Taste really is subjective, particularly when it comes to actual taste. Everyone has a favorite food, culinary preferences and a special place in their heart for certain dishes. But every once and a while, someone cooks up a dish so vile netizens just had to share it online.
The “Unusual Foods” Facebook page is dedicated to culinary innovations that probably should have been left on the drawing board. So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare yourself for the worst, upvote the most heinous crimes against food and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

What constitutes “inedible food” is a pretty broad question. After all, if you’ve ever met a picky eater, even the most delicious delicacies will, suddenly, have some major issue stemming from a distaste for a particular smell or texture. However, certain items can and often will turn the average person into a truly picky eater.

Probably the first thing that might come to most folk’s minds are the various regional cheeses that smell like something between a barn and a corpse. Naturally, our brains are trying to protect us, so rotten food and corpses (among other things) are generally not at all safe to be around. That being said, certain cheeses, like Limburger, are pretty tasty, if you can manage to get over the smell.

Indeed, eating a “stinky” food item is a great way to hammer home just how important smell actually is. The aforementioned odorous cheeses can be delicious, but at the end of the day, many people can struggle to get past the smell. Similarly, items like nattō, a Japanese fermented soybean, combine a slimy texture with an unpleasant smell. Interestingly, it’s often eaten for breakfast, which seems like a wonderful way to start one’s day.

This highlights the importance of form, texture and shape. For example, many people might balk at the idea of eating the head of an animal, particularly if it's served in it's "natural" form. However, take the meat off and suddenly it becomes entirely palatable.

OMG! Not cursed at all. This is the Gelateria Llinares in Valencia, Spain. "Gelateria" is Valencian-Catalan, with the same spelling that the Italian word. Their story starts in 1930 and they are artisans. In their menu, they offer some bizarre ice-cream varieties (Spanish omelette, mojito, gin-tonic, Red Bull...). In the image, Sebastià Llinares starting a family tradition. Llinares-6...823636.jpg Llinares-66fe446823636.jpg

Pham Thi Bac is a Vietnamese baker who sells these giant loaves for 4000 dong. He came up with this idea two years ago for fun and now they are all the rage. They weigh 3 kilograms and are glazed with butter, some with sesame seeds.

I mean... depending on what sauce they have used, this could be ok. A drizzle of chocolate sauce on top. I'd try it.
