    There’s a local grocery store chain here that has the most bland tasting everything in their prepared food counter. You’ve never eaten such tasteless food in your life. Poor seasoning? Try none at all. Everything tastes like cardboard.

    Want to simulate what it’s like to eat food as a 30 year long habitual chain smoker, shop at Freson Bros.

    Kellogg would cum his pants on the spot discovering such blandness could exist.

    Their potato salad gave me depression. I didn’t know you could make a calzone taste like the box it came in.

    Either live octopus or raw stingray. The former is chopped up and dipped in spicy sauce to make it writhe. The latter absolutely reeks of piss (stingrays are full of ammonia apparently). Silkworm larva are surprisingly delicious.

      I can’t have octopus ever since I watched My Octopus Teacher. But am fine with squid

        That would explain the smell and the taste. The one upside to this is that stingray meat never really goes “bad”. It pickles itself. Which as I understand it is the reason people started eating it despite the awfulness.

    Nothing tops the Jolly Rancher story.

    Steve and his girlfriend Samantha went off to college in August. She went to Florida State, he went to Penn. So, she decides to fly to PA to visit him. He was really happy to see her so he decided to give her some oral action.

    He had done this numerous times before and he always enjoyed doing it…but for some reason, this time, she smelled really horrible, and she tasted even worse. He didn’t want to offend her though because he hadn’t seen her in months…so he put a Jolly Rancher in his mouth to cover it up, even though it didn’t do much to help.

    In the course of eating her out, he accidentally pushed the candy inside of her… and stuck a finger in to grab it out. He took it out, and put it back into his mouth and bit it. Only…it wasn’t the Jolly Rancher.

    It was a nodule of gonorrhea.

    As in, the blister-like structure that gonorrhea makes filled with diseased pus was the size of a fucking Jolly Rancher and the poor guy BIT it. I guess it was really dark in the room. He freaked out and started vomiting all over the place when it exploded in his mouth…

    He demanded to know what was going on, turns out she had cheated on him at a club like, the first week of college, and fucked some random guy and the stupid bitch had no clue what was wrong with her. She noticed a strange smell though.

    So now, Steve is freaking out that he now has gonorrhea of the mouth and God knows what else.

    Ordered indian takeout from a place in thr UK. The butter chicken tasted like they cooked a frozen chicken breast and strained a can of Spaghetti Os sauce over it.

    When I was in my twenties I met this girl. I got really sick, and she wanted to impress me and made soup. She knew nothing about cooking.

    She boiled a chicken, did not separate anything. Chopped up a head of parsley and threw it in.

    Then she served it to me with glistening eyes and a hopeful look. “I want you to feel better, I made soup for you”.

    It was just basically grey chicken fat with bones, cartilage, skin floating in it.

    The first thing that comes to mind are these frozen turkey burgers. They weren’t offensive but they were so flavorless. Nothing I added to them made them palatable. It was the damnedest thing.

    I made pancakes once. I didn’t know the difference between baking powder and baking soda. It tasted like chewing aluminum foil or licking a 9v battery.

    I’m generally not allowed in the kitchen.

      This is why the correct way to make pancakes is from a box.

      Preferably use applesauce instead of egg, but you do you.

    I was warned off natto.

    It’s funny, I can think of the worst drink (I dislike Negroni to the point I don’t even understand how people like it, so intensely sweet and bitter and nothing else)

    and the worst perfume (Im Nebbel, smelled like burning rubber) but food, all I can think of is the time my ex made a spaghetti with a sauce of yellow tomatoes that looked exactly like vomit, and when I was trying to eat it, commented that he thought it was “a little loose” and I just lost it, could not eat it, though it didn’t taste awful.

    Worst restaurant food was a Mexican place in San Antonio, got a chicken mole and the mole was made with sweetened chocolate chips; an enchilada with American cheese slice was another highlight of that meal, it was comically bad.
