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.
Yep. Some folks even eat rice for breakfast. (It's me, I'm one of those people. lol)

I'm zero waste and can confirm...This isn't a thing. Saving it to make broth better, soups thicker, water plants? Maybe. Coffee? This person did not understand the assignment.
Her tweet was replied to "is it good?" And she answered " no ❤️".
Load More Replies... Absolutely! Water scarcity in some places and lack of easy access to potable water in other places.
Load More Replies... Pasta for breakfast? Let's call it at least novel. And the starchy water is surely an acquired taste in coffee - not to mention it's SALTED (yuck - and if it isn't: double yuck for ruining pasta!). That water works great for a finishing touch in pasta sauce. If you're really ambitious/stingy: try actually re-using it for the next batch of pasta, that might be an angle worth exploring.
I did some research on the pasta water in sauce thing since I can never make it work, and neither can anybody else I actually know. Turns out it doesn't show up anywhere until about 2015. None of my 300+ cookbooks have it. None of the recipes I have collected from the internet. Pretty sure some troll came up with it to see how gullible people are. Now I even see some of the people on Food Network pushing it. If it's such a great trick why didn't it exist before 2015.

If you don't want to waste the water, then use the boiling water to pour over weeds in the garden. If you don't add salt to your cooking water, you can let it get cold, and use it to water the plants. (edited post to include the bit about salt. Thanks Nicole.)
Not sure how well the roses (or whatever) will respond to the salt in the water. Doesn't do much for the coffee either.

Reminds me of when my brother wouldn't flush the toilet because "he didn't want to waste water". He also believes fruits and veggies are better than modern medicine. Basically, he's nuts.
I know everyone is wondering about the coffee, but I'm wondering who cooks pasta for breakfast.....leftovers ok, but fresh cooked 🤔
Gross pasta water is so starchy! Great to save for the pasta you're eating to create sauces but coffee?? No thanks, I'll pass
What is wrong with people??? "We all have to join together and do our part and fight for what's right!" was drummed into them from day one, but "common sense" has never existed in their reality.
there are plenty of good uses for pasta water, zero waste aside, but for making beverages??? NOPE!
It's not but it's salted and starchy. Plus it tastes like pasta.

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

Apparently some people need thqt, so there: Salad: a cold dish of various mixtures of raw or cooked vegetables, usually seasoned with oil, vinegar, or other dressing and sometimes accompanied by meat, fish, or other ingredients. Ex. "a green salad"
From Merriam-Webster "salad noun sal·ad ˈsa-ləd 1 : any of various usually cold dishes: such as a : raw greens (such as lettuce) often combined with other vegetables and toppings and served especially with dressing b : small pieces of food (such as pasta, meat, fruit, or vegetables) usually mixed with a dressing (such as mayonnaise) or set in gelatin 2 : a green vegetable or herb grown for salad especially : LETTUCE 3 : a usually incongruous mixture : HODGEPODGE"

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.
