What is your own example of my still-well-remembered horrid food experience?



I've always LOVED chocolate cake

I was maybe about ten years old at a big get-together with people of all ages

Everyone had brought food to share

I took a big piece of chocolate cake

I took a bite

BUT

it was NOT chocolate cake . . .



 . . . it was "Chocolate Mocha Cake"  (or some sort of godawful coffee flavor in it)





I wasn't so old as this guy in the gif but that was my reaction

    I chomped down on a bite of salad during lunch on my first ship and there was something squishy in it. I didn't even look, I just threw it out. It was a long time before I ate another one. Another one...same ship. I was thirsty one night, so I went to the galley to get some bug juice. In the dispenser was a blue juice, which I had never seen. I poured a cup and took a swig. It was a cleaning solution. To this day, I will not drink anything blue. Oh, bug juice is anything that the Navy serves from a drink dispenser.

    Yup - - those kinds of things are what I'm asking, thanks, Element 99!  :)


    Thanks for your explanation on 'bug juice" - - my first thought reading that was "What's bug juice?"

    And is a "bite salad" something special?  No biggie - - I, too, probably would've had a bad reaction, just with an unexpected squishy texture in my mouth.

    I fixed it to 'bite of' before Randy or Stu saw it.

    I can delete that part of my reply if you want.  :)

    I only now got back, a bit late, to see your reply. As did Stu, too, I  see.  :)

    Oh, yeah. In camps there are usually bugs in them.

    It was probably Hawaiian Punch or Kool-Aid.

      I have no examples to give of things that have happened to you.

    Only thing I can think of that’s a bit similar was the first time I tried wasabi. I thought it was going to be like guacamole for some reason so I used a large about of it. My tongue and nose were on fire for the rest of the night lol.

    My first bite of guacamole was that way - - except that I knew it was going to be guacamole and I still hated it. Still do. Ug!
    Ha!
    :)

    I've not had wasabi.
