Dan @esgob-llandaf.bsky.social · 21/04/2026That looks like Brawn to me. It's lovely but you do get the occasional tooth or eyelash which is slightly off-putting. My suggestion is tripe. No amount of seasoning, vinegar, etc can disguise the fact that it smells, tastes and has the texture of POO. 120

Our jello salads were honed by generations of church pot lucks & DELICIOUS. 😋 I'm going to be controversial here & say GRITS. Seriously. It's like a bowl of hot sand. Buttered. 000
Hairless in Gaza @hairlessingaza.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Went back to Germany after many years thinking, there's nothing here I can't eat!... then I tried "Harzkäse mit Musik," a sour-milk cheese with a (sorta) vinegrette 100
Hairless in Gaza @hairlessingaza.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Anything that's essentially gelatin + [vegetables]. If You Dare: Somewhere out in the Inter-Ether is a recipe that Missus Limbaugh made for her little boy, Rush 000
Capucine @capucinep.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Quebec's "Oreilles de Crisse" is on my hate list. Deep-fried salted strips of pork fat, often served at sugar shacks. Cretons and Head Cheese are two others I detest with a passion. In general, anything with any organ meats, offal, liver, brains, etc. 100
Adam Trotter @astrotter.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Chitlins (chitterlings), braised pig intestines. The smell while cooking will clear the house. 0170
Alissa Rose @alissarose.bsky.social · 22/04/2026My spouse’s grandmother made tomato aspic with lemon jello. 000
Donna B @donnab.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Bacon. Smells awful, causes cancer and is made from the corpses of intelligent animals. 030
Mya Riemer @myariemer.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Germans are entirely too fond of putting raisins in baked goods. 380
OtakuNoCreepo 🎃🇺🇦🇵🇸 @wessoman.bsky.social · 21/04/2026As a Michigander, our worst food is Olive Burgers. I love green olives, and I love Burgers, but the only place where a Green Olive belongs on a burger is on a toothpick holding the buns together, and *NOT on the meat*. Then again, our neighbors in Ohio make the worst food in America: Skyline Chili. 030
Palaeo3D @palaeo3d.com · 22/04/2026Bah! Try this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saure_K...en.wikipedia.orgSaure Kutteln - Wikipedia 120
Tracey Hawthorne @kasteeltracey.bsky.social · 21/04/2026An Afrikaans speciality in South Africa is potato salad made with all the usual ingredients (potatoes, mayo, hard-boiled eggs, onion, etc) but then with condensed milk and raisins added. It's as horrible as it sounds. 1210
SisBoomBlah @andrewthemild.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Scrapple. Dump all the black pepper you want on it, you're not fooling anybody. 040
Hot Mulled Karen @sinisternails1.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Scrapple!! I’ll eat it occasionally but if I look at it too closely or think about it, I can’t continue 😅 same with Spam, I once looked at it and saw some sort of biological “tube” maybe a vein or aorta or some other sort of valve, idk but I was done 🤢 161
Imaginary Stories @imaginarystories.bsky.social · 21/04/2026White bread. It's not awful, it's just there. Is it filling? No. Is it nutritious? No. Is the texture pleasing? No again. Is it at least an attractive addition to the meal? Also no. But does it taste good?. Let me put it to you this way: No. 250
Cobwebs @shadowmanor.bsky.social · 21/04/2026If the cuisine is temporal as well as geographical, any of the godawful jello salads from the 1960s. 1251
mbrewer ↙↙↙ @smalladventures.net · 21/04/2026Head cheese, it's just whatever falls off a boiled pigs head left to solidify... basically an aspic but grosser. The image happens to have some added leak. My parents, having raised pigs, made it once but never again. 181031
YourDrunkAuntie @morewildones.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Checking in from North Carolina. My mother loved it but it’s gross. 5190
Jonatan Hildén @jhilden.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Finland has an endless variety of trad meat dishes that are absolute ass, like ”tilliliha”. Supposedly this can be well made but who knows, school kitchen mainstay. 7911
Lynn @canadabelle.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I don't like fried liver - specifically when it is thick and chunky. I can eat it if the breading ratio is high, the liver is thin, and the fried onions are well-caramelized. Chicken liver and gizzard are tough. Organ meat generally is a hard pass now that I'm an adult with my own money. 010
El Topo 🍁 @eltopo71.com · 21/04/2026"Here's this food I like, now let's imprison it in a gelatin coffin..." 010
Mndrew @mndrew.bsky.social · 21/04/2026There was an abomination that would befoul the entire house for days called "Pea wiggle". 100
Ms . Penny Oaken @skywitchy.bsky.social · 21/04/2026My mother, bless her, was taught to cook meat thoroughly to kill off bacteria and parasites. So beef became a grey, dry, tough plank; pork chops dry strips of shoe soles; or - into the pressure cooker, boiled to a uniform grey mush, never seared 5411
Kinako @seamusmcgee.bsky.social · 21/04/2026It's not a dish per se, but in St. Louis there's a processed cheese called Provel that is the standard pizza cheese on the local pizza style. Cold it makes a decent sandwich cheese; melted it's wallpaper paste. 000
