• It wasn't exactly the most disgusting thing I ever tasted, but the most shocking difference between what I expected and what I got was definitely buttermilk. I was about 13, on a trip with my dad, we stopped into a diner for breakfast and they had it on the menu, so I decided to try it. It sounded great, mmmm, delicious, creamy, buttery milk. Yum. It tasted like liquid cottage cheese. To this day my dad still laughs about the look on my face when I took a sip.
• Old man's cock.
• Pigeon shit splatter to the mouth (accident) Chunk of solid, gooey Cherry Coke mold (accident) Alpo dog food, "wet" variety (intentionally)
• I ask because I'm having a troublesome zit right now, and it got me thinking to the time I accidently tasted pHisoderm in the shower. It tasted like nothing I had ever experienced -- it was like the taste was tearing my tongue apart with a cattle prod. Like brown electricity. Still makes me shudder.
• Jones Soda's "Brussel Sprout" flavor
• olives. Bleah.
• They do say smelling works like tasting, so if that's true, I've tasted some pretty foul trouser coughs.
• Soba with cold grated yama-imo. Like a mating mass of roundworms served in their own slime.
• Monkeyfilter: a mating mass of roundworms served in their own slime.
• Natto. I can't even be in the same room as it's being eaten.
• Natto: It also smelled kinda like baked beans. If they were baked in the filthy heat of Satan's asshole.
• An earplug, the foam kind, used. Just woke up in the middle of the night and found one had somehow migrated from my ear canal to my mouth. I'd been chewing the hell out of it, too.
• Bong water.
• Peglyte.
• I love natto. Seriously. I could eat it every day and never tire of it. On reflection of my old comment, jellied pig's feet were pretty darn nasty tasting!
• mmmm /me <3 pig's feet
• Peglyte Oh .... yeah. I had to take something similar prior to surgery; for what I can only imagine are sadistic reasons, they made it lemon-ginger flavored. /shudder
• The shame of moral cowardice.
• My two immediate answers of "earwax" and "natto" have already been discussed, so I have the most unexpected thing: years ago, waking up at my new boyfriend's house in the middle of the night, parched, and reaching for the glass of water on the nightstand, only to take a big swig and realize it was pure vodka! Talk about your spit takes. I later asked him why on earth he had an entire glass of vodka sitting in his bedroom and he said he'd poured it days ago and had been sipping on it throughout the week. Ewww. When I was a kid, I accidently ate a really bad, almost rotten-black maraschino cherry from one of those cans of fruit cocktail that was so popular in the 1970s. Put me off maraschino cherries even to this day.
• Rakfisk I beat you all, believe me.
• I am no longer friends with sugarmilktea.
• The unholy mixture of Fletcher's Castoria and RC Cola that my mother made me drink as a small child. ("...ingredients to soothe the stomach" my ass.) Honorable mention goes to that "cherry" flavored penicillin once prescribed for small children. I can still taste that stuff.
• I drank a beer (Goebel's) that had been open and sitting on a friend's radiator in college that had been there well over a month. The bottle was dark, so I couldn't really see if there was any growth going on in the bottle. I assume there was. I want to say that it tasted like skunk piss, but I have not had the occasion to drink skunk piss. Yet. I also drank a beer as part of a bet that contained mustard, ketchup, and the contents of someone's chewing tobacco dip cup, including one wad of chew. There may have been two wads of chew. It also contained something minty. I drank that and did not throw up, though I came as close as I have ever come.
• I am no longer friends with sugarmilktea. *cries natto tears* Please, don't do this to me!
• Batteries taste awful, but it is a handy way to test them. And that can of beer that was right beside where I put my can of beer down but had in fact been serving as an ashtray for several hours.
• You've stepped over the line sugarmilktea. I'm sorry. *refuses to kiss Mr Gomichild if he's eaten natto*
• OH NOES roryk! Not the sip of the ashtray beer can! that is worse than natto even....
