Something you ate, knowing something was wrong with it...

In my defense, the microwave at work SUCKS, and I basically had no choice.

So since I was just an idiot and ate a frozen dinner that was 1/2 cooked and still cold...I'm curious...have you ever eaten something you know you shouldn't have and what was it? I don't mean for your calorie count, sugar, etc. but something that was bascially inedible yet you did it anyway?

    While in Tahiti I tried raw, warm fish dipped in a fermented coconut sauce. I eat everything...but something was VERY wrong with that stuff.

    I had some 2 year old beef I found in the freezer somewhat recently. It was tasty. I'm still alive (I think).

    I actually haven't :( For me, I'd rather go hungry than risk getting sick. Well, no, as a kid I ate hot dogs raw and I also ate the cookie dough with raw eggs. :P

    When I was a kid, I drank some milk out of a pint carton. It was clabbered. I have smelled ever drop of milk since then.

    Just to day in fact. I was so hungry and all I had was a 20g box of rice krispies and my banana protein shake. I thought the two would go together..... but errrrrm no. The shake was lumpy and the krispies were stale. I still ate it anyway even though it was revolting. Cured my hunger by making me feel sick.

    I was pregnant and asked my husband to get me a glass of fruit punch and he came back with it I took the biggest drink and about vomited.
    We were at my parents house and my Mom had hummingbird food in the refrigerator in a pitcher so she could feed the hummingbirds...well it wasn't marked everyone just knew...except my husband apparently. Nothing worse than expecting one thing and getting something else. Hummingbird food is basically sugar water but still yeah bad...

    Dont think you have anything to worry about with that, I think most frozen dinners have already been cooked...cooked and then frozen, so all your doing is heating it back up for your enjoyment and not have to eat it cold:)

    I have also done a few things, on a number of occasions I have started eating a hamburger only to notice that its still pink in the middle. I have taken one or two bites after that to try and just deal with it but my stomach gets sick at the meer thought of it so I usually end up trashing it or cooking it longer:) I have also ate pizza with meat products the next day after it sat out all night...I have ate chicken or turkey past the 2 or 3 hr window they give, etc:)

    There is no such thing as a raw hotdog, they are all pre-cooked; when you "cook" them basically all you're doing is heating them up.

    When I was in grad school and living on cupons and rice a roni, I ate pork chops that smelled like fish--I just cooked 'em extra and smothered them in BBQ sauce. YUMMY!

    Not I.

    I'm INCREDIBLY paranoid about food. Everything has to be well done, I won't touch fruit or veg that's been in the house for longer than two or three days even if it looks fine, and I won't use milk that's been open for longer than 30 hours even if it's absolutely fine.

    I'm very wasteful, but I can't help it.

    I brought in some 9 grain cereal Monday to which I add some coconut milk. Since I didn't eat that breakfast Monday, I left it in the company refrigerator and prepared it Tuesday. When I poured the milk in, it was "gooey" and I immediately became paranoid (against common sense) that someone might have messed with it. I refused to eat it.

    I've eaten raw hot dogs (I figure it's just like bologna), cookie dough, licked the spoon with cake mix etc. I leave pizza out overnight and eat it cold the next morning. I figure if I have keeled over by now, it probably isn't going to happen soon. At least not because of the things I've eaten. :)

    I had a boiled egg I ate once that was a littly slimy and just did not taste right was not yucky or gross just did not taste right. I could not even eat or smell a boiled eggs for about 6 months after that and still even today I dont really eat them anymore. Pizza left out overnight thought that was normal.

    Not that I remember specifically, but I probably have. I'm the one in our house that sees the "use by" dates as more of a suggestion.

    Yep, took my baked potato out of the oven too early last night, and had already cut it before realising it was only half done. Still ate it though, with cottage cheese as I was tired and hungry.

    I used to get stir-fry beef and eat it raw. I must have had some serious anemia or something but I couldn't resist the craving.

    Funny, that's how I prefer my hamburger! If that gets you, you wouldn't want to see how I like my steak!

    It's been pointed out already that hot dogs are not raw meat. And raw eggs are actually very unlikely to be unsafe. So you're good.

    I eat all kinds of questionable things. If it's not fuzzy, crawling, or smells like death, I'll eat it.

    On Monday I was trying to make Kale chips. I had read that you never want to over cook them so I pulled them out hen the edges where getting brown. Well... the edges might have been getting there but I ended up eating salted wilted kale. Not so good but I ate it all.

    Off topic, but is the nail polish in your default the magnetic one?

    reminded me of my own.....

    As an adult, home visiting the parents........

    I went to my Mom's fridge and poured myself a huge glass of apple juice. All of my entire life, she would buy frozen concentrated juice and make it in a pitcher, so I was *sure* I knew what I was pouring. Heh. Sure.

    Well.

    My parents had become convinced by their quacky chiropractor that they should buy this fungus juice. I cannot remember the name of it, but it is made by floating a mushroom thing in the water until it grows a skin over the top. The you remove the skin and drink the resulting "tea". It develops a lovely golden (very apple juice-like) color.

    It tastes like liquid mold. It was the single most revolting thing I have ever tasted. I still don't trust apple juice, or my parents.
