What's the worst food you've ever eaten?
-
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.
Fermented teff flour? I've always wanted to try it with raw kitfo out of curiosity
-
Camel fat. It tastes like how a camel smells.
Never smelt one but I assume really sweaty?
-
Balut, it tasted good actually but the physiological hurdles I could only eat one and could not do it again.
Anytime I've seen a video of them, they mention the feathers/skull/or juice and I'm thinking "please stfu"

Cilantro/coentro/coriander
Soap gene eh?

I think the most famous description of Durian is "like eating custard in a sewer". I've never tried it, since we don't get it in the UK, but I'm curious. I had a Malaysian friend who loved it, but said many businesses and public transport would have signs up saying no Durian due to the smell.
It's honestly not bad after a few tries. For me, the texture and overwhelming smell was a surprise at first but the actual taste isn't that bad.

A Pizza. It was in Milan. Directly in front of the cathedral. It tasted like a frozen pizza, and I was utterly disappointed.
The only time I don't like pizza is when they use that weird cheap dough that resembles a giant version of what you get in lunchables

Properly prepared or improperly prepared?
I had a chicken sandwich once that was still pink in the middle... Disgusting!
Chicken sashimi is a thing in Japan, so consider yourself cultured
-
Minke whale. I've had hákarl and I prefer that over minke whale.
How was it prepared? Whenever I've seen whale cuisine it's typically a piece of blubber eaten raw.

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
In their defense, it literally says "kaviar."

Rancid butter. My mother bought it from a farm and insisted it was fine. It was so, so bad. I was only 4 years old at the time and I seriously thought I didn't like butter for years.

It's like a sourdough pancake. Absolutely delicious, and even more so when it soaks up the juices from the rest of the platter.

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
My mother used to serve it without sauce, ham, or anything else to hide it. Vile.

Is that someone people actually eat?
It is popular in a lot of Southeast Asia. You can even buy commercial chili pastes with the essence of water bug in them.

Once I was with a group at a breakfast buffet, and I had a piece of bacon that was about 95% fat. Someone said they'd give me $5 to pour a packet of Sweet'n Low on it and eat it.
I regretted taking them up on it.
My true worst isn't technically food, but we cooked down a bunch of San Pedro cactus to try to make mescaline. The juice tasted like ultra concentrated dirty bong water.
The worst part is it didn't work.

Snails are popular even in western culture and what is a snail but a slug with a backpack

Would you describe yourself as a masochist?

Two things. Once I had fish in the student cafeteria that gave me food poisoning. Since then, I can't stand fish and seafood anymore.
The other was a lasagne I had at a Tesco cafe. I took one bite, and returned it to the counter, stating that this is the worst lasagne that ever happened to me.

Nah - it just tastes clean and fresh to me…it’s refreshing
