Worst things you have ever drank/ate?

[Veho Nex]

Tonight I consumed the worst possible drink Ive ever had the misfortune of purchasing.

A smell of putrid death emanated from the bottle upon the first crack of the protective seal. A strong and pungent odor that my face had to wade through only to have my taste buds assaulted by bringers of death.

Gentlemen! Gentle ladies! I warn ye all, do not drink Lime-Cucumber Gatorade!


Has anyone else had a horrible experience with food and drink purchases you have made?

True story: living in Madrid with a host family. The food is terrible, terrible. Imma gonna starve.

Hatch a plan: Every day I will visit a tapas bar, eat something disgusting, so that the host family food won't seem to horrible.

I eat blood sausage, barnacle, sea urchin, weird gelatinous cow parts, the works. Finally I take the plunge and eat goat's head.

... and kinda liked it.

Never got used to host family's food. Discovered I had a "thing" for goat's head.

Worst food of all: Sea urchin. Like biting into rotten mercury.

Blood-sausage and goat-head is delicious. The worst I ever ate is probably sorstroming, it's fermented fishthat is illegal to bring on an airplane as the cans can explode.

I must say I kinda liked it on a leaf of bread and some pickles, the smell when you open the can is overpowering though, you can't imagine actually eating that. I'll try anything, not something I'd eat every week, your house will still smell 2 days later, it even goes into your clothes it's vicious.

We are kinda guilty as well by the way, rotten herring is really popular here. But it doesn't smell like a zombie-horde

Edit, got to add Polish blood-soup. It's exactly what it says, it's made of blood, from poultry. It's a realy nicetasting and hearty meal with some bread, but you are really eating blood.

I have also eaten the testicles of a bull in Spain. Squishy. But also not bad at all. You can buy them here as well at Turkish shops but I don't know how to prepare them, they also have goat-heads, that should be easy, just put it in the oven and eat it with that delcious Turkish yoghurt.

Blood is fine in food, black pudding is nice and I'm not one for strange foods.

I once ate a mushroom in a curry thinking it was a bit of chicken. It made me boke, vile texture, I thought it was a slug.

Yeah black pudding is nice, I love it with some sour aples. The Frenchie who runs a store here just brought from from la France, real bloodsaucage is hard to get here, all you can get is a slice of something that has no taste at all I want the ones they eat in Belgium an France, boudin noir.

About the Polish Soup, it isn't a bit of blood, it's blood. With some cabbage. Not bad at all but kinda ffs

I once made a hot chocolate with baking cocoa. Never again.

You can make an omelette from spare blood; it is very eatable with the bark of a birch tree...

[Gregoshi]

You need to add a sweetner. I grew up on the stuff and have many fond memories of hot cocoa.

[Ibrahim]

yeah, I had the misfortune to try Marmite....why is it so popular in Britain? are their taste buds burned off?

[Moros]

[Fragony]

Bellevue is terrible, a good Kriek made with a lambique and sour cherries is awesome though

It was like metallic water. Disturbingly bad.

After moving to the Netherlands, anything from a Febo (brand of snack bar) stand.

You mean you actually tried it, brave man. What you pull out the wall has been laying there for hours sometimes, especially in the tourist trap area's it's just begging for getting food-poisening

Worst thing I ever drank: milk in Europe. I don't know what they do to their milk, but it does not taste like milk. I grew up drinking raw milk my family would purchase from some Amish, and when the Amish moved away had to start drinking store milk. It tasted very different, but still tasted like milk. Milk sold in Europe tastes vile beyond belief.

Worst thing I ever ate: mushrooms. Eating mushrooms violates my beliefs, so I always avoid them. I did however one accidently eat a slice of pizza containing them and nearly threw up.

You probably had pasturised milk, that stuff is horrible if you are used to fresh milk, pasturisied milk has been heated up to kill bactirae. Fresh milk is what everybody buys here in the Neds, but you won't find it in France or Spain unless you buy your milk at a local farmer. Yeah, it sucks

Mushsrooms are delicious by the way, they taste like a good steak if you use good butter. I always wrap a steak up in tinfoil after baking it, and use the juices to bake the mushrooms. It's delicious, your faith is cruel.

basically they take all the cream out of the milk because its too valuable to be wasted on cornflakes and tea.

Shop milk especially in places like America or Europe where the dairy industry is so big will always taste less creamy.



Also you might be used to drinking milk from housed cattle rather than more natural pasture based milk.

[Beskar]

Depends if it was full-cream, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk. Then there is powdered, Soya and other versions.

As it sounds like you drank straight from the cow, then there would most likely be some differences as it is usually pasturised, but it would still be 'milk'.

That's disgusting. It is a shame that people still hunt whales. Such intelligent and gentle creatures. :(

You don't like country fried steak...? Are you sure you're human?

First they used terrible steak mince covered it in some form of batter an breadcrumbs or something and then they pan fried. I assume in a pan although from the amount of grease it wouldnt surprise me if it had be deep fried.

It was a total waste of mince never mind steak
