Caviar, especially salmon caviar, which tastes and smells just like Mike's Cheese Bait Salmon Eggs that I used when I was a kid for trout fishing.

Agree with that one too! Now one other thing comes to mind for me: Velveeta cheese. Same reason as the caviar above. Used it for fish bait so much that I cannot stomach it at all. I just look at it and immediatly recall the days using it with fishy hands to bait the hook. It seems that I can also recall the smell in my mind at the same time! rotflmo

Ray, menudo is good if done right, with muy chili powder. Also, the Mexican cure for hangover.

Funny, as I have said here before, that the government a few years ago did billions of dollars of research to discover that the enzymes in tripe help to open the cor pustules in the brain to relieve headaches. And as I said before, the Mexicans figured that out years ago. Your tax dollars at work.

For those who can't stomach cooked peas, my mom used to tell the story of one of her younger sisters who hated peas. One night she had a small serving to eat, but just couldn't do it. After much wailing and drama, her parents didn't give in. To try to mask the taste and consistency of the peas, my aunt got the bright idea to make a pea sandwich. Now she had doughy bread combined with cold cooked peas, not to mention a much greater mass to choke down. I suppose she got through it as she turns 95 in April.

How in hell could a thread like this go past 3 replies without someone bringing up Lutefisk?

You people are a bunch of amateurs and have no idea of what really bad food is all about. My bird dogs wouldn't eat about half of what first wife made, and the thought horse turds were really a treat.

I suppose the same thing could be said about Haggis, but I've never met anyone who claimed that they liked it.

Does Vegemite fit in here anyplace?

Vegemite is fine , as long as you smear a very light scrape of it over the bread and butter.

A thick layer of it tastes like shit for sure

Raw oysters. Any “food“ you have to swallow whole without chewing isn’t food…… But I do love them smoked and especially fried……….

jdollar, there is where we differ; I love raw oysters with a good hot red sauce, but never really cared for them cooked.

Since you’re swallowing them whole with hot sauce, how can you taste the oyster?

If beer counts as food, then bitter hop'd up micro brew, Indian IPA's all that stuff is over-rated. Do all drinkers of it actually enjoy it?

No, we've never met but I can tell you I like Haggis. Once bought and ate an entire Haggis on my own as nobody wanted a share. I've got lots of Scottish DNA so that maybe helps.

Viva le difference! I like Menudo too, but most white folks don't. Individual tastes.

I'm with Muzza on the Vegemite. I keep a jar in the pantry, but must confess it lasts for years. Just a light spread over previously-buttered toast adds an absolutely unique flavor profile. I better have some this morning, as a matter of fact.
Ann, growing up, Velveeta was what we used for grilled cheese sammiches, too. Once I started using Tillamook cheddar, there was no going back. Been decades now since I have bought Velveeta -- and yes it can make good fish bait.

Durian.

There's a reason it's banned from public transportation and hotels in some locations. Peeeww...

And, as for canned meat...

While there was always a can of spam in my dad's camper or survival box, he would never willingly eat the stuff.
Once I asked why and he described life on the family's Arizona cattle ranch while his dad was stationed in New Caledonia during WWII, and the irony of having to eat Vienna sausages, Spam, potted meat, and the like during the meat rationing.
He said he had his fill after that.

When in Texas in November last year I was offered Menudo. Never tried it before and when told the main ingredient was more than willing to try it. Delicious ! Would eat again anytime.
My Chinese wife often makes dishes with tripe. It's not a Chinese staple but several interesting and delicious dishes can be made with it so I guess I was pre-conditioned for Menudo. Mexican or Chinese style, for me it's all good with tripe.

Yes, it surely stinks. Encountered Durian often in Malaysia many years ago. Due to that unique odour it took me quite some time to pluck up the courage for a taste test. Surprisingly, if you can get past the stink the taste is actually not bad. I still eat a little sometimes but mostly in restaurants where it is served sweetened a bit.
