What is the most unusual or horrid food you have eaten

Hi all 

New topic for us all 

Mine is tripe

When my brother was in primary school he had to do a project on India. As part of the project, you had to make some traditional Indian food. My Mum found (goodness knows where) a recipe for orange juice soup which they then made together, and it is still a running joke among the family that it's probably the worst thing we've ever tasted. I think putting orange in other soups is a real thing, such as carrot and orange soup, but this was definitely not an authentic recipe and it really did taste awful.

Sounds disgusting @Tori_Scope

Years ago I tried tripe with salt and vinegar happy too say I haven't ate it since ?

I am lucky to have never eaten anything truly disgusting! At least nothing bad enough that I can remember it to share here, anyway!

Nothing really unusual but I have had wild elk jerky which was quite nice but I preferred plain old beef jerky!

I also have tried salmon jerky which is really nice and extremely good for you. It is very high in protein and has little fat or carbohydrate.

I once won a month's supply of seaweed crisps.  On receiving them I understood why they were being given away.  Vile.

Salt and vinegar crisps, I hates em. 

janer1967

How can anyone hate crisps, though maybe the seaweed ones though seaweed is quite nice if cooked right

Tori_Scope

That's almost a bannable offence @leeCal

Chloe_Scope

Nah I  agree @leeCal, no need for them!

@janer1967 and @Tori_Scope the salt and vinegar crisps chemically burn my lips and cause them to peel slightly! If they didn’t do that I’d just not like the taste and not hate them. ? 

i find balsamic vinegar does the same but far less. Just a sensitive soul I guess.

janer1967

I must admit a lot of the salt and vinegar ones have a very strong taste which isnt pleasant
