That was the most horrific thing I've ever tasted!

[Koeryn]

The thread title should be about as self-explanatory as it gets. What is the most horrific thing you've ever eaten or drank, flavor-wise. Horror stories about putting retarded things in your mouth, but being surprised at their good flavor is not what we want! No, the worst of the worst, that's what we're looking for here!

I'll start things off with my horror story from today (That I can still, unfortunately taste).

I work at a coffee shop, but I'm not a really big coffee drinker. I'll drink lattes and fraps 'cause, well... They don't taste like coffee. I've had an espresso shot, but that's definitely not my sort of drink. Unfortunately, of all of my coworkers? I'm the ONLY one with experience with straight espresso shots.

Well, a customer came in today, had his usual single-espresso shot, but lamented the fact that no one in this area sells Turkish style coffee. Sensing a totally untapped market (Nyahahaha!), I send a message to the owners going "Hey, maybe we should try it.".

I've never had turkish coffee, and I had no idea how to go about preparing it, neither did my boss. She called our supplier, who didn't know, but suggested just grinding espresso really, really fine and making a shot. So I did.

I have never, ever. In my life, had something that bad before. Ever. And I've tried some really strange stuff. I drank it two hours ago, and I can STILL taste it, despite the vanilla smooth, taro smoothie, three glasses of water, and gargle of cinnamon, taro, and peppermint I just did. Seriously, it's even worse than earwax.

Of course, thanks to Wikipedia and YouTube, I now know how to make a proper cup of Turkish coffee, which my shop's incapable of doing anyways, but there ya go.

It's almost painful.

So, what about you? Worst thing ever? How did you get rid of the flavor?

Shrimp. I just can't eat it.

Perhaps not in terms of flavour alone, but the most foul thing I've ever put in my mouth is a prawn I tried at my friend's house. Or maybe a shrimp. I'd never had anything of the sort before, and the texture was so frightening it made me want to kill myself.

EDIT: I just remembered something worse. I used to take prozac, and the pills were these plastic capsules that could be opened with white powdered medicine in the center. It was the morning of my grade 9 math final, and I arrived at school an hour and a half or so early. I was in a room hanging out with my friends, when I burped, and the powder from the center of the pill came up in the back of my throat. It was the strongest bitter taste I've ever experienced, and I threw up.

Sushi... Yeah, just sushi. I actually spat it back up on the plate (not a good thing to do in retrospect).

 

[DividedUnity]

Red aftershock. I thought it would be strawberry falvoured or something nice but CINNAMON? EUGGH. Id rather lick the apendage of an old man covered in salt and horse dung than eat anything that tastes like cinnamon.

 

[Jark212]

Cow tongue...

It's just horrible...

 

[Julianking93]

Milk of magnesia.


That stuff is fucking awful and those **** doctors made me drink it all the goddamn time.

 

[xDHxD148L0]

anything with coconut, I can't stand it for some reason.

 

[Wadders]

Fuckin' squid. It felt like rubber in my mouth, tasted like salty cardboard, and was just generally foul.

Also, Greek Raki. It's this horrible spirit that could probably be used as rocket fuel. You can smell it from about a meter away, and it tastes like fire, and made me wanna choke and gag. Gross.

Or maybe I'm just not hardcore enough for it

 

[Alex The Rat]

Curdled Starbucks Frappuccino (Mocha). I guess there was a small crack in the glass which allowed the air to get in and do it's work, and I just opened it and took a swig before the smell had time to warn me...

 

[VincentX3]

Octopus

It's just not my thing.....

The "taste" of coffee is actually an aroma.

 

[The Fork of Truth]

Banana and onion smoothies are not fun. It's not just the taste but the texture: like coconut in watered-down jelly.

 

[Proteus214]

Some medication I had to take when I was little. It tasted so bad it made me throw up on the spot.

 

[KimberlyGoreHound]

Probably a mixture of Russian salad dressing, Cesar salad dressing, about 4g of paprika, salt, lemon juice, peppercorns, etc, etc, ET FUCKING CETERA. We essentially raided the refrigerator and spice cabinet, put it all in a blender, then each had a go at it. Two of five threw up, one wussed out, one drank a shot of it, I gulped down 500ml of it just. . . well, because I'm apparently retarded. But I won.

Second place goes to (and this would be first, but the massive amounts of liquor we consumed beforehand made it taste a little better): one shot whisky, one shot white rum, some gold rum, vodka, gin, MARMITE, salt, Eno (an antacid type thing), pancake syrup, and...well, the two of us were too drunk to remember the rest. It tasted great going down (due to the aforementioned large quantities of booze), but left a very memorable aftertaste.


Nothing says 'wow, we were so fucking drunk last night' like your friend (who has a bad habit of remembering nothing when he's drunk), smacking his lips and asking 'why do I taste marmite?'

 

[Armored Prayer]

Some medicines like pills taste awful if you let them dissolve in your mouth.

 

[Luke5515]

I tried to make some jalapeno chocolate for april fools day, and I tasted it. Dear lord, it was kind of spicy, but dear lord, I didn't have the heart to give it to anyone because it tasted so bad.

 

[Michael Dagastino]

Head cheese. Even the name should have deterred me, but it was for extra credit in school. Never again will i eat it.
If you dont know what it is here's what it is made of:
