Have you ever HAD to eat something that you really didn't want to? If so, what was the circumstance or food involved?



Once when I was about five, my family were guests at somebody else's cottage for the weekend and my mother was bragging about how good these baked beans she made were and insisted she make them for both families for Saturday's dinner. She spent several days soaking the beans and then simmering them on the Friday. Saturday morning dad packs the whole family into the Buick - three kids, ages 5, 11 & 14 and a cocker spaniel into the backseat.
I don't know what mom was thinking, but she put the beans in a covered roasting pan on the floor of the backseat of the car. The lid ended up getting knocked off and the dog fell alseep IN the pan. It didn't help when I stepped in them afterwards. It was the only food we had to eat and she sat and picked dog hair out of them, smoothed out my footprint and FORCED the whole family to eat them anyway!!!
We were threatened with our lives if we let on to the other family (mom, dad and two boys) what had happened so when we ate them, we couldn't look like we were grossed out even!

Needless to say, my appetite for them waned after that!!!

OH..MY..GOD!! :eek: I would die right there and then if I had to eat that. That's so horrible.

Well..I wasn't forced but I wanted to try Apple pie because it smelled really good. Well..when I ate it I practically gagged on it. No more pie for me. :D

:rofl: OMG, that's sooo gross!

Yeah, my dad made me eat this disgusting herring one time...the texture of it was enough to make me puke:

OH GEEZ - I had that with a couple of girlfriends at work one day. They're ooooing and awwwing over this pickled herring. I might as well of licked the bottom of a rowboat. I don't know how anybody stand that or sushi!

Wasn't forced to...but I had some breaded shrimp one day for lunch at school many years ago (1993). A few hours later, I got food poisoning and was sick for a day or two. That ended my relationship with seafood -- to this day, I cannot look at shrimp or any form of seafood without being reminded of that incident. Euuuuwwwwwww. :barf:


And then about 8 years ago in 1997, my dad made this REALLY strange casserole. I never did find out what the name was -- all I knew was it had tator tots on the top, sprinkled with melted shredded cheese and below the tots were beans, tuna and some other ungodly combinations. My dad FORCED me to eat that NASTY casserole. I ended up emptying the contents of my stomach in the bathroom immediately after supper! That was NASTY! :eek:

My dad once made Hot Dog soup and it was the worst thing I ever tasted. He was experimenting. :barf:

Well, about two weeks ago I ran out of chocolate.
For me, that's a food disaster. ;)

Where to begin? Hmmm KFC food poisoning? ( True story.,..wont touch the stuff now )
The overcooked chicken fingers? ahhhh.....The first and only time we went to "The Red Barn"!!! The red barn, for those of you ( Americans for examp and anyone under 40 ), was Canadas home version of McDs...well, insofar as they made fast food and the menus were similar. Now, apparently, the people who came up with this concept figured that as long as you had a cool building ( looked vaguely like a glass barn ) and food shaped puppets in your ads, you were laughing...unfortunately, they forgot to add something called TASTE!!! It was about 11 pm, and wed been travelling all night..summer trip, my Dad loved to drive 10-12 hours without a stop, so finally Mom said ...LETS EAT NOW, so, we stopped at the red barn...and lived to regret it. EVERYTHING was awful...the burgs the chicken, it was all barfmakingly bad...even the hot chocolate got thrown out!!! ( it tasted like hot chalky water ) Fortunately for anyone with a stomach, the chain died soon after it began, though, even today, sometimes i pass a barn shaped donut shop and smile , knowing that in the 70s, that was a "ptomaine Palace" , AKA a Red Barn! :lol:

oops i looked online and, apparently, there was Red Barns in the USA too :eek:

hot dogs.. i can't eat them without making literal gag reflexes.

i obsessively shared this tale with everyone on here last year, but about five years ago on the discovery channel or something i saw a show that showed some lions killing a cow.. then a few days later i went to a restaurant and ordered an enchilada, and the cheese looked exactly like the cow guts on that show. i knew it was just cheese but i couldn't eat it without feeling sick.

and then there was the peanut butter and jelly sandwich cereal. a long time ago me and my friend cut up peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and put them in a bowl with milk. oh god..

Ah yes, the good old Red Barn - Home of The Barf Burger!! You still see the "ghosts" of them - usually now converted into motorcycle dealerships!!

