Cheese!
One of my earliest memories was on a family holiday to France, when I was about 3, and being abandoned on a dusty street in Saint Jean de Luz for a seemingly interminable time after refusing point blank to enter a fromagerie.

I'm actually not against all cheese. Melted mozarella is OK, basically because it doesn't actually taste or smell of "real" cheese in any way, and it's usually flavoured nicely with peperoni, mushrooms, onions and spicy beef.

But it is a complete mystery to me why anyone would, under any circumstances, put in their mouth a lump of crud from the bottom of a vat of mouldy milk, that has then been left on a shelf for a year to get even more mouldy, and then go on about how lovely and mouldy it actually is. Idiots. You can get worse by using goat's milk, which then stinks of cheese and goats.

Look at this: (From the Sun website).



You will notice that the fly is not actually eating the cheese. Flies have standards, you know.

So, that's my nomination. Cheese. The most disgusting food in the world, bar none.
