    I don't eat tripe, chicken feet, organ meats or filter feeding bivalve mollucks. They all disgust me. In addition, I have some kind of weird allergy to legumes. I can't digest them properly and they give me hives. Just the smell of baked beans or chili makes me gag.
    1. chicky401
      My first thought was olives and anchovies however I have to agree with you on everything but the baked beans and chili. I love chili

      I am a bivalve's fanatic. What disgust me? I would directly says worm, horseshoe crab, my grandma eat that chicken feet (but I don't), clay cube(saw it on tv), and organ...

    Me and eggs don't like each other neither. Its not that I don't like them but I CAN'T STAND the sight of them. If I crack one open and see that little white grossness inside I have to gag.
    1. timethief
      I know other people who feel the same way about eggs. Fortunately, I don't. It's fortunate because the amount of protein I can get from plants is limited and I need to make it up with nuts, eggs and dairy products.

      LOL there's always beans!

      Ox tongue is a delicacy!

    These are real food that look like sewage

    I really can't think of one. I think I like everything, which can be good or bad. I can remember a dislike of cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes as a child, but I'm fine with both now.
    1. JamCan
      You like everything huh? Have you tried gnawing on this??

      I'll put that on my list. I do eat menudo with a 'pata' in it from time to time. The best cure for a hangover.

    Organ meats of any kind...ewwww! I eat only muscle meats.

    Yellow squashes...disgusting smell, although I can do pumpkin if a sufficient amount of spices have been added to disguise that squashy smell.

    Cooked greens...slimy, nasty stuff. I'll eat it raw in a salad, but slimy stuff doesn't do it for me.

    Soft custards...the texture gets me...it's that slimy thing again. Firm custards, like American-style pudding, is fine, but soft, squishy custards disgust me.

    "Wet bread." When I was a kid my mother used to tear up pieces of soft white bread...think Wonderbread, not one of those robust breads, and put gravy over it and expect me to eat it. Slimy, sloppy stuff covered with a greasy milk-based pan gravy...enough to gag a maggot.

    I'm not a fan of gravies or fish, but they are not necessarily disgusting, I just don't like them. But organ meats, yellow squashes, and slimy stuff like cooked spinach or soft custards...now that's disgusting!

    Snake,frogs and snails I see in the market
    1. SweetViolet
      I haven't eaten snake, but I have eaten frogs legs and escargot (snails). The frog's legs were rather bland and tasteless and the escargot were like chewing chunks of rubber. I haven't tried them again.
    2. JamCan
      LOL what market do you shop at???
    3. chicky401
      Definitely have to agree with you!! Never tried snake (I like them as a pet too much) but the snails yuck!!!! They sell for about $500 a lb by me but let me tell you they couldn't get me to eat them if they paid me $500 a lb

      I luv oysyeters rockafeller with salt louisiana and a shot of petrone! I'm gettin hungry now
    1. SweetViolet
      ewww...gross! Some of the local people here eat Mopani worms...a kind of insect grub. They consider them a delicacy but I am grossed out at the very thought!

    Depends how tripes are cooked: like fries they are excellent
    1. cookingasshole
      I love bacon!

    The worst food, in my experience, has less to do with the raw materials, but how they're prepared. I hate "industrial" food, food that is mass produced, or overcooked (like say, in a cafeteria or canteen). Care and attention can produce a great meal, even with the humblest ingredients. Lack of care and attention produces garbage.

    bad Uni is nasty!

    i second the chicken feet...in fact, any animal feet! ick!

    Korean food jajang and kimchi.
    1. Stillthinking
      Yum! Fantastic! Open your mind! It's just miso and spicy pickled cabbage.
    2. SweetViolet
      To me, pickled cabbage is sauerkraut. Adding the spicy to make it kimchee just ruins it for me!
    3. Stillthinking
      It's an acquired taste, but I grew up with it at every meal. I really love the garlicky heat and the slightly sharp vinegar taste.
    4. gijack25
      Have to agree jajang and kimchi is gross. Lived in Korea for a year and still couldn't get use to it.
    5. Stillthinking
      I introduced all my friends to jajang myun (black bean rice noodles) and they all loved it! They were initially weirded out by the color, but after I explained that the color is from black beans, they totally got over it. And technically, it's not Korean. Jajang is Mongolian Chinese.

