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.Blood is fine in food, black pudding is nice and I'm not one for strange foods.
About the Polish Soup, it isn't a bit of blood, it's blood. With some cabbage. Not bad at all but kinda ffs

You need to add a sweetner. I grew up on the stuff and have many fond memories of hot cocoa.I once made a hot chocolate with baking cocoa. Never again.
yeah, I had the misfortune to try Marmite....why is it so popular in Britain? are their taste buds burned off?
Bellevue is terrible, a good Kriek made with a lambique and sour cherries is awesome though
I never liked boiled vegetables. My grandmother always used to serve them that way. I prefer to eat them raw. Much more nutritious.

Steam them. Good for fish as well.I never liked boiled vegetables. My grandmother always used to serve them that way. I prefer to eat them raw. Much more nutritious.
Edit, oh extra tip, steam them with a good boullion, and a good pan
Brain of a pig.
Stouffer's frozen meatballs. I opened the bag and they are all covered in literal inches of ice. Cooked them as it said on the box and they were very tough and one of them even had a piece of cartilage in it. I can't even eat too many at a time because my stomach starts to hurt.
My apartment mate keeps telling me to just make my own meatballs, but I am not a hobby chef like him and I don't have the ******* time to be making my own meatballs.

Geez it takes two minutes. You can also buy them at the supermarket, all the hard work has already been done.

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

These are pretty good for a deepfried pizza, the best really. Just make sure you put the oven on 220 otherwise the bodem will be squishy. Especially the one with spinach is great.
Marmite is great, almost as good as vegemite.
Aren't Marmite and Vegemite the same thing?
I used to love Febo burgers, even though I knew it was the equivalent of just picking a burger off the ground, there was just something about them. The fact that I was generally stoned off my tits when I had one probably didn't help.

It's kinda funny, tourists seem to love Febo, most Dutch avoid it like the plague, most go for shoarma after a night out.Not that that is such a good idea if you care about hygiene you wouldn't believe what health-inspection found in most shoarma-stands, urine, poop, even sperm on occasion. But there isn't a stick big enough to slap (especially English) tourists out of a Febo.
I wasn't a tourist, I lived there. The fact that I could walk to work through the 'dam at 6am, without the black prostitutes accosting me, or north African midgets trying to sell me "Coke, speed or E's" proves my non-tourist status.

heh sorry. They don't bother with me either. Tourists usually could as well paint a big T on their head.I wasn't a tourist, I lived there.

When intoxicated, the idea of removing the awkward social interaction from buying fast food seemed great. The resulting experience was not. Luckily it was Den Haag so no tourist traps. Speaking of tourist traps though, entire areas of Amsterdam now make me nauseous. Whoever introduced 'American style' pizza to this once great nation has a lot to answer for.You mean you actually tried it, brave man.

My father is fond of this brands of frozen hamburger patties here called "Bubba Burgers". Aparently, they are made from a more fatty cut of the cow to make them more juicy and flavorful. Just pop them on the grill and eat. He made me one once and I found it quite unpalletable. I call them lard burgers now. I won't eat them again. The hamburger meat he gets from an old Italian man at his store up the block is so much better. I'll take those over lard burgers any day! :P