And KFC - guaranteed a stomach ache a few hours later followed up with the runs the next day! Now that's good eatin'! :D

I never did see the appeal of KFC. I still don't. Their chicken, fries, potatoes and everything else is positively vomit-inducing. When I lived in "Hicksville," there was a stand-alone KFC place for years...then in 2001 or so, KFC merged with Taco Bell. Great...Double the vomit-inducing pleasure! :D

puke: puke: puke:

My grandma made me eat liver, enough said. :barf:

And then there was the time on the East coast trip where my Mother decided to teach me about salt cod....the dried fish that MADE the east coast of Canada. Now, let it be known that salt cod should be soaked in water for at least an hour to take out the salty taste before eating, however, forsome reason my mom had learned to eat it "as is"...so, when she offered me a bite, i tried it ....... Can you say "instant gag reflex!!!"??? OMG it was awful, tasted like salty dried cardboard in library paste!!!
I barfed it up faster than you can say " I going to sue!!!" :barf:

Eww! :eek: Even I wouldn't have done that, LOL!
I would've stopped by McDonald's, instead. ;)

That's big with Italians too - blah! Frank's mom insists on a meatless meal for Christmas Eve so he wanted to pick some salt cod up last year - I drew the line there - it even looks gross! I'd rather Kiss The Cod like the Newfies do - even a live one over eating that! Plus, cod is LOADED with worms! My newfie girlfriend was telling us how they used to fish for it themselves just in a small fishing boat. I asked if they ever "wormed" them before eating and her jaw just dropped - here she was in her 50s and never knew that. She was known for having a weak stomach and sure enough - that did it! :lol:

Well I have a story from today. My friend works at Coldstone and long story short, I had to give her a ride to work today. I went inside for a little bit and she gives me a little sample spoon with this ginger ice cream on it and told me to try it and I put the whole thing in my mouth and my other friend who works there goes "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" It was HORRIBLE. I started gagging...I for real almost threw up. I had to spit it out. Then my friend gave me a spoonful of chocolate ice cream and said "Yeah, I think that stuff tastes like raw eggs."

Then there was the time my parents went out to a wedding or something and gave me money for a pizza for my bro and I. As it turned out, my reg pizza place was closed that night, so, I ordered one to be delivered from a Greek place i used to eat burgers at when i was a kid, well, they made pretty good burgers but......Problem #1, they didnt have reg delivery, so, had to pay to have it delivered by taxi, which also meant it took more time getting here and of course cost a lot more than it should have !!
Problem #2 The taxi had to come get the pizza when it was done and by the time it did, and delivered it, it was ice cold!! Problem #3 The pizza was litterally STUCK to the box top and had to be scraped off with a knife, And worst of all, this cold pizza was inedible THE BOX WOULD HAVE TASTED BETTER!!!!!...so, we drank the pop that came with the order and had cold cereal for supper that night!!! :barf:

:bump: :lol: Im bored, can you tell?

Oh boy, do I have a food horror story. Ok, over the summer in 2004, I went to a sleepover with three of my friends (Rosemary, Tiffany, and Kristina). Anyway, we were at Rose's house and we decided to order Domino's pizza to be delivered. Well, everything was fine at first--we started eating our food and were chatting at the table, until Rose suddenly screams, "Oh my god, there's a pube in my pizza!" (Of course she used a lot more colorful words than that ;) ) Well, we all started laughing then because we didn't believe her at first...until she showed us the hair. I seriously felt like puking. It was BAKED in to the cheese. Oh, but it gets worse--then Tiffany found a couple of hairs in her food. Curly black hairs.

Tiffany called their store, angry as hell and all they could do was laugh at us. It was like they were messing with us or something...they even had the audacity to hang up on us! I guess they thought we were joking.

Anyway, to make a long story short--Tiffany and Kristina took a drive down to their store to get our money back (with the pizza as proof), and Rose and I emailed a complaint to their headquarters. That was a BAD night.

hell, every damn meal my mother makes is a disaster

hell, every damn meal my mother makes is a disaster
:rofl:

Quite the "hairy" story there, #9 :rolleyes:

Hmmm, whos pizza story was worse? Mine or #9s? :lol: Anyone have an even worse one? ( ps, i had pizza for supper last night....good thing too, I wouldnt be able to look at the stuff tonight after reading this! ;) )

I don't have any health problems at all, since I've been doing excercise everyday. My exact health problems are unknown but it is believe to be possible sickness or other kind of problem I don't know about.

This is embarrassing but...a long time ago when i was little, i tried to make a meal that called for "Olive oil" and, not knowing what that was, I drained some of the brine ( the juice its bottled in ) from a jar of olives, and cooked the food in it......needless to say, i threw out the results as soon as I tasted them, and had a sandwich instead!!! :blush:

My husbands aunt made this beautiful lemon meringue pie that she made with
lemmons she brought back from Florida. It was so bitter we couldn't eat more
than one bite.

My parents made me drink milk as a child and it's something that to this day I cannot stand and that includes all other dairy products as well.

I was forced by my 4th grade teacher to try some broccoli but I actually liked it and still do to this day.
