In terms of just general nastiness, I present Snickers Salad

It's a heady blend of chopped up Snickers, granny Smith apples, marshmallows, and most importantly, lots of Cool Whip™️

I like most of those things separately, but together it's like chewing on a damp bowl of sugar

What the fuck why would you post this

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They asked for the worst food

I got served so many things called salad back in the day

Pretzel salad is alright

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What in the 1960s is that, it looks like one of those horrific "recipes" that's just an excuse to mash 3-5 processed food products together. It looks like it should be suspended in jello

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a Midwestern salad in the vein of Ambrosia salad

Just mushing up everything sweet and serving it to friends and family

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That looks disgusting, what the hell is wrong with people

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

shrug-outta-hecks Learning how to cook from the Cool Whip™️recipe book is a hell of drug

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Tangentially related but it just reminds me of a cookbook that my friend's brother had, called something like A Man's Can Plan, that consisted solely of recipes that involved opening 1-3 cans and following the directions. I can't remember if it was literally a branded cookbook or if someone figured men needed a recipe to tell them to read the side of a can.

[–] hypercracker@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

most midwestern casseroles

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What, you don't like tater tots and ground beef mixed with cream of mushroom soup?

ketchup is gross esp in the states, basically flat tomato soda complete with HFCS

[–] roux@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

You can pry my tomato frosting out of my cold dead hands lol

[–] Beluga@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The only condom ent I like is BBQ ketchup is overrated disgusting

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I feel this a lot, fuck most condiments but mostly fuck ketchup

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

It's a cheap easy answer but fast food slop. Just a bunch of sugar, salt, and grease moulded together in a grotesque parody of food that tricks your brain into thinking you like it. It's one even slightly redeeming feature was it's low cost, and it doesn't even have that anymore

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I have never tried it but jellied eels look absolutely nasty

[–] egg1918@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

One time I ordered beef tartare without knowing what it was. Why the fuck people like that I have no idea, genuinely the worst thing I have ever tried

[–] Beluga@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please tell me what it tasted like

[–] ihaveibs@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

It's honestly pretty mild. I've only ever had good tartare though, so idk what it would be like with low quality ingredients. Hard to describe. My best description would be imagine eating sashimi but it's beef lol but it's a pretty light flavor.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

The wisconsin specialty: the cannibal sandwich

literally just a raw ground beef sandwich with onion salt and pepper. Nothing else

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like those, but there's worse cooked food.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

yeah honestly its just the pure carnism of it all, plus the fact that in the modern day with grocery store ground beef that's sat around for god knows how long its a great way to get food poisoning lol. I guess it's just redneck tartare on a sandwich but like... no. please no

I just have to spread the word of this barbarity when given the chance

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Most people that still carry on that tradition have the sense to get freshly ground or go to the higher-class butcher shops, but I can't speak for the conditions the cow was in before that.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Cabbage that has been cooked even very slightly is one of the foulest things I've ever encountered. The stench spreads and lingers horribly if it's heated even briefly, and more than the lightest exposure to heat gives it a sickening aftertaste.

Raw cabbage is ok if not great, and pickled it's actually quite good especially if it's pickled with garlic, onions, and hot peppers, it's just heat that does something horrible to it.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

If I recall, heating cabbage causes the formation of sulfur

This is especially true when it's boiled

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The hate in here on cabbage and pickled herring. This feels like anti-Polish sentiment!

Pickled fish, omg.

Back in my day in my country where the fashy values were never too far from the surface, the idea of education included the fun times of having to eat or at least taste everything on offer at school lunch.

My elementary school did pickled fucking herring, the kind where the fish is all red and slimy. And we all had to eat one fillet or throw up trying. They lined us up and watched that we all take one piece and eat it. It scarred me for life.

Some people apparently love that stuff, with new potatoes or whatever. I personally won't be in the same room with an open jar of that nastiness.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I like having pickled herring on rye bread once in a while (and wash it down with beer and aquavit) but I can understand why people wouldn't like it. It is a very particular taste.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love pickled herring lol, its literally just pickled fish, so idk why people hate it so much unless they don't like fish or pickles

the tough one is lutefisk, (or surstromming)

I'm a bit of a garbage can, but pimento loaf and that cheap-grade deli meat that was sliced and packaged so long ago it has that kinda wet slickness to it makes me lose my appetite, no matter how much it's churches up with condiments and whatever.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

slimy deli meat does get me too. I'll eat processed slop, whatever, bologna doesn't bother me, but when its slimy it's just like "fuck this, this is rotten or on the verge of it"

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Raw cucumber, it's the "soap cilantro" gene but all the time.

Infinitely inferior to cooked or pickled.

[–] Ath3ro@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have you had pico de gallo or ceviche? I’m don’t like plain raw cucumbers but i’ll throw some lime and salt on them and eat them that way
