Slug.

When I was small I left my kazoo outside in the yard, and then when I went to play it the next day, I learned the hard way what slugs taste like.

They’re bitter.

they do produce the slime as a deterrent, plus they are also likely filled with parasites too.

I was passing through Montevideo, Uruguay, and me and some folks at the hostel I was staying at were out trying a local restaurant. The guy who owned the place saw we were tourists and said he wanted to treat us to a local specialty, and so brought out... something. It was something like animal bits, chunks of fat, and who knows what else all suspended in a hard gelatin. It was truly vile, and I swear it had bits of hair in it as well. To be polite we all tried a small bit, and then got the heck out of there as quick as we could.

To this day I can't tell if he was sincere, or if he really hated tourists and gave us the contents of his dish trap. Googling has turned up nothing, but thankfully our politeness didn't extend to actually finishing the awful thing.

Taste? Probably expired milk. I didn't sniff check as a kid. A mistake you only make once.

Most disturbing to me even though it tasted okay? I had one of those cardboard cartons of Apple juice* lined internally with plastic/aluminium so you couldn't see inside. Well within best by date. I poured a glass, chugged it. Hot summer day. Decided, eh, a little more why not. A giant gloopy growth plopped out into my glass. I retched.

Mother of Vinegar I assumed? Not sure.

I once got a burger from a cheap looking fast food place and my first bite was funky and cold.

Looked at the meat and it was basically still raw and partially frozen in the center.

It was a bad time.

Chicken flavored pet vitamins are up there… probably buttermilk though

It's a totally different taste if you can ever get it fresh (like out of a just opened shell level fresh). There's no sliminess or fishy taste at all, just rich and savory with a hint of sweetness

pig intestine from a chinese restaurant, a meeting of the 'adventurous eaters meetup'. consistency of a mouthful of snot.
