Broom flavored soda. Buddy of mine made homemade sodas and did fun experiments and one went wrong so he called it broom soda because that's exactly how it tasted. He added to much sugar somewhere and it partial melted and had this weird texture that mimicked sand. It's such a weird drink to describe.
4/10 fun to laugh about but not to try more than a swig.
Old bay flavored beer. I mean, crabs with beer tastes good, so how bad could it be? Very.
It's starting to seem a little like some of the people making beer have never tried one.
Durian.
Texture of banana but with a huge seed. Tastes like a strange combination of rotten eggs, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, diced garlic, onions, cheese, and... caramel?
It's fucked. Never again.
Stinky tofu. Smelled like literal shit, tasted like literal shit.
..............I think maybe you just offended your waiter.......
Oyster flavored ice cream. First surprise was that it actually tasted like oysters, second was that it was actually good as a ice cream. I wouldn't mix it with more "normal" flavors though
I had a Spicy Maine root soda last night. It was truly awful.
They have one called "Pink Drink". It's not available bottled, The only place I ever had it was at Austin City limits Festival a few years before the pandemic. It's kind of a Prickly-pear Lemonade flavored soda. It was without a doubt the most delicious, refreshing beverage I have ever consumed, and the fact that I've never been able to find it since then is actually one of the biggest disappointments of my life.
Would it happen to be this? https://freshellakitchen.com/product/maine-root-pink-drink/
Cilantro toothpaste. I like the other flavours this company has but this one is awful.
One of those Harry Potter jelly beans that tastes like snot.
Salty liquorice ice cream, probably.
It's not a weird taste to me but I'd imagine the vast majority of non-Finnish people would absolutely hate it.
Battered Mars bar.
Prepare to get crazy mad, but I absolutely despise marshmallows.
They feel so weird especially in my mouth. I feel like I'm eating a bunch of candle wax mixed with white sticky liquid (can't say anymore hints) mixed with whipped cream and powdered sugar and glue and coconut (which I already don't like) and expired milk but without the sourness, all this while it's in the process of solidification, with lots of air trapped inside, and yet it all tastes like the most artificial, fakest recreation of apple flavor I've ever tasted. I feel like I immediately get drunk, high, and on drugs all at the same time as soon as I put just one of these puffcylinders into my mouth. I can't even swallow it, it tastes this bad.
And you're expecting me to burn this piffy puffle substance then mix it with chocolate and biscuit? This is giving me an absolute stroke.
Prepare the downvotes. I have just roasted (pun not intended) everyone's favorite gelatin snack, and it might as well be the most offensive thing I've said about food.
the most offensive thing I've said about food.
You had me at "anymore". I think you meant "any more", the same way "what's up Chuck" is not like "what's upchuck".
I'm pretty sure I did not say "anymore" in my initial comment, I just re-read it.
Also, what even is upchuck? Is it like updog?
Orange (or similiar) juice with apple/grape cider.
Yes, unique feeling on the tongue.
Like a non alcoholic mimosa.
Probably the garlic ice cream in garlic restaurant Balthasar in Tallinn.
8/10. Would eat again. Sadly it looks like the place closed down, probably during covid-19 :-(
Tuna melt with peanut butter. It was really good and I've never had it again.
You have the power to shape your own destiny. You know what you must do
Now this is the kind of weird encouragement that there needs to be more of out in the world
I do my best
Those weird flavored mints you get from chinese restaurants as you leave. They could be worse for sure.
Smash! It's bugel chips coated in chocolate. Very good, but i can't by it cause I'd eat the whole bag and get sick.
I used to work at Starbucks and we'd make weird shit out of curiosity. The best one was uncut cold brew coffee and their strawberry refresher base. Uncut cold brew and lemonade wasn't terrible but way too acidic for my liking.
Ugh, mixing anything carbonated with milk is just... wrong.
Agreed! I'm also grossed out by the people who would get the Passion tea (which is made with hibiscus and lemongrass, and is very acidic) with heavy cream. It curdled damn near instantly and was just.... nasty.
Chocolate soda. I can’t remember exactly how it tasted but I remember not liking it and it didn’t remind me of chocolate but it was carbonated.
But that wasn’t the weirdest ones I saw as there was also a ranch soda and bacon soda.
Peanut butter. It's vile.
I had that Kraft Mac and Cheese ice cream. It was very strange. It was also better tasting than it had any right to be.
That being said... I don't want any more of it.
Marshmallow and chips. Dry they were okay, I could separate the flavours, but with gravy added the flavour of the marshmallows mixed in with the gravy and chips and the whole lot tasted horrible.
How can I delete someone else's post?
And by chips he means French fries
I used to work in a bar. Somebody ordered a Malibu (coconut liqueur) with tonic water. I tasted some out of curiosity. It was weird, but not in a good way.
Beer flavored peanuts. It tasted like a beer burp. It was, different...
If you want to try a very divisive cocktail, you need to go no further than the classic Negroni. I absolutely love them, but they are not for everyone. Extremely bitter and astringent - you certainly don't gulp this one down. To me, it's the most "adult" of adult alcoholic beverages. You either love or or despise it.
Wanna try it?
Equal parts:
Negronis are my absolute favorite drink, but most people I know hate them. Absinthe is just as divisive.
I remember absinthe as delightful but I don’t remember it real well

Ah, I see you're man of (drinking) culture as well
This might not seem weird to many buy as a north american I had never encountered anything like it.
Shiso spice on rice.
It was a completely foreign flavor to me; like nothing I'd ever tasted before. Not a single thing in the north american diet is remotely close to what it tastes like. I saw there awestruck for a moment.
Its incredible. I was instantly hooked.
You can buy it online from Amazon wherever you're located. I got a bunch when I was going through a period experimenting with East Asian spices and condiments.
