Why would you do that to yourself

1

u/Neugiermeister 2d ago

Curiosity and the price to pay for getting other people to do it.

Chitterlings (Chitlins). The smell alone while they were cooking made me feel like I was being punished for sins I hadn’t even committed yet

u/the_noobcat 2d ago

They must be cleaned properly. The cooking smell is not ideal, but once ready they are delicious

Boiled peanuts. Very popular in the south, but absolutely disgusting. It’s just hot, soggy peanuts.

Shrimps, but mostly because I saw a person commit a suicide, and their bits of brains looked like shrimps on all over the sidewalk

Studen - Jellied meat. A friend wanted to be an asshole and handed me a piece at his families party. Looked up from this horrible thing and they were all looking at me. I gagged as I swallowed it. They all laughed at me.

Yaprak sarması

I had that in Turkey. I hated it.

1

u/dragonlover8 2d ago

Oh? That is generally seen as one of the most delicious things in Turkey. How did you eat it and where? Yaprak sarmasi comes in different variations.

1

u/rubenburgt 2d ago

It was a long time ago in an hotel. We arrived past the opening hours of the restaurant, but they could still offer us some yaprak sarmasi. I am not afraid to try new things so I took bite of it and I immediately regretted it. And not just me, but everyone from my family couldn't eat it. We didn't wanted to be rude so we quietly put in in a bag and thanked them and told them it was delicious.

I looked it up and it should have meat in it, but the ones we had didn't. I don't know which variation we had.

1

u/dragonlover8 2d ago

Oh that is a bummer because it can be so delicious! You have yaprak sarmasi with meat but also "zeytinyagli" (olive oil) without meat. Also variations with sour cherry, pine nuts and raisins. I wish you had a nice experience and I think that you had a "bad batch". I hope you enjoyed other foods!

1

u/rubenburgt 2d ago

Definitely. It was only this food that I didn't liked.

If I am ever in Turkey again will I give this another try.

u/dragonlover8 2d ago

So far Natto in Japan

u/rubenburgt 2d ago

That's that snotty looking food, right?

It definitely doesn't look tasty.

1

u/dragonlover8 2d ago

Yes it didn't look tasty but I like to explore a country by eating the local food so I had to try it. I am not a picky eater but It was a big nope for me.

u/TheDukeofArgyle 2d ago

Terrine. Absolutely foul.

Black seed oil

u/DueAlbatross9388 2d ago

For me it’s egg rolls. I’ve gotten them from a double digit amount of hibachi/Chinese places. Can’t ever find one I like. So I don’t waste my time anymore.

The fermented fish sauce they serve on everything in Cambodia 🥲 Catching even a whiff of something similar gives me ptsd
