Burnmeup: Yes I love Thai food. It’s just that for some reason (maybe I was ill one day), My mind got turned around Pad Thai. It’s not the food, it just me.
Am I whacked out from too much end-of-the-month financial processing, or did someone list “vomit” as one of the worst foods they’d ever tried? Does vomit really count as food?
I’m laughing so hard I can barely see the screen.

My mom once made beet, banana & goat cheese salad and expected my teenage daughter to eat it!
Ditto on the Kim Chee and Marmite & vegemite.
Love non-hot Korean food!
Now THAT’S Nasty! I love me some kim chee, but kim chee soup?! Oh and that reminds me, a friend of mine, his brother puts kim chee on rice, and pours Japanese tea over it.
The local Korean markets here make it so it’s hot but no overly hot. If it is fresh it is good. You can tell it goes bad when it turns sour (yuck). There are different types according to my brothers girlfriend. The summer type is without the fermenting fish, and the winter kind involves stinky fermenting fish in it (according to her). I love all of the barbeque dishes in Korean restaurants, and i love all of those little side dishes they serve with it.
Anyway, the grossest food I can think of is called “Balut” it’s a duck embryo (still in the egg), boiled to a soft boil and eaten out of the shell. Head cheese is just plain nasty (and I think oscar meyer sells it in pre-cut slices too). I also cannot stand organ meats. I despise chicken livers and gravy with giblets in it (yuck!). I tried chicken livers at a picnic once and nearly threw up.
Squid (I’ll never forget that little tentacle rising out of the gumbo ::shudder: 
Sauerkraut (pickled anything, really)
Brussels sprouts (The smell…)
Blue fish (even dead the bastard wouldn’t stop bleeding)
Headcheese (the serving of which should be legal grounds for divorce)
And when the waiter put a dish on the table and said “Sweetbreads”, I just got up and left without looking back.
…at night, the ice weasels come…
A few people have mentioned lutefisk. I found this article on the Urban Legends site. I’ve been to Norway twice, but I’ve been able to avoid lutefisk both times. However, don’t judge Norskies on lutefisk alone: While I was there, I also had 2 full course meals at someone’s house, and they know how to cook a good dinner - it should last about 3 hours, and should start with dessert.

