    What's something that you'll never eat again and why?

    Majestic_Chipmu... A live grasshopper. Because why the heck did I even do that the first time?
  • 04
    Parking_War_4100 One chip challenge. It tasted like hot chemicals. I think they took it off the market.

    urbabeluna4ever I once cooked a tuna wrap and added what I thought was tzatziki. It was actually vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt. I literally felt a cognitive gap starting on my tongue.

    girl_supersonicboy Muskrat. You think musk is a smell? Nope! It's a flavor too!

    Hebshesh Liver. Despite tasting like chewy ten penny nails, I have a story. My grampa died when I was six. He lived on a farm. After the funeral, we went back to the farm to make sure Gramma was OK and see her settled in. When we were leaving, Gramma

    asked my mom, "Do you still want that liver I have in the freezer?" I thought "Why in the would we want Grampa's liver???"

    Immediate_Seat4... Frog and snail... texture and taste

    Successful-Pen-7... For me, it's mall Indian. I bit down on something unidentifiable and extremely crunchy (I still shudder thinking about it), and I discovered a bolt in the food.

    emojicatcher997 My friend's sister's lasagne (though technically not a lasagne and more like beef mince and pasta sheets drowning in tomato water).
  • 12
    xenedra0 Durian fruit. I imagine that's what the Bog of Eternal Stench would have smelled like in the movie Labyrinth.
  • 13
    AdAny926 Tomatoes and I am sad. I randomly developed a tomato allergy in my mid 30s.

    lasting_plethora Century eggs. That's my most horrible experience... (Don't want to offend anyone)
  • 15
    ankelleddcs Something I tried once and never again is kombucha. It might be a food substance, although I have my doubts.
  • 16
    ShakeCNY Frog legs. Tastes like chicken? Hardly. Tastes like metallic swamp gristle.
  • 17
    sleepingsysadmin Sea urchin was terrible. Most of the sea insects as well are done for me.

    fuzzycuffs Whale. Tried it in Japan. Dubious claims of scientific research aside, I don't think whaling is inherently evil and is certainly part of some cultures. That being said, I won't try it again because it tasted horrible. I can see why it would have been a survival food in a post war Japan, alongside a fuel supply, but now there are so many better options.

    Moidalise-U Whole lobster. Looked at it one time and all I saw was a giant cockroach. But happy to eat a lobster roll. Just like beef, pork, chicken, etc. I just ignore the journey to my plate.

    SCSimmons My wife once asked me why I never ate oatmeal cookies. Did I just not like them? I explained that oatmeal cookies were the one and only thing my grandfather ever made in the kitchen. All of their cooking and meal prep was done by my grandmother, but he had his one special treat he made regularly, and I could always
  • 21
    count on their being some oatmeal cookies in the cookie jar when I visited. He had passed a few years before, and whenever I saw oatmeal cookies they made me think of him and I got sad. "Wow. I guess those were some great cookies, huh?"

    "No. They were absolutely awful, but nobody ever could bring themself to tell him."
  • 23
    FandiBilly Octopus. They're delicious. Absolutely tasty as They're just too smart. I'd feel the same way about elephants.
  • 24
    sunnyxzoe Pork chops were my mothers favorite; she wanted them almost every other day when I was growing up. I vowed never to eat them once I moved out, and ten years later, I still haven't :D
  • 25
    Acrobatic_Garbag... Bowfin, fun fish to catch. But the meat has the consistency of wet cotton.
  • 26
    toffee puds Sushi. Eaten it twice, both times it hospitalised me. On the second occasion, they had to call an ambulance for me at work! Everyone's like but if you go to this place, that place, you'll change your mind and I'm like NOPE.

    PoorBastardButNo Balut. It has terrible taste and ugly looking food. Once is enough.

    bythog Key lime pie. It's not that they are bad or that I had a bad experience with them. I've just had my fill. My boss through college insisted on a weekly staff meeting and he provided key lime pie every single time. So every week for nearly 5 years I had 1-2
  • 29
    slices of key lime pie (I can't not eat sweets in front of me). I'm just done with it. I've had my fill and there are so many other varieties of dessert out there.

    Spiritual-Chard41... Raw sea urchin. It was the most vile thing I've ever tasted. It tasted like milk mixed with the ocean with a metallic after taste.
  • 31
    Big_Surround3395 Duck, had it at a good Chinese restaurant. I was expecting fancy chicken, like pheasant but more, and it was so different from what I was expecting. It wasn't revolting, just not really my bag. Also, alpaca. It's delicious but not different enough from good beef. Not like, say, elk or bison.

    Underwhelming B... Kimchi Man it was awful

    Spasticwookiee Vegemite (sorry Aussies)

    matt_the_salary... Kobe beef. I'm sure it tastes delicious. But I went for Kobe beef on my birthday in the mid 2010s in the restaurant in Kobe famous for serving it. Dinner came to about 300 USD per person (back when the exchange rate was still about 100 to the dollar). At the time I thought it was a great experience to have

    once, no need to do it again. Fast forward a few years later: the restaurant I went to caught itself in a scandal. It had been serving Tajima cattle (the cattle Kobe beef is raised as, but not certified as Kobe beef) and it was passing the uncertified Tajima beef off as certified Kobe beef in its restaurants for several years.
  • 36
    (The qualifications for Kobe beef certification and why it may or may not matter is on Wikipedia under the ) "industry" tab: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wi ki/Kobe_beef Part of that was during the time I ate there. Now I don't know if I even had the official certified stuff, or if I just had the uncertified Tajima beef. I will probably

    never know the difference, but I'm not about to spend big money again just to find out or to rest assured that I've eaten the real deal.
  • 38
    Own_Lobster_3520 Tuna fish. Smells nasty and it reminds me of cats. I don't hate cats but I feel like it belongs to them, just like dog food.
  • 39
    O OminousWiiMusic Liver and my friends mothers sausages. Completely burnt on the outside but completely raw on the inside. The woman dares to call herself an Australian lol. Never again.

    Extension-File8710 Oyster. It tastes fine but I hate the aftertaste so much. The last time I ate it, the aftertaste lasted for two days if I remember correctly.

    secondphase Malort. Chicago, what evil have you brought into the world?

    ayoMOUSE Sea urchin, tasted like an ocean booger. I almost regurgitated it while eating.
