Well, my first one, as a teenager, was thinking putting marmite in coffee might be nice... Nope!
My second one, recently, was accidentally making tea with the descaling water from the kettle, full of citric acid and dissolved limescale. Truly horrible.
This evening, I found something worse than these. Worse even, than if these things in some nightmare scenario, were combined!
Ready?
Rancid ramen. (You know ramen, those instant noodles that come with a packet of mysterious but nonetheless delicious powder)
Apparently my nose doesn't detect "rancid" and only registers it as "a bit stale". Not that I checked in the first place - why would I? So the noodles were only a year past their best before date as I found after the event. Not something that would normally bother me.
So I'm munching away, thinking, these really do seem rather on the stale side. I must have eaten half the bowl before I decided that actually they had a horrible chemical taste and seemed to be burning my tongue slightly and I could not bring myself to eat any more. So the remainder went in the bin. I like a fried egg with my noodles. Even the egg had become inedible!
Well I've eaten crisps, prunes, Gorgonzola, various biscuits, drunk strong coffee, eaten more biscuits, shortbread, and it must be 4 or 5 hours after the event and I can still taste it! Even worse, I keep getting er, "reminders" every so often. And I know I'm not going to sleep well after that coffee...
So take it from me, don't ever eat rancid ramen! You will regret it, I promise. Even more than your other bad food mistakes.
