Mrs Binners has just bought this:
I'm weighing up whether this constitutes grounds for divorce? Why would somebody do something like that? WHY?!!
So let's have your nominations for stuff that is meant to edible but amounts to a war crime in your opinion
I spotted that the other day. I'm quite tempted.
You want to get some of this, Mrs Binners will be all over you like a tramp on chips.

What about snotty chicken in a can?
"HOME STYLE GOODNESS" - cripes.
At least they've fully cooked it to be fair.
microwave burgers
Bin bins - do you like both marmite and hummus separately or are you one of those weirdos?
Intrigued by the combination.....
It's all the processed shizzle isn't it....I give you crab sticks.
Honourable mention to the old SIS gels that if allowed to dribble on eating looks like you've given someone a happy ending.
Anything with aspartame in it.
Greggs cheese and bean melts
...or, as my 15 year old son calls them, "They mad bean'n'cheez hings"
He's addicted to them.
Beaten to it on microwave burgers, saw a couple piling them into their trolley in our local Tesco last night.
The wife's comment was that her Son had eaten 4 that day already, yack!
Spam.
Corned beef, unless in pie or hash, is equally vile.
As for crab sticks mentioned ^^^ shudders.
Rice cakes. To make something so awful and then name it after actual delicious cake? Twisted evil Bastards.
I want Parma Violet cheese.
I want it now.
Bin bins – do you like both marmite and hummus separately or are you one of those weirdos?
Like all sane people, I don't regard either as edible. The Greeks invented hummus to deal with their surplus tiling grout, by adding some garlic to it and rebranding it as food. Marmite is harvested from under the devils toenails
It’s all the processed shizzle isn’t it….I give you crab sticks.
She loves those vile abominations too. Looking at this, now, she's got awful taste. That explains why she married me then
Okra. I will eat practically anything (that canned chicken notwithstanding), but okra... *shudders*
Oysters, mussels, cockles, whelks etc.
If i'm going to eat an animal, it needs to have had a face.
I'm absolutely with you on that PP. Like eating slightly solidified slime
Do none of you remember this?
I struggle to forget it. I’d rather eat several tins of burger/pizza toast than Parma Violet Cheshire cheese (I have tried it, bought it as a joke present for mrsTH, tastes as bad as you’d imagine)
Spam.
I'll raise you Spam Fritters. Must have been a Lanarkshire thing to have them for school dinners. I can still feel the grease over 35 years later.
Must have been a Lanarkshire thing
Nope, had them a couple of weeks ago, in Yorkshire. Salty battered meat(ish)y deliciousness.
Must have been a Lanarkshire thing to have them for school dinners.
with two perfectly round balls of solid mashed potatoes served using an ice cream scoop.
I'm pretty open in food, will happily eat most things in truth, however...
Peanuts, though I accept that they could kill me makes me somewhat biased against them.
Taramasalata, vile stuff.
PP +1
Malvernrider - if an engineer or some similar sort had dirty finger nails I say fine, but a man (Who knows?) holding cheese with hands like that? I'd puke before you mentioned maggots, and then again for good measure.
Cucumber is utterly pointless green water gone wrong, not sure what might be right about green water mind you.
Sweet Sue and her canned chicken can stay over the pond keeping the trumpsters happy, we don't need that kinda nonsense here thank you very much

I used to pay 70p for one of these on a barm/muffin/roll etc. with chips. From the college refectory when I was doing my HND back in the late 80s. Loved 'em!
Tinned sardines. Bleurgh 🤮
Why did I open this while I’m eating my breakfast?
for me it has to be floral gums. Sweets that taste like soap, but aren’t a joke. I don’t understand.
thay said, I’d eat them long before I opened a tin of spam.
I don't think I can beat any of the above, but I did see today that you can now also get
but I think it will be nicer than Marmite houmous. Just.
I wondered if anyone had spotted that particular evil. Marmite and peanut butter is all kinds of wrong.
Only thing to make it worse would be to add it to sprouts
Well there is nothing that can't be improved with a liberal sprinkling of....

Marmite goes without saying, utterly vile.
Blancmange (this includes the various commercial variants like Angels Delight) - congealed vomit with chemical flavouring (in the case of AD)
Crab sticks. Holy hell...
Corned Beef? No way - corned beef and brown sauce sarnies. Or corned beer, salad and salad cream sarnies. Yum.
I wondered if anyone had spotted that particular evil. Marmite and peanut butter is all kinds of wrong.
I love Marmite. I love peanut butter. I could happily eat either from the jar with a spoon.
On a previous "strange food combos you like" thread Marmite & peanut butter was suggested several times so I tried it. It was utterly revolting.
Corned Beef? No way – corned beef and brown sauce sarnies. Or corned beer, salad and salad cream sarnies. Yum.
Indeed. Corned beef and beetroot butties are a personal favourite
Beetroot? thats not a foodstuff its a clothes dye
My daughter informed me that Marmite is honey made by wasps. That said, I like Marmite.
Orange cheese. Why?
Herrings - pickled, rollmop, kippered, in custard.
I've had one of those microwave Rustler burgers, just tasted like a McDonald's cheeseburger to me.
Nutella - I like chocolate, I like hazelnuts but something is so wrong about Nutella.
I used to love the BBQ Rib they do, now that's unhealthy!
Candy floss should definitely be banned for any number of reasons . Rock isn't much better .
As of Sunday just gone, this

