    shiritaki noodles. And because I'm a glutton for punishment, (I seriously wanted to like these things very, very badly!) I tried them 5 different times with different brands, trying different preparation methods to get a different result. Nope, just slimy, stinky rubber stuff disguising themselves as zero-calorie noodles.

    This. Horrible. Tasted like bad fish.

    Also drinking eggs raw, as a teenager, to be strong. Lol. Nasty.

    Those flourless banana pancakes everyone loves. They tasted like banana scrambled eggs until I doctored them up lol I've also tried a low calorie microwave mug cake that was all sorts of nasty.

    Commercial icing/frosting on cakes, cupcakes....and the stuff they sell in tubs...yuck

    ~OT~

    When I was a (very obese) child, the buttercream frosting was my favorite part of the cake, store bought or homemade. Now I end up scraping it off. I had no idea what I saw in it as a kid. It is gross on store bought cakes and often too rich on homemade ones. I don't even like cake that much in general anymore. Never thought I would live to see that day. "Whipped cream" topping on commerical cakes was always nasty. I also don't like fondant. I think it absolutely ruined my brother and SIL's wedding cake. It was DISGUSTING.


    Sometimes I feel like I am inhuman because I absolutely love store cakes buttercream, the buttercream in the tubs/containers... just all buttercream. Everyone hates it, and I could eat it out of the container.

    Also to be fair, you're not really supposed to eat the fondant.

    Haha! I love most of the things everyone hates -- cauliflower, sweet potatos, and kale. I hate chicken. With a passion. I really want to like it, but it is vile. I made big crockpot full of shredded buffalo chicken. I took a bite and even the hot sauce couldn't disguise the chicken taste. It all went into the trash. Blech!

    I love those kipper snacks! Too much salt for my plan, though. The most disgusting thing I've tried was a kale leaf wrapped around some salt-less beans.

    Every single low carb/paleo pancake recipe ever. They all taste like scrambled eggs gone nasty. If I wanted an omelette, I would have made an omelette. I wanted a damn pancake. F$%k you paleo pumpkin pancakes.

    Unflavored Plant Fusion powder. Maybe the flavored stuff tastes better, but I can't get past the pea taste. Just...yuck.

    I put spinach in a smoothie because the recipe said you couldn't taste it......yuck.

    The trick is you have to use baby spinach. The large leaf spinach is far too harsh for smoothies. And never ever try kale. Now that is horrible.

    Thankfully I'm not the only one who hates sweet potatoes. I tried them plain, tried them with a boatload of cinnamon and butter, they still make me gag.

    Fat-free dairy. Especially sour cream. Life is too damn short to waste eating substandard cheese.

    My boyfriend and I use a meal-planning website and for the most part the recipes have been great...but there was one...the carrot-ginger soup. I'm not crazy about carrots to begin with but we promised we would at least try everything. One pound of carrots and an hour later and I'm eating a cheeseburger. Carrot-ginger soup can go back to the hell whence it came.

    Arctic Zero Double Chocolate!

    I bought some chocolate peanut butter. I paid freaking four dollars for that crap, so I was dead set on eating it. I threw some hot fudge on it, topped it with walnuts. sprinkles and a dollup of whipped cream and it became semi-palatable. Kind of defeated the purpose of whole low-calorie thing, but at least I didn't throw it away. lol

    Oh my gosh yes. Bought this after I had heard people on here rave about it. Had a few bites, and threw it away. Chalky, icey, grossness. Yuck.

    Roasted Kale - someone at work had it and the taste was awful. Leaves a bad after taste in your mouth as well.

    Don't completely drown a cake with it then? :| This was not accent, it was used as frosting covering the whole cake, so one would figure it would be edible. Anyway, no way I would ever buy a cake like that after that experience. Waste of money if you can't eat it no matter how good it looks (and it didn't even look that good, which was the real sad part).

    If I'm going to spend that much money on a cake, I want it all to be edible and not a total waste of calories.

    The texture of raw celery freaks me out. I don't want to eat hair. I can handle it cooked, like in soup or whatnot.

    Kale is garbage raw. You have to cook it. Or buy baby Kale for eating raw, it doesn't taste that strong.

    Anything low fat that normally relies on fat. Most noticeably cheese.

    Low fat yogurt and milk are OK, but really I'm usually having that mixed with fruit or coffee. It's the cheese that's awful, it just tastes artificial.

    These weren't eaten on my current weight loss journey, they were eaten when my mom was into "low fat" in the 90's when I was a kid, and if I accidentally grab the wrong "lite" cream cheese package in a rush at trader Joe's. Whoops. I always check now.

    I tried to make a protein crepe with egg whites, protein powder and almond milk. Topped with greek yogurt and berries. It was so dry I chewed for a few seconds and spat it out (and I will eat almost anything). I wouldn't even give any to the dog. I just scooped off the berries and greek yogurt and ate that.

    I tried that too. It disintegrated when I tried to flip it in the pan.

    I'm surprised by all the sweet potato hate, but then again, I'm from the South. Can't stand the sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, but with pecans and brown sugar...yum!

    The most disgusting things I've tried are kale, some mug cake recipes, protein powders, and vitacoco drinks. No matter how I cook it, I just can't see the appeal of kale over things like spinach or collards. The mug cake recipes tend to get burnt in my microwave, and most protein powders have a weird taste/texture to them that I can't get past. The coconut water drinks taste like oddly sweet sweat. I tried some at a music festival because it was HOT and I needed water and sugar without alcohol. If not for the fact that I was dying for liquid, I would have dumped the entire bottle.

    The cinnamon, honey concoction drink.. Like a glob of snot!

    Apple cider vinegar shots.

    Low carb muffin in a minute was by far the most disgusting tasting thing I've ever made.

    Raw kale. Ew. Very scratchy.
    I've tried a mug brownie before, and I liked it, though. Maybe I got lucky

    I have been practicing everyday. Edible, but one day I will get it right

    Also ANY Greek yogurt. It tastes exactly like sour cream. Any seafood. Chicken salad (can't stand the taste of mayonnaise unless it's a very thin layer on a BLT).

    See, I disagree about Greek yogurt. Generally it's way more sour than sour cream and despite everyone saying it made a good substitute for sour cream... Nope.
