Tomatoes
That guy is a monster, when tomatoes are that small you pop the whole thing in your mouth and hide the explosion.
This always disgusted me but I could never understand why
You were meant to be disgusted. That's the point.
Will Smith eating spaghetti.
Or watching Eminem eat spaghetti and then go on stage with a dirty sweater.
I was booing him all night, the nervous fuck.
Balut - partially developed chicken or duck embryos. It's served a number of ways, but the one that turned my stomach was boiled in the shell and served like a soft-boiled egg. Watched my Filipino friend eat it. He scooped the whole thing into his mouth and when he bit down, the body cavity of the embryo ruptured, causing the entrails to pop out of his mouth. Then he slurped them back in like spaghetti. That's about when I refilled the beer pitcher with my puke.
SurstrΓΆmming - fermented herring. Looks like rotten fish. Smells like rotten fish. Tastes like...well I don't know. All I can tell you is it was salty, but beyond that all I tasted was vomit. Watching a neophyte eating it will usually treat you to the sound of gagging, followed by vomiting. Maybe your own, since the smell is truly pervasive.
Okay that first one is easily the most horrifying thing I've read this morning, and this is minutes after reading about the dude who mixed his dad's sperm with his own.
Some great stuff here, but I'll vote for natto. I enjoy it, but it is very gross to watch somebody eat, like seeing somebody eat a big bowl of the slimiest orange snot you've ever seen. Literally you can string it across a room.
It tastes like a mixture of cheese, hummus, and pungent soy sauce. It's definitely a different flavor, umami is the only way I can describe it.
Who sneezed on my beans?
Tuyo! My wife loves these. She'll make a big plate of them, then tear them apart with her bare hands, dipping them chunk by chunk into a small bowl of pickle brine. When she's done there's nothing left but a pile of eyeballs and lips on the plate.
Sounds horrifying.
So good with rice and a chutney of diced tomatoes, vinegar, fish sauce, and salted duck egg. I grew up in the Philippines but have lived in the US for more than half my life, so I can understand how it can be perceived as weird and even gross, but as a kid I was so used to seeing it on a plate that to my brain it registers as totally normal.
nothing more infuriating than people slurping liquids or noodles as loud as they can
My dad eating soup is the worst thing i can imagine. I don't know why people do that and i don't know why i hate it so much.
I remember as a kid watching an old timey movie with some kids and one of them was slurping his soup. The other one asked why he does that and he said: becuase it's more fun, and everyone did it and they were laughing and having a grand old time. I almost threw up
This is the biggest thing that has kept me from visiting Japan. That sound sets off my misiphonia like crazy, and I'm afraid I'd wind up in a corner crying.
I had a colleague that would bring frozen soups/stews, warm them just enough so that he could break through the ice, and he'd eat that. It was disgusting.
cherry tomatoes
Not if you just eat them whole.
Really the only correct way of eating them tbh. Why would you take bites of something so squirty when it's also so small?
Escargots, i.e. snails.
It's pretty slimy looking when people pull it out of the shell with a toothpick and eat it.
The flavour is not bad, but also not worth the experience, IMHO.
crab or lobster. they just look like massive spiders
Soup, hands down. Slurpers are the worst, but even not slurpers are disgusting.
Spaghetti if they're slurping it. Just because it has the convenience of existing in noodle form doesn't make it feel off to watch someone not use their silverware, even if I won't say anything about someone doing it in my presence.
seeing people eat tacos when they don't even know how to hold them properly
Everything eaten by Brendan in The Whale.
Anything where they loudly suck off their fingers afterwards. I know somebody that does, like, slow, sensual in-and-out, too.
