Your Worst Experiences With Food

Weak Stomach? May not want to read these!

Discuss some of the worst times you've had food! Just don't go into too much detail and make someone sick! Here goes!

----------------

Lowe's Foods 100% Pure Organic Cranberry Juice; I purchased this for a possible kidney issue a while back (gone now) thinking that the purest item would help better. I put the 8oz serving in an iced glass, and took a big gulp. Terrible idea. The taste was bad enough, but the bitter aftertaste was so bad that I immediately spewed.

Burger King Big King; This is what I get for going to a BK in the middle of nowhere. No sauce. One Patty. Three buns. The drink was only filled halfway. Somebody must have had a bad day. I did too.

A few years ago I was convinced to try durian fruit, despite it smelling like corpse. I was in China an the fruit is imported so it was a little off being fresh (the fresh fruit doesn't even smell too bad). I took a small piece and chewed for a bit. I can't describe the taste other than saying it I nearly threw it right back up.

Another time I was at a social hot pot (Chongqing hot pot which is super spicy) and being drunk, along with everyone else, I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing. I took an end of my duck intestine and wanted to bite it in half, as I pulled the other end from my mouth it snapped and pinged some mega spicy chilli oil into my eye. Wouldn't have been too bad generally but this was one of the hottest pots I'd even eaten. Pain was horrendous.

I often have horrible food experiences because I'm a picky eater and don't like much. I mostly avoid having bad food experiences these days because not liking anything on a menu makes for awkward meal times with company. I have, for the last few years avoided social eating other than with my wife. If I must go to dinner eat before and just drink beer and eat snacks. Even looking at something I don't like can put me off eating.

and don't like much.

Missing out, my friend. I'm not a big fan of eating slimy durian, but I will however take a durian milkshake any day. If you ever hit up a Vietnamese restaurant (typically a pho noodle house), give it a shot. The added sweetness from the sugar and milk make it more enjoyable!

Very sorry about the hot pot in the eye though.



As for me, roasted eggplant. It's something about its aroma and the slimy paste that comes from it that I cannot stand. I'll eat eggplant prepped in any other way though.

I'm always looking to expand the range of things I can tolerate and possibly enjoy. Most people wouldn't even consider the idea of having pork feet or duck/turkey neck, but there's a certain group of Mainland Chinese people who enjoy a duck's rear end. Most people don't though because of its smell. They use the same adjective to describe it as they do with the unique scent of lamb... and I love lamb. So I thought I'd try it! It wasn't terrifying by any means, but it was more pungent than I could handle. Can't say I'm ready for that yet. I'll stick to duck neck, tongue, gizzards and heart.

 

[W3H5]

I love the duck neck, but it's so expensive! Cost me £8 for a bag of about 12 spicy necks.

 

[AOS-]

Wow. There must be quite the demand, because here we can get 'em for cheap probably for the exact opposite reason.

 

[W3H5]

Yeah, they're consider a delicacy of sorts and since there's only one neck per duck I suppose they're at a premium.

I do imagine that if I asked for some in the UK I'd probably get handed a load for next to nothing.

 

[Carbonox]

For one reason or another, I dislike cheese a lot.

In any case, ages ago, when I was still a kid (oh how time flies), parents made lasagnette with cheese in it, and forgot to tell me about it before I had started eating. As I felt the unpleasant and completely unexpected taste in my mouth that shouldn't have belonged there, I just instinctively insta-vomited all of it back on the plate. Not too fun. At least the parents were apologetic, rather than getting angry, telling me to 'man up' or any of that crap.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

When I finished high school, I took a year off to earn some money before going to university. I got a job in a fruit and vegetable store, and it was hell. To this day, I cannot eat zucchini, cauliflower, cabbage or broccoli because they were in my section of the store and the sight of them is enough to bring back memories of the bad ones that I used to have to dig out since my boss was a cheapskate.

 

[Lizard]

I like @W3HS am a fussy eater. I can usually find 1 thing on the menu that I like though.

I hate the majority of vegetables. If you make me eat the worst 3 which are broccoli, cauliflower and beetroot then I will throw up. That can cause embarrassment.

I always say to my mum. You failed to get me eating English vegetables. Instead I eat loads of strange Asian stuff she has never heard of and is revolted at the sight of.

Once I was drinking a Cola while being distracted by a computer game, I put the fresh Cola right next to a really old open can I forgot to remove. The old Cola was probably sitting there for weeks, with mold and dead flies and other monstrosities swimming in it.
I was too distracted to notice that I grabbed the old one, took a big gulp...and...yeah.

Since that incident my desk has always been sparkling clean.

omg I have that happen to me sometimes. I'll have a can out, and one will be half way full, and the other I'm currently drinking. I'll ash a cigarrette in one of them, and then forget which one I ashed in....and ... yeah :/

Oh that reminds me.

I was at a party and it was winding down. I was staying at my friend's where the party was for the night and saw a bottle of what I thought was beer on the side in my room and thought why not just finish it? 1 swig and I realised it was full of pee.

I can imagine your immediate reaction.