Oh, why does a tiny little bottle of innocent ginger kick deserve to be sent to hell I hear you ask....
Well, innocent seem to think it’s ok to put red peppers INTO A CHUFFIN DRINK..... Now, as I’m someone who has a rather nasty intolerance to peppers I make sure I check the ingredients of all foodstuffs I buy..... Yes, foodstuffs, not a CHUFFIN DRINK!
So after taking one small sip of this ginger shot on Sunday I’ve been turning myself inside out on the toilet since....Had to take a sick day yesterday ffs..... I probably only drank 20ml, I can still taste it
In Spain, we had what was translated as pigs trotters which conjured up ideas of something like a lamb shank but crispy and porky. No, it was a ball of slime glazed in something brown. That's all it was. I was wretching at the sight of it, and I like floral gums, marmite and hummus. Even cockles and such like. But not oysters - they're like fishy Spanish pigs trotters.
Beetroot? thats not a foodstuff its a clothes dye
I bloody love beetroot! And to disgust you even further Uncle Jezza, one of my favourite butties is beetroot and this stuff on Warbies toasty.
Give it a go! It’s filthy! You might be converted. 😃
Andouillette...& to make matters worse it looks like a delicious sausage!
Evil ba*&7Rds...
Ah. Yes. Bought Andouillette and put it on a BBQ. Then it burst and sprayed recognisable pieces of pig across a 3m kill zone.
Bounty bars. Chocolate - yes! Coconut's insides - NO!
My favourite food I love to hate is Halloumi. It's not cheese. It's rubber and squeaks. It's not real cheese. Imposter. The texture is criminal.
Nutella – I like chocolate, I like hazelnuts but something is so wrong about Nutella.
Because this
But that's what makes it taste so good!

Have you tried frying it?
Squeaky cheese is bloody lovely!!
Cook it on a griddle or a barby. It’s ace!
Haggis.
Nobody really wants to know whats in it.
Any sort of granola that isn't at least 50% sugar and fruit. I don't care how much honey you say is in this, it's still chipboard shards.
thestabiliser
MemberRice cakes. To make something so awful and then name it after actual delicious cake? Twisted evil Bastards.
And then they put the bloody things in the Free From section and take up space that ought to be filled with actual free from stuff, rather than just stuff that just happens to not have anything worth eating in. Why not put the car oil and the barbeque fuel in there too while you're at it since it's all dairy free too.
If this image post attempt doesnt work, then it might be for the best
EDIT - It worked... and Im sorry. *pukes*
Mushrooms. Can’t believe mushrooms haven’t come up yet.
I will never understand why people enjoy eating big mould.
Taste, smell, texture and life cycle are all wrong. They’re not of this world and shouldn’t be trusted.
There is nothing in this thread that I wouldn't eat.
I'm not keen on tripe, but I'd give it a go.
It's apparent that many people are just listing food they're fussy with rather. IMO a crime against humanity food wise would be something really artificial like squeezey cheese.
something really artificial like squeezey cheese
I'm sort of with you, being a cheese fan myself.....but then this comes along

Goes really well on a rice cake.
Salted caramel - both ingredients are fine on their own, but combined it is just rank!
Cola ketchup is probably pretty good actually. "Cola chicken" is a thing.
as I’m someone who has a rather nasty intolerance to peppers I make sure I check the ingredients of all foodstuffs I buy….. Yes, foodstuffs, not a CHUFFIN DRINK!
As someone with a cheese allergy I've been burned once too often to trust to 'common sense' and check everything. They sneak the stuff into or onto all manner of things without asking.
I once got spaghetti in a restaurant in the US* and specifically asked for no cheese. Right at the end they drowned it in powdered mozzarella from one of those flour duster things. I protested, they replied "it's not cheese, it's 'shake'." FFS.
(* - Fazoli's, it's a semi-fast-food chain mostly in the SW states, of a similar salubriousness as Nando's, and it's brilliant. You should go. Tell them I sent you.)

