (meonggae) after seeing the lemmy post. It taste like the smell of a dank metal spiral stair case at Seaworld. Even through all the (imo) tasty spices and seasoning. I asked my MIL what she likes about it and she said, "it tastes so fresh because one bite and your transported to the sea". Especially with the older generation, the context can make the food way more than the taste

                                          That's like the one seafood I don't like, specifically because of the metal taste. You can be "transported to the sea" without needing to lick spoons while you're underwater.