• Paregoric. Bloody pediatrician prescribed it for everything when I was a kid. I still can distinctly remember the smell and taste of it to this day. Only recently did I find out that it is actually a kiddie version of laudanum, which makes me really question why my parents were always feeding us that crap . . . .
• The most disgusting thing I've ever tasted is my foot, but over time I have become used to it's taste in my mouth.
• The ashtray beer can (and once, Dr. Pepper can) marks the one time I vomited IMMEDIATELY after swallowing something. I mean, literally two seconds after.
• I didn't immediately vomit after my ashtray beer can experience, but I did sputter for a good half hour, trying to spit out all the bits of ash. Vomitting would have been more effective.
• Ooooh, paregoric! The secret ingredient of Parapectolin, which kept me alive while on a trip to Yucatan during the 70s. Nothin' quite like good ol' opium, yessir. Didn't mind the taste so long as it combated the effects of the mystery foods... which brings me to Worst Thing Ever Eaten. For me, plain old cauliflower. With cheese sauce. Burps smelled like "trouser coughs" (nice one, kitfisto) for hours afterward. I'm still queasy at the thought. Cruciferous veggies, away! Taint not my plate. I am unmoved by your anti-cancer claims!
• All this talk of ashtrays has reminded me of something truly disgusting - I recall a particular time when I was very sick (probably borderline walking pneumonia) and smoked a pack of cigarettes a day (phew, has been many many years now!). It hurt like hell to inhale that putrid smoke, but of course I just "needed" that nicotine fix. Deep in the recesses of my throat there must have sat a large congealed lump of mucus that sucked the smoke as it passed into my lungs. And there it sat for days, becoming a nasty, greenish yellow ashtray sponge of sorts. It was coughed up days later - a massive beast that tasted the most bitter vile imaginable. I nearly vomited.
• I never kiss and tell.
• I dunno about flavor, per se, but I can say that it's pretty damn gross to take an unconscious bite of your salad only to feel something *moving* after a couple chews...
• Oh LordSludge, thanks to you I will be checking my greens very carefully this evening. *lifts lettuce leaf, peers underneath apprehensively*
• I'm not too sure about the taste of this thread..
• Please refrain from licking the thread.
• This thread tastes like cat food.
• Bug spray. It was an accident. I could taste it for days. Also, okra. Fucking slimy. The thing I thought I wouldn't like but ate on a dare was deep fried rooster gonads. Great. Tastes like...chicken.
• I'll lick anything and where I want. Or don't want.
• My favorite variety, 1978 vintage Purina Cat Chow. It had this salty-sweet white powder dusted on the small, dry cross-shaped bits. I couldn't get enough. The poor cats must have been hungry.
• Oooh. This reminds me. Deep fried oysters. By far the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. I love raw oysters, and you can deep fry almost anything and it should be good. But deep fried oysters are an exception. Got them at a restaurant a couple years ago because they were out of fried clams, and I figured "how different could they be?" Big, big, mistake. They taste like a hot crusty shell filled with hot fishy flavoured mucousy snot. Ugh. I finished the entire serving anyways, but that was just letting peer pressure and pride get the better of me.

• ear wax
• Oysters are oogly. As are clams and mussels. Geoducks are a whole nuther kettle o' fish.
• Sea urchin at a sushi bar. It tasted like the stench of a seashell that still has organic matter in it after sitting out under the hot sun for a few days - imagine the smell of the ocean mixed with rotting fish. I barely made it to the restroom before vomiting.
• Fimbulvetr: It must have impressed you. You posted it twice. MonkeyFilter: a hot crusty shell filled with hot fishy flavoured mucousy snot Keep 'em comin' gang! Fear not, I will never be a zombie. I do NOT like the taste or texture of braaaaaiiins.
• I guess you could say the memorey of that meal keeps coing back up on me.
• Ugh. Too many spelling errors to shake a stick at. Too late at night to be posting.
