I once ate a rotten raisin. It was the craziest kind of disgusting I have ever experienced. I have eaten frozen grease that I thought was ice cream, a cup of egg yolks that I mistook for orange juice and a glass of juice that was half full of dishwashing liquid. So it's safe to say I'm no stranger to the nasty. But nothing and I mean NOTHING compares to a rotten raisin. It was so bad I was wiping my toungue on my shirt and trying not to cry. I was eating these raisins while driving my kids to school and I had no drink with me. I actually swerved, narrowly missing an oncoming car. Sarah says she believes it was a bug rather than a raisin and she may be right. Whatever I ate didn't even have the consistency of a raisin! It was grainy and gritty. This is what makes me believe I could be on Fear Factor. I feel nothing they could make me eat could be as foul as a rotten raisin!
What's the worst thing you have ever eaten/drank?

I got nothin'. Just wanted to tell you how hard I'm laughing. You SHOULD go on Fear Factor.
For the last time that was NOT a raisin. How could a raisin be rotten? Its a dried grape!
Are you kidding? Your post made me gag. Please don't take offense at that but really, I was almost dry heaving.
The grossest thing I have ever eaten was raw cow tongue when I was in Korea backpacking with Jed. It tasted like I was swallowing a really bad case of a bloody nose.
OK, I just threw up a little in my mouth. Thanks so much Liz! The worst thing I have eaten (it's a combo): was chewing jucyfruit gum and ate a cracker which made the gum dissolve - I have not had gum since - I was eight years old.
i think melanie wins! hands down!
the grossest thing i ever ate was.....a left over stew my dad made years ago. it probably contained things that were made years ago too. ask my sister, we don't know what the (*&% he was thinking. he wanted to get rid of all the left overs in the fridge because my mom CANNOT throw ANY food away. i'm tellin' ya: cream of wheat, real left over stew, tortillas, something posing as meat...you name it, it was in there.
That is just gross, Liz!
I am extraordinarily picky about the regular food I eat. I definitely make it a point to not eat disgusting things! I could never do Fear Factor.
I am not picky at all and I have eaten all sorts of things (though Liz I think you win the award for mistakingly eating nasty stuff), even a cricket once which in all honesty wasn't so bad. the grossest thing I've ever had was a wheat grass shot from jamba juice. It actually tastes like lawn. It was horrid. I believe you when you say it was a rotten raisin because the plant based stuff can be the grossest.
It was either the cow tongue or the cow intestine, or the "cow foot soup", or the... But I think it was the cow tongue. I couldn't eat any of it. I tried a taste... disgusting, next forkful I pulled up the huge vein from the middle of the tongue, and that was it!
Gary
I believe Melanie and Gary tie for first place. Both made me dry heave and almost rethink the chocolate shake that I am about to scarf. Gotta go eat!
Ewww.... grosseola bigtime. You poor thing.. accidentally eating those things. I can't come up with anything really. My sister used to mix up nasty things from the kitchen and get me to taste them (sisterly love, eh?) when we were little, but nothing that can top what you've tried. I can't even watch Fear Factor, but if you were to go on there, I'd make an exception!
So that was gross. I am so glad I had already finished eating before I read your post, because ew.
The grossest thing I've ever eaten was a Durian. It's a fruit from somewhere in Asia. (Maybe Malaysia?) Anyway, it's so gross. My home teacher in college served his mission there and made us try one.
The fruit is spikey and weird looking, then you open it and suddenly the entire apartment smells like sulpher. I kid you not, sulpher. I tried a bite under duress and wanted to gag. It was slimey and squishy and slick and NASTY.
Just, ew. We had to open all the windows to air out the apartment.
i can't say that i ate it, but when we were in california, kris and i befriended this old woman from armenia because she could speak russian and kris served his mission in russia...anyway, she had us over all the time because she loved to cook the authentic stuff, most of which kris appreciated. i reiterate "most" because there's this stuff pronounced "holo-dee-itz" (with a slightly--and appropriate--throwing-up sound at the beginning of the "h"). it's all the leftovers from who knows what animal that has been boiled til all the fat and whatever else nasty melts away. then they let it rise to the top, skim it off and freeze it. then you get it out after a fine meal and eat it just like that, with a spoon. i had to excuse myself to the bathroom to avoid just watching kris eat it!
My story is not something I ate, but something a friend drank. I love hot chocolate. I mean, I really love hot chocolate. So one time I had a hankerin' for some my freshman year at BYU. Across the street from Helaman Halls is a Chevron station with, luckily, a hot chocolate machine. I went with my friend to get some. So we're both drinking our hot chocolate, and he says, "Yum, a chunk of hot chocolate mix! I love the powder chucks!" He bit into it and it wasn't a delicious powdery chunk of hot chocolate mix, but a FLY! While mine did not have a fly, I figure it was brewed and/or dispensed with the fly so we threw away our hot chocolate never to frequent the Chevron for hot beverages again.
I had a similar fly experience. I had an open soda can sitting on the counter. I picked it up and drank almost the whole thing. Then I felt something wierd in my mouth. I pulled it out and it was a fly that had been in there the whole time. I was so disgusted!
All these comments have made me sick. I don't ever want to eat again. BARF!
Haha, that was funny! I think I've had a rotten raisin before too... I don't think it was as rotten as yours though, because I don't remember it being THAT gross! Haha... good story :)
I've heard about the Durian fruit, and from its reputation, I think that wins as the most disgusting thing to eat...
Gary
How can you say that, Gary?! Tongue vein?? Melanie and Gary win. Tongue should not be eaten (outside of a makeout session. Eww!)
I haven't eaten anything inordinately gross. I think the worst thing I've tasted is near beer.
That guy on Bizzare foods will eat everything but Durian fruit. He eats fermented testicles and pigs cooked in blood but he refuses to eat durian fruit. That stuff has got to be awful.
