The Best And Worst Thing You've Ever Tasted (THING! Not specifically food...)

[BarBarKetrab]

One of the best things I've ever tasted was this Mexican sweet potato soup that I've eaten a few times (among other things, of course).

The worst was probably that one time 7 year old me thought it would be a genius idea to spice up a leaf of cabbage with a teaspoon of sugar.
"It's gonna be just like salt!" I thought.

The best thing i have ever tasted is the Choco éclair I bought from the café under Eiffel tower that one time I went to Paris. I still remember its taste and how the entire thing just melted in my mouth. I hope I can go back there one day
The worst thing I ever tasted is liquid dish washing soap mixed with water and i actually swallowed one gulp of it My mom asked the maid to wash my water bottle along with the other dishes so she put the dish soap and water inside the bottle but unfortunately forgot about it, and then after she went home and I came back from my extra lessons all quenched up, I gulped down that water from the nearest bottle i could find. I really felt like bringing my insides out and washing them like a utensil.

I washed a glass before pouring in Ginger Ale a few weeks back, but didn't wash the soap out as well as I thought I did. I just threw it out in the sink.

oh no! D: Yeah, luckily the stir fry didn’t take very long, so there wasn’t enough time for the rice turn fully black/set the apt on fire haha

I am convinced one of my friends is a supertaster! She has a SUPER long list of foods she won’t eat, I have seen her turn bright red from black pepper (she says it’s too spicy) and she eats mostly bland foods. Once she told me to try this cake with no frosting that she said was “delicious,” but to me just tasted like slightly sweet bread… Also that is an amazing description of the mouthwash XD.

I also have a very long list of foods I won't eat, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with me not being able to smell. Also I don't like cake frosting that much. Like on the side of cake it's fine, but whenever there's a big glob at the end, or ANY cup cake, I always leave it.

I personally hate soft cheeses, especially cream cheese. I don't like the texture, and the taste doesn't appeal to me at all.

[BLTX]

I LOVE cream cheese! REALLY good on a bagel! Also smerican cheese on a nice burger.

I say cilantro tastes/smells like cockroaches I don't even know why, that's just how I feel
Hated cilantro until recently just to find out it goes fantastic in some dishes, like poke. Great combo with gomadare and rice.

[BLTX]

Serious question, do coackroaches ACTUALLY have a smell to them? I mean alive ones, of course.

[Kelheor]

No idea! I lived in China for a few years, but it was too far north for cockroaches cuisine, and I am not sure I ever smelled the living ones.
Although there was an episode in my life when I was in a hospital for long (I was 7 y.o.), me and other kids made traps for cockroaches with some leftover medicine and orange peels or something. After some time we found white discolored cockroaches in those little medicine bottle traps (apparently, that's not something special,but at the time it was). I think cilantro triggers something in my brain from this time

[BLTX]

Wow, to cruel to tea lovers AND cockroaches I see...

[silverraven0]

Man, people in my family loves leek, cilantro and all of it's family. I can't stand the raw tase it gave me when I bite into it. It just tase absolutely weird.

[silverraven0]

Im the cockroach killer in my family (i haven't killed any for years now. Mostly i just shoo them away with broom to the outside) and sometimes when you kill them with sandals, their guts spilled and some smell, well, like a f*cking decomposed corpse. Never smelled anything when they're intact.

[BLTX]

Thanks! I was just curious!

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

I am convinced one of my friends is a supertaster!

If anyone's curious, there are actual tests for this. They're little strips of paper that look like litmus paper, but they're embedded with a test substance. You put it in your mouth for 5 seconds, and your reaction to the test substance gives you an idea of where you are on the tasting spectrum. Highly entertaining. We discovered that, of my household at the time, two people were supertasters, two people were normal tasters, and one person was a subtaster.

Hm? I'll betcha I'd rank very low on that.

I had brussel sprouts yesterday, I love them, broccoli is great too, I could eat both every day.
My nieces hate them but they are young and then you have more taste buds on your tongue
and sprouts taste bitter then

[Lensing]

The worst thing I ever ate was this.
I don´t know why people like it, the texture of it is horrible.
The neighbour lady gave it to me when I was a kid, I had one bite and puked over
the fence. I do like coconut and chocolate but not mixed together

[BLTX]

Never heard of it, though I'm typiccly not a fan of coconut candy.