Delete your account.
Pork pies with that cat food type jelly in them.
I'd rather eat Jim Royles arsehole.
Marmite Peanut butter on toast is my current fave pre ride fuel 😀 I also love Spam, food of kings fried with eggs in sarnie..not sure if my arteries agree though
I'd destroy that easy cheese up there, any fake cheese products are a weakness, cheesy pasta, primula, all spreads really, nacho cheese dips, that filth Binners eats with beetroot, bring it, bring it all, BRING THE NUCLEAR CHEESE!
Marmite and peanut butter is delicious. I have a subscription to Jackpot peanut butter, and they do a wasabi one which is also delicious #hipster
To go with Parma Violets. This Gouda I have tried and it is rank!
Marmite and peanut butter is delicious.
What sort of ratio? Am I doing it wrong?
Radishes. Basically Satan's testes. Awful vile things that can basically f off. Also tinned tuna - bleurgh. How anyone can ruin a lovely bit of fish like tuna by tinning it is beyond me. Yes, preserving it, but it's preserved by turning it into catfood.
Celery. It's like a half-baked wannabe British bamboo, fit only to be dried and used as fire guel.
@panzerjager - you're Stuart Maconie ! He's also wrong 'cos a good andouillette is amazing
Not many foods listed so far I wouldn't at least try, some I love, such as peanut butter and marmite sandwiches.
But that cooked chicken in a can looks grim, never knew they existed!
Marmite is harvested from under the devils toenails
No, it’s a beer byproduct! There are a couple of breweries near where I work, and if the wind’s right, there’s a nice marmite-ey smell wafting around, and all I can think of is beer o’clock!
Vastly better than the stench from the Arla milk processing place just up the road when the tanks and other assorted plumbing’s being cleaned out, I can assure you! 🤢
I once ordered a pizza in France that had Andoilette on it.
Liberal application of ketchup made it possible to eat but it was a miserable lunch.
Grapefruit- Why the hell would anyone eat something that tastes so rank. I'd love to meet the moron who named it as it taste's nothing like grapes.
No, it’s a beer byproduct! There are a couple of breweries near where I work, and if the wind’s right, there’s a nice marmite-ey smell wafting around, and all I can think of is beer o’clock!
The Glasgow smell. I miss that.
Taste is vile though.
It’s apparent that many people are just listing food they’re fussy with
Very much this.
My favourite food I love to hate is Halloumi. It’s not cheese. It’s rubber and squeaks. It’s not real cheese. Imposter. The texture is criminal.
But also, very much this.
Have you tried frying it?
Have you tried shoving it up your arse? Because I sincerely doubt it would make it taste any worse.
Whenever I hear about fermented foods, I have to wonder how the hell they were invented. Ok, maybe someone got desperate during a famine and scraped the brown residue out of the bottom of a storage barrel, but why did they keep eating it after the famine ended?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiviak
Kiviak or kiviaq is a traditional wintertime Inuit food from Greenland that is made of little auks (Alle alle) fermented in a seal skin.
Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin, beaks and feathers included.[1] As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out.[2] Over the course of three months, the birds ferment,[2] and are then eaten during the arctic winter, particularly on birthdays and weddings.[3]
The process was featured in the third episode of BBC's Human Planet in 2011.[2]
In August 2013 several people died in Siorapaluk from eating kiviak that was made from eider rather than auk. Eider does not ferment as well as auk, and gave those that ate it botulism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakarl
Hákarl (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈhauːkʰartl̥]; an abbreviation of kæstur hákarl, referred to as fermented shark in English) is a national dish of Iceland consisting of a Greenland shark or other sleeper shark which has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months. It has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste, making hákarl an acquired taste.[1]
Fermented shark is readily available in Icelandic stores and may be eaten year-round, but is most often served as part of a þorramatur, a selection of traditional Icelandic food served at the midwinter festival þorrablót.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstromming
Surströmming (pronounced [ˈsʉ̂ːˌʂʈrœmːɪŋ]; Swedish for ''sour herring'') is a lightly-salted fermented Baltic Sea herring traditional to Swedish cuisine since at least the 16th century.
The Baltic herring, known as strömming in Swedish, is smaller than the Atlantic herring, found in the North Sea. Traditionally, the definition of strömming is "herring fished in the brackish waters of the Baltic north of the Kalmar Strait".[1] The herring used for surströmming are caught just prior to spawning in April and May.
During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish its characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste. According to a Japanese study, a newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya.[2]
At the end of the 1940s, surströmming producers in Sweden lobbied for a royal ordinance (Swedish: förordning) that would prevent incompletely fermented fish from being sold. The decree that was issued forbade sales of the current year's production in Sweden prior to the third Thursday in August. While the ordinance is no longer on the books, retailers still maintain the date for the "premiere" of that year's catch.[3]
but why did they keep eating it after the famine ended?
Not into cheese, beer or bread then?
