try eat ramen w/ strawberry jam haha now that gross :D

i love spinach, but carrot is my less fave veggie.
but i still eat it.

Ramen only needs salt and pepper. With jam? Fuj!

Reading back through this thread I discovered that I am apparently not the picky eater I was as a child. I could not find anything anyone posted that I didn't know a way to make pleasing.

For years my dreaded veggies were brussell sprouts and mushrooms. But it turned out to be the ways they were usually cooked. I am very demanding about my brussell sprouts (tender, braised in vinegar and bacon fat) and the mushrooms better not be soft, preferrably browned in steak drippings with lemon juice or ponzu.

And don;t you dare get sugar anywhere near my grapefruit!!! It must have SALT! But if the grapefruit is not properly ripened (like many of them in grocery stores these days) nothing with make them palatable.

First post on this forum!!

I hated durian, we ate in Malaysia and it was yuck.

I had a piece of raw squid sushi while in Japan last week. I thought it would be fine (I like raw fish) but I couldn't take it. I managed one of the two pieces, but couldn't eat the other one!

I can't eat capsicum which is annoying because I am normally a pescetarian (I eat no meat but eat seafood) and they tend to but capsicum in all vegetarian food.:mad:

Can't think of anything else that I really, really detest.

Creamed anything. Creamed corn. Creamed Asparagus. Creamed green beans. Doesn't matter, it's gross. Aside from that, I'll pretty much eat anything that doesn't try to eat me first, with the exception of some French food. I've tried escargot, and the frog...and it's disgusting. That whole ploy about it "tasting like chicken," I'd rather eat the chicken. And while I love the taste of pork, I've stopped eating it as it really is bad for you, and makes sense considering what they eat...lol.

I cant do limabeans even looking at them my stomach start to turn inside out.

I started to avoid broccoli ever since I saw worms crawling out from it when I cut it into half. And well, this:



Cricket Soup. Hey, they DO serve this at one part of Korea. It sickens me to no end. Ugh... :coldbear:

OH MY LORD IN HEAVEN:eek: i dont even want to finish my bagel now i feel i like i need to perform exorcism on that.

I just gagged on my taquito...note to self: don't read icky food threads while eating.

You do know that silkworm is a medicine, right?

Having lived in South Korea for years and years, I have never heard of bug cuisine. And this webpage doesn't have any description.

........ that's just gross looking :p

damn, they need to work on their presentation skills.

pig bowel soup while I was in Japan.. I didn't know what I was eating till it was too late

I want to add hot dogs to this 'yuck' list and I hope someone else has mentioned them in the past. Its not the meat part that scares me so much as the fillers they shove in there.

:coldbear:

Hahaha. For anyone living in the US, there's a relatively new addition to the Audubon Zoo and Aquarium in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's the Insectatarium! While most of it has to do with seeing all kinds of bugs, they have a place at the back where they cook all kinds of bugs for visitors to eat. And they are actually pretty good! Also, they love to mention how many bugs and bug parts people eat on a daily basis in any processed food :D .

hot dogs ew i hate those too their so gross

the pinnacle of gross foods is the half gestated eggs that they eat in the philipines and in china where you crack open the shell and theres a half developed chicken foetus, and youre meant to eat the feathers and beak and everything.

if youre squeemish, or prone to nightmares, i would not google it if i were you.

The worst thing I ever experienced was at a restaurant in a coastal area of Thailand.

We had a monkey and his head stuck through a hole centred in the middle of the table. The head was then sliced off with a razor sharp knife, the blood from the neck drained into a glass, and I will leave the rest to your imagination!

My Thai friend and his family actually drank the blood!

Yup.. Seen that.. It's disgusting!

You're going to die from ebola!!!!!!!!!
well.... it has an average of 90% mortality rate so you have a 1 in 10 chance of survival!:D:mtongue:

Just for the people who mentioned Wasabi...

If your talking about the green paste you get in a tube or the powder stuff, please understand that it is NOT Wasabi. It is a mixture of Wasabi and English mustard powder.

