Egluntyne Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have had two hideous taste experiences this week.....one a moment ago when I tried a Pickled Walnut. Bleeeeuw Never had one before.....and will never have one again. It reminded me that a couple of days ago I had the tiniest morsel of a goats cheese called St George. It smelt like a rotting corpse.....my sister and I recoiled when she opened the package. It was the worst, strongest, most indescribable flavour I have ever experienced. It tasted worse than it smelled ...which I didn't imagine possible! What is your worst taste experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Not a fan of Goats cheese myself...That one sounds disgusting. Never had pickled walnuts and don't fany one at all now. lol My most recent bad taste experience was with an Organic Cornish Brie cheese!! Smelt like last years dirty washing and tasted like the year before's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 gosh, hard to recall but I did have a raw herring in Amsterdam once which was pretty gross but I finished it They have stalls in the street selling them, like we have burger vans. So much more healthy but an acquired taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Poet, I'm impresssed you've even got a photo to back it up . The only things I can't eat are Ladies Fingers (okra?) and broad & butter beans. The first are so slimy it's like eating the entrails of a slug and the second are disgustingly firm then something pops out of the skin like a horrible little alien.

jomaxsmith Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I tried Stinking Bishop cheese last year because foodie programmes raved about how it was a bizarre yet amazing flavour. It was foul. I like most cheeses but this just smelt and tasted like nothing I would ever want in my mouth! It stank the house out!

Guest Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I like most cheeses but this just smelt and tasted like nothing I would ever want in my mouth! It stank the house out! Jo I love fish (despite what I said about raw herring!) my favourite is kippers or peppered mackerel but DH won't let me eat it when he's in the house as the smell makes him feel ill.

jomaxsmith Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Can't say the name would have had me salivating in anticipation I believe it's called that because it's the name of the variety of pears used to make the perry that they wash the cheese in (still with me?!) rather than a reflection on the nature of the cheese! Still stank though! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) I love trying new food. I even contemplated trying a meal worm the other day. Well, the chickens seem to love them!? I think it's a trait I picked up early on, my mum said she caught me eating cat food out of the cat's dish when I was about 3!!! What??? My feathers are very shiny!

Tessa the Duchess Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I can't bear the smell or taste of gin or porridge, which shows how much I love my chickens because I make them a big bowl of porridge every day The worst recent taste and smell experience I have had is Kim Chee, basically a Korean pickle made from rotting cabages DH is addicted to it yuk it stinks the house out, I make him keep it and eat it in the garden shed Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Multiply that by a factor of 20 and you have an idea what St George was like! Tess....I'm with you re the gin......tastes like lavender water smells to me. I always used to eat Kim's (childhood best canine friend!) food and biscuits when I was little! I have a cold wet nose.

Rhapsody Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I adore smelly mouldy cheeses but I was brought up on them, so not a shock to the system for me. For me its over-processed artifical things that turn my stomach I had a teryaki chicken Subway with my kids recently and managed two bites it was the singular most repulsive thing I've eaten in a long long time.

Laura007 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 the worst thing i have eaten is baked beans and peas come a close second, the smell of baked beans is just gross and the taste is rank. paul loves them, i cant even open a tin of them for him. i was in germany a few tears ago and had a savory struddle, i got aboult half way through and found that it was infected with peas. the germans had a bit of a suprise as i started heaving in the middle of the street. when i was in hong kong i has some skewered thing, to this day i have no idea what i ate. tasted ok, but i dread to think what it was. a note for poet! herring cooked in sweden is just loverly, a light batter is just wonderful. pickeled herring in a a nice sweet vinegar is fab.

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I love nearly all food (which is why I am constantly saying I need to diet ) but the only thing that was really yukky was bean curd in China - it looked exactly like creme caramel - with the caramel sauce on it but tasted a bit like beef broth - yuk!