      Korean BBQ and savory onion pancakes are awesome! Of course, I love pretty much all Korean food and when I take my friends for it, I always make sure they get to try the best stuff.

      Yakimandu rocks though. I'll even eat dried squid, but not Kimchi.
    7. Stillthinking
      I actually really like dried squid, there are so many different types. There are flat, translucent paper thin dried filets which were my favorite. There are jerky type whole squid with the tentacles still attached (not too fond of those). When I was a kid, my grandmother would roast the filet type over an open flame and cut it up into strips. I loved the smoky, salty sweetness. She would also get the dried, shredded squid and stir fry it with hot sauce and honey. That was fantastic.
    8. gijack25
      Jerkey type was my favorite. Especially from the soju carts in the streets.
    9. Guzzo
      Oh man.. I love kimchi and all Korean Food. Well, most everything except kagogi.

    Those damn dollar TV dinners....got an enchilada one the other night (I'm a cheap ass) and I got what I paid for....disgusting...
  15. HollytheHousewife
    Amen 2 that......

    In science class we had a pigeon, one day the bird was gone. Every friday we had to try an undisclosed food. Like chocolate covered bees and sharks tail soup. This week was a meat actually it didn't taste bad but when we found out it was our pigeon, we thought it was disgusting. Sometimes its the thought, look or smell and not actually the taste that makes it disgusting.
    1. chicky401
      That is a lot of times what it is but not always. I like the flavor mushrooms give food but hate eating the actual mushroom. I will pick every last piece of mushroom off my plate

      where did you go to school?Yikes!
  17. IndigoWrath
    I'm fairly well travelled, but I'm not sure I've ever eaten anything truly disgusting. I looked twice at a few things in Morocco, but it was all good!
  18. DealingBlog
    I saw this National geographic special of people eating goat/sheep fetus.

    I wouldn't say it's 'disgusting' cuz it's one culture's food practices. For me to impose my own food 'values' on them by calling their food choice disgusting would amount to some form of cultural imperialism, chauvinism, and bolsters racism.

    I say live and let live.

    tomatoes.... Thats all I've got to say about that

      WTF???? Okay that sounds disgusting!!!

    While living and working in Macedonia, I was offered a "delicacy" - calf's brains. I couldn't refuse ... seriously, I couldn't!

    Think of licking a copper penny for 24 hours. That metallic taste? That's what these tasted like.
    1. DealingBlog
      Nothing a little chutney can't fix.
    2. Guzzo
      Yep, I've never heard the phrase "Man I'm hungry, whaddya say we go out and get some good Macedonian food".

    MekiYuk - Whale blubber, whale blood, fermented for many many weeks or months with seal oil.

    Looks and smells like RAW Human Sewage that has been sitting there for weeks and has become rancid and toxic.

    I think I'd rather eat raw human flesh than allow that to pass my lips.

    Chicken Pox.
    When I was 18 I had chicken pox in my mouth and down my throat. I tasted that for ages...

    Yea, glad you asked, I'm sure...
  25. Guzzo
    The worst? Haggis.
    1. Rory
      Haggis is phenomenal!! Nice and steamy spread on fresh bread ... ah, to die for!!
    2. Guzzo
      Seriously?
  26. amybyrd21

    Papaitan... Soup made of goat entrails and bile.

    Carrots and oysters.

    Squeeze cheese or foam cheese and other over-processed cheeses that probably become orange after the coloring is added.

    The meat used in most canned stews - that weird sponge-like meat-flavored stuff.

    Anything that makes one think "Real _____ is better".

    And tripe.
