Ask Lemmy

Stinky tofu. It's hard to describe the flavor. It's like dead anchovies in fish sauce but with the texture of a slice of omelette. It's like eating rotten fish snot. I involuntarily spit it out immediately after putting it in my mouth, almost like it fell out of my mouth. My hosts laughed and said I didn't have to eat it, but I tried again and was able to keep it in my mouth but was not physically able to swallow it, like my ability to swallow was rejecting it. I spit it into a paper napkin and everyone laughed. I just couldn't force myself to consume it.

Balut

When I was around 3 or 4 y/o, a neighbour kid managed to convince me to take a bite of a dried dog shit.

I don't remember what he'd said that convinced me, I just remember the laughter when I actually did it... I wasn't the brightest kid, but very curious and gullible.

I got some of that pre period goop in me once. I would say that turnabout was fair play for a dude but I don't like blowies so I just got gooped for nuthin

Yeah I fuckin swallowed it, I'm not bitch made

Fly in my coffee is up there.

Boiled down San Pedro cactus juice. Tasted like old, ultra concentrated bong water.

And I didn't even trip.

After a rough basketball injury put my tooth through my lip, I ended up with a mucal retention cyst on the inside of my lip a few days later. I was in the doctors waiting room, and it burst in my mouth. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience, as I rushed to the bathroom to spit it out.

My girlfriends ass

Probably not the worst, but I once ate a massive spoonful of flour thinking it was icing sugar.

The Elvis. The sandwich American rock singer Elvis Presley made famous. Peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Grilled like a grilled cheese sandwich.

Addendum: I am allergic to peanut butter. I got ahold of a soy-based alternative called Wowbutter, and people who are not allergic tell me they nailed the taste, but the aftertaste is kinda not good. So, the first thing I did was shove a whole teaspoon-full of it in my mouth. My brain goes "you dumb fuck, you're gonna die," but I didn't, because it wasn't toxic. So I went and tried everything made with peanut butter (BTW, strawberry > grape for PB&Js), including the Elvis. A lot of it was kinda gross. I guess if you were raised on peanut butter, maybe, I can see it, but I didn't think the experience was anything special. Not when Nutella exists... which I also can't have. But then there's Biscoff spread, which is non-toxic, apparently it's also vegan (wouldn't peanut butter be, too?), and it's ten billion percent better than all that other shit. Though, you would be absolutely right in saying I've never had real peanut butter, or your favourite variety of it.

An ant that I ate

One time I got the bright idea to siphon the water out of my ~50gal aquatic turtle tank for some long overdue cleaning. I anchored one end of a water hose at the bottom of the tank and strung the other end out into the yard and proceeded to start the siphoning process with my mouth. Got force fed a giant gulp of whatever got sucked off the bottom of the tank.

I've put some nasty shit in my mouth since then and nothing comes close.

A turd.

Y'all nasty.

That said, my worst recently was parmesan cheese in soup after having vomited from norovirus. It tastes like vomit in the wrong context...

I'm sure it's not the nastiest thing, but it's what comes to mind. I have a brother and we dared each other to eat stuff as kids, but I cannot recall...

Natto. Japanese fermented bean paste. Slimy and tastes like rotten cabbage.
