You like jellied eels?
I'm amazed.
Caviar. I mean, fish eggs...Really, people pay good money for this shit? Vile.
Liver.
Need to make sure it's still pink. Then it's delicious. Overcooked it quickly turns to leather.
Oysters
Raw. A squirt of lemon juice and fresh black pepper. Instant taste trip to the seaside. Fantastic.
stewed prunes
Had some once, high up in the Pyrenees. The only food my friend and I had was prunes, Emmental cheese (which had been sweating all day under a hot Spanish sun), bourbon biscuits, and fly-filled macaroni.
The prunes were easily the best part of that meal.
I'd rather eat my own internal organs than eat an oyster
taramasalata
or devil jizz
Feta cheese.
It has the taste and consistency of plasticine which has spent ten years at the back of a radiator.
I hate hate hate marzipan
I love curry and indian/ asian food in general
but I can't bare to evan try an indian sweet. we have lots of indian contractors at work and they bring them in sometimes. Without trying them i know they will be unbearably sweet and "wrong" somehow.
Feta Cheese - yeah but that's not "vile" it's just "tasteless"
Radicchio.
Mind-bendingly bitter raw (and you'd better wash your hands after handling it because the bitterness stays on your fingers) & (despite assurances from the cookbooks) not much better when cooked.
Andy
Its broccolli, just broccolli
I've never tried Indian sweets, despite living in Bradford district for nearly 30 years.
one day, maybe. But by the time I've had the samosas & pakoras, and the main course with naan, rice and/or chapattis, I'm too full for stupidly sugary things
swede. What's it [i]for[/i] exactly?
I think you'll find this site has some of the best:

celery innit 😥
Marmite. It's engine oil that's been refined and had sugar added.
Oh, and Caviar. Biggest joke ever.
it has to be said i've tasted better stuff than fermented mares milk, the alcohol content didn't adequately enhance the experience
My mum must have done something right as there is very little on that list that I wouldn't eat or haven't eaten in the past (veggie these days). Not sure about the goat brains or tripe but that's probably just being squeamish. Durian was lovely once you got past the smell! My most unusual meal was in Singapore, being looked after by some locals we did not want to offend - a cook your own affair the highlights of which were char grilled frogs legs; a strange mollusc you boiled, chopped the tipped of the long shell off, sucked the "foot" out of the hole to create a vacuum, then sucked it back through from the other end; and some weird giant egg cured in horse's urine. Save the egg, it was all quite nice!
I've also caught and eaten squirrel on a survival course - went down like hot snot!
Were some of you one of those fussy kids that were a nightmare to feed at a friend's house?
mushrooms
Tripe. Own up. It's carpet underlay really isn't it?
2 pages and no-ones mentioned sprouts....****in' nasty!
Sprouts - the devils own bollox..taste like the are pickled in p1ss..****ing vile!!!
ben thats for you 😉
I put a packet of that microwaveable popcorn in the micro the other day. I got the setting rong and burnt the hell out of it. It kinda melded into a black plasticy lump. I can't get the smell of burnt popcorn out of my kitchen, doesn't matter ho much de-odouriser I use. It's bad stuff.
one from left field here, Spuds, in any variety or flavour, they make me hurl every time. Marmite is pretty vile too
Celery, and there I was thinking it was just me!
Snails or any mollusc type thing. And fish lips. Like spaghetti hoops for the seriously deranged
Taramasalata
Corned Beef
I'd rather eat my own internal organs than eat an oyster
Snap.
Yeuuuuch!!
I'll happily eat anything suggested on this thread up until now.. the one thing i will never, ever eat again is [b]sea urchin[/b]. Nasty, spongey goo that tastes like licking the seabed.. the buying recommendation for them isn't any better. "A fresh sea urchin has firm spines and a tightly closed 'orifice'."... so wrong and in so many ways.. ick.
Also, i've never had it.. but have been told by a couple friends that 'sazae' is shockingly vile.
[url= http://7evening.wordpress.com/2007/11/24/food-people-shouldnt-eat-sazae/ ]clicky for description of sazae[/url]
Okra. Cooked badly it looks and tastes like Satan's snot.
has firm spines and a tightly closed 'orifice
I used to date a girl who must have been related...
Beef dripping of if you prefer, Mucky fat. Anything with "mucky" and "fat" in the name has to be wrong.

klunk's link to Surstromming led on to this:
[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk ]Lutefisk[/url]
I've had it once in Canada.. i didn't think it was too bad..
but here's a quote:
Interview with Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything (translated quote from a 1999 article in Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet):
Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction. It is currently the only exception for the man who ate everything. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal, I gladly eat worms and insects, but I draw the line on lutefisk.
What is special with lutefisk?
Lutefisk is the Norwegians' attempt at conquering the world. When they discovered that Viking raids didn't give world supremacy, they invented a meal so terrifying, so cruel, that they could scare people to become one's subordinates. And if I'm not terribly wrong, you will be able to do it as well.
But some people say that they like lutefisk. Do you think they tell the truth?
I do not know. Of all food, lutefisk is the only one that I don't take any stand on. I simply cannot decide whether it is nice or disgusting, if the taste is interesting or commonplace. The only thing I know, is that I like bacon, mustard and lefse. Lutefisk is an example of food that almost doesn't taste anything, but is so full of emotions that the taste buds get knocked out.
Lemon grass, tastes like bleach 😥
Bananas, Peanut Butter, Mushy Peas (any processed ones really)and worst of all by a long way
Satans excrement aka Licorice
radish........... closely followed by celery. puke.
Most of the stuff in this thread is fine. I don't like things with a weird/slimey/slippery texture though. So that's all the odd seafood stuff out as well as jellied things. Worst thing I've actually had was squid rings in Barcelona. They still had the suckers on them :\
Tripe
Chitterlings (Think that's how you spell it)
I was coerced into eating some chitterlings once when I lived in a flat above a butchers' shop. They were quite nice actually, a bit like tongue or processed ham. The only thing to hint at their origins was a slight aftertaste of bile and poo...
There's lots of perfectly palatable food being listed on this thread. How would all the "I can't stand overcooked peas" people feel about eating something where maggots hit you in the face as you tuck in?

I had the 'olive epiphany' a couple of years ago. Start with the fresh green ones.
Most vile foodstuff? Pickled eggs, without a doubt :gip:
Tripe +1000 - the texture of an old inner tube and a slight whiff of s**t 🙁
Goat's cheese. That musky, goaty stink I can pick out at ten yards. Even a trace can/will spoil a whole dish for me. It's a shame, I want to like it.
Another vote for mushrooms.
Also Branston type Pickle. I want to taste the food, not some revolting vinegar based crap (with lumps in)!
This goes for ketchup too (without the lumps)
[i]This goes for ketchup too[/i]
I've got the burning materials here, does anyone know where DezB lives? 😉
Most of the stuff listed on here isn't actually that bad, but I challenge anyone to eat boiled sea urchin and like it. It looks like grey sponge and has a bland taste at first that steadily becomes utterly vile. apparently it's a delicacy..ugh.
