I googled that and I’m still confused. Is it a drink or a food?
The way my wife and other members of her family make it, it is a food eaten with a spoon. I guess you could drink it, although its consistency and thickness would make drinking a bit of a challenge.
I have only had my wife’s and her mom’s (both equally horrible) but I guess making it with cornmeal instead of corn would change it somewhat. I don’t know. I do know that my wife’s family and all her relatives love it as my wife makes it. {{shudder}}.
When my younger niece got married in my back yard several years ago, she made brownies for the occasion. She shaped them round, baked them, wrapped them in fancy doilies, etc. and put one at each guest’s place setting.
I tried one bite.
It was the color of dog poop, hard as cardboard, tasteless, and dry. I could not finish it.
Many guests left their wrapped, probably having picked them up and realizing that hefty brownies are probably not a good thing.
Post script: She had met the guy online, dated mostly by phone, none of his family showed for the wedding, and a year or two later they divorced.
It was THOSE DAMNED BROWNIES, I tell you!
I just remembered my ex’s muffins. He was an extreme health nut … all natural ingredients, nothing extra to make the food palatable. Well, these muffins were only 1/2" high and dense as rubber. Tasted like saw dust. They were like hockey pucks, without the fun. But they had lots of bran, if you could only get a bite inside you.
Smokes them, maybe? 
My mother once had an unfortunate experience where she got what she thought was pâté at a buffet. Turned out to be some kind of chocolate paste. :eek:
*And how did she know it was ham? Hmmmm…:dubious:
A head of romaine lettuce that was grown in Canada ! It’s so bitter I can’t eat it . I have a whole head left and I am thinking of throwing it outside for the rabbits to eat.
All of Market Basket lettuces is coming from Canada now. Yucky !
It was an obviously unfamiliar taste, ruling out anything kosher. Or … someone may have nudged her and whispered, “Hey grandma, I didn’t know you ate ham.” At any rate, she practically knocked over several tables on her flight to the ladies’ room.
Persimmons (or kaki) are a thing here in Italy so I tried them. Consistency of snot* and taste of sugar and not much else. Didn’t finish the one I had and threw out the rest. Not a fan of lychee either - it’s a bit like eating raw chicken thighs.
*I later found out there is a variety that is more solid and slightly crunchy and those are fine by me, even if they don’t rock my world.
Oh, I also once tried raw dry-cured sheep prosciutto in Norway. It was handed out at a party, so I didn’t need to throw it out, but one bite was sufficient. I love lamb, but this took the sheepiness about 5 factors too far.
Went into an Asian dessert restaurant in Toronto and almost turned and left immediately due to a disgusting smell. I was giving the wife “are we really going to eat HERE?” -looks which she misunderstood for something else. A while later we’re perusing the menu and I noticed that they served durian topped ice cream. Having heard of durian’s legendary status I ordered it, excited to try something exotic.
When the durian-topped ice cream was placed in front of me, it instantly clicked what the source of the overpowering smell was when we walked in. I’d heard that the taste was nice if you can get past the smell, so I shoved a spoonful of durian into my mouth. Incredible. I’ve never had to force myself to swallow like that. Had to make a conscious effort to force each individual mouth and tongue muscle move to consume the fruit. It tastes exactly like it smells.
Stopped at the first bite, but unfortunately because the durian is so incredibly pungent, I had durian flavoured burps for a couple of hours after the incident. Misery.
Properly cooked duck breast is red on the inside. You can’t compare it to red meat when trying to gauge its doneness. It’s best to know what the meat is and how it’s served before assuming the chef made a mistake.
Leftover red beans & rice from Popeyes. It had only been in the fridge overnight so shouldn’t had gone bad already. Even reheating didn’t help it to not be a disgusting mess!
Store-brand oatmeal I bought at Kroger recently. It smelled “off” and tasted horribly bitter. How the hell do you screw up oatmeal?
Did you contact the store? This may be something that needs to have the batch recalled.
Persimmons are not fit to eat until they appear overripe and are on the verge of rotting. It’s almost persimmon season here in the Midwest!
