Tuna pizza with strawberries...and no, I am not making that up. I was visiting another country and had stayed too long at a pizza buffet. I think they brought it out to run us off.
Not to be driven off, we ate it with a smile and asked for more.
*shivers*

My mom made us cabbage leaves stuffed with rice, walnuts, and maple syrup. It was pretty bad. We still like to remind her of that. It makes us all laugh.

It's a toss-up between blood sausage with applesauce and boiled pig heart. Although I once had a lightly cooked liver. The whole time I was eating it I thought it was a tongue. Finding out it was liver didn't help.
The worst cookie I ever ate was made by a lady who kept about 10 cats in her apartment. I took a bite of the cookie and then looked at it. There were cat hairs sticking out of it.
I'm surprised that lady didn't cough up hairballs regularly. Maybe she did.

When I was in third grade or so I went on a winter "camping trip" (read: we stayed in the camp's infirmary with running water and heat and beds) with my girl scout troop. One patrol was in charge of "cooking" the spaghetti (read, every so often one girl would be allowed to stir), but the adults were really the only ones near the food. Once dinner was ready we kids sat down to eat the pasta before the adults finished getting the rest of the food. When they came back into the room to all (30 or so) of us complaining that it tasted gross, they said we all had to eat or we would go hungry. So we tried to force ourselves to eat the burny-ick. Then the leaders tasted it, declared it tasted like eating cigarettes, and we got s'mores for dinner. Posts: 1547 | Registered: Jan 2004

You were in third grade and they didn't let you cook on your own? (I mean, with supervision and a little help, but doing most of the planning and work.) That's kinda not nice.

My dad was a chef when I was growing up (he's a motel manager now, just to clarify), and I always was an adventurous eater. When he dumped chicken grease in the stuffing (without skimming the fat off), I started paying more attention to what he was feeding me. *grin*
I made a pretty gross meal last night (not the *worst*, but yucky nonetheless). It's something that usually comes out right, but something very very wrong happened.
I made lumpia (philippine eggrolls--store bought, I'm not a masochist) in the deep fryer, and the oil was not hot enough. So the lumpia was saturated. Blecch.
I also made rice (in my wonderful Rice Cooker!), but I used regular long-grain rice instead of Japanese rice. I hate when I run out of the good rice, the long-grain rice gets soggy. Bleah.
Then I tried something different! (so so wrong of me to do this on Pinewood Derby night! I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention) I thought that if I added cornstarch and teriyaki sauce to the broccoli, I could make something yummy. Unfortunately, I used too much cornstarch and everything got gummy. Not yummy, gummy.
Brave, hungry Chuck ate lumpia and rice.
I didn't even try feeding it to the six-year-old.

In jr high we disected cow's eyeballs in biology class. I was surprised how difficult they were to cut. One of the boys managed to sneak an eyeball out of class and chased the girls with it during recess. He stuck it to a girl's cheek, and she screamed and flailed, trying to get it off.
On my mission to Japan my companion and I were served a delicious custard for desert. I was really enjoying it, digging in without even looking. I felt something large and squishy in my mouth. I looked at my companion and saw a cow's eyeball on the edge of his plate. I swallowed without even chewing.

I'm not sure if this is the worst dish I have ever eaten, but it was the first thing to come to mind.
A few months ago, McDonald's did this new thing where they added an "Authentic Philly Cheesesteak" to their line of sandwiches.
I chose the cheesesteak for two reasons: First, my brother had eaten a real cheesesteak when he went up to Philadelphia to visit Drexel. I had chosen not to go, and thus was left without the experience. Second, I wanted to try something new-- I've eaten cheesesteaks before, but never one from McDonald's.
I should have known better.
It came in package that was about eight inches long. The sandwich was even shorter. (We need to make something very clear: in order to qualify as an "Authentic Philly Cheesesteak", it most be at least a foot long.) I remember that the package was oily on the bottom, but I didn't think anything of it at the time (hey, it was McDonald's, right?).
So I open the package, and there lies the most disgusting sandwich I have ever seen in my life. It was in a puddle of grease-- yes, a puddle of grease-- about half a centimeter deep. When I picked it up, the thing sorta wilted.. you know, the type of thing you get when you pick up a dead fish.
When I bit it... oh my word, when I bit it, to the day I die, I will never forget the feeling. I could not comprehend how something so greasy could be so dry and gamey. I can't describe how it tasted because there was no taste, not even saltiness-- just grease and ... ugh. Every chew was painful. Swallowing was worse.

My wife and I made the mistake of eating in Tijuana on our honeymoon to San Diego. The refried beans smelled like pasture patties. I swear there were little bits of chewed grass mixed in, but we ate the beans anyway. We had Montezuma's revenge for the rest of our honeymoon.
Barbequed pig's intestines have interesting lumps that feel like sandpaper on your tongue.
