altho i hate tons of food, the worst ever has to be:

#1.Balut


From:
The Philippines

What the hell is it?
Behold, for our journey of horror reaches its destination. Balut are duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.


They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand. You can spot the vendors because of their glowing red eyes, and the faint, otherworldly sound of children screaming.

Wait, it gets worse ...
... Because you're never going to look at an egg the same way. Tell yourself that every time you crack open an egg from now on you won't be half expecting a leathery wad of bird to come flopping out into the skillet.

Yes, balut is upsetting on about a half-dozen levels. Sure, all meat eaters know on some level that the delicious chop on your plate used to belong to something cute and fluffy, which gambolled in the sun during the brief spring of its life. Most of the time, it' perfectly possible not to give a shit. But, when you're biting into something that hasn't even had a chance to see its mother' face ... well, it' different.

Danger of this turning up in America:
Actually, marketed properly, these eggs could be a damn good motivator. When you've looked death in the face at breakfast time, what the hell else can the day throw at you?

Agreed. Also, give some credit to cracked.com That is word for word what they've had. Also, anything blood based is gross.

Potato salad. There's nothing you can do to make that slop taste good for me. At all.

 

[Powereaver]

Whole Roasted Tomatoes or just big thick pieces of fried tomato.. YUCK! horrible texture horrible taste just horrible all around.

 

[Chasing-The-Light]

Escargot. By far. Worst thing I ever tasted.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Menudo. I don't want to go into too much detail because it sounds more disgusting than it actually is, but I just don't enjoy the taste or even the act of eating it.

 

[littlewisp]

Black pudding.

I think it's considered pretty good, but...

Would any American eat that if it was put on a plate in front of them?

I'm (technically) an American, and I might consider it. Black pudding is a blood pudding right? Yeah, I've always been curious as to what a blood-based food would taste like. Of course, this is coming form someone who tried and liked Escargot (it's actually a bit like simmered mushrooms when cooked properly).

I have never understood why escargot is such a big deal. you know what I wouldn't eat? Any large spider.

 

[Athol]

Worst food I've ever encountered? Canned asparagas. Now I like fresh asparagas you know, pan fry it in a little bacon grease so it's tender but still a bit crunchy with melted garlic butter...yum! Canned on the other hand is stringy, slimy mush that is ten kinds of revolting.

 

[Generalissimo]

eggs. i hate eggs! it doesn't matter how they're prepared. it still tastes like shite to me.

 

[teqrevisited]

Both cauliflower and broccoli make me physically ill. Oh and oysters. I'd describe those as akin to eating salty snot.

 

[Chemical Alia]

Everything about sushi is gross. Gross stuff garnished with gross stuff that makes it taste more gross.

 

[The Last Gaijin]

For me wet bread... ugh makes me feel sick just thinking about it.

I think it has to do with how slimy snails are before you cook them.

Anyway... disgusting food...
I'd have to agree on large spiders. Though I would extend that "ick" to all spiders. Period.

A Raw Chicken Egg.
Not only disgusting, but just plain stupid to eat as well.