Brussel sprouts. I remember being about 3 years old at a friend of my parents’ and refusing to eat brussel sprouts. Mom finally quit serving it when I was 10. There was an article a few years ago about how brussel sprout will no longer be grown in the US. Something about the trade agreement with Mexico. Hooray!
I’ll be there
Where I’ll teach what I’ve been taught
And I’ve been taught…
What is kim chee? (must be that I am from Colorado and have only been to one Korean restaurant.)
lima beans
sauerkraut (nasty nasty nasty)
cooked mushrooms (I like a raw mushrooms in a salad though-weird)
olives
any fish or seafood (mom ruined that for me with a salmon casserole, I had never been so violently ill in my life!)
any custard – what’s that french crap? cremboulee or something like that, my parents love it and refuse to accept that it is custard. If memory serves me right, it is french for custard.
any mexican food with soft corn tortillas
My list is longer as I am a picky eater, but some of you ruined my love for the few foods I like 
For what “Kim Chee” is, I use some dialog from MAS*H:
Hunnicutt: “Kim Chee! Pickled cabbage! They ferment it in the ground [in pots; Frank dug one up when he thought some locals were burying a landmine!]!”
Hawkeye: “There must be millions of these buried all over Korea!”
Hunnicutt: “Major, I’d get title to this land–before word gets out!”
Hawkeye: “Don’t you see, Frank? You’ve just struck cole slaw!”
Kim chee is hot–hotter than jalapeños or curry! I was served some one time in a Chinese restaurant in “Little Korea” in Los Angeles, and it was so hot I didn’t even swallow the first bite! It was as bad as drinking straight Tabasco!!
I have to be amused by people who think Tabasco is “hot.”
I very rarely dislike foods. I LOVE Brussels sprouts, spinach, broccoli, and pretty much every single other green thing that kids hate. While I don’t love liver, I can easily eat it, and every now and then get a craving for it that nothing else will possibly satisfy.
I hate beer of any kind, which, since I live in Ohio, makes me very strange. I also hate Mountain Dew; I imagine it’s pretty close to what would result if one drank Slice and then pissed it out and drank that. I’m not a big fan of squid served cold, although I adore calamari. I’m somewhat of a texture eater, and that was a bit too rubbery for me. Amazingly enough, I don’t really like most pizza, although I’ve found a few that I can eat. And I despise raw tomatoes. That goes back to the texture-eating thing–I can’t stand the goop in the middle. I’ll eat cooked tomatoes in just about any form, but I can only take them raw in very small pieces, so as to avoid the goop.
I was going to say lutefisk, but several people beat me to it, how about Rollmops, pickled herring, all rolled up and sold in a pickle jar? Gag city1
I like most of the things listed except McDonald’s and Hostess products. Don’t care for food product, either. I admit I’ve never had haggis or lutefisk and the descriptions are delightfully vile. Will try them, though. I like just about everything to some degree. The foods I would not miss if I never ate them again:
marshmallows
raisins
those coasters made out of rice crispies
SERIOUS QUESTION ABOUT LUTEFISK:
Does it at least have the bones removed???
TennHippie, you’ve gotta a way with words! I assume you’re referring to what the common man calls rice cakes. I’m not overly fond of them, but I don’t dislike them. Added bonus: you can eat quite a few of them if you’re on a diet, without major damage (assuming you can mentally block out texture and taste).
I thought I was the only sane person alive who didn’t like beer: I found out I had soulmates in orangecakes and Drain Bead.
I’m quite open-minded, culinarily-wise. One thing I’ve never gotten used to, however, is raw oysters (any raw mollusc or bivalve, for that matter).
Well not quite. Depends on which type you want. The winter type, as my brothers girlfriend calls it IS fermented (but not always in the ground, a neighbor up the street would just store it in a large glass jar in their garage).
The summer type is chinese cabbage (or even turnip or daikon radish), covered with salt water for a night. It’s then mixed with green onion, garlic, ginger, red-pepper (or even very fine threads of carrot)and put into a jar. That type actually tastes bad once it starts turning sour (you see bubbles forming). For the summer type, fish sauce is optional.
Hahaha, not the kim chee I have had. I think Tabasco and jalapenos are hotter. The kim chee I have had is not even very hot and is quite pleasant (it makes my nose run but it’s not so hot I won’t eat it). Every Korean market I have purchased it from here in my little town makes it at the same level of hotness.
Mjollner - No bones in Lutefisk. That would make it truly inedible. My memory of it,which I’ve tried to forget, is of fish-flavoured Jello.
Ham and Lima Beans, as provided by our Uncle. Tho there was a fellow in our squad who could make them edible. He’d never reveal what he did, but I do know that celery salt played a part. I swear, the old style steel pot helmet was the most useful item ever issued!

I don’t like beer either, so add me to the list. I also agree with sauerkraut and liver…and this one type of meat my mom kept trying to sneak past us that was so tough and slimey it was inedible; I want to say “cube steak” but that might be an actual good piece of meat. Anyway, this was like trying to eat pure gristle and my brother and I used to sit across the table from each other with tears in our eyes as we tried to gag it down.
I will see your Hostess Sno-balls and raise you a big bag of Circus Peanuts!
Oh, and if anyone eats Corn-Nuts within a mile radius of me I want to throw up. Those things smell like dirty feet – BLECH!
Sure you could eat as many of those puffed-rice styrofoam discs as you wanted to, but why would you want to?
When you are chewing on one, doesn’t your mouth kinda say to you: “Uh…why are we doing this?”
No, they are not horrible. Neither is cardboard. But there’s not much motivation for consuming either substance.
Does anyone remember Veg-All? Every crappy vegetable you ever hated acanned up in one place. And some kind of awful sharp flavoring to make it even worse. When I was a kid my mother made me eat it. Years later, she admitted to me she hated too. Even now I shudder when I see it at the market.
