What is the ickiest food you've eaten

Boiled okra. My mom used to put it in the collard greens (which we had at least twice a week) and the black-eyed peas (also two or three times a week). The happiest day of my gastronomical life* was when I left home and knew that I could now eat both collards and black eyed peas and never, ever again be forced to allow boiled okra to pass my lips.

I hate okra. If it were up to me, every field that had ever grown okra would be salted so that nothing would ever grow there again!

Did I mention that I loathe and despise okra?

*happiest until the day I discovered sushi. To quote the web comic User-Friendly: "Finally to be goink to temple of Yumski. Tonight comrades, we are eatink Sushi. What's sushi? It is religious. Like cathedral. Caffeine for Mind. Pizza for Body. Sushi.. For soul."

They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
