The most disgusting foods in the world

Only Liquorice and Haggis here (love em both)

Two - licorice and haggis.

It looks like that Finnish salted licorice. Have you tried that?

I love haggis. Can't for the life of me understand how it's on this list. Shome mishtake shurely.

Mashed turnip, carrot and potatoes, a healthy glug of whisky, and topped off with a big squirt of HP sauce. Mmmmmm

Semolina

YUCK[/QUOTE


One of my favourites when I was at infants school with a big dollop of strawberry jam.

I've tried allsorts

Two - licorice and haggis.

Same here - one was and remains disgusting, the other is Scottish.

Surprised that festering Scandinavian tinned fish isn't on the list - I can't remember the name but it's the one it's illegal to open indoors...

Before I dismiss you as beyond redemption, perhaps you would share with the parishioners exactly where you stand on the matter of quinoa???

Surely obvious by its omission in my post.

I have (well, whatever the Norwegian version is), it's lush! Not seen it in UK shops but there's a good website which stocks loads of varieties.

Been out to South Korea a lot recently with work. Their cuisine Is something to behold. After a short while you realise that kimchi is one of the better options.

I lived with a Finnish girl for a few years, Salmiakki can be vile , her favourites were nicknamed 'paska bombs' (get google translate to let you know what 'paska' is)

Semolina

YUCK

No, no, no. How can you say such a thing?
Semolina is entierly delicious, even more so when had with jam, esp blackcurrant jam. I never have it at home. No one else likes it.

Tapioca pudding is rather nice too.

Placenta....... I remember that chef Hugh Furry Twattingstoll making a dish out of it.

Theoretically, its cannibalism.

I'm just surprised durian fruit didn't make the list. A work colleague once went to China for a holiday and came back bearing the obligatory assortment of sweets for the office. Among them was a packet of chewy sweets that looked like Starburst (which will always be Opal Fruits to me) but tasted like sewage. Every single person who tried one spat it back out again and came out with expletives. A whole bag of durian fruit chews .... uuurgh!!!! She was so embarrassed that she removed the bag immediately and threw it away. ( I was all for placing it on the end of the bank of tables among the other sharing sweets that regularly get raided by one of our senior officers).

Ah, is that what it's called? A colleague brought some back from Thailand, the initial flavour isn't so bad but the lingering aftertaste is rank and lasts at least a day. She was not popular in the office.

Surströmming anyone?

I've got a tin that's been sat around the house for several years while I've been trying to talk someone in to trying it and the tin slowly expands. I'm tempted to stick it on ebay as 'vintage surstromming'.
