Biting into a stink bug in a bowl of turnip greens. Eating raw sea urchin roe at a Japanese restaurant (it was so bad, I had to try it again -- yep, still bad). Finding a dish of lima beans and ham still warm on the stove and having a bowl, only to find out that it was an old crusty pan my mother had filled with hot water to soak before scrubbing it.
Sitting at the table with delicious french fries and a pile of rubber bands happened to be next to them. Mindlessly reaching for food and putting it in my mouth, you can imagine what may have gone wrong. Rubber bands taste awful.
Oh gosh, this also happened when I was about 9:
Poured a mound of sugar into my Rice Krispies cereal. First hungry bite... the sugar was salt.
Got food poisoning from oysters that I ate, in a nice/reputable Manhattan restaurant last year. I have never been so sick in my life--I actually thought I was dying, and had to call 911 (I was alone). Spent the whole night in the hospital, getting IVs - it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life.
I was visiting my daughter at college. She is vegan & took me to a very popular vegan restaurant. My food tasted good & was beautifully arranged until I saw movement & found a huge, green caterpillar with long, black spiky things!
Well I was travelling in Africa for work and there was a breakfast that was given to me in a small village: lamb brains.
The worst part being that in order to repel the flies, you also had oil lamps all around the table so the mix was unbelievable. I was hungry, but that was tough.
I've had that, too. Swimming in fake chik'n gravy. BLECCCCCHHHHH. Almost as bad as the Big Franks and Skallops.
Did you ever have Thanksgiving Dinner at an SDA house? We did for the first few years. An addendum to "worst food experiences".
We had "mock turkey"...diced mystery something layered with stuffing (the only good part of it) and the yucky chik'n gravy mentioned above poured over it. The pumpkin pie even had tofu in it instead of eggs and dairy.

I was lucky in the fact that the SDA family that I spent a lot of time with not all were vegetarians, so they had 4 nights a week they had meat.....but there were times I was there, the yucky stuff was served. I always had to at least try it, because I was taught to be polite. I actually didn't mind the fake burgers, after you put lots of stuff on them, they were decent. My relatives ate dairy too and there was always vegetable soup. I can remember going to camp meeting and them ordering cases and cases of worthington food crap....ugg...
My dh one time ate a chocolate donut after handeling one of our pet parrots. He noticed he dropped some frosting on his shirt and wiped it with his finger and licked it......only to figure out our parrot had left him a little present earlier!
Growing up my brother tricked me one time and asked me if I wanted some Mountain Dew. He had actually urinated in a glass, that's what I drank.
