Foods that are an assault on the senses and should not be tolerated in a civilized society?

Jello molds

:popcorn:

:bounce:

:cry:









































:P

It better be flour and pepper or it's just an abomination.

my mom makes one for thanksgiving that involves cranberries and nuts and pineapple, and frankly, it's amazingly delicious.

the food of the korean gods.

I have a korean student and I told him the only way he is going to pass is his momma needs to cook me up a feast


:woohoo:

Funny how cabbage-gone-bad from one culture can taste just nasty, but cabbage-gone-bad from another is tasty. Especially when served with mashed potatoes and

"Because of its smell-routinely described as rotting meat, possibly human meat-the lumpy oval fruit is banned on most forms of public transportation and not allowed into high-end hotels and many other self-respecting public places. NO DURIAN signs are commonplace. Because of the inch-long, rock-solid, razor-sharp spikes that cover each four- to ten-pound fruit, it is registered as a deadly weapon in Vietnam. But because of its taste-a cross between lus-cious almond custard, rich vanilla ice cream and Zeus' own ambrosia, legend has it-it is consumed and celebrated like no other fruit in the world."

YUM!

Smells like nasty old gym shoes.

Bleah.

Ugh.

on hotdogs!:loveya:

:P

I don't eat things that smell like farts.

:puke:

Otherwise,

yup.

I never smell my dog's paws. But he does sometimes smell like corn tortilla chips.

Interesting.........:shrug:

the way its odor releases from the skin days after consumption is beyond my tolerance. x(

Garlic is a gift from the gods themselves!

and anything with coconut in it.

They stink like lighter fluid mixed with essence of monkey ass.

You know, in France they actually have LAWS against
eating that reeking crap in public places? They FINE
people for eating Limburger on the subways!

pickled eggs, and Irn-Bru. :scared: :puke: I had all of these at a "British Night" party when I was studying at Cambridge, and IMO they were AWFUL. To this day I can still remember what the pickled eggs tasted like and it makes me gag just thinking about it. :puke: Irn-Bru, I'm pretty sure, gets its name from iron oxide because I'm convinced it is composed of liquified rust, and Marmite...well, I can't really describe it, but one of my friends who also tried it made the enlightened comment that it "tastes like ass." :shrug: I have no idea what ass tastes like, but IMO Marmite is pretty gross.

Which isn't really edible food since you have to spit it out, but still, it's disgusting to all 5 senses.

One of the few universal moments of American (or Western) life is the shared experience of repulsion and horror upon our first bite of a brussel sprout. Passed on from generation to generation is the sadistic parental habit of forcing this evil upon the young. It is however a uniting shared experience that sets the bar for the worst of life's experienced that is the instantaneous mark for disgust, pain, and victimization to compare with all that follows.


No discussion of the evil that are brussel sprouts would be complete without mentioning their 800 pound gorilla cousin-cabbage. Served cold, such as cole slaw, the cabbage is a useful and productive member of the food civilization but joining the list of toxic relationships to be avoided at all costs (oil/water, Republicans/YOUR money, Pennsylvanians/the interstate highway system) is cabbage and heat. When combined these two normally benign elements create a stench that causes mortals eye popping fear. My own mother eventually had to put her foot down and demand that my stepfather's slow assault on our senses with a crock pot and a head of cabbage be banned to the back porch though I am still not sure what was worse-fleeing from this acrid smell IN the house or the horror that awaited us on those hot humid coastal summer nights in our septic take dominated backyard. My mother, brave women that she is, at once provided a safe haven for her family but at the same time created an unholy battlefield of two devastating biological weapons. Looking back this must have been another universal shared experience as all the kids in our neighborhood played in the street not in the backyards and why you always see basketball hoops in the FRONT yard in the mid-Atlantic region.

But again I think it all goes back to the brussel sprout.

The brussel sprout is a blessed veggie

I join you in your loathing of those miserable little things - they are Satan's dog droppings.

The secret is not overcooking. More than any other veggie, overcooking completely ruins brussel sprouts.

as I liket to call them

:blush: :shrug:

Even, I, krispos42, consumer of vast quantities of, shall we say, non-organic, non-natural, processed, and/or 'fast' food think this stuff should be chucked in the dustbin of history. Hard.

And I used Velveeta to make a tasty beefy mexican dip!

If it contains below a certain percentage of cheese they have to call it 'cheese food product'.

:puke:

:shrug:

I particularly like Honeycrisp.

I wholeheartedly agree!

Anything that tastes or smells of licorice or fennel is an abomination. I can't be in a room with that shit. :puke:


Also, chemical sweeteners. All of them.

:puke: and double :puke: !!

That stuff is excellent.

So's any brand of honey mustard.

:drool:

It's required on a sandwich.

Fucking DISGUSTING shit.

:puke:

<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

there are other foods I am leery of or don't much care for, but these things should be declared unacceptable.

that is a pretty jello mold, by the way.

I make a cranberry orange one that is really really good, and a lemon/lime cream cheese, cottage cheese crushed pineapple one that grown men fight over when I bring it to a covered dish meal

I know people who like this! :scared:

:scared: <<< me too

Spew.


:puke:

Pumpkin Pie is a close second

:puke: :puke::puke: :puke::puke: :puke::puke: :puke:

:D

:P

The mincemeat pies I enjoy don't actually contain any meat. Check out what Wikipedia says about mincemeat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mincemeat

The stuff I grew up with though is horrible. Thanks for the info! If I ever find someone who makes authentic mincemeat I may have a taste.

"Northerner" here.

But it smells like satan's bunghole after a fierce round of diarrhea.
how people can eat something that smells so vile is beyond me.

:puke:

We have a winner........

Horrid horrid stuff, fish in the microwave.

mmmm, desert for teen grounding.:)

what the hell are those things, anyway?

** on edit ** -- the Ranch variety seems to be the worst olfactory offender . . . .

I can't tolerate the taste, smell, sight or even the acknowledgment it exists.

My alltime favorite politician was that guy in the commercial who told the little girl he didn't like cheese. A platform to eliminate cheese would earn my vote forever.

How odd. Wonder who thought of that... maybe I'll try making a tuna cassarole jello mold! YUM!

celery, carrots.... maybe even bamboo shoots....

I'm not sure that thing even qualifies as a jello mold.

I wouldn't even touch this if the duck were still attached.

Damn them both to :puke:

...the bottom of the toilet...

That includes all of them for me.

:beer:

:9

there are a lot of things I have not tried, but of the things I have... this is what I can come up with.

processed anything, vegetable oil, shortening, ghee and dalda, dried coconut flakes, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, iodized salt, most frozen foods. I've never tried egg nog but it sounds horrible. How can you drink raw eggs?


I am the world's most hardline opponent of peeling potatoes. The peel is the best part. I like making mashed potatoes with the peel. I like french fries with the peels.

I am also a hard-core supporter of real cane sugar and natural sweeteners like honey.

celery, sloppy joes, sweet barbeque sauce (I like the tangy Carolina style), ketchup, miracle whip, liver, that braunschweiger crap, salmon, shrimp, crabmeat, lobster, and sliced, individually wrapped American "cheese".

:puke:

the horror, the horror...

Never had them, never will have them. Gag every time I see them at the grocery store.

New York? That's just greasy cardboard with ketchup smeared on it.

:hide:

house with his deep fryer crap and injectable seasonings. He started his process and it stank up the fridge and the whole house. I had to leave to keep from puking.
