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

I wonder how far back creative renaming in the military goes. I've read that in the USA civil war one of the things in rations was a compressed block of dried vegetables that was labelled as "dessicated vegetables" and the soldiers renamed it "desecrated vegetables".

I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t go back as far as the Roman legions.
 
Random bird innards - Motorcycle+Bird+Speed=Face spattered with guts (Visor was open )

Trout gills - Grilled trout with the head on and got too close to the head part, the rankest taste i've have ever experienced.

Marshmallows - a confectionary abomination.

I'm not sure. On the one hand, it seems to be mainly a thing with packaged ration products, which is a more recent thing. On the other hand, Roman soldiers had hard tack, which served the same purpose before more modern preservation techniques and which is notoriously unappetising. Later soldiers had their own unflattering names for hard tack, so it seems likely to me that Roman soldiers did.

Baby's heads were awesome! Didn't mind them at all. My fave though was rolled oats and i'd mix in the hot chocolate powder and cook - nom nom.

Dunno what Train Crash was.................Gotta be corned beef hash?
 
The most recent thing which was particularly disgusting was a Bernard Matthews Ham and cheese Turkey escalope.

Utterly rank. Anything but bootiful. Bernard would be turning in his grave if he knew they was putting out this old *****!

You heathen! I rather enjoyed those. I'm not a pate person, so that would have been rank regardless.

Did you ever experience the Yanks' MRE crackers? Those things were about 5 inches square and drier than Ghandi's flip-flop. The two-minute challenge to demolish 2 of them in 2 mins wasn't pleasant. Building and subsequently exploding an MRE bomb on the 1st day of GW2 probably wasn't my finest moment.

UK rat-packs are (allegedly) designed to constipate you. I was living off them during an inter-services competition at Honington back on '05 (camping on the airfield) and had never been so regular!

Pus from an infected toe.
Many years ago shortly after I had qualified as a podiatrist I was treating an elderly man for a painful and obviously infected toe, As I was debriding the hard skin and scab from the end of his toe the trapped pus was released under enormous pressure, it covered my forehead, nose and some entered my mouth, the taste actually defies description.
The old chap was so upset that after I had washed my face about 5 times and rinsed my mouth equally he insisted on giving me some excellent malt whisky, the first mouthful he said I should rinse and spit out but the subsequent three mouthfuls I swallowed, it did the trick.
