Have you ever tasted or drank anything from your host country that made you say "never again"

Living in a country that herring is the staple diet, I've tasted some really odd (to me) regional foods that the Swedes drool over.
1) Smoked Eel ... just nasty stuff
2) Caviar ... too fishy for my taste, thou Swedes enjoy it on eggs.
3) Raindeer/Moose/Hare ... don't eat meat that much, thou Moose meat is nice.
4) Cray Fish ... enjoy crawdads in Aug. with the party.
5) Surströmming Rotten Herring or read here ... never never will I try or come near this stuff GROSS
6) Lytfisk ... here ... nope not me I'll never try this again

There one thing I do love & the Swedes do it right is Swedish Coffee I know understand why my husband calls N.American coffee coloured water.

Indian ice cream. Never, ever again. It's too bitter for my taste.

It's kinda mean to tell a grade three class that you're going to give them ice cream, then serve them smooshed soapberries with a little bit of sugar mixed in.

The only Swedish dish I dislike is the Swedish version of a cabbage roll. A Pune or something similiar surrounded by ground beef wrapped in cabbage and cooked in gravy. I think it was near Kristianstad that I had it. We'd been to some beach close by that had sand like white powder. As for smoked eel, I love the stuff. Try living in a Chinese culture if you want gross food.

If you change the cray fish to lobster...the rest of it sounds rural eastcoast to me.

Those cabbage rolls are called Kåldolmar & their not too bad at all.

another dish here that Swedes serve is Blood Pudding I didn't enjoy it at all.

I went to a cocktail party a long time ago and I was super hungry so I was eating lots of hors d'ouvres (I doubt I spelled that right) There was this one that looked like philo pastry on the outside and had somethign squishy on the inside. Looked kinda like a sausage roll. It most certainly wasnt. I have never stasted anythign so bad. I was totally gagging but had to stwallow it anyways. It tasted like somebody had puked in side it. Never had anything that bad before or after, and may I never have it again.

Jellied eels is an English dish that i would definately never try. Just the look of it makes me wanna puke.

I just wish theyd have more Mexican food over here. Mmmmmmmmm Taco Bell.

Brain of Sheep and watery eggs. Croatians can not make an egg to save their life!

When I lived in Japan I made myself try everything offered to me. If I didn't like it, I never ate it again.

The worst was natto, which is fermented soybeans. It looks not unlike beans you get out of a can, but it is stringy and smells like a dead animal.

Other things I tried once but never ate twice was horse meat and whale meat, mostly because I didn't care for the taste and/or consistency of them.

Japanese eel, however is great and can be found in restaurants here too. It may sound gross, but tastes pretty much like any other fish.
