Veb beat me to one of my choices.
NEXT!
:eek:
For those that like to hunt, imagine a 5 day hunting trip to the western slopes of the Washington Cascade Mountains. A chef has been brought in to supply the meals. It is early afternoon of the first day and everyone has just finished a lunch of fresh ground buffalo burgers, pan fried chive potatoes and hard ice cream milk shakes. Some of the guys are scouting out some nearby areas. Others are getting their gear ready for an early start the next morning. My cousin wanders across the road looking for a place to take a leak and stumbles across a young spike 100 feet from camp. Crack… First person in camp to get a deer and he wins the $700 put up for getting a deer first. But I digress. The deer is immediatly brought back to camp and hung by it’s back legs from a tree branch. My cousin cuts open the deer, removes the heart…
and took a big bite of it. A couple others tried some. He called fresh kill deer heart a delicacy. I almost got sick. It happened a couple more times in the next few days.
And kimchi. I had a neighbor that made it. I thought someone built a sewage treatment plant next door every time she made it.
Lots of horrible “cheese” products have been mentioned already. But the most noxious, in my book, is that stuff that comes in an aeresol can. Bleh!
And I know I’m probably going to catch hell for this one, but I can’t stand cheesecake. It tastes bland and the texture is just… wrong somehow.
Oddly enough, every item listed in this thread that is Fat Free…I love…indeed I would starve to death if your wishes were granted. ha
but to the point…
Any meat that is in a can.
I must say, I love most of the non-processed things that have been mentioned here. In fact, my specialty in the kitchen is sauteed onions and mushrooms cooked with kimchee and served over rice.
My candidate for non-food? Nankotsu. Literally translates as ‘soft bones’. I was at a barbecue restaurant with a then-girlfriend when the chef set down a plate with about a dozen of those little white cartillage pieces from the ends of chicken bones, all skewered on a stick. She was happily muching away on them, so I decided to give it a try. Nope, it was like chewing on a grilled eraser. It wasn’t just a matter of not liking the flavor, I couldn’t wrap my head around rational people thinking this was something edible.
Btw, OpalCat and cowgirl: when you say “American cheese” do you mean the pale yellow cheese you get at the deli counter, or the orange processed stuff that comes individually-wrapped? The latter, I understand, but I think the mild flavor of the former makes it quite nice for sandwiches. Not that it’s a big deal. Just more for me.
Gee, fish is also used to feed livestock. Fish must be a vegetable. Well waddayno.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned boiled okra, the self-swallowing vegetable. There’s a reason it’s typically hidden in highly spiced gumbo.
Pickled okras are OK, mind you, the process somehow removes the slime and the okra seeds have a nice firm texture.
Fried okra has a weird taste that I don’t like. But that could just be me. Boiled okra, that’s humanity crying out in horror at what is on its tongue.
Mushrooms. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Funny how mushroom fanatics lose interest when I call them “fungus” all the way through the conversation.
Oh, and American Coca-Cola is rank. I’m not that much of a fan of carbonated beverages, but damn if the Canadian version of the All-American Beverage doesn’t beat the pants off the home-grown variety.
Apologies.
I was actually referring the my dislike for eating pumpkin pie (which I inaccurately referred to as a vegetable (although I wouldn’t eat it like I would eat a fruit pie)).
For the record I wouldn’t eat a fish pie either even though it’s not a vegetable, and likely not a fruit.
Nor would I look at a fish and pumpkin pie either.
Probably the artificial cheeze-food-like product.
However to forstall the inevitable debate about whether “real” American Cheese exists, I’m posting this 
Fenris
When I was living in the US, I ordered some 5-year matured cheddar from Sugarbush Farm. Best cheddar I’ve ever had. Makes up for all the flavorless stuff in the supermarkets.
Just kidding, Caught@Work. I guessed that was what you really meant.
Fish pie can be pretty good. But, hey, not every one is going to agree. That’s what this thread is all about.
Naw. Cut through the chase and call them what they really are: disgusting piles of goo in garlic butter.
Next on the agenda, more pond food: frog legs. I’ll stick with chicken, thank you very much.
C’mon people; this thread was supposed to be about things that have been processed beyond all recognition or are otherwise unfit to be called ‘food’:
Aerosol cheese - yes
'EEEEeeew, bread! how can you eat bread?1?" - no.
Pit me. I’m convinced Vegemite was created as an instrument of torture.
My proof? Everybody who eats it ends up talking funny. 
Actually, didn’t Marmite/Vegemite arise as the result of a waste disposal problem in the brewing industry? (or am I repeating an Urban Myth?)
Not authoritative, but I’ve never heard any different.
Would canned asparagus count? My own mother used to serve that stuff. I’ve forgiven her for that, but it wasn’t easy. I mean, the asparagus had pretty much the same consistency as the water it was in. I would call that over-processed.
And what about those flavored instant coffee mixes that don’t taste quite like … anything?
Which reminds me …
Sanka.
Ack! Ptui! Aargh!