Real Wasabi is very mild and has a subtle flavour. I would rank it well below horse raddish for heat although it has a similar flavour.

You can eat it raw without fear of steam coming out of your ears or your eyes exploding. Infact it is so mild that it can be creamed and turned into an awesome icecream.

I think I will avoid the insectatarium as scrupulously as my mother avoided herpetatiums when I was a child. I think I could even manage to taste the broth of the cricket soup before intentionally walking into a place filled with insects.

We have only 2 restaurants here that serve real wasabi, which I love. I also like the fake stuff because I love horseradish. Where you can eat fresh wasabi, only a crazy person would eat fresh grated horseradish without it being diluted.

They have to wear gas masks in plants where horseradish is processed because of the fumes, and even the strongest packaging of it is not usually pure. Most often it is mixed with a small amount of milk.

I tried natto when I went to Japan 2 years ago, and it tastes like ASS!

i've tasted ass.

natto is worse.

I wouldn't touch it, but Thai people seem to have stomachs made of concrete!

I've see outdoor markets in Thailand selling raw meat with no refrigeration, in other words, this meat would have surely gone bad, and to make it worse, covered in fly's. They just buy, cook and eat.

Lol for me it's Brussel Sprouts >_< I can't stand their smell...

the worst food I've ever had? chocolate covered Nori Pocky. oh MAN was that nasty! it left this bitter mint like taste I'm my mouth and it made every other food i ate seem to trigger my gag reflex. i had some at a international potluck for my Art class back when i was in community college. some Japanese exchange students i use to hang out with brought it in. and well.....yeah. it did not end well.

Octopus- maybe I just had one that did not taste good? Maybe some people eat it to trick other people to eat it :P

It would be difficult to try to eat again.

If japan use wasabi as enhancer......then mine malaysia had enhancer call 'sambals' or sauce...different state there different sambals......BUDU(salted,delicious sambal..made from fish).....BELACAN(hot but good eating with vege and fish made from shrimp)....CINCALUK(made from tiny shrimp but u could see a lot of tiny shrimp pack in the bottle)...and big daddy TEMPOYAK(keep the fregmented Durian in ref few days and add some chillies...wallla....nice smell u had...but good eating with main dish.....its popular cooking is Silver catfish(Malay call Ikan Patin) cook with Tempoyak.....me?BUDU,BELACAN,CINCALUK...my fav..but TEMPOYAK...I'll pass.....

Sorry, but I can't handle Durian....any way, shape, or form. Like oysters, I try again every few years, but I just can't manage to eat the stuff.

Octopus can be good, or nearly tasteless and the texture of what I imagine chewing vulcanized rubber would be like if it is not cooked properly. I have to admit that the visual can be a bit disturbing sometimes too. A favorite Korean grill of mine serves it and what arrives for cooking is sizeable tenacles swimming in a red sauce....not very appetizing unless you know what it will soon taste like.

Dunno. I never really try foods I haven't had before, or I'm not sure I'll like. The last food I added to my mental list of foods I like was calamari, even though I thought it would taste gross at first. Who knew squid could be so delicious? :)

wasabi, worst thing ever

^I once ate a ball of wasabi about an inch in diameter for a dollar. :p

Hmm...never tried it, but it smells aweful! It's called menudo...XP
But as far as Japanese food, I think I would have to go with...octupus...not my fav! XP Too squishy, seems like it's still alive...lol
~HonoraryJapaneseGirl~

I've heard of that..but never had it either. The funny thing is, some of the stinkiest food often tastes good, lol. Prime example for me: Vietnamese food. @_@ My friend's mom would have the house smelling terrible (imo), but her food was like zomgnom:eek:

surstromming - a "delicacy" from Northern Sweden. basically a whole herring, head and all, left to rot in a barrel in the sun for a few months and then canned to undergo fermentation in the can. When the can is bulging and about to explode, the stuff is ready to be consumed. Preferably outdoors.

ugh. I can't stomach cauliflower, onions, any fush, ugh. they all gross me out.
>< Eww wasabi though, god i'd thought the s#$t had made me die.
