Create the worst dessert you can come up with!

[rah]

Putting a scoop of ice cream over an overheated brownie so the ice cream melts entirely. What a waste.

Wait, there's licorice flavored ice cream ?
I've never seen it in any store here, wasn't even avare that it exists.
Now I must find it.

I've never actually seen any, but it's got to exist. I'd never look for it directly, as IMO black licorice tastes horrible

I hate key lime pie. I hate green jello. I don’t much care for creme brûlée. However a significant part of disliking all three is the texture, so blending them to mix them together wouldn’t really work, I’d probably like it more. Maybe stacking each would be the worst.

Anyway there was that Filthy Frank video where they made that hair cake. That’s probably the worst dessert anybody has ever eaten in real life.

Licorice flavored ice cream does exist. The shop down the road from me sells it.

There's a burger place down the hill from here that sells licorice flavored milkshakes. I got two $3 discount coupons from Skip the Dishes in this morning's email, and this place is one of the restaurants affiliated with that service. So far I've only tried their breakfast menu, but have been meaning to try other items sometime. This would be a good opportunity to see if their licorice milkshakes measure up to one I had in BC, 40-some years ago.

Some black licorice tastes awful. Some of it's really, really good. There are many varieties. You've probably either had the tasteless kind or the sort that tastes like cough medicine.

Key lime pie is yummy.

What sort of varieties exist?

I actually did have one type of black licorice that was okay. But it was basically 10% black licorice (of some variety) and then 90% something else. So that weird medicine-like taste did not overwhelm the whole candy. I'm interested to hear what other kinds exist, if that isn't the only kind, because that kind of black licorice is IMO revolting

Salt cured prunes and anything with an artificial sweetener.

Anything with splenda. I once made the mistake of using it in my coffee 'cause i was out of sugar. I drank water for the rest of the day.

Cheesewater.

Put grated cheese in a mug, pour on hot water and stir.

I made it once and just the smell of it made me run to the toilet, gagging.

I applaud your fearless use of ingredients.

Doesn’t black licorice just taste like fennel?

@Valka D'Ur key lime pie is one of these things that people say really depends on the preparation, but even with very good key lime pie (or at least I’ve been told) I haven’t enjoyed it

Doesn’t black licorice just taste like fennel?

From my perspective, yes. I didn't make the connection until I had fennel for the first time at an SCA event. It was at a tournament, and someone was wandering around the site, sharing fennel with people. It was a welcome treat.

I guess I'm lucky, then. The bakery where I buy pies and cakes is very good. I don't think I've ever had anything there that I didn't like.

There has to be some constraints right? I still have a little bit of the engineering curriculum in me before I switched, constraints are important!

I mean if we could put literally ANYTHING into the "food", you could have anything from tar to lead to fecal matter. I'd imagine anything that fits broadly into the "tastes disgusting and will kill you without someone being able to save you" categorization would be a candidate for "worst".

One of the dogs I grew up with had a poop-eating habit. It got really bad. He would eat so much poop that he would throw it back up onto the carpet. Poop-vomit is profoundly gross.

So take the poop-vomit and deep-fry it. Then sprinkle it with denatonium benzoate, the most bitter compound known. And then put honey on top to make it sweet, because someone said desserts are supposed to be sweet.

In other words, I agree with the argument that there need to be constraints on what you can call a dessert.

My toddler was watching some "Do you like" nursery rhyme videos.

It was always two ingredients, don't remember what all they came up with, but from google I see: Spaghetti Yogurt, Pickle Pudding, Lasagna Milkshake and seems there was one about bananas (banana soup?)

I didn't want this to be a thing to kill someone, just a thing to be completely horrid to even taste. But I so appreciate your offers and gag at every second line. You ppl are inventive!

There are savoury dishes in sweet dishes, they are mixed in with different results. The rules are open, but grit and stones and sticks doesn't count as food.

I came up with the banana hotdog, a sourdough bun, with a banana (peeled or not peeled is an option) and some mustard on top, that must be goody? Not good enough, put some anchovies on top!

 

[inthesomeday]

That actually sounds kinda good

 

[gozpel]

Well you try irl and tell me! Unpeeled please, just for the experience.

 

[yung.carl.jung]

You can pickle anything. It's an essential step to creating disgusting dessert that is sure to induce vomiting!
edit:Ketchup-covered ice cream.
