Poll question: Worst Tasting Food Of All Time

You know you've had something that was just wretchedly awful you just want to spit it out across the room and have it land in the lap of whover cooked it. Well, time to name that food....

33. how about deep fried twinkies

This year at our local fair they served deep fried twinkies with strawberries and chocolate toppings, That was even too much for a twinkie lover like me.

130. Deep-fried twinkies- yum!

Sure the concept may seem a little crazy, but I can vouch for them being delicious after trying them last year at my local fair. haha

2. Ugh..of those listed...black licorice...

...I've never had haggis, since you have to go to Scotland to eat the real thing (or make it yourself). Some of the ingredients are not available in stores in the USA (sheep's heart and lungs, I think).

I love black jelly beans too. I remember when I was little and would go visit my grandparents. My grandfathter love black licorice and my grandmother hated even the smell. My grandfather would eat some then chase her around the house trying to kiss her.

93. Chris Rock cracked me up

as Malcolm X on SNL - he said "the man" was the one who made "black jellybeans the worst tasting candy". Actually I love black jellybeans, and I used to like liver too. My worst would be something like Lima beans, or ruttabegga (sp.). My mom used to make stuffed peppers and stink up the whole house. None of us kids would eat them. I used to like brocolli too, but although I am almost half German I never could stand sauer-kraut.

119. Collards are one of the milder greens.

Just like any other green, you got to cook them well. With collards I put carrots and onions. It sweetens them. I do the same with Kale. A dab of butter before serving is good, or vinegar sprinkled on them add a real zing. Cooking them with some jowl bacon is good too. The salt will counter the bitterness. Be sure to sop up the pot liquor, a lot of nutrients there. Collards are the poor man's food.

But you've got to batter it up and fry it until it's crispy. Also, okra is an essential ingredient of gumbo. But eating it boiled just isn't right.

15. Brussel Sprouts no doubt + grits and cabbage (from the smell)

My mother makes my stepfather cook his cabbge outside on the back porch. I've spent really long weekends in cars with a bunch of guys on roadtrips and nothing nothing compares to the smell of cabbage ....................including the time we all got REALLY wasted and my best friend puked with such force that he shit his pants, nope cabbage smells worse than that hotel rooom any day. True story.

However, polenta is really good if you pour it into a sheet pan, let it harden - cut it into squared then lightly fry it. Pour some sauce over it, and :9 I think that's a Molto Recipe, if I'm not mistaken - at least he inspired me to try it. You can do lots of good thing with polenta. Mix in some cheese, veggies, meat. I've made it with pancetta and asiago. :9

...by varying the amount of cooking liquid and/or cooking time, you can vary the thickness. I prefer mine thick, about the consistency of mashed potatoes, but that's me.

35. veggimite

Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 02:53 PM by goddess40 It was the vilest stuff I've ever tasted. My Mothers vote is for garlic mashed potatoes. (sorry to those of you down under, but I really did try it with an open mind) edit - I also have to claim anything my brother has ever made - he gets a tad bit carried away with his recipes. My hubby does the same thing if a little is good a lot much be better.

There is a specific gene linked to cilantro aversion. If you have inherited this gene, cilantro will have a "soapy" taste.

118. Are you sure about that???

I was in the USA 1989 for a longer time, and in Cincinatti, where one of my friends was studying, the last day, when we were very very drunk, we bought lots of Hamburgers from White Castle, but more as a kind of joke, to try the worst food this world has to offer. And it was the worst. Did they have those blue-white design in the 80ies? And the Hamburgers were just about 60 or 70 cents if I remember correctly. Wow! I loved your country so much then, that I even could live with White Castle then (although I will put a comma before "that", till the day I die). Hello from Germany, Dirk

138. Well I had them in Pittsburgh

and I thought they were good! The ones in Pittsburgh had white tiles and a "castle" design and looked like diners from the 40s. It makes me so sad to see how this country is changing so much and how people in other countries feel about it (with good reasons). It's funny to think about how I grew up during the sixties and seventies and it seemed like a different country than now. I hate all the Walmarts and strip malls and Mc Mansions. Now I'm saving some money to visit Europe and probably won't want to come back from my vacation!