Sarah O @erniebufflo.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Arkansas continues to have an annual political event (The Gillette Coon Supper) that is based around eating fried raccoon, a disgusting and greasy meat. 4322
Damnatio Memoriae (she/her) @dorcasrebanha.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Vegetables boiled in water until they're dead. 3110
Chilangüero @guero.eurosky.social · 21/04/2026German living in Mexico here. The only food from my childhood that I absolutely wouldn't eat (and still won't) is brains. And mind you, I enjoy all kinds of offal, blood sausages, etc. Here in Mexico, I'm not a huge fan of pancita (also called menudo, i.e. tripe soup), but plenty of people love it 010
Runs Like Mud @runslikemud.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Sweet potato casserole. Usually served at American Thanksgiving. Take a delicious, nutritious sweet potato (yam) which is already sweet, add brown sugar & top with marshmallows. I cannot even think about eating it, I get a cavity thinking about it. It’s served with the meal, not even as a dessert. 150
LaurieR @laurierem.bsky.social · 21/04/2026The worst things I can think of from my Appalachian background are head cheese, souse, and those disgusting cold "salads" drowning in mayonnaise (macaroni salad..potato salad..). Also what my mother called dried beef gravy (SOS). And New England Boiled Dinner. Ugh..🤢 110
Deus Hex Machina @asterionhex.monster · 21/04/2026Tuna noodle casserole. I love tuna, I love vegetables, I am happy to have a casserole, but this one is unredeemable. Nausea-inducing for me 6630
Ruthanna Emrys @r-emrys.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Matzoh brie. You can just have egg for Passover breakfast, if you want, and you can even put maple syrup on it - it certainly won't be *worse* than if you first add soggy bread-of-affliction to the mix! 010
Lucille @lucilleiii.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Kibbeh nayyeh. I dig tartare and carpaccio, but I just can’t handle the slimy texture or the risk of raw ground meat. 210
Anomalous Jen @anomalouslibrarian.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Tuna casserole Thats white people shit and I wont allow it in my home or in my stomach. Learn to cook. 190
Sabermane @homelessrobot.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I never had them, but Rocky Mountain Oysters are probably our own local "why??" Food. 080
Libby on the Label @drainbead.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I'll eat damn near anything (except brains and eyeballs because prions terrify me), but I grew up with a Jewish stepdad who ate jarred gefilte fish and I could never convince myself to try it. I'd consider trying a homemade version but not fish jello goo. 190
blitzen13 🇨🇦 @blitzen13.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Midwestern Canada, and we don't really have a cuisine of our own, we just steal everyone else's & make it worse. I nominate "Chinese" peaches & shrimp in mayo sauce, and the Burger Baron mushroom burger with literal canned mushroom soup on it. 4170
Alison Ryland @acryland.bsky.social · 21/04/2026The hot dogs in little jars or cans or whatever 🤮 100
FEARsten @k-a-aitch.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Lutefisk...dear lord, Bedstemor, put down the lye, please. Please do not apply it to the fish. She would also make head cheese from a whole hog's head. Similar to your aspic, didn't ever make it for us grandkids, but my grandfather apparently loved it. 2150
Keith Edwards @kedwards.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I quite like a lot of the Tex Mex food other whites turn their nose up at, like barbacoa and cabrito but there's a line and tripe is on the other side of it. Maybe It's because I'm a transplant to Texas (and perhaps my privilege is showing a bit). 110
Ordoalea @ordoalea.hr · 22/04/2026Ašpic or Hladentina... IS GOD'S PUNISHMENT FOR SLAVIC HUBRIS! I do not know what or how someone can force you into eating this. Sincerely... Tripce team. 140
Sara Baker @sarabaker.bsky.social · 21/04/2026This may be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve always hated meatloaf. 010
Morrisa Sherman @morrisasherman.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I dunno that it's the worst, but having had chilaquiles, and patates me avga, I gotta say, matzoh brei is disappointing. 010
X1 @imx1.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Around here (WI), it's probably cannibal sandwiches. Which I love, but I understand a lot of people are grossed out. But it is weird, because if you go to a high end restaurant and order steak/beef tartare, it's pretty much the same thing! 010
PonderOsa @rockintheroad.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Dill pickles, mayo, mustard, hard boiled eggs and anything made with them. Yuck. 010
Donald Bell @g12dcb.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Potted Hough. Beef shin in some gelatinous mass. Scared me to starvation at my grandmother's. Scotland's shame. 0100
Chris @crizqo.bsky.social · 22/04/2026That orange chicken you used to get in chips shops in London in the 80's? Delicious 000
daisy-sunshine73.bsky.social @daisy-sunshine73.bsky.social · 22/04/2026My mother-in-law makes this gross thing called ambrosia. It is mini marshmallows mixed with canned fruit, coconut flakes and sour cream. I think some people may use mayonnaise instead of sour cream. It looks so disgusting. The marshmallows look like wet chunks in a bowl. 🤮 000
SophisticatedPJs @sophisticatedpjs.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I'm struggling to think of any texan or texmex foods I don't like tbh 120
