Sea urchin.
It’s a totally different taste if you can ever get it fresh (like out of a just opened shell level fresh). There’s no sliminess or fishy taste at all, just rich and savory with a hint of sweetness
Friend gifted me some of this, and it’s truly awful.
What is this, wxactly? Just looks like some kind of liquor
This could actually be named wxactly
It certainly is. Baiju. It tastes like some kind of harsh chemical cleaner. Goes down similarly.
Probably expensive Chinese baijiu the traditional drink of the North. I’ll be toasting with it soon. Tastes like lighter fluid smells, 42% by volume.
That sounds manageable. The first time a friend and I played Minecraft, he took a shot of Everclear. I was never brave enough to try that, but I was drinking it mixed 50/50 with Monster.
Everclear is, incidentally, 190 proof. I don’t drink it anymore, but my wife has used it as cleaning fluid.
At least it’s sterile (I imagine)

Cat treat. Ate it on a dare. It was fucking foul. 0/10.
I used to work in a pet food store and tried a bunch of treat samples we had. They’re not very good if you aren’t a dog or a cat, turns out
I remember a food chemist telling me that one of their hardest problems was making things that smell and taste good to dogs and cats, but didn’t smell too gross for the humans.
It’s because they’re not giving your pets the same high quality food you get.
You’ve seen them eating literal poop, right?
You think you get high quality ingredients in store bought snacks and candy ?
No, that was not it at all, according to her. It’s that things that smell really good to the animals don’t generally smell good to humans. She said it would be really easy to make food the animals would be excited about, but their owners would open the can and it would smell bad, so they didn’t want to buy any more of it.
The smell of canned cat food makes me retch.
The stuff I used to give my cat was fine, but she had kidney disease now and is on a prescription canned-only diet. The new stuff smells gross and it makes her poop smell much worse.
There are posh producers who do 100% freeze dried meat pet food and treats. Even so, probably not something you want or need in your body.
I’ve tried both wet and dry cat food. The wet food was very bad, but still relatively edible. It was also the one I expected to be good (it was one of those really expensive and premium brands). The dry food, however, tasted exactly like fried anchovies. It wasn’t bad, honestly.
Edit: I’ve also tried dog cookies. Most of them are bland, because their main ingredient is actually ash. I don’t know how healthy that is. They’re also pretty hard. However, there’s a specific kind that is actually very tasty, and I liked it. It’s way cheaper than actual human cookies, so I still buy them every once in a while, as a treat. I still don’t know if they’re super healthy to eat, but I’ve never felt sick after eating them.
Mouldy yoghurt
This was something like 16-17 years ago now so it’s clearly left a mark
It was about 2-3am, I lived on the ground floor of a student house and I wanted a snack. Remembering I had bought some yoghurts a day or two before I figured that’s what I was going for.
Now I’m not really sure what happened, if I picked up an old one I’d not noticed or it was just bad from the shop, but it didn’t notice until after I’d taken the first mouthful.
Needless to say it tasted genuinely awful and put me off yoghurt in general for a good while
Jelly while on a trip in the UK. There was solid stuff inside that looked and tasted like vomit.
Solid stuff? Someone did a really shit job of making it then. Unless you mean something that isn’t called jelly here. Taste is subjective but if they fucked that bit up then I wouldn’t be surprised if other things were done wrong too.
I’m wondering if they had marmalade with chunks of rind
So not jelly at all?
It’s an acquired taste, but one I didn’t acquire. Preserved shearwater chick, mmm.
I live in Scotland now, where there’s a similar delicacy, guga. I have not tried it. I think you have to live on the Isle of Lewis for a shot at eating it
Yo mama’s name (scnr)
Stinky tofu. It’s hard to describe the flavor. It’s like dead anchovies in fish sauce but with the texture of a slice of omelette. It’s like eating rotten fish snot. I involuntarily spit it out immediately after putting it in my mouth, almost like it fell out of my mouth. My hosts laughed and said I didn’t have to eat it, but I tried again and was able to keep it in my mouth but was not physically able to swallow it, like my ability to swallow was rejecting it. I spit it into a paper napkin and everyone laughed. I just couldn’t force myself to consume it.
If you hated it, you might have been a super taster in my experience has super taster it felt like someone threw up directly into my mouth
That’s interesting. I friggin’ loved it.
To each their own. I thought it was going to be like surströmming, which I liked. I’ve also eaten durian with no issue. Stinky tofu was not my thing.
The name stinky tofu doesn’t help either eh?
And, I’m not sure if I could stomach surströmming, but I’d love to try one day!
The trick is to have someone prepare it who knows what they’re doing. Guy who made it for us opened it outside in a bowl of water to catch all the gas coming out. He rinsed it and then put it on potatoes with sour cream and chives. It was good, but we still ate it outside.
I always cringed watching videos of people open a can in a hot car in Texas during the summer to “see how bad it smells”
Duck tounge. Ice cold duck tounge.
Recently? My cum probably.
whats so disgusting about it, tastes like pine apple juice
Mmmm, pine apple.
Y’all nasty.
That said, my worst recently was parmesan cheese in soup after having vomited from norovirus. It tastes like vomit in the wrong context…
I’m sure it’s not the nastiest thing, but it’s what comes to mind. I have a brother and we dared each other to eat stuff as kids, but I cannot recall…
That reminds me of playing card games with my parents one time and I smelled what I thought was vomit. Turns out my folks liked to play each other while eating popcorn. Popcorn seasoned with Kraft Parmesan cheese. Gross.
Once we realized what was causing the smell, the cards went in the trash and that habit stopped.
Ugh. Once when I was a kid I got the idea in my head to stick my face in between the couch cushoins and inhale hard. I still can kinda see the cursed salad I was spitting out for a while.
One time when I was a kid, my friend and I decided to take random stuff from the pantry and just mix it all together into one drink. That was genuinely heinous.
Balut
Pinoy friend of mine’s sister brought ‘easter balut’ to their family’s easter. She’d made jello eggs with peeps in the middle.
Wow! What is that like?
I had a gf that adored it because of the"crunchy texture" … But I mean she ate my cum so I can’t really complain
I hope that isn’t crunchy when she eats it too…
