ooooh i can smell it in my head already-
God, coming to this thread was a mistake XD
The grossest thing I've accidentally eaten is a mere molded bread.
How is it possible to drink coffee without sweeting it up even a little? I love coffee, but for me it's just too rough and bitter to drink raw. I wanted to learn how to drink it without sugar as per my efforts to lower my sugar consumption, but I was unsuccessful.
I can't really give advice, as I only like coffee when bitter.
Do you have a problem with bitterness in general or just coffee?
I drink coffee without sweetener or creamer. I like the bitterness. I think it's just a flavor thing that some people may not be able to get over.
I like it the other way too, but if I'm very tired I'm more likely to drink coffee black as it wakes me up faster. Also if I'm wanting to wait longer for lunch I'll drink black coffee to lessen the feeling of hunger.
The most disgusting thing I ever had to eat would be....a cream puff.
I remember in elementary school we were outside at recess and one of the girls had a plastic baggy full of cream puffs (I thought this pastry was tasty looking).
So when she offered one to me I took it without hesitation. I bit into what I thought was something yummy and I was so very wrong. It was foul and utterly disgusting- the filling was sour but no I could not spit it out, I was taught manners and I swallowed.
I carefully edged closer to the trashcan and deposed of this monstrosity. Never again have I touched one and when I see one I get flashbacks of that sunny day at recess but I can say I never ate other more hellish dishes because they will NOT get close to my mouth.
Aww! That actually sucks because cream puffs are so good!at least to me they are, not sure about others
literally I was thinking the same thing?
Also, @dollynightmare I was not taught manners I would have spit it out.
I do not know if it is a cultural thing or me just being shy but because of work and friends I have been forced to eat many disgusting things because I do not want to make anyone upset. My list is endless but I have not had anything close to century eggs or insects or guts. I have drawn the line there.
My most recent incident was one of my coworkers has an Irish spouse so they brought in an Irish dish of what the spouse made. I did not get the option to say no or I will have it later, just a bowl with the concoction in front of me on my desk. To say the least I was not happy but my my coworker next to me who also had the same dish placed in front of her was not happy either, she sported the same face I was feeling.
I looked up to my coworker who gave me the dish and smiled waiting for the explanation of what I had in front of me that I was expected to eat with a spoon. They smiled back and informed me this is their spouse's famous, "Irish toffee pudding!"
What is a Irish toffee pudding you might ask. Well, if you look online what I had did not look like the google images. This is what I had.
I continued smiling as my coworker watched me and I picked up my spoon and took a bite. I attempted to not let my tongue touch it but like always it was a failure. I chewed and gulped quickly and I said "oh God this is delicious she has my compliments."
This pleased my coworker greatly and I finished the dish using my soda to wash the taste away. I hated the consistency, the taste, and its appearance. It wasn't unbearable grant you but it was still horrible. I finished my bowl and hoped he never brought this dish in again or any.
I've also accidentally eaten earwax and it was quite unpleasant.
I once made chocolate spaghetti with some friends. It was regular spaghetti topped with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, and stuff. Umm... would not recommend. I have not been adventurous in the kitchen since. 
I don't know what I ate but she said it was a cream puff and it looked like one. Now looking at the ingredients it looks like vanilla is typically the filling but what I ate definitely had some nasty sour filling.
I thought we were good friends but maybe she tricked me into traumatizing my taste buds forever, I can never try one again.
Yep it is supposed to be a sweet and very mild filling.
It would not be absolutely impossible that it would have some sourness if they were cheese-based, but it's not at all common for puffs (never saw it actually), so I think it is unlikely, but not impossible. Strong-ish cheese in dessert is an acquired taste I guess, and can taste 'off' at first.
There's no way that wasn't expired or gone bad. I have never heard of a sour cream puff, maybe she filled it with sour cream lol
Goat cheese... I love cheese but there's something about the taste of goat cheese that makes me nauseous instantly. And I have emetophobia.
Also the weird squishy jelly like insides of a tomato. The texture makes me gag, I actually can't swallow it.
I also hate anything fish or seafood related because fish used to make me throw up but I'm vegetarian anyway so that never comes up. Even if I wasn't though, I don't think I'd ever eat any raw fish or meat because of my phobia.
Besides that I don't really have any strong food aversions... I once put way too much salt on an eggplant (the recipe told me to extract the moisture with salt I think and I forgot to rinse them... 
)
Never ate any creepy crawly things luckily and I'm not going to say anything else about that so as not to jinx it.
Omg I thought I was the only one! I don't even know what it is, it's just vile. And the taste lingers too 
Its just a taste that seems to never come out of my mouth!!! My family thinnks im absolutely mad for hating it.
So does everyone I know lol. They don't get how intense and disgusting even the smallest amounts of goat cheese taste to me... Maybe it's a genetic thing like how cilantro tastes like soap to some people?
Weirdest: I once ate those cooked snails - they tasted... odd but also it was the kind of taste you'd kinda expect from a snail?. The kind of taste you'd associate with the word "wet". The texture was weird too.
Grossest: Brussel Sprouts. Nothing wrong with them as a food, they're just so MUSHY.
@Eiranyx I've eaten cow tongue too! My mom likes it and used to make it once in a while.
I kinda want to try like, cooked insects one day but idk if there is anything like that available at my location haha.
Maybe..i personally love cilantro. Its amazing. But goat cheese...it just makes me feel sick, even the smell5
Same, cilantro is great and I feel sorry for everyone with that gene.
I acrually Googled it and apparently it's because of several factors, such as goat milk going bad more quickly, bucks and does living together, the cheese being poor quality... But idk I'm not convinced. The taste might be less overwhelming when it's milder but it's still there and it's still gross.
Pro tip, folks: If your Brussels sprouts are mushy, you're cooking them wrong. Cut them in half, peel off the dark outer leaves, and pan sear them with butter and garlic until the edges are browned and crispy.
This won't stop people who well and truly hate Brussels sprouts from hating Brussels sprouts, but it might save someone who's simply had them prepared badly.
Can confirm. The wife and I eat brussel sprouts at least once a week. A little bit of char on brussel sprouts cooked with onions, balsamic vinegar, and sausage is just delicious.
(Which anyone who knows me would be surprised because I hate most vegetables with the fire of 10,000 burning suns.)
The breading of the cream puff is not always super sweet. To me it taste really eggy, which I can understand why it might turn people off. I think the sweetness in the cream or icing is suppose to help mask the taste.
I am personally not a fan of cream puffs.
Eating an apple with a worm in it is like one of my worst food fears. That, and drinking one of those Kool-Aid pouches and finding a worm or another, possibly grosser creature hanging around in it. Makes me cringe so hard
Yea I've heard that bit of advice. Last time I had them I was like in my teens so mom was doing the cooking. My mom just, doesn't fry anything almost at all, because she believes it's harmful or something.. since then i had like some health issues that prevent me from eating most vegetables (ends up with excruciating pain) so I don't want to risk it.
No, thankfully not,,,!!! But I know there was that weird thing going around about Caprisun, mold, and worms wayyy back in the day when I was a little younger. I don't know how true it was, but I haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since
When I was a smol girl, one of my aunts made me shrimp spaghetti. Not too out there or gross but man... that made me hate shrimp. And uh... funny story but I thought it was my uncle who had made it for me. A few Christmases ago I was roasting my uncle and told him how much that made me hate shrimp. My aunt really quietly was like "um that was actually me".
Me: ... FATALITY
(Sorry aunt Beth!
