Have you ever had a conversation with someone about your favorite food or drink, only to have them turn their nose up in disgust? "Ew, how on Earth can you possibly enjoy that?" they might say. "It's gross!"
And they're well within their rights. After all, taste is highly subjective; just because someone doesn't enjoy a particular flavor or texture doesn't mean it's not delicious to others. Right?
Well, the Instagram account 'Most Offensive Foods' is here to challenge that notion. As its name suggests, this fun little online project is on a mission to find objectively terrible dishes, and it's not holding anything back. From brewing coffee with pasta water to a Doritos and Mountain Dew cheesecake, continue scrolling to check out the abominations.

I luv how these r all(i think) american brands EDIT 1: Thanks y’all for 39 upvotes + creating a whole conversation of replies!
I remember this. Someone asked them if it was good and all they replied was "no". LOL.
The fact that these jello monstrosities are called 'salad' disturbs me more than anything.
The term ‘salad’ covers a very wide range of foods. It doesn't just mean lettuce. Fruit salads, pasta salads, savorys like egg salad and shrimp salad, jello salads both sweet and savory, and vegetable salads with or without lettuce. Get outside your bubble more.

They just had to add the mayo on top, just in case you were not getting sick from the description yet.
Is this really a thing? I feel like this is a mash up of two different salads maybe?
This looks like it should be studied in a level 4 lab before it gives us all a disease.
I actually really love this dish, when it's made right. The picture is a great example of NOT right. Looks like she puts it all in a blender.

I may have had a version of this that didn't involve mayo, and it wasn't as horrible as it sounds.
Reading the description actually sent a shiver down my spine and derailed my facial expression for a moment.
Whe done correctly, they're not that bad looking. This looks like barf 🤮
I thought that was straight vomit from 5 people that was frozen and shaped, and then called it a salad...
That looks like something you'd find on the pavement outside the pub on a Friday night. Minus the mayo.
My great aunt used to make a Jell-O "salad" that was lemon Jell-O, cucumbers, and onions. Seriously
And ur mom is prob going to die of a heart attack the next time she eats this c**p.
I’m glad Jello salads went away. But making Jello as a kid was a treat.
The ingredients sound like they would taste well together, but I think the presentation needs work is probably the kindest way I can put it
These are generally special ordered fur new baby gender reveal Parties or for baby showers. Never see them in stores.
7-up cake and mt dew cake are both actually very good. Not sure why everyone is hating on them. They are very tasty, moist lemony sort of flavored cakes. Like lemon bread.
I would happily try this. Probably with a spoon handy when it falls apart, but I'd eat it.
I know this sounds gross, but I have this delicious sweet 'n sour cocktail hot dog recipe. My mom refused to tell me what was in it (my step aunt made it) until I was older... ketchup and grape jelly. You literally melt them together. And if I had known I would've barfed, but listen - I loved it, and still do. Sometimes weird combos work.
No - I really shouldn't comment.... though it is very tempting
I love how this has no name - as it really is indescribable
This is actually not as bad as it sounds! It's quite common in the Netherlands. It's called "leverkaas" or literally, liver cheese. No clue why it's called "cheese" as there's no cheese in it at all!
Why not? It's probably just the flavor, not actual gum. I've had bubblegum flavored fudge before. Recently had jelly donut flavored, too!
If we would just let pizza be pizza, there would be world peace.
Ahhh.... one of those crafty arty puzzles..... you have 30 seconds to find the bagel.
Maybe uncommon in the US and europe, but in some parts of asia it's normal food

Most of these seem fine, TBH. (I'm not sure why there are several hand sanitisers on the list, either. They're not "dishes" and adding a fragrance so it doesn't smell like raw alcohol seems a fairly straightforward idea.)
I think it's more it seems like a really good way to get a child to drink hand sanitizer...

I wouldn't even touch the other slop, but I have had coffee cheese, and it's incredibly delicious! I keep looking for it here in my area, but haven't seen it for a couple years now. It must have been a fluke order or delivery to my favorite grocery store at the time, but I sure wish it would come back.
so basically what we need is for Gordon Ramsay to invade the USA and force all americans to go on cooking lessons so that they do not produce abominations like this ever again. /joke <- for people with no sense of humour.
I love how BP makes a post about people being offended over the dumbest things and then makes a post about "offensive" food. Yeah, they were pretty offensive.
