What's the worst thing you've ever eaten?

dark crystal

So, on a bit of a weight loss kick recently and spotted a product in Holland & Barrett at the weekend called 'slim pasta'. Basically it was a packet of penne pasta made from some asian plant. Fat free, gluten free, carb free, almost calorie free. Great, I thought, pasta without guilt! I'll give it a go.

Anyway, brought it home and made a bolognese. Opened the packet and the smell of fish almost knocked me. Fish!! Ok, the directions said this was normal and to rinse the stuff before heating it. Done. Poured my bolognese on top and got chowing. Jesus, it was the rankest texture I ever had in my mouth. Ever. Rubbery, tasteless vomit inducing muck. Apparantly this stuff actually sells pretty well in these stores. I'd love to know how anyone could stomach this stuff.

Anyway, just wondering what the worst thing you've ever eaten is.

There's no calories in pasta, surely?

My office had a spread on for Chinese New Year (not an Asian company, but huge Asian population in Toronto). Most of it was grand, but made the mistake of biting into some type of pastry without finding out what was in it.


I can't even describe how vile whatever was in it. I actually had to spit it out into a napkin and try to wash my mouth out (at my desk, where thankfully nobody saw). Couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for hours.

I think you encountered Konnyak/Konjak. It's actually lovely when prepared properly, but it does have a weird texture and in it's more natural form it looks like a chunk of granite. There's no way in hell I'd put Bolognese on it though, you want it in a brothy, soupy kind of thing.

There's always those little yellow cards beside the comments nowadays.

If I had to say something I've eaten I'd go with red cabbage

Olives.... salty / slimy / sneaky feckers!

My hatred for them comes from when we were young and in Spain on holiday. The breakfast buffet has what I thought were dark red grapes; these turned out to be black olives... b45t4rd5!!!

Chocolate or Coke, can physically feel the teeth rotting in your head, ewwww!

Yes, it was Konjak. It was a range of products made from this plant and they had penne pasta, rice and noodle versions. They actually reccommended you eat this with stir fry meat etc, so I thought the bolognese would be ok. I was wrong. So wrong.

Nucular Arms

KFC probably.

I took one bit out of a piece of their chicken about ten years ago and a river of molten oil cascaded down my chin, actually hot enough to burn me.

I've never set foot in one again.
