What's the worst tasting thing you've eaten?

[Becky]

Brussel Sprouts....not only do they taste bad but you really should have your house sprayed after cooking them.

Worst thing ever offered to me to eat was back in the 70's I was invited to attend a placenta party. I said thanks but no thanks.

This one takes the prize. Someone has to be seriously screwed up in the head to eat a placenta. 

I love brussel sprouts but couldn't eat a placenta, just sayin.  It isn't because of the taste but just why would you?!

  that shouldn't even be something considered EDIBLE... what the heck is wrong with people.

Dogs eat it.  Some people dry it, crush it and put it in pill form.  I mean, if a you can grow a baby off of it, it has got to have some special powers right 

No. That's it's only purpose.


Also this is "worst tasting thing you've eaten" the ones who painstakingly go through all those steps are doing everything in their power NOT to taste it (the dry it, pill it).

Fish oil that was a little to old. When i opened the bottle i almost passed out it was sooooo disgusting! But for some reason (i have no idea why) i just threw it down my throat with some water. The smell and taste still haunts me to this day....
(EDIT) i didn't see you said "nothing rotten".

when i got sick my mom would get garlic and honey to help us get better. Just straight on a spoon. It was the most terrible thing you will EVER taste. But it helps you get better fast.

Goat and Lamb.....


I forgot one, deer meat. I cannot stand deer meat. I shot my very first deer near Randle about 40 years ago. Left the hide on it for 8 hours, because I didn't know. My buddy, the big time hunter, said let it hang for a week in 50 degree weather and we'll butcher it up. It had green slime all over it. I BBQ'd some of it and it was horrible. To this day, it makes me sick. My wife likes it though......

THat was not deer meat, that was spoiled meat.  Try it again but done right!

I have tired again steen. Still can't stand it. Yuck.........

Campmeat, it's okay you don't like deer, we're not very good at hunting deer (yet) so we have a proposition for you! If you just so happen to hunt and kill a deer, we will gladly take it off your hands so you don't have touch the nasty thing. In exchange we'll give you your skull back all cleaned and whitened fair?

Goat cheese, the after taste is like the smell of billy goat pee.
Tripe with hominy , nuf said.

The goat cheese you buy at COSTCO is as you've described. Really, really good goat cheese (chevre) that very fresh is light in flavor and creamy. Much different.

I went to China Bend Winery's annual August Garlic Faire a few years back. Some hippy there had home made goat cheese and it was excellent. Then there after I couldn't find goat cheese that tasted anything like it. Where could I find the cheese you describe Pman?

Look for a gourmet and cheese shop. Probably closer to Seattle, but I don't know much about your area. Look for WA product because it'll naturally be fresher. Here's a listing of WA cheesemakers that might help. Usually, their websites will tell you where they sell it. You can also order some online.

  one of my favorite cheese shops has always been Cheesemonger's Shop in Leavenworth. I don't know, something about that place. Didn't know there was a cheese maker's association, awesome list.

Good to know guys! I might take goat cheese off of my horrible things to eat list if I seek the right stuff

Rutty old mule deer that I shot poorly on a hot day. Even made into Brats with pork and more seasoning than muley meat.. that deer was not edible.

Just what the thread title says, what's the most disgusting TASTING thing you've eaten? Not something spoiled or rotten, not something you THINK should have been gross but was actually alright (like rocky mountain oysters, everyone says they're good but senses say they should be nasty). Something that tasted just as it should and it was so bad you'd never eat it again.

Mine... was something I tried pretty recently. Uni - Sea Urchin sushi. 
It tasted like what I'd imagine the slime that grows on the side of piers and docs. It looked like a tongue. I'm really big on texture, and it was pure mush. It's this weird slimy salty thing. I've had raw oysters too and I thought those were bad with feeling like I was swallowing a salty snot loogy, this was worse 10x, and you had to chew it.

  okay what's yours?

I am right there with you girl!!
We ate some at the hotel bar north of Kona, it was the most repulsive item my brother and I had ever eaten!! We both almost tossed our cookies at the bar! Never again, it was like eating chicken vomit over rotten oysters!!

  just goes to show how interesting it is the difference in everyone's taste - my friend absolutely LOVED it and ate my other piece that I didn't. *Gag*

Huh, thats a tough one. I'd say its a three way tie between smoked mung-fish liver, stressed and gut busted deer, and fire roasted squirrel (simply because I almost lost a few teeth eating it.).

Having said that I'd try all three again. I dont remember squirrel tasting that bad, just needs to be slow cooked. If I kill a deer its going to get eaten. The mung-fish liver...well i guess I just dont want to admit i didn't like something.

A few acquaintances I made this fall talked about crow tasting decent when done with a good vinaigrette marinade.

I shot one and I have to say, not bad.  Not quite as good as grouse but not bad at all.  Fully cooked crow breasts, with some chipotle seasoning.  I gave it a 7/10.  Like gamey chicken.

The worst game I've ever eaten was a black bear that a friend shot that had been eating out of a road-kill pit and trash.  I still taste that beast

Now you're making me want to eat crow when their season comes around...actually, its open right now!

1. Blacktail venison neck roast. I bit into a gland that sprayed the inside of my mouth. Geech!
2. One of the guys at the firehouse was determined to find a way to eat dogfish. Several of his recipes were unspeakable.

Note: You can tell when crow season is open by their color. It is legal to shoot them when they are about to "commit an act of depredation". How do you know that? They turn black.

Today I saw 7 Mexicans standing around a bin skinning something and smiling and talking to each other. Holly cow it was a porcupine. They used a pruner to cut feet and head off then gutted it and wash it still smiling when they carried it into their cabin. WOW
