But sometimes, you have foods that you don’t even need tastebuds to understand that it’s just flat out horrible. Either that, or it begs the question of why? And how? And probably many others. Just like it did this time. Except, it was a question for non-Americans about disgusting American food.

While by Reddit standards the post got a modest amount of upvotes, clocking in at nearly 4,000 upvotes, it generated a conversation of over 6,600 comments, and that’s definitely something.

No, it’s mostly subjective, and there’s actually a test for that.

If you grew up at the seaside, freshly-caught fish and seafood might be commonplace to you. If you were, however, raised vegan from the get-go, you might find raw meat stomach-churning. Maybe you didn’t grow up in a culture that fosters culinary traditions of fermentation and preservation.

And sometimes it’s even deeper than that, biologically speaking. We have a self-preservation mechanism, after all. Because of this, our brain might not let us enjoy food that might make us ill because it contains uncomfortable levels of bacteria, mold or flat out insects.

To top it all off, associative experience might also kick in, and if you got dumped while eating at McDonald’s, then that particular thing might just ruin the McDouble with a large coke and fries for you. Or if you got the kids meal, it’s good-bye to Angry Birds.

Sure, having the right mindset in terms of food—especially if it’s washing and cooking it properly, avoiding cross-contamination and whatnot, but bashing someone for honoring their culture (and maybe genuinely liking rotten salted fish) leaves a bad taste.

Currently, there’s also a temporary dangerous food exhibit that includes meals made from naturally toxic organs, containing chemicals like cyanide and which are naturally dangerous to eat unless you let it cook properly. Nobody wants an octopus to come alive whilst ingesting it.
