coke tried to change its formula to make it sweeter... long story short, everyone hated it because it tasted a lot more like pepsi.

so now every bottle of coke comes with the "original" label on it to remind them to never again experiment like that.

Not "wrong" in the sense that it was a bad business decision (far from it -- I'm sure a depressing number of Americans love it), but "wrong" as in morally wrong.

Oh, Jimmy Dean, what foul beast have you loosed upon this Earth? :eek:

The problem is not with sausages, but with the appalling methods used to mass produce them cheaply. If you have a local butcher, he/she might be able to supply you with some decent ones. Try wrapping them in bacon and baking them in the oven, then you'll soon see how sausages can be good.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but about a decade ago, there was a soft drink which was clear and fizzy and flavored, but had these floating tiny globs of... of... stuff... in it that had extra "bursts" of the designated flavor. The globs were the nominal color of the flavor in question.

It was like drinking lake water after an algae bloom.

i tried many times to leave london and every single time the british rail service managed to %$#@*&! me

they currently owe me several hundred pounds in refunds for trains i bought tickets on that never ran... and are pursuing ridiculous legal avenues to avoid refunding me in order to not set a precedence of actually refunding an inter-city ticket for a train that never left the station (or even got there in the first place)

That's a shame as well, if you think English food's characterised by whole fried fish and cheap kebabs tried in London :p At least condemn it by jellied eels from the East End or something...
Then you probably won't like fish head curry from Singapore, which my parents absolutely love. And they would always make visitors try it out, and then they would love it too. But my mum's weird, she regularly sucks the brains out of shrimps and prawns.
Also, my dad says New Zealand is where he's tried the best fish and chips.

For a bad food idea, I'd have to go with pickled plums from Japan. Whilst the concept is sound (pickled things are generally good), the end result is horrid. Hard, crunchy, extremely sour and reminiscent of the worst medicine you've had.

I once mixed BBQ sauce in with the ground venison before broiling the venison burgers. Oh, was that horrible.

My wife once used ham to make sweet and sour pork. That also was horrible.

Mushrooms. Whose bright idea was it to eat a fucking fungus? Especially when it's boiled, canned, and made into the approximate consistency of rubber. I find it a little hard to believe that more people actually like these abominations than don't like them. If I wanted to eat something that grew in my shower, I'd eat...well, I'd stick to bar soap, but I'd have to be pretty fucking hungry for that.

Also, can anyone explain to me the mass appeal of ketchup, quite possibly the most vile substance on Earth, and what it can do that I can't fing another, more suitable replacement for right off the top of my head? Heinz 57 is better. Hell, even that generic KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce is better. For that matter, ballpark mustard is better. Whoever invented ketchup must have been thinking, "Hmm, I have a surplus of tomatoes and sawdust...let's see what kind of condiment I can make out of that!" And his assistant chimes in with, "Well, OK, but I don't like anything that tastes good, so that's out of the question."

At least it's not as bad as fafaru.

Ah, but so tasty. :)

Besides, how desperately hungry did someone have to be before they ate chicken eggs? they come out of a chicken's ass!

Tasty? Well, I guess that's down to individual choice, so good luck to you.

But the thing with chicken eggs is I can imagine someone being short of food and giving them a try. But scrabbling around in the mud at the bottom of a stream, scraping together tiny little fish eggs? That's a real brink-of-starvation scenario.

I think you get fish eggs by squeezing or cutting open a sturgeon or other fish that is about to lay eggs. Trying to scoop them out of the water after they've been laid is probably too difficult to be worthwhile.

The problem is not with sausages, but with the appalling methods used to mass produce them cheaply. If you have a local butcher, he/she might be able to supply you with some decent ones. Try wrapping them in bacon and baking them in the oven, then you'll soon see how sausages can be good.

Indeed.

Lamb flavoured potato chips..
Caviar.
Steak Tartare
Shrimp

All those are good.

Banana. What kind of idiot invented bananas? They look evil, make kids go out with guns and shoot people, infect other fruit in the bowl, taste like a donkey's ass, have caused people to create 'banana flavour' which tastes even worse, and they're all out to get me...

Not a big fan of banana's myself, but certainly nowhere near as bad as natto.

Here, this should upset a few people: I've eaten whale meat. Pan fried with a little garlic and a bearnaise sauce. Tasted like liver.
Not sure what species it was - my Norwegian host's English didn't extend to breeds of whale - but I was told it wasn't an endangered species. Not sure I believe that.
Didn't feel too good about it, but I'm a great believer that when abroad you should always try the local food.

The last time I recall the topic of eating whale came up, there were quite a few pople here who had, myself included. I will not eat whale voluntarily now, due to the extremly high mercury content.

especially when you drive up the east coast of the South Island - you'll encounter li'l mon-and-pop fish-and-chipperies wherein pop's out on the boat by day catching the fish and mom's cooking 'em fresh outta the net

i've never tasted more delicious fish than on the north/south coastal road on the east coast of the south island of nz - never more than a few hours old by the time you're eating it!

Reminds me of the time I spent in Alaska - fresh salmon - less than an hour from the stream to the plate - can't be beat (except maybe at certain sushi places I've been - tank, carving board, plate in less than 10 minutes...)


I guess you don't like zucchini bread or pumpkin pie either. MORE FOR ME!

And me!

Yes, they're cut open.

Yeah they're kinda gross, but at least it's a chicken, instead of a fish. Chickens are higher order vertebrates so it's less insectlike.

By the same token eating human babies doesn't even bother me at all.

Caviar.

What the hell is that about? How desperately hungry did someone have to be before they resorted to eating fish eggs? And now it's supposed to be a luxury food.It was probably a joke played on some rich people.
"Oh, the high court of [so and so] eat these, and they love it. food for Nobility it is..."

Ah, but so tasty. :)

Besides, how desperately hungry did someone have to be before they ate chicken eggs? they come out of a chicken's ass!
probably the same person who looked at a cow and said
"I think I'll drink whatever comes out when I squeeze these..."

OK Cola tasted like ass covered in pine needles. I did but my fair share from the vending machine because I wanted a t- shirt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Soda). They had all these commercials on about how horrible it tasted. Ha ha, the marketing god is not all powerful.

Moxi also tastes horrible. It tastes like paint thinner. I believe Moxi is the first carbonated beverage.

Haven't tasted fried coke myself (http://www.slashfood.com/2006/09/07/deep-fried-is-the-new-coke/), but it can't be good...Only in America...

I draw the line at food that I have to wear any sort of protection to consume.

Any sort of Vanilla soda, except Pepsi's Cherry and Vanilla - it tastes like ice cream. On the other hand, Dr Pepper's Berries & Cream tastes like cough syrup.

a boss of mine freaked me out on my first day
he strolled into my office rubbing his ear, and told me about how he'd had an infection for a coupla weeks
then showed me his finger, which had a blob of orangey goo on it, and explained that he'd finally popped the swelling
then ate said orange blob of goo with some satisfaction

it turned out to be marmalade...

I actually saw a making of type thing on Jelly Bellies. Including the Berie Bots ones (aka NASTY). Some of that stuff they actually taste. Except for the vomit one, they just took their old pizza recipe (never made the market, cause it was sick) and added citric acid.

Reminds me of this bit on the Food Network I saw earlier today. (My parents and sister were watching it for inspiration recipe wise, since I bought a Magic Bullet system for us to use.) Basically, the guy was trying to make some kind of paste involving onions and garlic, and he kept putting drizzles of olive oil on it. Over and over and over again. And on everything else too. Everything was literally drowning in olive oil. I didn't know whether I was going to be sick or spontaneously combust.
