Beetroot? thats not a foodstuff its a clothes dye

I bloody love beetroot! And to disgust you even further Uncle Jezza, one of my favourite butties is beetroot and this stuff on Warbies toasty.

Give it a go! It’s filthy! You might be converted. 😃

Ah. Yes. Bought Andouillette and put it on a BBQ. Then it burst and sprayed recognisable pieces of pig across a 3m kill zone.

Bounty bars. Chocolate - yes! Coconut's insides - NO!

My favourite food I love to hate is Halloumi. It's not cheese. It's rubber and squeaks. It's not real cheese. Imposter. The texture is criminal.

Any sort of granola that isn't at least 50% sugar and fruit. I don't care how much honey you say is in this, it's still chipboard shards.

Rice cakes. To make something so awful and then name it after actual delicious cake? Twisted evil Bastards.

And then they put the bloody things in the Free From section and take up space that ought to be filled with actual free from stuff, rather than just stuff that just happens to not have anything worth eating in. Why not put the car oil and the barbeque fuel in there too while you're at it since it's all dairy free too.

Mushrooms. Can’t believe mushrooms haven’t come up yet.
I will never understand why people enjoy eating big mould.
Taste, smell, texture and life cycle are all wrong. They’re not of this world and shouldn’t be trusted.

There is nothing in this thread that I wouldn't eat.

I'm not keen on tripe, but I'd give it a go.

It's apparent that many people are just listing food they're fussy with rather. IMO a crime against humanity food wise would be something really artificial like squeezey cheese.

I'm sort of with you, being a cheese fan myself.....but then this comes along

Goes really well on a rice cake.

Salted caramel - both ingredients are fine on their own, but combined it is just rank!

Cola ketchup is probably pretty good actually. "Cola chicken" is a thing.

as I’m someone who has a rather nasty intolerance to peppers I make sure I check the ingredients of all foodstuffs I buy….. Yes, foodstuffs, not a CHUFFIN DRINK!

As someone with a cheese allergy I've been burned once too often to trust to 'common sense' and check everything. They sneak the stuff into or onto all manner of things without asking.

I once got spaghetti in a restaurant in the US* and specifically asked for no cheese. Right at the end they drowned it in powdered mozzarella from one of those flour duster things. I protested, they replied "it's not cheese, it's 'shake'." FFS.

(* - Fazoli's, it's a semi-fast-food chain mostly in the SW states, of a similar salubriousness as Nando's, and it's brilliant. You should go. Tell them I sent you.)

Marmite and peanut butter is delicious. I have a subscription to Jackpot peanut butter, and they do a wasabi one which is also delicious #hipster

Radishes. Basically Satan's testes. Awful vile things that can basically f off. Also tinned tuna - bleurgh. How anyone can ruin a lovely bit of fish like tuna by tinning it is beyond me. Yes, preserving it, but it's preserved by turning it into catfood.

Not many foods listed so far I wouldn't at least try, some I love, such as peanut butter and marmite sandwiches.

But that cooked chicken in a can looks grim, never knew they existed!

Marmite is harvested from under the devils toenails

No, it’s a beer byproduct! There are a couple of breweries near where I work, and if the wind’s right, there’s a nice marmite-ey smell wafting around, and all I can think of is beer o’clock!
Vastly better than the stench from the Arla milk processing place just up the road when the tanks and other assorted plumbing’s being cleaned out, I can assure you! 🤢

I once ordered a pizza in France that had Andoilette on it.
Liberal application of ketchup made it possible to eat but it was a miserable lunch.

Grapefruit- Why the hell would anyone eat something that tastes so rank. I'd love to meet the moron who named it as it taste's nothing like grapes.

The Glasgow smell. I miss that.

Taste is vile though.

Very much this.

But also, very much this.

Have you tried frying it?

Have you tried shoving it up your arse? Because I sincerely doubt it would make it taste any worse.