77. Yes. I'll explain

Lutefisk is dried cod. That is how the old scandinavians used to preserve it. The problem with drying fish is that the fat on the outside of the filet becomes rancid, so in order for Lutefisk to not be truly heinous you must soak it in lye to break down the rancid fat. Kind of like washing the fish. Then you must soak it for a few days in clean water, each day replacing the water.(Do all the soaking in the garage or outside, because it can be smelly) Use enamel or stoneware crockery because if you use metal you'll taste it. If done properly you should be left with soft white fish. If it is gelatinous or grey it is not done right. Take that fish and broil it, serve with butter or a cream sauce, and it should be pretty good.

75. SOY MILK

I ran a 10K race last year and after we finished they were giving out all this free stuff. So I grabbed a soy milk and curiously took a swig. I spit it up all over the place. NAsty! Of course I told by now wife how good it was back at home...she took off the cap and took a whole mouthful of it and almost puked. I laughed the rest of the night.

131. I agree!

I find soy milk to be utterly disgusting: the texture, the flavor, everything about it. It's not even good covered up in chocolate flavor. I never had it until my vegetarian, occasionally vegan, sister convinced me to try some. While I love all sorts of "vegetarian" foods (gardenburgers, etc.), soy milk is one food I would not add to my diet if I were to become a vegetarian/vegan! And I don't even like milk that much- well, except for chocolate milk...

Masses of disgusting fat clinging to nasty little bones. :puke: The last time I had them was when I was still at university. I came home for Thanksgiving, and the night before, my stepmother served short ribs. I was sick most of Thanksgiving Day and managed to lose four pounds that weekend. I would also just as soon avoid tongue, beets, and brussel spouts. I had steak and kidney pie in Scotland once, but the organ meats were cunningly disguised with gravy and weren't bad. Besides, my hostess had cooked it specially. And for all that I'm a Yankee, I love both grits and polenta and don't know why everyone else doesn't love them. Go figure.

They cut the kidney into medallions and roll the medallions in foaming butter, just long enough to turn the outside gray. They serve it, with the center of the medallion bloody red and reeking of lamb piss. It is the only dish I ever ordered in Paris (thinking it was lamb chops) that I absolutely could not eat.

129. Tomatoes... blah!

Off the top of my head, probably my least favorite food. Soggy, chewed-up white bread is also disgusting. I have to be sure and swallow it fast. 6 people voted for White Castle burgers! What are my fellow DU-ers smoking? Those are delcious! They don't even have 'em where I live, so I buy them frozen from the grocery store.

164. I also can't stand them

And therefore, I always get my cheeseburgers with mustard. And I have white pizza. There are ways of getting around tomatoes and still enjoy some of the good foods, fortunately.

143. The absolute worst--

COOL WHIP!!!! I don't know who thought it would be an acceptable substitute for Whipped Cream, but it isn't and never will be. I've never had Gefelte Fish, White Castle burgers or Haggas. Nothing all that terrible about the other stuff listed.

147. The Romans

According to a cookbook I have, the Romans had a sauce called "guar" that was a fermented mixture of fish guts. Can't imagine it tasted good...maybe responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire? Anyone got any guar we could give Shrub?? :evilgrin: LuLu

152. Uh-oh, a lot of foods have an additive called "guar gum"

I wonder... No, I don't want to know.

150. I really can't stand courgettes

or Zuccini's as I belive they are known stateside. PS, it's spelled HAGGIS! The haggis itself s quite nice, it's just the neeps n' tatties that get me.

157. Can't say that I'm a big fan of

marzipan. But perhaps the worst things that I've yet eaten (only because I couldn't spit them out) were a couple of Filipino dishes that, unfortunately, I never knew the name of. I may never forget the taste, though.... Wasn't too fond or haggis, either, and I'm very much averse to organ meats.

168. Marzipan is way too sweet

I like the look of it and appreciate the artistry involved in forming it, but wow! that stuff would give Willy Wonka a toothache!

165. Hold the Rhubarb...

Thinking of this disgusting vegetable evokes memories from my childhood in West Virginia. Out playing with friends, we'd wander across a rhubarb patch, they'd pull up a stalk and chomp away at it like they were eating the most yummy candy. I would try to imitate them, but the revolting taste always got the best of me. Now in Chicago, I buy food from a gourmet takeout owned by world-famous chef Charlie Trotter. What does he sell for desert? Cakes and pies made from this free-growing weed of the mountains. I bought one just to see if it had redeemed itself and quickly tossed it after a single bite. Yecccch
