16 People Revealed Which Luxury Delicacies They Wouldn’t Eat Even If They Were Paid

Fashion trends are not just limited to clothes, tourist destinations and cultural values. Food can also be part of this, and its price increases a lot. However, gastronomic preferences remain a matter of individual taste.

We, from incredible.club, we are convinced that the high price of a food does not guarantee that everyone will enjoy it. That’s why we’ve prepared a selection of expressions from rebellious internet users who don’t share a love for black caviar or truffles.

We went to the coast of France just to taste the freshest live oysters right out of the sea. What can I say? I couldn’t swallow any. I added lemon juice, I even added salt, even though they said that wasn’t right. Even so, it continued to be slippery and nasty, yuck! I tried to swallow, but ended up spitting it all out in the trash. © Olga / Yandex.Zen

I tried “centennial eggs”. They taste similar to hard-boiled eggs, but with a very strong ammonia smell. The white looks like coffee jelly and the yolk looks like blue clay, but liquid. For me, they are number 2 in my personal ranking of disgusting food. In 1st place so far is natto beans, but I want to get to surströmming. © ***elf / PikabuMy aunt brought a piece of some kind of cheese, which she specially brought from France. That “special” moldy cheese. When the package was opened, the aunt was alone in the room. Because no one was willing to smell, let alone eat cheese that smelled like a soldier’s boot after a 50 km march in the heat. The artifact was wrapped in several bags and returned to the aunt for personal consumption. Even with all the windows open, the stench lingered into the night. © Gleb Verkhov / Yandex.ZenI once bought it to try the original Sacher pie as I heard so many good things about it! I paid an absurd price for a very small piece. I couldn’t even finish eating, I had to throw the leftovers in the trash. © Tatjana Ott / Facebook

I’ve tried sea urchin roe twice in different restaurants. It’s just disgusting. I know nobody who would. I asked the waiters if there was a way to make them tastier, the answer was always the same: “You either like it or you don’t.” © WubaIubaDubDub_ / RedditI had the shark fin soup. The fin doesn’t add any flavor to the broth, it just makes it gelatinous. The same result could be achieved simply by adding cornstarch. © AdopeyIllustrator / RedditThere was a time when I was wooed by a boy from a wealthy family. He tried very hard to make a good impression. He once invited me to a romantic dinner: candles, crystal glasses, and so on. In the middle of the table was a huge vase of black caviar, the most disgusting thing! The boy was proud of himself for being able to pay for so much black caviar. But I already got sick just watching it, because I’m disgusted by caviar. Cold, mucous thing that bursts and releases fish goo in the mouth. As a child I had anemia and had to take fish oil, pretty much the same thing. Since then I can’t even look at caviar. In short, our “romantic dinner” consisted, for me, of potatoes with sour cream and pancakes.

Lampredotto. How many compliments have I heard! They created so much mystery about it… They say that visiting Florence and not trying lampredotto is a gastronomic crime! But in fact it turned out to be an ordinary gut. This dish is made from the last, fourth section of the cow’s stomach. Maybe someone likes tripe, but I feel sick just looking at it! The taste and smell are not for the uninitiated. © Elena D&A / Yandex.ZenOnce, in Thailand, we went to a seafood restaurant and I decided to make the most of it: I ordered all kinds of sea creatures. Surprisingly, almost everything tasted good, except the mantis shrimp, which were absolutely disgusting: smell of mud, bitter, taste of iodine and rotten egg. I do not recommend. © Irina Andreevna / FacebookI love France and French food, but I hate smelly cheese. It is very inconvenient when someone offers me brie or livarot and I have to eat it so as not to offend, as refusing is ugly. © Anne W Zahra / Quora

My parents taught me to eat whatever they gave me, so I can eat pretty much anything. However, many years ago, I went to a luxury restaurant, read the name of the dishes on the menu and ordered a steak tartare, which sounded very tasty from the name. It turned out to be a mixture of raw minced meat and egg. My dogs had a nice dinner that night. © Simon Brown / Quora When I smell truffles, I get nauseous because it smells musty. Worse than that, I work in a restaurant that serves dishes with truffles, and every time I feel sick. © sweetrhymepurereason / RedditI was traveling in the Czech Republic and went to a foie gras tasting. A pate without additives is not bad in itself, but to distinguish it from a cheap pate, apparently, you need to have an aristocratic taste. But when it came to trying foie gras with additives — with mushrooms, for example — I literally looked for a place to spit it out, as it was impossible to swallow. But some people bought a lot for the trip. © Olga B. / Yandex.Zen

About 20 years ago, I was invited by a wealthy and influential person to a private dinner at a restaurant. My companion ordered an escargot. They brought a ceramic dish with several holes, in each of which was a roasted snail. It’s not a food for everyone. Also, it’s almost tasteless. © Nadezhda Senkina / FacebookMy boss went on a business trip to China. There they took him to a luxury restaurant. He was asked to try a signature dish: some kind of soup, very dark. The taste was terrible, but in order not to offend the partners, the boss ate everything and asked what it was. They showed him a water jug ​​with a live snake in it. Then, when this water “reaches the right consistency”, it becomes a signature dish. © Diana Yaroslavkina / FacebookA friend returned from a trip from Spain and invited me to visit him. When I walked into his apartment, there was a very strong musty smell, as if he had left a suitcase full of used socks open. Suddenly he appeared with a saucer with some thin and unappetizing slices and said: “I paid 500 euros for a real Iberian jamon”. The “real jamon” was accompanied by chorizo, which also had a very strong smell. He could have warned me that I would come with a gas mask!
