I've been enjoying the thread about food you wish you could have taken back, but what about the stuff you were happy to leave behind.

Worst food you ever tasted! Tell us here.

Here's one of mine.

Cheese puffs.

Or communion wafers.

I'll be happy if I never have to gut (although taste is fine) fried every-goddamn-thing that is the cuisine in the southern US.

I travel 4 hours sometimes to go to Atlanta just to peruse their organic section. And see friends and experience the nightlife, etc. But still.

Sheeeit, "we" fry candy bars down here. If I get cancer in four years, I'll be happier if I'm in Liberia than I am in the Bush-voting southern US states. These are half of the people that voted him in. "We're" scared of airline atrocities.

lol tunajuice. I worked a Summer in a Fried Cheese wagon touring Ohio. weiner size chunk of cheese, smother in batter, stick on a stick and deep fry......

Libby, I've seen those and always refused to try them. The fact that you did worries me.

Pepperonis in Zimbabwe... toooooo hot and strange tasting.

In Brasil I was given chicken heart soup by my future in-laws :/

The chicken hearts still had little aorta things on them and in this brown watery stew with cubes of potato. Gah.

I did try it. Never again. I mean, they're proabably so good for you - full of protein or some shit but goddamn, gross.

Chicken heart soup rocks! Better yet is if you can find a skewer of chicken hearts cooked over coals of some kind.

Food I never`want to see again??

That would be 90% of Korean food.

Marmite... did I spell that right? I mean, come on, people, it's like motor oil!

Guatemalan Bolla. It's made for special occasions. I will make every effort not to vist Guat during those times.

D

I never liked clam chowder as a kid, but for some reason, I tried it at some restaurant and loved it. After that, I'd order it all over the place. Then one day, I had a craving, and there was a can of Progresso clam chowder in the pantry. I only had one bite of it, and never again.

It still makes me retch, and I haven't had clam chowder since.

For those of you thinking wishing to challenge their ability to keep things down, I have one word for you.

Lutfisk.

Mmmmmmmmmmm. Good.

Anchovies...they slip the little bastards into aperitives over here just when you least expect em.

Makes me dry retch on the spot & the taste won't leave my mouth for a week.

Sea cucumbers. Nuff said.

Heretic!

Parsnips, swede (rutabaga), liver, liverwurst, liver pate, PAN GRAVY, my mother's meatballs, veggie sausages in Australia, pickled eggs, rollmops, wood ear fungus, some of those Chinese preserved vegetables that smell really bad... Can't think of anything else.

Oh yeah, almost forgot blood sausage and head cheese....

...are you sure theyre foods, not parts of an unwashed male ?

I was once given half cooked bright yellow curry sausages at a spectacularly bad bbq in oz...my stomach churned just looking at them

Last time I checked, they were considered to be food by some and I've only ever seen them detached from anything male, washed or not. But, thanks for conjuring up some really nasty images in my mind <<shudder>>

PAN GRAVY.

Weetabix with warm milk - the smell is enough for me to keel over. I think its a childhood thing
