are supposed to be good for you

I tend to disagree, in some cases, and one such case was today

Today, one of my friends brought in some rather unusual food, and convinced me to try some. Basically this food was sugar and salt coated dried lemon rings. Now I can say without a doubt in my mind that it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted in my life (I couldnt stop the apparent looks of disgust on my face, with sent my friend into fits of laughter). It didnt start out to bad, kind of sweet, then it turned horribly salty (we're talking beef jerky or higher salty here) and then sour, then salty and sour again. I needed a drink after that experience, and a good portion of chocolate milk could not erase the flavor.

 

So, now Im curious, are there any new things that you've tried, and regreted?? (it doesnt have to be food)

 

(no it was not prank food that I took)

Jelly fish. The first time I had dinner with my husband's family, which is Chinese, they served jelly fish. His parents were chowing down on it, so I thought I might be missing out on something awesome. Even though Seggie assured me, I really wasn't missing anything, I ate some. It was like trying to swallow a fishy rubber band whole. I'm still surprised I managed to get it down. I will never eat it again.

food- Calamari. I'd eaten it once or twice before, but my husband and I (when we were still dating) went to a place in Atlanta called Ray's on the River (which I love). I ordered calamari as an appetiser. They get their fish more fresh than the other places I'd eaten it, I suppose, because I found myself chewing on tentacles and nearly tossing my cookies right there on the table of the very nice restaurant. I haven't touched the little squids since...

 

done- dancing in a daffy duck costume. Now, before I go any further, I want to say that I'm claustrophobic (very, very claustrophobic. D*con makes me lightheaded..). Now, I worked at 6 Flags for two years, the first 3 months of which were spent in the Character department. I was quickly assigned to the Carrot Club (the swanky *coughs* buffet down in the kids' section of the park...I think they've closed it since then) to be security for Bugs & Daffy who danced a show every hour. Fine with me. Air conditioning, free food and plenty of free time to color and flirt with Bugs (who later became my boyfriend). Well, I got the hairbrained idea that I could do the show one day late in the Spring I was down there. Note, LATE SPRING in GEORGIA when you're claustrophobic and wearing fur... yeah, not my brightest moment. I wasn't used to the feet, fell all over myself the whole 15 minutes we were out there. We got a visit from my supervisor about 20 minutes later who was sent down by the guest services people because they were getting reports that Daffy was drunk. *smirks* I've scared kids for life. Needless to say, I learned something I already knew and you shall never catch me in character feet again!

Also calamari. My husband always gets me to try things b/c I'm very picky. He's always like, "but you've never tried it, so you don't know you won't like it." Yeah, well, everything he's gotten me to try I've hated... lol. I just *know* when I won't like something. I just do it to shut him up now... lol. Anyway, yeah, that was nasty... chewy, fishy and all that good stuff.

food-wasabi peanuts. My parents got an assorted tray of peanuts for Christmas and one of the kind was wasabi. I didn't know and I took one of them and pretty much send it right back out.

That's funny Tigara! the worst thing I've ever tasted was dried wasabi peas! my friends absolutely loved them so i popped one in my mouth. *shudders* it tasted like burning poo :look or at least what I'd imagine burning poo to taste like x|

Food: Liver and onions....enough said...

 

Other: When I was about 5 a boy from down the street would come over and play in our yard with me and my sister from time to time. He was a bit older, and one day he asked me if I wanted to try some of his apple candy. Thinking it was real candy I said sure, but it turned out to be apple flavored smokeless tobacco (skoal). Needless to say after it went in my mouth it came back out with much more force. I remember crying for over an hour and trying to wash my mouth out with anything and everything to make it quit burning. :P NEVER AGAIN!

 

 

My husband said: Voted for George W. Bush in 2000. WHAT WAS HE THINKING!! (I voted for Gore.) :P

Kelly, that must have DISGUSTING!!!

 

The time I tried to eat 'Tasha's cream of mushroom casserole, I swear that she didn't cook the chicken enough. It was PINK!!! Of course, to be nice, I started to eat it, but she said I didn't have to because that she would be more offended if I ate to make her happy than saying I don't and not eating it again. Plus not cooked cream of mushroom, you're asking for it...

i regret trying oysters. i couldn't swallow, my throat convulsed and the oyster ended up on the other side of the room.....

I would have to say Turkish Delight. It literally tasted like soap. My sister told me to eat it and I was weary but I did and she burst out laughing and I spit it back up.

i'll try any food atleast once... and usually like it :D there's only a few foods i won't eat but thats cause of preference, not disgust

I was over on a day trip in Monaco from france for the day quite a few years ago. We went into a lovely French resturant and thought I'd try snails. Well what can I say they were chewy and absolutely disgusting...to seem not to be rude I got through most of them (luckily only 6) except the last...It would not come out of its shell (it was stuck like chewing gum all stretchy aweeeee) I was nearly sick...needless to say he was not eaten. The only thing that got me through the others was the garlic butter they were cooked in. Even now it makes me feel quite queasey.

snails rock. you should try some pig or beef tongue. delicious.

Thanks Silver ....I'll think I'll give them a miss...though they are quite popular over here..lol

Never happend to me....

 

Then again I just refuse to eat anything I don't know :D

I also refuse to eat things I think will taste bad :P But a couple years ago I had to prove to my mom that I really don't like black olives (she thought I just didn't want to eat them) and so I ate one and she believes me now. I really can't eat them :D

*laughs*

 

yeah I hate black olives too

 

*shudders*

The guys at work have a list on our white board of the things I dislike and olives is one of mine too...so understandable Raena

When I was little our cats' food claimed to have four different flavors. My sisters and I decided to try all the flavors to see if it was true. They all tasted the same and they were disgusting.

*chuckles*

 

Nailea, I wondered the very same thing when I was little. Needless to say, I agreed with your conclusions, too.

lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Well, I for one can't stand marmite, unfortunately we live not far from a marmite factory, and the smell that permeates from that place smells exactly like cat food! :shock:
