Five Worst Foods

There are a lot of disgusting foods in this world. Some are just disgusting to me, and some are unbearable to most people. A couple things that I think are extremely gross are lemon meringue pie, hamburger helper, chicken pot pie, eggs, and black licorice.

5. Lemon Meringue Pie
Pies are suppose to be sweet, light and simple. However, this pie has a very strong sour taste and the ingredients are disproportionate. This pie has more meringue topping on it than what is suppose to be the most important part of the pie, the lemon filling. Not only does it combine the wrong textures together, its tastes clash between the meringue topping and the lemon filling. Something so condense and something so fluffy and light should never be put together.

4. Hamburger Helper
This may seem like the best way to get in a quick meal but in reality, you will end up not eating anything because of the horrible taste that comes from this combination. You can’t really expect a lot from a boxed dinner but this really goes lower than your expectations. The mix that comes with this has a very weird and powdery taste and doesn’t mix well with all the other ingredients and also seems to give a bad after-taste. In my opinion, hamburger should never be mixed with pasta unless you are an expert chef that knows what you're doing.

3. Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie in my opinion, is one of the weirdest pies created, combined with ingredients you would never put together any other time. Some people love this pie, but when I decided to try it, I discovered a bone in it and it scarred me for life so now whenever I hear the word “chicken pot pie” it makes my stomach turn. I think the person that created this just tried to find a simple way to cook a chicken dinner and had some pie crust that was about to go bad and put it to use.

2. Eggs
An egg, if you think about it is not appealing in the least bit. This hard, oval shell filled with gooey insides came from inside a hen. There’s always the possibility of there being a baby chicken in it too but if you decide you want one, you’re going to be eating what could have been a cute, baby chicken. Other than all those gross factors, there’s also the post-cooking trauma where you end up with a horrible texture and taste that could never be eaten alone (not even ketchup could mask the taste).

1. Black Licorice
Red licorice tastes so good, I can’t possibly understand how they could concoct such an unbearable taste from something so similar. Not only is it hated by most people, but it puts your health at risk if you eat too much. The fluid retention from increased sodium retention raises your blood pressure and puts strain on your heart and lungs. Although most of the black licorice sold in the U.S is not made from the licorice root, it is still very bad for you. It also leaves a very bad after taste that remains in your mouth for a long time. Over all these horrible foods, black licorice rises to the top of the list.
