What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
-
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.

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.
What do egg whites taste like with braces? Did this happen with other foods?
-
You can get close by way overfermenting regular sourdough. It's very lactic.
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.

Yeah, almost rubbery.

I was warned off natto.
It's funny, I can think of the worst drink (I dislike Negroni to the point I don't even understand how people like it, so intensely sweet and bitter and nothing else)
and the worst perfume (Im Nebbel, smelled like burning rubber) but food, all I can think of is the time my ex made a spaghetti with a sauce of yellow tomatoes that looked exactly like vomit, and when I was trying to eat it, commented that he thought it was "a little loose" and I just lost it, could not eat it, though it didn't taste awful.
Worst restaurant food was a Mexican place in San Antonio, got a chicken mole and the mole was made with sweetened chocolate chips; an enchilada with American cheese slice was another highlight of that meal, it was comically bad.

I made pancakes once. I didn’t know the difference between baking powder and baking soda. It tasted like chewing aluminum foil or licking a 9v battery.
I’m generally not allowed in the kitchen.
-
Durian fruit. That is the most vile thing I have ever tasted and the after taste lasted for like 5 hours.
That shit is fucking evil.
I am not a picky eater and enjoy many exotic, strong smelling/tasting foods.
But not durian.

I have had some truley awful CFA sandwiches. When they are good they are fine. But Everytime I go to one it is really hit or miss. So why bother?

Mashed potatoes from KFC. It just tastes like an empty sadness.
-
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.
Most people who think they hate peanut butter hate soybean oil.

I used to eat hand soap when I was a kid because I loved the taste. I also love cilantro. What does any of this mean?

When I was in my twenties I met this girl. I got really sick, and she wanted to impress me and made soup. She knew nothing about cooking.
She boiled a chicken, did not separate anything. Chopped up a head of parsley and threw it in.
Then she served it to me with glistening eyes and a hopeful look. "I want you to feel better, I made soup for you".
It was just basically grey chicken fat with bones, cartilage, skin floating in it.

The first thing that comes to mind are these frozen turkey burgers. They weren't offensive but they were so flavorless. Nothing I added to them made them palatable. It was the damnedest thing.

Broccoli and cauliflower. Just including either of these ingredients ruins the dish. I would rather eat dog shit.
Saute the (halved) broccoli in butter or oil. If all you've had are the bitter mush from boiling, you may discover a huge improvement.
Cauliflower is incorrigible, but put some melty cheese on that and it's ghetto fabulous.