 

[Sonygamer455]

It's funny you create this thread because I had one of the worst food experiences I have had in years just recently. (I even made a status about it too)

I had bought a box of cheese flavored Pringles sticks recently because I had tried every other flavor but that one and was interested to see how it tasted. Open up a pack and put a few in my mouth at one time (As I always do) and I literally wanted to spit it out right there because it was just that bad! I tried them again later on and just ate one stick alone and it wasn't as bad since it was just one, but I still wasn't crazy about the taste and it was still something I did not want to eat at all. I am not sure if they had put too much cheese on it for my taste or if it was over saturated or what, but the taste was pretty indescribable.

While they don't look like they would be that bad, they sure was for me and even I find that hard to believe. I kind of hate to say that about them because I really love all the other Pringle's Sticks flavors they have (Pizza especially! ), but this one just didn't fit in with the rest regarding taste. That being said, this is the worst thing I have eaten in years!

My first wife got totalled on tequila and threw up over my mate's surfboard. Then she snogged me for the first time. I can still remember the uninvited 'meal' I received.

Does that count?

Btw, it worked on me. What are we guys like, eh?

 

[photonrider]

The worst experience I've had so far was when I accidentally put salt in my tea instead of sugar.

Which actually is saying a lot because I'm a fairly adventurous gourmandiser.

 

[W3H5]

I like @W3HS am a fussy eater. I can usually find 1 thing on the menu that I like though.

I'm quite extreme when it comes to food. If I find something I like I'll usually eat that day in day out without getting bored. If the food I like has a trace of something I don't like or is the wrong texture or other people are ating around me I won't touch it.

That's what I like to call The Fag Can Experience. Most people I know have done it.

It happened to me when I was in my late teens at a house party, everyone was grooving and there was booze everywhere and a fair amount of drugs too. I put down my can to light a smoke and picked up what I thought to be the same can. It wasn't. I'm my drunken state of absent-mindedness I had picked up the can used as an ashtray and taken a big gulp. All that lovely ashy goodness went right into my stomach and no amount of mint gum could take the taste away. Luckily I didn't puke it up but I'm certain I'll always make sure I don't have the Fag Can in future, no matter how drunk I am.

I lost out on my first potential intersexual course with a female because I did the same thing. We hooked up, did some kissing and fondling and while she popped out get a condom I have the urge to puke. So I did. All over her bed. That was the end of that situation.

In my defence I had been holding down half a litre of rubbing alcohol mixed with Fanta Fruit Twist. The same alcohol that managed to poison and kill 3 people that particular New Years Eve.

 

[Lizard]

Same. I never get bored of stuff like curry or fish.

I have done the cigarette can as well. That was slightly better than the pee bottle though.

 

[Akmuq]

I could eat something day in day out as well. Don't know why some people can't tbh...

I can not stand anything about mushrooms. The taste. The texture. The look of them.. they are the one thing that I've always quite simply not wanted to eat. (and trust me, I can eat some nasty stuff..)

I did the cinnamon challenge a couple of days ago even though I hate cinnamon. I completed it but the taste of it in my mouth lasted for hours and I didn't see it as a victory for my taste buds. Or my self-respect.

A similar story:

I was chillin' in my workshop aboad my ship playing videogames. Not paying attention, I reach for my Monster can and instead grab someone else's. Somebody who's been using their empty Monster can to spit in while dipping.

Children, please.

Because of these stories I'm hermetically sealing every cup I use from here on out. If you touch it, you die.

I once had a really gassy stomach after eating tender chicken strips, I think the cooking oil they used was old. It was so horrible I got an uncontrollable bowel whenever I passed gas. I begged to my parents that I get a can of any carbonated drink (because they resolve this, after all they were invented for medicinal purposes), however my parents believed it would only get worse. Luckily I sneaked in a can of Sprite and I was relieved by burping the nasty gas away. It's so strong I could taste it when it came out every burp. I've gotten more cautious of fried food after this.

 

[wvmgmidget]

Last time I ate Papa John's (when I was in 5th grade, in class actually) I got sick and when I throw it up the cheese came out extra stringy.

Discuss some of the worst times you've had food!

Does drinking from the designated Cig Bottle count? Vile mix of beer and cigarette ends.

It's pretty grim and you never make the same mistake again, that's for sure.

Do Not Want.

 

[Cale]

I dropped half a pizza.

 

[wvmgmidget]

I'd probably pick it up and eat it.

I blamed Obama and went to bed.

Yeah, my brother did that once with a green tea bottle. It was funny to watch him try to drink it.

Mmmmm, tasty, I love durian.

I'll stick to duck neck, tongue, gizzards and heart.

Try the brain. It's not bad.

Probably the biggest disappointment I can remember is going to Blue Willy's bbq for the first time and they were all sold out of everything. So we went to the closest nearby bbq instead, and it was absolutely disgusting. Everything tasted like they just opened a can and microwaved it. And the meat was terrible and just drowned in Kraft bbq sauce. And there was a big, obnoxious family at a huge table and they were the only other people in the restaurant. It looked like a youth soccer team with all the parents or something. And the kids kept running around the restaurant with their cleats, and they would walk back to the kitchen and grab stuff to bring out to the table. Must've been the restaurant owner's family or something. It was like they were in their living room. Wtf.
