What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
-
bitter melon
I have never wanted to go back in time and prevent myself from doing something more than in the moment of tasting that wretched vegetableit took every shred of my willpower to get it down and not spit it out dramatically (was in polite company)
It is delicious if you make it right - sweet curry or dry spicy fries.

How the hell do you wreck lentil soup that bad? Heck, there are lots of different cultures around the world that make tasty lentil soup. There's German lentil soup with potato, carrot, and ham; there's Indian dal in a range of flavors and colors; there's Turkish Ezogelin soup with bulgur and paprika ...
I have no clue. This was a school lunch 25 years ago, and we usually had really good lunch.

I literally had it today.
I used to hate it like most people, then I understood that most people don't cook it the right way.

Witloof, its this variant of cabbage that is long thin and completely white. And it has one of the most pungent bitter tastes ive ever had the misfortune to discover. The taste is hard to describe, but it's similar to bee spit,also known as honey, except replace all the love and care that the bees spat with, with pure malice and wasp hatred. It is incredibly sweet, ungodly bitter and has after cooking the texture of overcooked pasta

How was the century egg prepared? I knew some guys in high school that decided to buy random stuff at the asian grocery store and they ate the century egg as if it was a regular boiled egg then threw up. I've had it in small pieces with congee and that was pretty good though.
I'd used it in a recipe to try and make congee, inspired by a pop-up in Seattle called Secret Congee. Theirs is good as hell, but my first try deterred me entirely from that questline.

I've eaten chicken feet, haggis, blood pudding, sisig, century egg, durian, dinuguan, tripe and tongue tacos, frog legs, snails, alligator, whole softshell crab, and probably a few more delights that I ought to remember. The only one I absolutely cannot stomach is the century egg.
Sisig mentioned rahhh

Properly prepared or improperly prepared?
I had a chicken sandwich once that was still pink in the middle... Disgusting!

I mean there are foods designed to genuinely taste bad, but - keeping to food that I guess is supposed to taste good - I know one of my worst experiences as a kid was with a particular boiled sweet.
I don't know what flavour it was supposed to be, but it tasted like somebody had shoved fly spray in my mouth. It was vile.

Worked for a Japanese company and visited the head office in Tokyo. One of the more senior managers took us to his favorite local sea food restaurant.
I hate seafood. Especially when it's fancy and you get baby squid that looks like they were just fresh out of the water with no preparation etc (part of the "fancy"). However, culturally I had absolutely no possibility to do anything but eat, smile and praise. The courses just kept coming, each one being more disgusting than the last.

Hard to say. I tend to opt for safe things most of the time. Twice as a child I was conned into taking a spam fritter under the belief it was fish. I like battered fish. It was not fish. I do not like spam.
Texture-wise, I cannot abide kidney. Used to love steak and kidney pies but something changed when my adult teeth came in.
Thirdly, I still have flashbacks to a serving of whitebait I ordered out of curiosity in a restaurant one time. They didn't taste terrible that I remember. Just... whole little fish cooked and to be eaten whole. Never again.
And then there was the case of the Kit-Kat that I was eating blind, piece by piece from my coat pocket, and one of the pieces was hard and unpleasant. I am still not sure there wasn't something else in my pocket that I grabbed and ate by mistake, but that's pretty up there.

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.

Matter of taste I guess - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_man_(novelty)
I like dinuguan and sisig, but I've definitely had plates of sisig I've regretted.

I once went to an Ethiopian restaurant with my family. Never again.
I can't even describe it, but whatever evil concoction they call their version of bread is easily the worst thing I ever attempted to eat.

Minke whale. I've had hákarl and I prefer that over minke whale.
