I can't stand the taste of coconut, the only thing repulses me more than that is coffee but dunno if that counts cos coffee is a drink

p.s. also marmite...YUK!

Cant eat pork without some type of sauce masking the nasty taste....If its bbq its all good though.

I can't stomach Cassava it pretty nasty boiled, but if its fried i guess its ok.

Theres really not many things i cant eat though, dunno about eating dog,cat, turtle or anything I would consider a pet. But who knows if I might like it barbecued, fried etc :P.

Wasabi is good !! :P

Worst food i ever ate, "mondongo" Spanish soup made of cow stomach, my parents were preparing it in the house and I started apologizing for all the bad things I had done. I though it was a punishment food for something bad I did, the smell is disgusting and it taste pretty bad.

Gotta agree with 2 of your three.... marmite being the worst. I can endure fresh coconut if necessary, but I seriously dislike it. The smell is ok, if it is VERY FAINT, but most of the time when its used in scents it is way too strong. Coffee is one of those flavors I love when its the right roast and blend and I am in the right mood. But when those three don't come together I would rather have plain water.

The stuff is so bad that you shouldn't even be allowed to write it as a whole word. It is blasphemous and should be written like n***o.
I watched that internet video 2 girls 1 cup where the women defecate into each others mouth. Before I tried n***o I thought that had to be the most disgusting thing to do with your mouth.
I suppose some people like n***o, my cat likes to clean its own ass, I would put the two in the same category of 'faulty taste buds'...


Please read my diary that I wrote when travelling and working in Japan for three months. It is also packed full of information. I hope that it can inspire you to have an adventure too.
Please contact me if I can help you with advice or information.

I actually came to like natto during my stay in Japan. Natto and Rice made for a really cheap breakfast.

I could bring myself to eat fish roe, however I think it was more of a mental block on the texture than anything.

Definitely swedish "Surströmming". I would explain it as sour herring, I almost puked the only time I tried to eat it. And not to mention the stench...

hasn't a clue on what he's missing out on....
for shame... >.>



In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
