Like I said, it tastes exactly as bad as it looks. I tried so hard to work out away to get around the taste because it is so good for you, contains a lot of iodine etc. I tried frying it until it was crisp, mixing it with various other strong tasting things. It defeated me every time..
I had Tandoori Chicken in an Indian Restaurant in Westminster that is the only thing I ever had served which I could not eat. Actually there is a Harvester in Bradley Stoke that I went in once and sat down, but when I saw what the people at the next table were served up I left before ordering so I suppose that doesn't count.
They do snails in Raymond Blanc's restaurant in Bristol (jolly good) but I have never dared eat them and nobody has ever dared to share some with me.
Sausage and mash or pie and mash or in fact anything that involves mash potato and a gravy - vile. I like mash but no other food or sauce must come anywhere near it on a plate!

I had snails on the Champs-Élysées about 30 years ago. They didn't really taste of anything, just a chewy texture and butter and garlic.

Oh, god. I remember a cousin picking up a live sea cucumber on a beach and squeezed the middle of its body until it actually split in half. I cried hysterically as I thought it was so cruel of him. He assured me it still can survive by evolving the halves into two independent sea cucumbers.
I didn't believe him until adults backed him up. Even so, I do not want to witness something like that again.
Li-chi (like eating an eyeball)
Olives (fatty and gungy with nasty taste)
Avacado pear (the word pear is misleading to the unwary and they are greasy/tasteless and nothing like a pear)
Marzipan (waste of butter and almonds)
Liver (dry and bitter)
Kidney (dry and bitter)
Stilton mould cheese (tastes of off food but I like unmouldy version)
Liquorice (chewy but not pleasant at all)
Shredded wheat (I would rather eat a bowl of unmilled wheat than those dead things)
Glace cherries (cherries ruined)
Overboiled cauliflour
I went out for a meal last week and had the 'cheese board' at the end of the meal. Most of the cheese (stilton, cheddar, brie, goat) were quite delicious but ........there was one called Oxford Isis - it smelled and tasted quite revolting. My OH tasted it and proclaimed it tasted of pooh ...........quite how he'd know that I really don't know.
I'm not sure it counts but the worst thing i've ever had to swallow is aloe vera juice. It was years ago but i've never forgotten the disgusting biter taste.
