Vegemite, that Australian delicacy. It smells even worse than it tastes.

chitterlins and kumquats........
The funny thing about the chitterlins is that I had a friend make them for me because I never tried them. She told me I wouldnt like them but I insisted on trying them. Well...nothing lost by trying them but she laughed her butt off when she saw the expression on my face when I took a bite!
All I heard was her roaring with laughter and saying "I told you'!

Vegemite is made of yeast extract.
I've never had the nerve to try it since it looks like jarred tar (kinda smells like it too)
But my good ozzie friend eats vegemite on bread every morning for brekkie.
Add another bad taste to my list:
In holland there is a licorice that is called "double salt" talk about the most horrible thing to put in your mouth. This is the only thing that I've ever put in my mouth to literally spit out, while gagging, in public! YUCK!

I'm with all the NyQuil haters--yuck!
Peas have made me gag ever since I was a kid.
I don't like any kind of fish or sea food. Ack! Just the smell of it...I have to runpast the seafood section of the grocery store.
A few months ago, I was at a bar and a friend bought us all a round of some sort of licorice-flavored shots of something. I was NOT expecting it at all. I know I must have looked like the googley-faced creature that "Large Marge" turned in to in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". Come on you know what I'm talking about, don't act like you don't.

Chitterlings are (deep?) fried pig intestines. Smell like crap cooking (literally), I dont know how you could have put it in your mouth, yadda36.

HI, RANCHER!!! 
I have to agree with ValleyGirl, poi is pretty bad...
Aloha oe, we all hate poi...
lol
I cannot even imagine anyone intentionally eating fried pig intestines. EWWWWWW! 
Worst thing I've ever ingested would probably be castor oil when I was a kid.
DISgusting!

ICK! That's what chitterlings are? Why would anyone even want to eat those, and where the heck do you buy it? I'm sure they don't sell that at supermarkets around here.

From a veterinarian perhaps?

Nope, not from the vet. Down here in the south, chitterlings (most often pronounced chit'lins) are frozen in big five gallon (I think) buckets with lids, right next to the chicken wings and turkeys.

Caster oil and orange juice. I drank that to put myself into labor with my third and overly due child. Yes...it worked. Guess it was worth it.
I won't eat melons, liver or prune juice!

I agree that black licorice is terrible and so is okra (what is that slimy stuff with bubbles in it that oozes out of okra?) but okra tastes okay pickled. One strange craving I got last year was mayonaise on watermelon. I got up the nerve to try it and it was actually pretty good.

Good for you James and makes your hair shiney and puts a spring in your step and makes cats follow you to shcool!! Mine was mixed in a kind of candy malt, it almost tasted good.

Frog Legs !! Contrary to what my grandmother always said, they DO NOT taste like chicken.
I have to agree on the Baluts. I tried it in PI and was sick for a few days. I never thought I'd see that word again.
The most disgusting "luxury" food is caviar. That stuff is just plain nasty. Well, pate isn't good either.

Goin' back a ways... "'I never eat lutefisk either. It tastes like python.' " Eh?
Peas? I have actually eaten them by the canful... literally opening a can o' Green Giant or whatever and spooning them out until gone. Mostly on camping trips, but not always. Turnip and other greens, boiled and seasoned with bacon? Yummy!
Chitterlings and their close relatives, tripe and menudo, yuck! Perhaps you other Southerners have picked a persimmon off a tree (they need to have ripened and fallen off, squishy) and bitten into it? Same yuck to poorly-prepared calamari (squid). Rattlesnake I gorged on as a kid at Silver Springs, Fla, it did taste like (spiced) chicken, no biggie. My first sushi dinner I didn't understand the wasabi at all, thought it was a separate dish in and of itself so chomped casually on a big green glob of it. Once, only.
Come to think, the absolutely worst was a crushed-up mush of morning-glory seeds (maybe 100 of them) I tried to ingest to get high in college days. I had heard the Aztecs called them "food of the gods." Now I know why those fellas are drawn like that on old pottery...
Weren't spicy or bitter, sort of a deadly oily bland that became increasingly nauseating with the next bits of the mess.
Lutefisk sounds the very worst, though, other than the stuff outright decomposed. I have that URL bookmarked, I'll read it to my spouse over (her) breakfast in the morning.

Speaking of Lutefisk ( bad enough that they soak it in a bathtub of soda for 3 days to get the lye out..)
Bet you're all thinking of the "delicacy" called "surstrymming" (sp?) which is buried in a can for a loooong time and "exhumed" , with neccessary ritual, close to an imporatant time, Midsummer Solstice,(?) when the can is nicely bulging and ready to blow...due to the fermented-fish contents within.
Apparently, it doesn't actually taste that bad...but who'd really know, as its olfactory attributes are then akin to the skunk of the fish-world... Trust me !
Myself: Beets are not meant to be placed in the mouth of Humans, with (anything's) kidney and liver a close second; and oysters on the shell texturally gagwothy.
I don't know if any anaemic Brits had to swallow a "tonic" called Metatone, but imagine drinking water from an old tin can full of nails, left in out the rain for 6 months...
