It’s a toss-up between durian and the fermented raw-fish dish pla ra.
-
Steamed silkworm. I can’t take oysters unless it’s covered with cocktail sauce or something to kill the taste of seawater.
-
Cigarette butts in orange passion juice.

Something I love that other people hate: balut. I really have no idea why this regularly makes “most disgusting foods” lists, it tastes like chicken soup, chicken, and duck egg rolled into one.
I’ll second sea urchin. Ugh.
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten anything that wasn’t intended to be food…that I know of.
I had some low quality maple syrup once that I swear tasted like turpentine or kerosene smell. For years I thought all maple syrup must be horrible until I tried some good maple syrup and found out otherwise.
Oh! I thought of something I ate that wasn’t meant to be consumed. We bought pancake mix that must have sat in a warehouse next to the laundry supplies, something like dryer sheets had permeated the bag and our pancakes tasted flowery and soapy. Naaaaasty.
Silkworm, sea urchin, grilled spleen. All of those have a texture that I loathe.
I love capers, oysters, and many other foods mentioned on this list.
I never ate anything that wasn’t meant to be eaten. When I was 5, my 2-year old brother drank javex that was stored in a soda bottle at one of my mother’s friends’ house. That made me extra careful from that moment on.
Let’s hope that those words don’t jinx me…
Really? You have no idea why a cooked fertilized duck egg with a mostly developed embryo inside that you eat whole would be considered “disgusting” by the average person? Really? This looks appetizing?
Not that I wouldn’t try it, given the chance, but, yeah, it has all the hallmarks of a food that would be considered disgusting by pretty much anyone.
I had the same wasabi experience. A small dollop was on top of my dish and I had no idea what it was. Plopped it in my mouth and it literally took my breath away.
Oh honey, I have plenty of relatives still living in the mother land. Give 'em a call and they’ll hook you with with some nasty ass fish.
I whole-heartedly agree with the people who have mentioned the hundred year old eggs, the stinky tofu, and the chicken feet. But no one has yet mentioned that disgusting bug larvae that people in Asia enjoy eating. God, that is gross…sometimes they eat it while it’s still moving! My stomach turns every time I see it, but mrs.kidneyfailure eats 'em like potato chips. Blech.
That picture looks exactly like a Madball!
Haggis.
Limburger cheese.
Wheatgrass juice. Opaque, deep green and tasted like grass. From a lawn. And it was warm. That’s the last time I try to quench my thirst at a Whole Foods juice bar.
My mum used to force me to chew on raw wheatgrass. I was then able to comprehend how being a cow feels like.
Which part of the question does oral sex belong in?
Depends if you wash it or not.
(A.k.a. “Thrills gum” flavour.) 
My wife once bought a turtle and boiled the hell out of it, thinking she’d make turtle soup. Our house smelled like the reptile house at the zoo. I didn’t taste it, though.
1.) Food- Natto. I’m pretty open to trying new things and liking most so far, but that stuff was rank.
2.) Non-food- Moth balls.
I have to wonder about those of you who accidentally drank from a can or bottle that had been used as an ashtray or spittoon. Is it customary to drink from any open container that happens to be lying around?
Speaking personally, my can was on a table with another can of the same brand beer. And I was a bit drunk so didn’t notice the temperature difference until it was too late.
OK, I can see that.
Parties can be sometimes messy…
