Oh hang on:
Biscuits and Gravy, in the southern parts of USA. Not so much how bad it is, but using the names of nice things then serving up such a bowl of disappointment.

Chicken feet are actually quite tasty, although best to have a couple of drinks beforehand the first time so that you can relax a bit and focus on the taste, not the appearance.
Offal is disgusting. Liver, kidneys, intestines, tongue, brains, etc. No idea why anyone thinks that should be sold as food.
Liver.
tripe, chicken's feet ('walkaways'), andouillette, lemon curd
Kimchi
Crocodile, at The Carnivore restaurant in Nairobbery. Bony, gristly, pale coloured lumps that tasted like chicken and pork gone rancid.
Gari , igusi soup on a locals only supply boat in eg
Foomshe (basically gari)
Anything served by the centril catering company in Angola
Bbq Sheep's testicle..... (A delicacy and an honour when the head of fimily presents it to you in Turkmenistan ) so no backing out when the whole family looking at you
It tastes exactly as you would imagine.....and a bit like a cross between a warm oyster. And an olive.
And chall. Fermented camels milk...boak.
Just about everything I ate in Zambia. We were on a school exchange thing so ate a people's houses. Everyone else got beers and westernised food. I got to be adventurous. The fried caterpillar would be OK hot with chilli but cold and soggy nope. I really like whiting but the tiny fresh water fish there were dried in the sun, tasted liked dried rotten fish. And there's no way to have cassava that makes it palatable. They stopped a bus to get me some roast cassava, everyone else dropped it out open windows I had a full bus waiting for my outward signs of enjoyment.
Sounds a bit off because it's a poor area of a poor country but...
The fat and sugar vomit bomb that is this ..

Sprouts..
Had onhundrethidiot gari is cassava root mixed with flour.
Think foomshe is too
Andouillette, eaten whilst on a company junket to Le Trait in France. Not to be confused with its weakling cousin Andouille, Andouillette to put it bluntly reeks of turd. It's a sausage comprised mainly of a pigs lower intestine and colon. The smell became apparent whilst it was still 20 feet away. I should have listened to the warnings 😀
Truly gag worthy.
Fox
Unicum.
(Not the type that comes out of students).
Marmite

"this piece of dead animal is delicious!"
"How about this piece an inch to the left?"
"What are you, insane?"
Andouillette 4th'd.
Stayed in a little b&b in France and the owners suggested I order the local speciality at the village restaurant. "Very kind of you to recommend something" I said, little knowing they were probably pissing themselves with laughter.
Smells like poo, tastes like it smells, and has the texture of a burnt balloon. Rank.
Mushrooms. Everything about them is vile. I've tried over the years, but still the one thing I cannot eat and now never will. Even a slight trace of the flavour in a pie or something is disgusting to me. The texture is even worse.
When I was a student, a housemate and I found a pig uterus in the frozen food section at the local chinese supermarket. We defrosted it, opened the bag and were overwhelmed by a smell of ammonia and rotting pork, I think we attempted to cut it up and cook it but the smell was that bad it has affected my memory of what happened next.
Worst thing I actually ate is a tie between wither moussaka or pacific pie.
Marmite.

My girlfriend stuffed it inside a chicken breast for tea one night without telling me, when I got to that bit I spat it straight out and accused her of giving me a rotten chicken.
I've tried a few weird and wonderful foods but nothing has ever come close to tasting as bad as that vile stuff 😆
The devils chug-nuts...

Liver, kidneys
Marmite
Sprouts
are all ace!
seeing that cheese stuffed in meat post above...
did accidentally get the wrong sausages in Germany once. they had cheese running down the middle of the sausage in a vein.
nfw was I eating that after it ejaculated the moment I tried to cut into it.
Fried tarantula in Cambodia. Burnt to a crisp and very, very greasy.
I see an Asian theme running through the answers here. Let me make my own contribution - sea cucumber. Not so much the taste, even though it's a bit horrid, but more the consistency which resembles what I imagine a slug is like to chew.
I ordered andouillette for my wife off a French hotel menu when we were younger.
My steak was yummy. 😀

Binners, are you still desperately trying to play down your middle-class metrosexual credentials? 🙂
Team Xmas meal at a Brewers Fayre
+1 magic mushrooms!! However the resulting effect was worth gagging them down
Uni (Sea urchin) sushi.
Yeah, there very little food I avoid, but I wouldn't be in a mad hurry to try that again. Like wee hairy bogies.
Some 'Chinese' 'food' in Burundi, made by someone who'd obviously never had the real thing !
Whatever it was I ordered in the Brecon Tandoori. It bore no relation to any Indian, Anglo/Indian, co-op ready meal or even a 1960's vesta curry at all.
Fried tarantula in Cambodia. Burnt to a crisp and very, very greasy.
To be fair that's more a comment on bad cooking? For instance I once purchased a doner kebab that was like peppery, bitter, weird-tasting boot-leather steeped in a glass-full of (cold) recycled/burned-tasting oil. Vomitous, and definitely one of the worst thing I've eaten. But my local kebabier (sp?) OTOH makes a divine one.
I'd have to try 'nicely-cooked tarantula' in order to comment further 😉
arrpee:
Like wee hairy bogies.
😆 From where do we order these?
it has to be ayahuasca. the most disgusting tasting thing available to mankind.

What was described, we think, on a Basque menu as Ham Hock. Mmmmm, hammy porky goodness...
Was a pile of gelatinous gloop, nothing more. It wasn't actually mine, but MsJimmy's, and even sitting opposite watching her tackle it I was gipping.
The incredibly well named

Chicken livers are quite nice and I had duck hearts at a restaurant the other day and they were exquisite, seafood is all good and roe/caviar is fine also if a bit overrated
overcooked sprouts are awful because when done well they are great
Andouilette - one swallowed mouthful was enough, didn't taste that bad but repeated on me for ages - I know a bloke who had it with all his work mates in the Airbus canteen thinking it was sausage then had to sit through a 3hr meeting reeking and burping 😀
Durian fruit got as far as my hand towards my mouth and I said no. took 3 days to get the stink off my fingers (and that included a day or so of scuba)
Olives! Binners I is disappoint..
Beetroot..bloody awful stuff
Semolina..no,just no,
Angel delight.. the taste of artificialness
These Costco protein bars don't really rate on the scale of disgust that things such as tripe and liver exist on, but they were intensely disappointing. The pale ones are "Cookie Dough" flavor, which is just what they taste like. Turns out that raw flour actually tastes pretty vile. I figured that cookie dough tastes much better if you bake it, so I tried toasting one until it was smoking slightly. It did improve the taste, but it still sucked. The chocolate ones were slightly less horrid, not really pleasant to eat, but nicer than raw cookie dough. That experiment accounted for 2 bars out of a box of 20. I tried giving the others away at work, but word soon spread how vile they were and nobody would eat them.

Wet, earthy magic mushrooms out of damp newspaper, very gippy experience but I soon got over it 😯
My sister's liver and bacon casserole, made when at school. Even the dog turned its nose up.
Fish and chips on Brighton pier and cheese n onion crisp-flavour chocolate (yes, it does exist!!??)
Whilst Harkal was hideous I was expecting it to be grim...
A far worse experience is whan something that should be at least fine turns out to be vile... for example the Lasagne that I was served in New York that was constructed using about a kilo of Philadelphia cheese or the rogan in Barmouth that was some unidentifiable meat product and gravy .... getting something made by findus from a corner shop would have guaranteed a better dining experience
Durian Pizza or Duck Feet the Webby bit is so tough to chew. I never tried it but Elephant trunk clam looks well like a clam with a penis Google it....
