Ask Lemmy

I've eaten ass

Balut

Friend gifted me some of this, and it's truly awful.

An ant that I ate

Well, there was natō, which is just slimy fermented soybeans. Had a taste like rotten sick and a texture like milky mucus covering half-mushed beans.

Not a fan of sea urchin either.

Also eaten a few expired food items that made me very wary of repeats, and usually put me off the food in question for at least a year. Rotten fruit cup that tasted like acetone, slimy off ham, chunky lemon milk.

Last, I once tried to cook a ham hock in beans. Recipe came out tasting like what I imagine stewed human flesh would taste like. Just wrong. Couldnt say exactly why, but nothing about the smell or taste told me it was edible. It was the most visceral "you're-eating-a-dead-thing" feeling i've ever gotten.

Oh! This happened last week. It was a mocktail featuring iced matcha and espresso foam. It reminded me of the most disgusting thing that's ever gone into my mouth by accident.

Probably not the worst, but I once ate a massive spoonful of flour thinking it was icing sugar.

Scallops

A turd.

A sip of one of those bottles with a snake on really strong liquor. The moment it hit my tongue I knew I fucked up. Tasted like death and I had to run to the toilet because I had to instantly throw up. Was nauseous for an hour after. 0/10 experience would not recommend. I knew I should have known I fucked up when the owner of said bottle looked absolutely mortified when I took the sip haha.

hair, sand, all sorts of medicines without capsules, fish bones, this flavor will stay with me for a long time🤢

A Jatz biscuit from a packet that was swarming with ants.

Recently? My cum probably.

Malort

Tastes like turpentine and grapefruit juice. The former I've actually tried accidentally... dipped my paint brush in my cup of water and took a swig of the other cup. Somehow, the malort was worse. Learned recently that they make a barrel aged version that they claim is

dare we say, sippable

We do not.

Cauliflower. Just thinking about it to make this comment made me dry heave.

Nah, this is the internet.

After a rough basketball injury put my tooth through my lip, I ended up with a mucal retention cyst on the inside of my lip a few days later. I was in the doctors waiting room, and it burst in my mouth. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience, as I rushed to the bathroom to spit it out.
