PB2 is not very good on its own. I add it to my protein shakes to give a little extra flavor.3 -

i'm laughing because for a moment i thought the second item here was just your comment about the first one.
the more i think about it the more the list grows. place of honour goes to vega one 'plant-based' protein, though. i was super-hungry when i bought a small taster pack of the stuff and that should have been enough to let me get it down. i just couldn't. spent the rest of the day hysterically re-rinsing my blender bottle as well, just in case a few micro-grains still remained. there was this terrible association with certain kinds of baby poop. and tofu is no. it's just NO. i can't understand why people say it has 'no taste' or that it absorbs the flavours of what it's cooked with. to me there's this ineradicable chemical taste that gets through everything.
the others have just been more bleh or uninteresting. hemp protein powder tastes like drinking henna. flax seeds turn bitter so fast they're not worth rat race of trying to drink the shake fast enough to beat the half-life. greek yogurt just tastes like spackle to me. and now that i know it's just yogurt without the whey i can't see the point either. to me it makes no sense to pay three times as much for something that doesn't have the very thing i'm also buying to add to my shakes in a powder format.
there was some nasty kind of 'raspberry' flavoured protein bar coated in 'chocolate' which was actually so nasty that after a while i got sort of morbidly hooked on them. i knew all along they reminded me of something, and finally i nailed it when i was patching a bike tube: glue. the kind of glue you're not supposed to breathe in too deeply around.

As he started chewing his, I was hit by an incredible horrid taste of rancid ostrich( fat?). Oh yuck. The driver wasn't pleased to hear to hear my discovery. We were driving down the road(wrong way round) at 100km!
to be fair, 'rancid' isn't part of any normal biltong makeup. but i only tried ostrich once and found it too vinegary. imo only properly red meat works with biltong. everything else tastes too pale to stand up to the pickle and brine.0 -
Kale chips. They tasted like seasoned farts of themselves. Which was disappointing because I had some overproductive kale plants at the time.
Shirataki noodles are awesome in sukiyaki. I really can't imagine eating them as a substitute for wheat noodles though. Way too fishy.2 -

I once ordered the wrong vegan protein shake by mistake and thought I'd give it a go, it was awful! I couldn't even finish one shake.0

You probably know this, but just in case some others don't:
Greek yogurt has the liquid component of the whey removed, but (true) Greek yogurt has substantially higher protein than normal yogurt. Whey protein powder also has the liquid component of the whey removed, to retain the protein component in a dried form.
Both Greek yogurt and whey protein powder (or other products) are high protein foods. Of course taste is a good reason to dislike one, and prefer the other.
I now return you to your regularly-scheduled thread.
Obligatory on-topic remark: 90% of the fake meat products I've tried, I found disgusting. Especially TVP "ham" chunks they used to put in casseroles in my college dorm. Yuck. I never liked meat in the first place, though - part of why I went vegetarian.7 -
I love idealshape products but I tried th3 cookies and cream meal replacement shake and after gagging one down gave it away with the disclaimer try it and throw it out if you don't like it.
Greek yogurt, I hate greek yogurt!
