    Pho. Vietnamese food can be good and so can pho but not everyone makes it the same. The broth was tasty but there was some section of internal organ that felt absolutely horrid on my tongue and throat. I had never been so grossed out in my life.

    LUTEFISK!

    It's a Norwegian fish that is literally soaked in LYE! People around here love the stuff, but it reminded me of gelatinous squished eyeballs (not that I've ever eaten THAT before :wink: )

    Danish lakritz. It's very, very strong black licorice and often has a sour, salty granular topping. It's HORRIBLE!

    Kimchi. My dad used to eat it all the time when I was a kid, and I would come home from the school and the house would smell of rotten cabbage. I actually tried one that wasn't too bad a few years ago, but I can do without...

    I've always wanted to try it. What is it eaten with?

    wooow. I'm embarrassed to post the most disgusting thing I've ever ate. It's nothing compared what you all have tried.
    I don't know how you do it....

    Funny, some of my favourite foods have been mentioned (mussels, guacamole, durian and octopus!)

    The worst food I ever ate had to be some fromage de tete, which I ate as a kid in France. It's head cheese or pate made from cow's brains, set in aspic. Yuck! I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food but this was too much.

    I was just reading about in Scotland a new idea on a menu - Deep fried butter balls! Frozen butter then coated with batter and deep fried - that's got to be disgusting

    The consistency of liver grosses me out.

    But surprisingly, I like the occasional Braunschweiger (liver sausage) sandwich!

    Venison, I was probably 10 at the time and our next door neighbor took up hunting, because of him I can't eat duck (the bit I tried of the duck he gave my parents I got all the gun powder BLEUGH! But anyway he managed to shoot a deer (for those who don't know what venison is) and my parents never bothered to tell me what I was eating so as far as I was aware it was a normal Sunday roast, meat and veggies, then I took a bite of what I presumed was normal meat and urgh, my mouth protested so much and I felt so sick, finally asked what it was and can say I was very unimpressed, made me become a vegetarian for 7 years. Yuck yuck yuck bad memories xD

    And someone mentioned Marmite wasn't European .. Marmite comes originally from England in 1902 (although before that it had been used since 1680) and a company bought the rights to distribute it in NZ and Australia in 1908 and in 1910 it was finally sold in NZ.

    Edit: I'm a Marmite nerd.

    Are you ready???

    Lamb head!
    yeah... the brain... the tongue etc.

    I CAN'T EVEN WATCH IT... NEITHER SMELL IT... so you can imagine what about eating it!

    The problem is that it is supposed to be a traditional Easter food in Greece, so each Easter my family(parents, aunts, uncles, cousins... the typical greek family) try to make me eat it I feel like vomiting.

    I like quinoa too! Worst thing I ate was a muscle, yuck!
    What muscle are you talking about?

    The worst thing I can think of right now was frog legs. I'd try them again from a more reputable establishment, but these tasted like muddy fat. Or the chicken feet (I love chicken feet) that tasted like they had sat open in a refrigerator for weeks, absorbing all the odors.
    Maybe mussels? sometimes I think they are ok, not my favorite. I can't think of anything too horrible except recently in Spain the asparagus was white and bloated and maybe pickled, I couldn't eat it.

    I'll throw my vote in for durian. Tasted like old rotting onions and garlic. And they make ice cream out of the stuff!!
