Well, there was natō, which is just slimy fermented soybeans. Had a taste like rotten sick and a texture like milky mucus covering half-mushed beans.
Not a fan of sea urchin either.
Also eaten a few expired food items that made me very wary of repeats, and usually put me off the food in question for at least a year. Rotten fruit cup that tasted like acetone, slimy off ham, chunky lemon milk.
Last, I once tried to cook a ham hock in beans. Recipe came out tasting like what I imagine stewed human flesh would taste like. Just wrong. Couldnt say exactly why, but nothing about the smell or taste told me it was edible. It was the most visceral "you're-eating-a-dead-thing" feeling i've ever gotten.
Not just the double-slit for quantum mechanics, but it applies to people too. In a workplace, the second you start evaluating performance based on a metric, it ceases to be a useful metric. Why? Because people will shit the bed willingly in every other aspect of their job if it makes the number their boss looks at better. At that point, "highest performers" are really just the best bullshitters who can fake short-term benefits in lieu of long-term solutions, and all of them just make things worse overall.
It's the same as tomato being taxonomically a fruit. Taxonomically does not mean culinarily. Most people use culinary terms for these. Tomato is a vegetable. The first berry group is berries. Etc.
W-what?? It's n-not like I think he's sexy or anything! Baka!
Nah, im just saying, someone (fictional) made a cat into a humanoid with washboard abs and a toned physique that would be the envy of many and said "yeah, not only is this cat a solid 10 but your garden variety cat is better than a 3, that's almost halfway there baybee"
Nothing against furries or anything, just saying the bar needs to be higher. Please.
Always wanted to try saurkraut since I generally like pickled stuff. I am now less likely to try it
