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

I am weirdly intrigued. You make it sound like a curiosity
I seem to write better when I'm passionate about something. What gets me is none of it looks* off/shitty visually. Like the coleslaw looks appealing until you eat a mouth full and wish to die from your utter disappointment. If the Demiurge is real, one of his angels runs their kitchen just to fuck with people.

Bitter gourd curry. Was so so so bitter. I'll bet it tastes different to different folks.
Reminds me of a migraine medicine. I have to eat candy for a few hours after taking that.

Nothing tops the Jolly Rancher story.
Steve and his girlfriend Samantha went off to college in August. She went to Florida State, he went to Penn. So, she decides to fly to PA to visit him. He was really happy to see her so he decided to give her some oral action.
He had done this numerous times before and he always enjoyed doing it...but for some reason, this time, she smelled really horrible, and she tasted even worse. He didn't want to offend her though because he hadn't seen her in months...so he put a Jolly Rancher in his mouth to cover it up, even though it didn't do much to help.
In the course of eating her out, he accidentally pushed the candy inside of her... and stuck a finger in to grab it out. He took it out, and put it back into his mouth and bit it. Only...it wasn't the Jolly Rancher.
It was a nodule of gonorrhea.
As in, the blister-like structure that gonorrhea makes filled with diseased pus was the size of a fucking Jolly Rancher and the poor guy BIT it. I guess it was really dark in the room. He freaked out and started vomiting all over the place when it exploded in his mouth...
He demanded to know what was going on, turns out she had cheated on him at a club like, the first week of college, and fucked some random guy and the stupid bitch had no clue what was wrong with her. She noticed a strange smell though.
So now, Steve is freaking out that he now has gonorrhea of the mouth and God knows what else.

I grew up hating a lot of vegetables because my grandfather - who I'm sure meant well - used to boil the life out of them. Green beans or broccoli would be soft, mushy, and greyish (while the water became green), and taste like unseasoned sadness.
One day when I was in grade school in the year nineteen eighty-bad, the cafeteria served hot dogs which had gone greyish and we were all told it was fine. They smelled awful and made a bunch of kids sick.

But if I don’t like it, that it means more for everyone else.
I’m pretty open-minded about trying new foods, and there’s not a lot of foods I really hate - honestly, besides pb&j, I can’t think of a food I’d turn down.
It is weird to me that my dislike of it bothers people. I think everyone has one commonly beloved food that they don’t like. Hell, my wife hates bacon. BACON! I still love her tho. She keeps the pb&j away from me, I keep the bacon away from her.
It's funny because peanut butter, jelly, and bacon go so well together. Throw a little banana in there and fry it up, and you've got a Fat Elvis.
I think PB&J is just in a different category. I could eat them literally every day and never get tired of them, and I've heard the same from most other adults and children I've talked to about it.
My brother never liked peanut butter growing up, so he'd eat cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. I don't feel the need to say that in a way that expresses disdain, because I imagine it's impossible to read that sentence without the disdain being implied.
Anyway, doesn't really matter. You do you.

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 did not find Nattō that bad actually. You need to spread it out over enough rice.
That said, I had a dish recently, stir fried prawn with Thai "stinky beans" that reminded me of Nattō somehow. To be fair they did warn me that it really was stinky when I tried ordering it. I insisted to try it anyway. It was really difficult to get down. It really did stink on my plate. I had to carefully ensure that no spoonful had to much of the bean mush. It was salty and gave the impression of decay.

Sea urchin sushi.
Thoroughly unrecommended.
It was like someone boiled the souls of a thousand fish down into a paste and then let it ferment underground for a year. I was not prepared.
For the record it was part of a set multi course meal in a fancy Japanese restaurant - I didn't seek it out in particular.
-
Apparently none y'all have tried vegemite.
Come at me Australia!
Vegemite is just brewers yeast post-brew, with added salt. It's was invented to use up the leftover brewers yeast after brewing beer (well really, Marmite was, and Vegemite was invented as an Australian version of Marmite).
Brits like the taste of beer, Brits made Marmite. Aussies like the taste of beer.. Vegemite.
Its ok if yanks don't like the taste of beer, we get it, we've tried your beers.

Strange. I've only been able to have it once. I found it to be buttery, with a mild taste, about as fishy as salmon. I really enjoyed it.

Wth negroni is the best drink

A good andouillette is fantastic, but I understand how it would sneak up on the unprepared foodie
I love haggis, and that's all horrible bits and pieces cooked in a sheep stomach. No rubbery chunks though. I'll give andouillette another whirl next time I'm in Paris, maybe I got a dud.

Soap gene eh?
It's actually a myth in my experience, might taste soapy to some folks at first (my experience) but I love coriander and it tastes good now

Boiled beef tongue, no seasoning. Taste/texture as you'd imagine.

Preface: All seafood makes me violently ill. I wish it weren't so, but here we are.
While living in Switzerland we went to an ikea and found what I thought to be spreadable cheese in a toothpaste type tube. For reference lots of stuff over there comes in those types of tubes. Why not cheese?
I was so excited to get home and immediately tore the cap off and squeezed a giant dollop of what my mouth expected to be something like cheez whiz.
NOPE. NOPE FUCKING NOPE. It was some kind of fish paste with roe...
I puked for like 30 minutes straight and couldn't get that taste out of my mouth until we found some kirsch liqueur that I also hate, but whose taste will overpower anything.
Picture related: The culprit
This is a staple food in Norway. The Norwegian variant is made with smoked cod roe.
Think the Swedish variant is some kind of freshwater fish? Can't imagine IKEA will deliver culinary greatness tho'

It's supposed to be from Troyes, in case you happen to be in the vicinity... I've yet to try haggis but I'm optimistic, looks right up my alley

surströmming, though i would classify it more as a bioweapon than food.

Oh lord. Tongue can be so damn good if prepared well.
I have many UK relatives, and I know the horror of which you speak.

Wth negroni is the best drink
I know that people like them but I can't get past the syrupy intense sweetness, it is nauseating to me. Tastes a lot like a migraine feels. I do like lighter bittersweet stuff, Chinotto soda is good. And do like Campari in fruity drinks, it adds a welcome edge and the sweetness is moderated but Negroni tastes horrible to me still.
Can you describe what it tastes like to you?

My friend must make them less sweet than is standard, it's kind of syrupy but not too bad, maybe a little citrussy and of course that herbal bitterness. I might be an outlier though I've been known to sip straight Mallort.
