What's the worst thing you've ever had in your mouth?

Poor quality lamb.
Utterly fauw (Northern saying that).
It was expensive too, from Costco.
Rancid is the best word to describe it.

edit: also had extremely inedible food from Wetherspoon Paisley when working away.
 
The desire to try new things doesn't always work out -

- Shark - extremely salty, like eating a salt pie with added salt then washing it down with seawater.
- Pidgeon - how I imagine a London Hackney cab would taste like, like a rat fed on carbon monoxide.

Probably the 8 spiders a year we're meant to be eating.

You're not, so don't worry about that. Spiders are extremely reluctant to enter the mouth of an animal large enough to eat them and can sense that you're a huge (to them) animal. The only way you can accidentally eat a spider is if you're asleep on your back with your mouth open and a spider falls off the ceiling directly into your mouth and even then it's very unlikely that you'd eat it because your instinctive (you're asleep, so your response will be all instinct) would be to spit it out.

We do eat parts of spiders and other small animals, though. They get into food processing machinery sometimes. There are even food safety standards for it.

The worst thing I've had in my mouth is V8...drink, I suppose. It's a viscous liquid of mushed up vegetable slop. A coworker memorably described it as "sick in a can". Probably some people like it. They're welcome to it. I'd rather lick Boris Johnson's armpits. Well, I'd rather not. But given the choice between the two, Boris Johnson's armpits it is.
 
By chance I happened to be watching a video earlier about military rations and followed a link to a channel by a person who eats military rations and reviews them (Steve1989mreinfo, IIRC). It was, quite surprisingly, interesting. Most of the food is, as you'd expect, adequate. One of the foodstuffs mentioned quite often by commentators was a vegetable omelette that was in some ration packs in the USA military for a short period of time. It was widely known as "the vomelet", which gives you a good idea of how popular it was.

There's a picture of it here:

I watched the video of it. It really does look like that. Apparently it tastes worse than it looks and is genuinely inedible unless you have plenty of sauce to mask it and you're hungry enough.

First time I had was 'forced' to eat the breakfast I was nearly sick. As someone who hates beans, and well rat packs are groce enough as it is, it was an awful experience.

The Wethers story wins the thread though, that is absolutely disgusting and I'd put anything in my mouth.

V8 juice is, or was, a big deal in the U.S., although I don’t specifically recall drinking it.
When the O.J. Simpson case was going on in the U.S., some 25 years ago, my wife would constantly stick her 5 cents in about it, in the bar that we used regularly in Hernando Beach FL.
One day one of the local lady regulars from the bar texted her, “Hey Nicky, better switch to V8, that O.J. will kill ya!”
It took my wife a couple of seconds to realise that she meant Orange Juice!
 
Petrol. Siphoning a jerry can to gravity feed an engine I was working on straight to the carb. Used a black fuel line so couldn't see where the fuel was up to. Took a full gulp, 10th of a second later spat everything out but it proceeded to go up my nose, on my face, in my eyes, down my throat. Genuinely scary at not being able to breathe or see, everything burnt like hell. Will never repeat that shortcut!
