    Mango Salsa Lays! Yuck!

    On a side note, I thought the Cappuccino ones were AMAZING! Who'd have thought?

    Talenti vanilla bean should have been amazing. Gritty and bland. (I love a lot of other Talenti flavors though.)

    I made paella a while back that looked and smelled amazing but tasted like metal. I used crushed tomatoes that came in a metal can (as they typically do, I think) and I think that was the culprit.

    Goat's cheese. i want to love it, I really do. My in-laws are always serving it.

    It just tastes like old dirt to me :(

    you too??? i could have sworn i was the only one. i have friends who love it and use it in a lot of things, but every time i've had it (or anything made with goat dairy, for that matter), the only thing i can taste is "barnyard."

    I REALLY want to like goat milk products too but no matter what is made from them, All I can taste is GOAT. I mean it literally tastes like I'm LICKING A GOAT! Even when it's made into cheese or yogurt or whatever, it still tastes EXACTLY like licking a goat to me. OK, I've never actually licked a goat before but I KNOW that licking a goat would taste just like goat's milk! I think it's genetic because I can't imagine that other people taste what I taste and actually LIKE IT. I also can't eat beets because they taste like DIRT. Other people love them and can eat the exact same beets and swear that I'm crazy and the beets DON'T taste like dirt yet all I can taste is soil.

    You're not the only one. Beets do taste just like dirt.

    My mom made a beet smoothie for me once and she didn't know how to use the blender properly so it came out really chunky. The taste, texture and temperature really made me feel like I was eating mud.

    Mango of any variety, in smoothies, fresh or dried it tastes like I would imagine rotten wood to taste. I've bought it a couple of times as fresh fruit incase I'd just been unlucky, but no, it's horrid but looks like it would be nice! Similarly dragon fruit is gorgeous looking but fair bland tasting. I don't mind blueberries in smoothies or frozen but fresh are kind of gross, I buy them a lot because I'm convinced they are really good for me but the taste and texture always disappoint.

    Other than those everything that tastes gross looks fairly gross too!

    Fondant!

    Not nearly as tasty as it looks. Cake boss be damned the stuff is gross.

    This stuff is just plain nasty...

    I feel that way about marzipan, I see no need for it and it just tastes funky. I kind of like fondant :)
