The most horrible thing.....you've ever eaten?

[Stanley Design]

Well? Did you get home on a summers day, reach into the fridge and start chugging the chocolate milk only to realize that it was 3 weeks expired? Or maybe your mom lied and told you there were no mushrooms in your food?

Personally, once I washed a frying pan to make sausage mcmuffins, cooked um up and started eating them, but turns out I didn't rinse the soap out of the pan very well at all. So the whole meal tasted like soap. I ate it anyway and got pretty sick.

When I was growing up, or family had a pitcher in our fridge that was used exclusively for orange juice. For years, I would come home from school and pour myself a glass. One day when I was in high school, I came home from football practice very thirsty. I didn't even bother to get a glass out of the cupboard... I just took the pitcher from the fridge and began gulping away. Around the second gulp, I realized that I wasn't drinking orange juice. My Mom had made broth from turkey leftovers, and had stored it in the pitcher.

I'm getting a little nauseous just thinking about it now, and it happened 25 years ago.

The milk one happened to me, not chocolate, just regular old milk. As soon as it hit my mouth the first thing i clicked with was the out of the ordinary lumpy texture. Quickly followed by the smell and taste.

I wont even look at milk thats out of date, and always have a small wiff of it first!


Last year i cooked a shop bought pizza (which i didnt notice was about a week out of date), the smell when i opened the oven door when it was cooked, even thinking about it is giving me the boak!

HAGGIS.... Don't EVER try it...lol )-(

Probably the nastiest thing I've ever eaten, even though it is pretty common, is raw oysters. That was awful. It was like eating somebody else's cold, salty, slimy snot.

That is my favorite food and has been for years. I probably eat it 2 times a week. You should try eating it live next time, it's much sweeter.

I eat haggis monthly, I'd eat it weekly if I could.

Done the milk thing a few times. The OJ we buy comes in these big white jugs with an orange band on them and an orange lid. Well I came home from football iirc, and reached in the fridge, grab some OJ only to find it was like pomegranate or some weird juice, I had downed about have a litre when I realized this and spewed it all up in the fridge. My dad mixed the lids from the OJ with the weird juice.

I've done the turkey broth thing a few times too Atoz.

I've also drank pure cream from a little pouring thing htinking it was milk, I've drunken vodka thinking it was water, baileys thinking it was chocolate milk etc etc

Plain Tofu. Kim-chee is a close second.

Not as bad as many of you, but when I was young, I drank some pure lemon juice (the kind for cooking--no water or sugar) thinking it was lemonade. Disgusting experience.

Sissy!

My ex-boss was sick and at her mothers house, she found a bottle of ginger ale in the fridge and thought it might help so she downed some. Turned out to be moonshine, and she doesn't drink! Bwahaha. I miss her, she was a crazy hippie.

I'm with you on the tofu, but I love Kimchi. When I was at Cal I used to eat at Steve's Korean BBQ weekly. The BBQ (and the sauce) was the attraction, but I always polished off the kimchi too.

As for me, I'd have to say the most horrible thing I've ever eaten was a dish my grandmother made for me when I was 4 or so. It was made up of cooked rice, colored marshmallows, coconut shavings and Cool Whip. I remember wanting to leave the table as my mom was trying to make me eat a few more bites. My grandma was in the background yelling, "I made that for him special. It's his favorite, () now make him eat it."

A close second is any potato or macaroni salad simply because I can't stand mayonnaise.

That little glimpse into your childhood explains SO much.

I started out with some milk and cookies and ended up bent over my toilet, puking my guts out.

Sour milk. Enough said.

Korean chicken, teri beef and teri chicken are great. I'm not big on soy products or vinegar soaked veggies. I actually don't care for veggies that much anyways.

My wife makes a stir fried pork dish with kimchi and eggs on top of white rice. It's great.