• In college, there was an initiation that we young freshman football players had to endure called "The Boot". It was (supposedly) an old loggers boot that was first filled with beer and then passed to all of the seniors to put in it whatever their black hearts desired. The secret to drinking it (no spilling) was to strain it between your teeth. Ummm, I need to brush my teeth now.
• Uni (sea urchin) can be really touch and go. For it to taste good it needs to be supa-dupa fresh.
• Ugliest thing ever was "sopa de pajarilla", a dark soup made from some sort of offal, disgusting, vile, foul smelling, impossibly textured and supposedly healthy. It was impossible to eat anything else once that thing was served at the table.
• I recently tried sauerkraut juice. Curiousity killed the tastebuds.
• Ugh, that reminds me of the big gulp of dill pickle juice I tried once. I couldn't face eating pickles for years afterwards.
• Armor-all.
• As a kid I actually used to like drinking a little pickle juice, olive juice, saurkraut juice, what have you.
• Mosquito repellant. But I learned what way to point the can, so it was educational.
• Pussy. Not as a general term. I'm thinking of one specific specifmen. Ugh.
• (TP: Haha, yeah, I've actually had to bail out on that before. Got about 6 inches away and.. WHOA, THE SMELL!!) A plate full of blue crabs is pretty nasty if you get it in your head that they're really just large bugs. MMmmmm, cockroaches... We used to play a sort of Russion roulette with Harry Potter jelly beans mixed with regular, tasty Jelly Bellies. Take a bean from the bag, don't look at it, and hold it to your forehead so that others can see. If you're lucky, you get Blueberry, Watermelon, or Green Apple. If you're not, you get Earthworm, Earwax, Vomit, etc.
• Uni (sea urchin) can be really touch and go. For it to taste good it needs to be supa-dupa fresh. Gomi, are you saying that you willingly eat uni? And you have cut me off for eating natto? *shakes head in disbelief* Had supa-dupa fresh uni in Japan. I think the spines were still moving about. It was the only thing in Japan that caused me to gag. My mind thought, "this is what it would be like if I scrapped the bottom of a dirty aquarium with a spoon and ate it." Then I had not-so-fresh uni in the States (though it was a fairly nice Japanese place), and I was able to swallow it. Geoducks. Have had it raw. Was a bit hard to swallow, just getting past the mental block. Yes, they are quite phallic. The girl who prepared kept making this reference herself, "it's like slicing open a big penis!" she commented as she skinned the geoduck, and then proceeded to dice it up. I shivered a little bit as I chewed on it.
• *dittoes Gomi*
• Armor-all. posted by squidranch Do I really want to know? Probably not.
• Thanks for taking the bait Bluehorse. It's all set up and pay-off. Do you get it now?,
• And what TenaciousPettle said. Almost put me off the stuff.
• Imagine if it stank, and was shoved down your throat, triggering your gag reflex and threatening to cut off your oxygen supply. Jee' sayin'.
• Are we taking about George W. Bush as "president", or something else?
• MonkeyFilter: Imagine if it stank, and was shoved down your throat, triggering your gag reflex and threatening to cut off your oxygen supply. Too easy, Ticky. Squid, you're such a prevert. I'm not surprised this thread was AmBushed in less than 100 posts. Tasteless.
• I'm ok on the uni on certain occasions - it has to be practically crawling across the table and only from certain areas. Otherwise I won't touch it. Also it's much better not to have it on the sushi rice. Just by itself and dipped in some soy sauce into which you mixed wasabi. But it's not like uni is my favourite thing. However I must say I don't recommend fish sperm. The eggs are ok - mmmm ikura-don - but jellied fish sperm is just.... odd...
• Pickled turnip. I wanted to shave my tongue. And I also drank what I thought was water and turned out to be vodka -- another instant-puke situation.
• Natto, in the form of lovely to looking natto rolls.
• > drank what I thought was water and turned out to be vodka Ah yes, the soda bottle containing poitin (potcheen) that my nine-year-old self thought contained soda. Ugh.
