One night my wife and I had dinner at a local Greek restaurant and their drink special that night was a Greek margarita. Basically a margarita made with ouzo instead of tequila. I thought I’d give it a try. It tasted a lot like Ny-Quil, only worse.
One crazy night in high school we ran out of strawberry mix for the daqueries. So we started using black raspberry jam, which was awesome. then we ran out of jam, and by then, the next logical thing seemed to be peanut butter.
Very strange indeed.
Bitter melon. Like chewing on a tobacco-sized plug of wet grass…huuuuuuuuuuurl
Coconut water. I know unsweetened coconut isn’t terribly sweet, but coconut water was almost salty. And the gelatinous goo that you scoop out of the coconut and eat was weird. Not awful, but definitely weird.
Oh, and capybara. That was an odd taste, but I think a lot of the strange taste was knowing what I was eating.
Ear wax
How about chocolate-flavored cheese? I ate one tiny piece of it and wanted to barf.
Steamrollers used to be a roll peppermint, packaged like Lifesavers. They started some variant flavours, like spearmint. So far, so good.
Then they experimented with peanut flavour. It was salty, cardboardy and bland all at the same time, and just plain odd. I think the not-quite-right peanut taste with a texture that suggested mints and sweets threw my expectations into freefall.
Why on earth they ever took that to market, I have no idea.
Milk and Orange Juice combined.
Save your money on buying Ipecac. Drink a medium sized glass of this potion and you will vomit it out right away. I dont’ know why. I just know that it does.
From the import grocery, I had some aloe drink, complete with bits of aloe pulp. I didn’t care for the pulpy bits, but the taste was not bad - a lot like fresh white grape juice.
I love mint chutney, and I agree it doesn’t taste much like mint. I have a container of freshly prepared chutney from the Indian market in my fridge right now.
The weirdest thing I ever tasted was a canned starfruit drink. It’s a hobby of mine to go to the Chinese market and buy random snacks and drinks in addition to my usual purchases. Sometimes these random foodstuffs are delicious. Sometimes…not so much. You’d think a starfruit drink would be fruity, but no. It tasted like the shoe section of a department store. Leathery, salty, foot-odory.
Black Walnut ice cream. Shudder.
Kimchi. Hurl.
As long as we’re discussing the delights of the Orient, stinky tofu isn’t all that weird, except for the part where you’re chewing it VERY quickly and trying to figure out why anyone would want to eat something that tastes exactly like what dog shit smells like.
Hey, keep that stuff away from our friend kidneyfailure, whatever you do!
Y’know, I have heard Chinese people rant on and on and on about how great that shit tastes, but I just cannot bring myself to eat it. It fucking stinks! Yes, I know…“stinky tofu” ought to stink, right? Well, whatever. It may be the best tasting thing on Earth, but I can’t get past the smell.
Heh 
Note to self: avoid starfruit if I ever do develop real kidney problems.
Dr. Brown’s Celery Soda…strange tasting, vile soft drink.
Available at finer lunch counters.
Musk is a medieval and middle eastern flavoring, lightly floraly and musky, I happen to like it [but then again I am one of those wierd americans who likes vegemite, promite and marmite =)]
I have aussie friends send me musk sticks and musk lifesavers [along with an annual packet of timtams =)]
But then again, I have done a fair amount of research in roman, medieval european and persian foods, and have aculturated myself to nontypically american flavor combinations. In my house, you are as likely to have isicia omentata, patina de piris, fabaciae virides et baianae and mustacei as bukkenade, makke and daryoles for dessert, as the full on turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans, parker house rolls and pumpkin pie. My favorite persian medieval dish is sikbaj which is a sweet/sour lamb dish. Great with a saffron pilaf, and a number of small side dishes.
[seafood meatballs in sauce, pear custard, beans and small cookies made of wine lees]
[a form of beef stew, refried beans, sort of and egg custard pies]
[self explanitory =) ]
Is that the paste left over from the wine making process? I tasted some once, and have longed to find it again for cooking. Never knew the name or anything, is that it? Reddish pulpy paste, sweet in a brown-sugar kind of way with a strong red-wine flavor?
And if so, knwo where I can buy some? 
Malort.
This crud is made in Chicago. From their own marketing:
To me (and many others) it tastes a helluva lot like bug spray and I promise that is not hyperbole. It really does.
Great stuff to use in a bet. Loser has to drink it.
There’s an ice cream shop in Seattle that had, on their specials board a chocolate ice cream with kumquats, olive oil & sea salt. I convinced a friend to buy it out of sick fascination and it was, indeed, exactly as bad as it sounds.
yup, only made my own … part of the wine making process =(
