I would say Olives. But I'm convinced that at some point in the coming years, when my taste buds have been all but wiped out by red wine, my 'Guardian-reader' gene will kick in and I'll have an epiphany and love them
But... after spending the morning in the cinema with the little binners who insisted on feeding me the god-awful stuff, it has to be popcorn. Sweet Jesus! Its bloody awful! Its like eating cardboard! Without the added interest bonus of ink. That would actually add to the experience in a positive way!
I haven't been able to eradicate the taste of the hideous stuff all day either. Despite repeated attempts with the the soothing taste-bud balm of strong continental lager. BLEUUUUURGH!!!!
Is there anything worse?
Lager?
Crab flavored sticks
I'd agree with you about 'cooking' lager
Marmite.
mushrooms
parsnips
I'm not sure on Olives. Every time they're offered up, I have to have a few to see if I like them and I'm still not sure if I do or not. It's a complex flavour and bits of it make me go 'mmmm' and other bits 'bleurgh'
Celery.
Nak Cheese.
peanut butter

Marmite flicks the V's and runs 🙂
Well it's sort of food and some cooks do use lager batter for fish!
Marmite? Olives? Not even close.
Fermented prawn paste is pretty vile. You get it from Thai supermarkets (at least I did, until Tesco's closed them down).
I've only ever managed to smell Kimchee.
PIckled and sliced Goat's brain is pretty nasty.
My kids eat olives as if they were sweets.
I'd say parsnips. I will eat just about anything, but parsnips are the devil's chopper.
chocolate
Tripe.
My stomach curdles at the smell.
PIckled and sliced Goat's brain is pretty nasty.
And you were actually prepared to put that in your mouth? 😯
Cucumber - sent from hell to spoil perfectly good sandwiches.
If you look carefully, the horns of the devil are actually half cucumbers.
I once went on a business trip to Seoul, and there they cook fish in what seems like ammonia. Absolutely terrible and business protocol meant I had to eat the stuff. Simply hideous.
Roasted parsnips are fantastic. Put them in with a joint of lamb and leave to slowly caramelize.
Kimchi +1
You only have to read how it's made. 😯
Green peppers.
Totally agree with you about popcorn.
But it could be worse. My vegetarian friend is working in China and on a business dinner was offered, as the non-meat dish, pickled jellyfish. "It's more like a flower than an animal" was the claim.
"Sour" and "like biting an ear" in case you're wondering.
And you were actually prepared to put that in your mouth?
I was much younger, and visiting my sister in Greece with my (then) girlfriend. It was some kind of village festival. I think I was probably a bit drunk as well.
It looks exactly like you would imagine brain to look like, and tastes sort of soapy and generally nasty. I can't think what Hannibal Lecter saw in it, tbh.
Octopus in oil. The big suckers put me off.
What - and risk infecting a perfectly good roast lamb. Idiocy.
Marmite.
I'd rather suck a fart from a dog than go near it.
Oh no. Jellied eels. With skin and the bone. East end delicacy
Teetosugars - may i congratulate you on how perfectly worded that was. Its almost poetry 🙂
Marzipan.
peanut butter, honey, marmite, curry, chilli, yogurt, brown sauce.
hazelnuts - squirrelsh*t
mushrooms - I mean, mould???
prawns - worms with good PR
cockles,winkles etc - snot in a carry case. I daren't even try oysters
rusty trowel - curry? CURRY?!!!!! Are you insane?!!!!
[i]Cucumber - sent from hell to spoil perfectly good sandwiches.

Completely correct. 'But cucumber doesn't taste of anything' Yes it does, it tastes like fu**ing germ warfare!
Wasabi, Nothing that small should have that effect.
Overcooked from frozen peas. Like you got in school or the forces, they have a brown/grey tinge. Yeugh.
Love fresh properly cooked or raw peas though.
yep curry - stinking crap. Been to a curry house to be social twice in the last 20 years, had an omelette both times.
Liver
oh and after a recent medical assesment anything with gluten in cos it hates my guts, quite literally.
this thread is making me hungry
Squid pizza was pretty nasty
parmo's
chicken stuffed with cheese, drowned in cheese an garlic....with extra cheese on the side and a double portion of cheese.
no wonder theres so many salad dodgers in middlesbrough, home of the parmo
ooh, tough call.. chinese deserts are awful - especially the one of jelly with bits of sweetcorn. Was also once presented with a bowl of noodles that looked, smelled and tasted almost exactly like rubber bands. Couldn't physically eat them, needless to say..
But the most foul tasting food has to be DURIAN. It tastes like a combination of custard, onion and plastic bags.
Chitterlings (Think that's how you spell it)
I'll eat most stuff, but have bad memories of retching uncontrollably at primary school when being pressured to eat stewed prunes....
macdonalds - more like cheep drugs then food
there is not a single thing mentioned above that i do not like. i believe you all to be uncultured heathens. i mean come on! Durian is the greatest tasting fruit in the world . . . it just happens to be the smelliest as well
