...disgusting!

I didn't know they made them, but they do, and GROSS!

It's absolutely shocking that Burger King doesn't make them up to their usual gourmet standards.

They're just trying to get Jack in the Box customers (just like when they added tacos a few years back).

I haven't had BK's cheese sticks, but Jack's are decent as long as you remember that it is fast food.

I don't know what you mean. I thought that the sprig of parsley made a nice touch amid the candlelight atmosphere.

Mentioned Jack in the Box tacos

Jack in the Box tacos are among the worst things I've ever eaten. Whatever is in them, it isn't ground beef. It's some kind of meat paste that could be made of anything. Could be soylent green for all I can tell.

I haven't tried BK mozzarella sticks, but that's just out of common sense.

I used to work there. It's 100% soy protein (i.e. really crappy tofu) flavored with what was labeled on the box as "meat juice."

Reminds me of when a friend of mine went to Taco Bell and they had a sign up that he thought said "Now made with Spider Beef". He was wondering how many spiders it took to make a taco.

(It actually said "spicier" but the 'c' and 'i' kind of merged to look like a 'd'.)

Never had it, but I'll try anything that's made of people.

I actually did a stink working at a Taco Bell. The ingredients were remarkably recognizable. Frozen, of course, but recognizable.

Some people were distraught to learn that the refried beans are shipped dehydrated and have to be reconstituted, but lots of food is made that way. All the same, the "bean flakes" don't look particularly appetizing in their unfinished state.

I was actually working at both Jack and Taco Bell at the same time. Their ground beef is another one of those 100% Soy Protein with "meat juice" things.


So, what's the worst thing anybody ate?

That may have changed. At least when I worked there, it was actual beef. A quick check of their ingredients list indicates that is still the case. The Jack in the Box ingredients list for their beef, however, is about a mile long. Scary.

Are you limiting us to things that qualify as "food"?

I'm just going off what was on the side of the box when I was there.

It ate my post!

Saguaro (sp?) cactus that my botanist friend SWORE was hallucinogenic. Most acrid thing I've ever downed.

Turned out it wasn't grown in soil with the right minerals to create the specific colloids to be hallucinogenic. They're supposed to be though, based on a hallucinogen book I've read, so I don't blame him. But still, that stuff was NASTY.

Kimchee (sp?). There was a Korean restaurant near the game store I used to play at often and they offered it. I was told that it was "good" kimchee. To be fair, I gave it a number chances but it didn't improve.

The Exchange

Same line of thinking as the other druggy above me but....
The bottom of a cup of tea that was brewed using mushrooms of a trippy nature....very hard to get down but really worth it in the long run. That was an awesome 6 hour band practice and after party.

It was at a kibbutz in Israel where they had separate kosher kitchens. During the dairy meal they would sometimes serve this... je ne sais quois. It consisted of eggs over easy swimming in some kind of marinara-looking sauce, I think perhaps with some sort of seafood in it since they could serve seafood with the dairy meal but not poultry or beef. I tried it once and dear God it was horrible. My eyes are watering at the very memory of it. I always called it the evil eye because it looked like a casserole dish full of bloodshot yellow-pupilled eyeballs. It could probably be weaponized.

I had to eat the same thing in Iraq at a Muktar's house. Smiling and declaiming its deliciousness was not easy.

I got chocolate covered shrooms that I ate with ice cream once.

Still didn't make it any easier to down though.

My band just broke up a few weeks ago (I got sick of the drummer skipping practice to go to the bar, and canceling shows the day OF because he didn't think to tell his boss he needed the day off). Never got to mix hallucinogens and music, though once I get familiar and comfortable with my next band (whenever that might form), then I'm definitely taking that plunge. My old guitarist and I used to plot to do E during one of our performances, but never got around to it.

Lady bugs taste pretty bad. They must secrete something, cause... yeah they're just awful. I've eaten a maggot once too but it was in my Ramen Noodles, so it just taste like chicken mushroom flavor. :-P

I LOVE kimchee! Korean is my 2nd favorite world cuisine, in fact.

Lemme see... cow foot is pretty nasty (like eating fatty rubber), as is duck foot (like eating cartilege). Crickets for lunch aren't all that appetizing (the crunching of the shells is distasteful). But those are minor; I'd eat them again. the nastiest thing I've ever eaten is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on Wonder bread -- to this day I won't eat any of those ingredients individually, much less together.

Peanut butter? Jelly? Really? I can understand the hate for wonder bread, but Peanut butter? Lemme guess, JIF or something like it, some over commercialized, sugar added, no need to mix cause the oils don't seperate, crappy peanut butter. Because honestly, I can not fathom anyone actually disliking actual peanut butter (or well made jam for that matter).

Or, some would argue, even in their finished state.

My mother used to make strawberry jam at home. I had that and peanut butter on whitebread every school day lunch for about nine years straight.

Replace the whitebread with some kind of whole grain bread and I'd love it, though I don't know about STRAIGHT. I'd like maybe something different once a week or so.

White bread and Wonder bread are not the same thing. I'm with Kirth on that one. Wonder bread made just about anything disgusting. (My parents never bought it so I was able to avoid it for the most part.)

Being from Alaska, I had never actually seen or tasted Wonder Bread until I joined the Army. Blech! Sourdough is what I was brought up on and it's my favorite to this day.

Kimchee is good - as is a lot of Korean food. Mind you, I had to get used to it or go insane/hungry while I lived there. My wife hates spicy food and sea food, so I don't know what she was thinking agreeing to come with me, though! ;p

The grossest thing (also in Korea) has to be these little silk-worm grubs all the kids ate. They smelled like rotting-flesh and I'm sure they cried out a little as the greedy sprogs stabbed them with their eager cocktail sticks.... They made me wretch for hours. Worst. Food. Ever. /Comic-book Guy Voice.

My personal name for "Burger King" is "Booger Thing."

That sums up my opinion of them since the day when eating one of their hamburgers reduced my mother to 17 hours of frequent vomiting and less mentionable side effects ....

I stand corrected then. I always thought it was just a brand of bread that we didn't see much of in northeastern Lower Michigan.


Cafe Nero (british version of Starbucks, only £1 cheeper for a large non-fat mocca with an extra shot, no cream, served flat - who says i order GAY coffee?) Does a "Whote Chocolate Mocca"

i had one once, and took one sip, to say (louder than intended)

"that's what evil tastes like"

i was, possibly, the most unpleasant thing i'd ever drunk. picture the vomit of a diabetic, who threw up after eating coffee-and-vanilla ice-cream. to have the resulting barf re-heated and served in a cup

Deep fried drow sounds pretty good right about now. Then again, I'm hungry enough just about anything sounds good.
