What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
-
Smoked kippers, at 7 years of age.
Mini-spew.
-
Deep fried calamari. Imagine deep frying a tyre, same texture and taste.
It was overdone.
-
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.
That's the skin. The fruit is sweet as honey.

Snails are popular even in western culture and what is a snail but a slug with a backpack
I can't with escargot, but eel in sushi is nice.

Whaaaat injera bread is really good. Not even an acquired taste.

The food that happened the most frequently so I remember it was egg whites tasted horrible when I had braces.
Otherwise I've eaten a number of bad things because we traveled a lot as kids and you ate what was put in front of you. If it was truly gagging we could stop though. Sometimes we'd get a chewy bar like thing later if it was clear we simply weren't going to eat whatever horrible it was.

Steak, fish, boiled potatoes and fish pudding, basically anything my dad made.
I was 18 when I found out steak wasn’t supposed to be rubber. The foods in themselves should be good, but the way he prepared them, ruined everything.
Now as an adult with my own kitchen and money, I can make the meals phenomenal in comparison to what dad made.
Take the dish fried rice, everyone is head over heels about it, billions of people eat it. But for me it’s associated with some really terrible shit. Soggy rice, canned corn, grey minced meat, canned champignon and lots of oil. No seasoning except salt and the oil.

Fermented teff flour? I've always wanted to try it with raw kitfo out of curiosity
You can get close by way overfermenting regular sourdough. It's very lactic.

Properly prepared or improperly prepared?
I had a chicken sandwich once that was still pink in the middle... Disgusting!
Mother in law fed me pink turkey.
She used an insta pot, loaded to the brim with turkey legs, but she set it on air fryer mode by accident. Mine was on top, so it looked fine, and she didn't notice the lower ones were raw until I'd already started eating.
Fun night. Didn't get sick

- Canned green beans
- Tapioca pudding
- (Cole slaw|potato salad)
- Cantaloupe
- Real cheap store brand snack brownies
️️ - Soggy frozen pizza (frozen pizzas are garbage LMFAO)
- Chicken wings for being 80% (bone|skin)
From memory , worst → least worst
Seems like you have an issue with texture more than you do flavor.

PB&J sandwiches. I hate them. They literally make me gag. Can’t stand the taste, the texture, the smell… even the sight of them or hearing them being made bugs me. An assault on all five of my senses.
-
Broccoli and cauliflower. Just including either of these ingredients ruins the dish. I would rather eat dog shit.
Broccoli
See, that's a perfectly respectable opinion, but it is so different from my own that I cannot fathom how someone could hate broccoli. It just tastes so good, specially with olive oil.

I love eating fish. Most fish is incredible.
Fish with too much lime is, however, HORRIBLE and makes me want to puke. Poorly made noodles are also not great.

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.
I ordered andouillette in a Paris restaurant once not knowing what it was. I had a little dictionary with me (pre-internet) that translated it as "chitterlings". I didn't know what that was either.
Never again - it had chopped-up bits of rubbery guts on it that resisted chewing, it was vile.

Apparently it does taste like soap or lye to them but I can't give you first hand testimony
First-hand testimony: yes, it does taste of soap. Lick a bar of soap if you want to know what it's like.

What do egg whites taste like with braces? Did this happen with other foods?

Does it get that same floppy texture?

But how do I know soap tastes the same to you as it does me? What if the soap gene actually makes soap taste like cilantro?

Chick-fil-A. Soggy, rubbery chicken. So fucking gross.
