What is the nastiest food you've ever eaten?
- Fermented shark. The taste itself was enough to make my stomach quiver, but worse were the flavor burps that lasted for two days that no amount of toothpaste/mouthwash could destroy.

- Step mom packed me a tuna sandwich for lunch. She purposely had let the tuna go bad before feeding it to me. (She wasn't a good person) I took a bite of moldy tuna and stale bread in the middle of lunch in elementary school and threw up right after.

- Once I went to a diner and ate a mediocre lunch I don't much remember.
Then I ordered a piece of banana cream pie.
Thankfully, my odd tendency to eat pie from the back forward saved me from eating an entire slice of banana cream pie that was moldy... what I had thought was green sanding sugar was NOT.
After a single bite, I spit it out and flagged the waitress.
Me: "Sorry, this pie is moldy."
Waitress: "uh... oh.. okay, I'll get you another slice." *quickly zips away with the moldy slice as I'm saying "but wait..."
She comes back quickly and gives me another slice.
This slice also has 'green sanding sugar.'
Waitress has already turned and left to get our check now, comes back and sets it down.
Me: "um... did you take this slice from the same pie?"
Waitress: "....."
Me: "I can tell you did, because this slice is -also- moldy. Can we see the manager please?"
Free moldy pie and mediocre lunch was had that day.

- Apple pie with a cockroach in it. You know what's worse than finding a roach in your food? Finding half of one.

- My mom's first attempt at eggplant Parmesan was deplorable and irredeemable

- My great aunt is a pretty good cook, and she makes a bomb turkey casserole. We were visiting her one times and she serves up her signature casserole, I take a bite, and I feel something hard wedge between my back teeth.
Struggling to pry it out without being rude, I finally wiggle it free... It's a nail clipping. Probably a toenail too, because that thing was thick.

- Anything served by Aramark in Ohio prisons. Fuck those people.

- I tried lambs brains in Morocco. The taste wasn’t too bad as it didn’t really have one but the texture... making me gag just thinking about it again.

- Spaghettio flavored ice cream

- Japanese [Nattō.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natt%C5%8D). It tastes like Elmer's Glue and shitty lentils.

- Swedish army food. These bags of freeze-dried stuff, you pour hot water in 'em and stir. Some of them were actually pretty tasty, like the chicken stew. Usually, they tasted like old dog food, and that's when the water was warm. Once, mine had frozen and there was no time to boil more water. So, imagine eating 0 degrees C old dog food. That's the only time I have not finished a meal despite being borderline starving.
Since the bags were yellow, the "official" nickname was yellowbags. We called it Yellowbag Piss.

- Stopped at a little roadside joint on US 64, about 30 minutes or so east of Asheboro, NC. I figured I'd get a barbecue sandwich because I'm a barbecue fan, and even if wasn't my preference (Eastern NC), it was still North Carolina barbecue - it *had* to be "okay" at it's worst.
I was wrong.
What was brought out to me looked like it came from a tin can, with small cubes of chopped ham mixed in. I don't think they attempted to warm it, as it was mildly gelatinous with globs of congealed fat holding the thing together. It was definitely pork, but was far from palatable.
Later I spent the next day feverish and under a blanket, alternating between shivering and shitting my guts out.
That restaurant is no longer open.
