Egregious Food

[Yo Mama]

You all know what I'm talking about; something, once tasted, that you wish you'd never considered making or ordering, and isn't even fit to feed to an animal.

I begin this thread so that we can all warn each other what to avoid. If someone had forewarned me about some things I've tried to eat in my life, it would have saved many dollars, and untold amounts of wasted food. Well, not that bad, really, but still. Why buy a crappy product and encourage the manufacturer?

When I want dumplings, I usually get gyoza, because they sell them at the Korean market up the street. Today, while at Lucky's, I saw some packages of fresh-made, just cook them yourself potstickers, in chicken or pork.

Well, potstickers are my favorite dumpling of all -- if they are done correctly. A bad potsticker is an abomination. I thought that since I'd had such good luck with the Korean-made gyoza I've been getting, perhaps fresh made potstickers would be just as good.

Mais non. It was not to be.

With great anticipation, I prepared the hot sesame oil, pan fried and then steamed the potstickers in their own juices. I eagerly put them in a bowl, grabbed my favorite chopsticks, and dug in.

They were abysmal. I don't know what was worse, the filling (which was just wrong in so many ways I can't even describe it) or the dough (which had a flavr I don't ever want to experience again).

I've had bad potstickers. There was one restaurant in Richmond that microwaved frozen ones, and up to today, those were the worst potstickers I'd ever had. There is now a new king of bad dumplings.

And it is these:

Avoid them, my brothers and sisters, for they are evil. Evil I say!

It would be a hard decision for me if I had to choose which dish I'd rather revisit if I had to choose one or the other: These horrid potstickers or okonomiyaki. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okonomiyaki)

Well I'm not sure of what brand it was (I can't read Kanji/katakana), but never ever drink pineapple soda with pulp.

I bought a can of it at Top Foods or whatever they call themselves now thinking it would be good since I've had pineapple soda before that was good and I like Japanese stuff so I figure together that would be really good, however after I took one tiny little sip I just about threw-up, which is more or less what ti tastes like albeit with a fruity tang.

Of the six really nasty items on the following link, here's one I've actually been subjected to.
Can't visit the Norwegian relatives around the holidaze without having this shit shoved in your face.





Lutefisk!

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee162/21b45o13x25c54o34d45e/art/lutefisk1.jpg
From:
Norway.

What the hell is it?

Lutefisk is a traditional Norwegian dish featuring cod that has been steeped for many
days in a solution of lye, until its flesh is caustic enough to dissolve silver cutlery.

Wait, it gets worse ...
For those of you who don't know, lye (potassium hydroxide/sodium hydroxide) is a
powerful industrial chemical used for cleaning drains, killing plants, de-budding cow
horns, powering batteries and manufacturing biodiesel. Contact with lye can cause
chemical burns, permanent scarring, blindness or total deliciousness, depending on
whether you pour it onto a herring or your own face. Or, so the lutefisk industry
would have us believe.

Danger of this turning up in America:
IT’S ALREADY HERE! Shit!

It’s true, lutefisk is more popular in the United States than in Norway. What the hell
are they doing with it? They’re not eating it are they? Is it because it’s a cheap
alternative to colonic irrigation? Seriously, how do you advertise this stuff?

TOP 6 TERRIFYING FOODS................... (http://muthamizhsarena.blogspot.com/2007/10/top-6-terrifying-foods.html)

[Foxtrot Oscar]

Freaking Hong Kong pizza hut and their strange concoctions!

Roasted rosemary chicken viva pizza - The wife and I had one slice each and binned the rest, my son the cocky bugger took one look at it and said, "I just want pasta, Daddy!"

Evil...

You Earthlings are so picky. I’ll eat anything that isn’t fast enough to get away, especially gray space aliens, who taste just like sea turtle soup. By the way, hominy is made the same way as lutefisk, (with lye) and I’ll bet you like hominy.

FO, Brit pizza is pretty fucking weird, too -- the one I had in Leicester just about killed me. Salsa for sauce, soggy crust, and tuna and corn as toppings.

Bleah.

These crazy Québécois and there poutine (putsin).
Fuck this shit is nasty.
My step kids love it.

Yummy french fries completely ruined by fresh cheese curds and very fucking greasy bbq chicken gravy. Though there are different variations, they are nasty. Yucky yucky yuck yuck. C'est la vie, no one forced me to fall in love with a French-Canadian.

But this shit tastes like ASS!~

[Oblivion]

vietnamese "pho' " beef noodle soup.

its great stuff if you tell them you JUST want fresh beef and nothing else, NO TRIPE!
the raw thin slices of meat cook in the soup almost instant and are delicious.


but if you dont say "no tripe" they add a bunch of truely disgusting crap.

the stomach is thinly sliced and looks like a sliced tickler condom.
taste is probably not much different even though ive never eaten a rubber, the stomach is all rubbery and chewy in texture and taste.

then theres the tripe (intestines) that are in the soup aswell. that shit is just plain nasty.
i know theres a lot of food on a cow, but you dont eat every fuckin bit of the cow!!!!


-----------------

and then theres this, i havent eaten one but the pictures i was sent as a joke are just so scary.

::We need a vomit smiley here::

[Oblivion]

imagine going on a bush trek, you get some long lasting food and work out how many meals you need, take just the right amount so you dont carry too much crap and weigh yourself down.

your in the store and think, FUCK YEAH! a cheeseburger in a can, ill treat myself.

then after almost a week of trekking through bush and canoeing down rivers your real hungry, miles from civilisation and decide YEAAAHHH ill treat myself to that cheeseburger.

you open it and realise you have a choice. eat that POS excuse for food, or go hungry on one day of your trek.


the store knows your gunna be many miles out in the wilderness by the time you realise you paid $3.95 for a bit of puke between two buns.

I think I would rather eat the wrong fucking berry/twig and then not be able to eat and then slowly die before I eat that sick ass looking thing.

Or:

I would hunt down Sean Penn and fry him up with some BACON!
