Sometimes, that can manifest in rather harrowing acts of eating just the kinds of food that make you genuinely sick to your stomach. Maybe these people's accounts of their own experiences eating various foods they found to be utterly terrible, will strike a chord with you.

    Font - CoachiusMaximus · 1d My grandmother cooked up a half a dozen pies for a Thanksgiving or Christmas, so long ago I forget which. She sliced me off a little piece first and had me try it. It was AWFUL, but I ate it and thanked her. Later that night after dinner we were getting ready for dessert and grandma just started crying. She had baked all the pies with salt rather than sugar.

    Rectangle - 3 2 Awards Pumpkin pie but the person forgot to remove the wax paper after proofing the crust which caused the filling to not set correctly. So imaging eating pumpkin soup out of a paper bowl but also eating the bowl at the same time. G Reply 3.9k +

    Font - wanderingstar625 · 1d 3 2 Awards When we were kids, we were staying overnight at a family friend's house, and their sons made waffles. But, they used CUPS of salt instead of teaspoons... My sister and I got our waffles first and started slowly choking them down until the kid's mom finally tried one. She was horrified that we'd kept eating them without saying a word!

    Font - oryx506 · 23h 3 1 Award Guy I worked with gave me an italian sub he brought back from his house while on break. I told him I was okay but insisted. From the first bite I could tell something was weird about it but I kept taking small bites to be polite. Eventually the dude tells me that his mom used to work at the gas station next door and that she'd take the subs about to expire and put them in the freezer. The sub was 5 years old. G Reply 1.2k ...

    Font - Wepoozelator · 22h My parents went to have dinner with friends when I was a kid. They said that their friends cooked a pasta with cat food in it and served it to them. They politely, but begrudgingly, started eating it, bite by bite. Three or four bites in their friends started laughing and explained the prank, then served them the real dinner. I don't think my parents have completely forgiven them for that yet. G Reply 159 ...

    Font - Huck4108 · 1d My friend's mother made something they call| "squishy noodles" at his house. It was like a plate of mush on top of overcooked noodles. It was awful. I muscled like half down and she gave me more. G Reply 4 840 3 ... +

    Font - Dewy_Wanna_Go_There · 1d 2 Awards My grandmother was amazing on thanksgiving. Most precious memories of a dinner. Delicious everything. Homemade bread, and pies. But on a normal day her cooking was like the Great Depression. No seasoning just food. G Reply 1 5.0k ...

    Font - Wowsa_8435 • 1d A Bay leaf. As a child of about 8, friends had us over for spaghetti dinner; they used bay leaf for seasoning. My mom wasn't so fancy, I had never seen a bay leaf. I was raised to be polite, so I ate the damn bay leaf thinking it was just how she made spaghetti. G Reply 4 642 3 ...

    Font - catrax • 1d When I was in my mid-teens, my father and I went to visit his mother. She was the worst kind of cook; poorly skilled but thought highly of her food. She'd made a noodle kugel and offered us some. Being the dutiful grandson, I accepted a piece and struggled to get it down. As I cleaned my plate, she called out from around the corner of the kitchen to ask me how it was. Before I could answer, my father told her "Catrax loved it and wants another piece!" I always said he had a me
