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.

IIRC even Japanese people don’t like natto, for the most part. It’s just reputed to be super healthy over there.
Wrong. Many Japanese people love it. Not all, of course.
Probably in a similar category as lutefisk in Norway. I like it, but I realize it’s an acquired taste.
Natto isn’t that bad there’s so many worse dishes
with onion and soy sauce and rice and kimchi
