I accidentally added salt to my ice cream instead of sugar when I was a kid (don't ask why I was putting sugar on ice cream). My mum made me finish it anyway, the taste still haunts me, it was a serious amount of salt.

I don't see how anyone thinks this tastes good. I heard that it's meant to neutralize bacteria or some shit, but I've never gotten sick from eating raw or cooked seafood. I've gotten sick a lot more from eating food that was supposedly cooked like deli meat and fried ground beef.

There was one time whe I made pizza

Basically I spreaded the dough too much (it was like 2mm thick) and put too much olive oil. The result: You know the taste of the crust of the bread. That was how the dough felt like, with too much olive oil. The toppings were good so I ate anyway

As for the the most disgusting meal I ever had, it was a few years ago when my family and I went to visit a turistic village. We stopped at aa local restaurant and I ordered a steak.

They brought a fucking raw steak (I asked for medium-rare), swimming in cooking oil, topped with a flimsy slice of ham and that cheap cheese you can find ina superarket with french fries soakig in oil on the side.

That was not good for my health

I thought It would be a good Idea once as a kid to put lemon juice in milk, One's a base, ones an acid. The milk instantly curdled, I mixed it up and drank it.

One time I got horribly ill on a package of old noodles hat was slightly open in my cabinet. They smelled a little weird but I just said "fuck it" and made them anyways. I will never forget the taste and and texture that filled my mouth. Imagine a sickly sweet mass of soy sauce flavored glue in your mouth. Getting ill just thinking about it. Obviously there was something very wrong with it so I threw it out but that bite was all it took. I was fine till later when I suddenly got extremely dizzy and had a massive headache. The next day I ate something and noticed I was unusually bloated and full after just a little bit. Throughout the day I just started getting more and more bloated to the point where it was hard for me to even move or breathe. It looked like I was pregnant or something, I was about to go to the hospital because it was just that bad but I decided to tough it out for the night. The next morning I was able to shit and what came out the most rotten thing I think I have ever shit in my life. whole partially digested noodles were coming out my ass no joke and it smelled like death. I never will touch those noodles again sealed or not, I have no clue what happened but I think I just found the one thing I'm allergic to.

It wasn't me, but my old school cafeteria sold soft (supposedly, but they never were) pretzels.
They were LOADED with salt.

One day, we all rubbed the salt off our pretzels, collected it, and gave it to the dumbest kid at our table (nice kid, just dumb).
He ate all of it.

>bad cafeteria tastes
When I was in 4th grade, I got chicken nuggets and a roll. The rolls were slightly sweet and that particular time, I decided to get butter. The butter came in little cups. I tried to spread the butter in my roll and wasn't sure how much to use, so I put all the butter from the little cup. I almost gagged. The butter was so cold and it was the plain, unsalty kind. I wasn't prepared for that taste.

But the worst experience is still:
>my mom is eating cereal
>Special K or something, with dried bananas in it
>I try a dried banana slice
>almost puke on the kitchen floor

I thought of another one also:
>go to drink milk (out of carton lel)
>open fridge
>see we are almost out of regular milk, but we still have my mom's not-real-milk almond milk
>am wary of it, check expiration date
>expires in a few months, so it should be fine
>smell it, it's fine
>take swig out of carton
>thick, phlegmy substance gushes into my mouth
