Terrible foods.
 
My mom just got a box of dried Goji berries as an experiment. As in, "what the Hell is a Goji berry?" The answer is something that tastes like seared wood chips. I'm not kidding. All three of us in the household came to the same conclusion independently. She spent $5 on these things. A 2"x3"x4" box may not SEEM big, but with these things fully dried and packed in there with zero room left, there are literally hundreds of them. Max anyone can stand at once is five. Even a handful, as horrid as it is to have that many in your mouth, barely seems to dent their numbers.


What are horrible foods you've had the misfortune of consuming?

Cheeseburger soup.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Also, for 'terrible' as in terrible, rather than foul tasting, there is pesto cheese fat which I invented (completely by accident). The ultimate in "so wrong, but tastes so right".

The closest I can think of (because I like most of the things I eat) is gorgonzola. And even with that, the taste isn't my problem with it--it tastes kind of like bleu cheese, which I really enjoy. But it stinks horribly; it smells like some kind of rotten bodily discharge. (It's not for nothing that it's in a category called "fragrant cheeses".) But if I could eat it without the smell, I think I'd really like it.

Speaking of foods with smells I can't get past--beets. Also, creamed corn is the only food the smell of which has made me want to vomit.

Man, your mom sure is wacky.

Horrible foods, does juice count as well? Cause if so, tomato juice. That shit is horrible.

Anything with (too much) ginger or vinegar.

Good/bad thing I eat pizzas once in a blue moon nowadays.
 
Fried stinky tofu tastes great, the problem is that it smells like feces.

I remember when I was much much younger I experimented with a bowl of cereals and microwaved custard. It did not compliment each other; it did not compliment each other at all.

Some types of tomato purée on pizzas. If the pizza's tomato sauce is too tangy/too much of it I will start to gag on it. This is usually a problem with pizzas of bad quality.

I've had Goji juice before. It's usually marketed as a natural health product. It doesn't do shit. Though, the juice tasted strong and weird, but not out and out bad like the berries seem to.



As always, the mainstay, Dulse.

Goji berries are more of an ingredient than a food.

OH SHIT THIS VINEGAR TASTES HORRIBLE.

Pie floater for commercial foods
Cheesy rice balls for cooked ourselves.

I would like to find the person that thought mixing lemon with meatballs was a great idea, and shove that down his throat. See if he likes it better than I did.
I mean with ideas like that, whats next? Lobster prepared with caramel coated banana?

Yes I'm bitter.