Whenever I hear about fermented foods, I have to wonder how the hell they were invented. Ok, maybe someone got desperate during a famine and scraped the brown residue out of the bottom of a storage barrel, but why did they keep eating it after the famine ended?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiviak

Kiviak or kiviaq is a traditional wintertime Inuit food from Greenland that is made of little auks (Alle alle) fermented in a seal skin.

Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin, beaks and feathers included.[1] As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out.[2] Over the course of three months, the birds ferment,[2] and are then eaten during the arctic winter, particularly on birthdays and weddings.[3]

The process was featured in the third episode of BBC's Human Planet in 2011.[2]

In August 2013 several people died in Siorapaluk from eating kiviak that was made from eider rather than auk. Eider does not ferment as well as auk, and gave those that ate it botulism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakarl

Hákarl (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈhauːkʰartl̥]; an abbreviation of kæstur hákarl, referred to as fermented shark in English) is a national dish of Iceland consisting of a Greenland shark or other sleeper shark which has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months. It has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste, making hákarl an acquired taste.[1]

Fermented shark is readily available in Icelandic stores and may be eaten year-round, but is most often served as part of a þorramatur, a selection of traditional Icelandic food served at the midwinter festival þorrablót.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstromming

Surströmming (pronounced [ˈsʉ̂ːˌʂʈrœmːɪŋ]; Swedish for ''sour herring'') is a lightly-salted fermented Baltic Sea herring traditional to Swedish cuisine since at least the 16th century.

The Baltic herring, known as strömming in Swedish, is smaller than the Atlantic herring, found in the North Sea. Traditionally, the definition of strömming is "herring fished in the brackish waters of the Baltic north of the Kalmar Strait".[1] The herring used for surströmming are caught just prior to spawning in April and May.

During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish its characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste. According to a Japanese study, a newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya.[2]

At the end of the 1940s, surströmming producers in Sweden lobbied for a royal ordinance (Swedish: förordning) that would prevent incompletely fermented fish from being sold. The decree that was issued forbade sales of the current year's production in Sweden prior to the third Thursday in August. While the ordinance is no longer on the books, retailers still maintain the date for the "premiere" of that year's catch.[3]

Love a bit of Andouillette. Yummy 😋

I bought some of that heavily salted liquorice back from Sweden a few years ago. Wife wasn't happy when she tucked into it 🤣 I bloody loves it though.

Just looked it up, it's actually Ammonium Chloride not normal salt. Gives it a certain kick!

Andouilles often appear in Les Routiers lunches, read the menu with care! Once in a lifetime is a quite sufficient reference point. I seem to remember baked beetroot with kangaroo was a popular mix in Aus, it was well partnered with the red cordial or Vic bitter.

A friend tried a Feasters breakfast sausage muffin.

It's meant to be microwaved as it comes but he dismantled it and toasted the muffin and reheated the sausage patty in a griddle pan (2 mins per side). Reassembled c/w plastic cheese slice, included ketchup and hey hey hey. Not a bad do at all. I'll He'll have it again. Think it was a quid.

Modern cheese is mostly ok (maggots, etc. not ok in my book), but when you realize that it must have been invented by accident, I'm guessing that you had to be pretty desperately starving to eat the early stuff.

Modern beer is good, but the first attempts must have been vile. Again, invented by accident, consumed by someone pretty desperate.

Bread, as I understand, was probably invented by accident. People used to bake flatbread, but a batch of dough probably got contaminated with yeast and left long enough to rise. It would have been an improvement over the unleavened bread, so that is the exception.

Marmite rice cakes. Horrid.

I bought them for a snack because I thought if I buy rice cakes with chocolate, or even plain, I'd wolf the lot and get fat, but that I wouldn't be tempted to eat a whole packet of marmite rice cakes. Guess I was right.

Hubby likes a bit of cake and eats most fruit (dried or fresh) and vegetables. However he won't eat carrot cake, courgette cake or chocolate and beetroot cake, Christmas cake, mince pies etc.
A lot of people say why on earth would you put veg in a cake.

Any kind of cheese. On its own or in things. Just reminds me of smelly feet.
