Worst thing you've ever eaten?

What's the worse thing you've ever eaten? Eating spiders as a child, never knew any thing different - I've eaten dog and cat food as a child, and I'm sure I find it nicer than some meats and vegetables!

That reminds me, almost drowning in the bath. I didn't eat the bubble bathy water, but I swallowed it :shock:

Ive done that before with soap,(and it wasnt even Lush soap) so it didnt taste very nice:|

Mouldy mayonnaise was pretty rank. My mum refused to believe that it being 3 months out of date was a problem, but it had full-on mould in it and I ate a large mouthful before I noticed :(

Some of the things the school call food are pretty horrible too. And I once ate PVA glue as a kid... don't ask why.

I hate it when your halfway through a sandwich and you realise the bread you are eating is mouldy!

I think the worse thing I ate was an egg sandwich from school (I know I shouldn't trust school dinners) and it had half the egg shell in it!! I thought 'I'm sure egg doesn't normally crunch!'

I was eating dinner at school recently with my friend and her brother and he had one of those tortilla breads with black bits in it that were herbs or something. He said, "there's a squashed fly in my tortilla" and we all said "don't be stupid" but I had a look and there actually was a squashed fly on it... really rough.

I've found myself eating mouldy sandwiches a few times too. And frozen salad at school, lettuce should never be frozen.

Eurgh! a fly? thats bad and frozen salad? I didn't know you could freeze salad! Our school has alright dinners on a Monday but then as it gets to Thursday everything is just leftovers and normally is mouldy and stale

I eat school meals 3 times a day 5 days a week, sometimes more days than that.

They keep the salad in a chilled area in metal containers, so the stuff at the bottom freezes, and the tomato and lettuce turns to mush while the raw carrots become lethal missiles. The main meals are usually disgusting brown mush. 5 years of boarding though and I'm pretty much used to it.

Lethal missiles!! haha i like it!

I don't know how you put up with school meals, and for 5yrs!

I've always wanted to try out a boarding school for a week just to see what it was like, what is it like?

I was in Boarding School for a week,it was a seperate bit to my old school(I had no option cos my rents were in the US) I didnt like it and couldnt wait to get home.

Boarding only suits certain types of people. Some people really can't cope cos they don't like the routine and the lack of personal space and having to share TVs and things. I personally have found it's been great. I've got some great friends - as well as a lot of people I don't really like - but I get to see my friends at all hours of the day. Generally when people first start boarding they treat it like a sleepover, but it's really not like that. I'll miss boarding though. My school is within a city though, and I go home at weekends, and it's mixed. I couldn't cope being stuck in a single-sex boarding school in the middle of nowhere, it would be horrible. We can go down the shops or into town or to the beach really easily, so it's fun.

beach? I'm soooo jealous!

I see boarding school having more respectful people because you don't have any personal space. I'm just at a normal everyday school (well i say normal but its far from it) Nobody has respect for other peoples stuff, even if its a pencil, people will go out of their way to break or steal it!

I don't think i could handle a single-sex boarding school, i think you need to be friendly with the opposite sex!

Stony beach.... so it's not that glamourous. Just a nice place to walk and talk and sit when it's sunny.

Most people really don't respect others. The girl nextdoor to me is often on the phone, people play loud music late at night, leave the communal kitchen in a complete mess -- jam all over the microwave (how?!) and expect their washing up to get done for them. It's a big problem, and being a House Prefect I have become quite unpopular with the younger kids cos I have to tell them to shut up and go to bed and stop chucking water around and things. And the computers are shared so can't get on the Internet easily but people are really selfish.

I see myself as a respectful person, I am quite considerate. I spent 20 minutes cleaning out the toaster the other day, whilst everyone else just leaves it jammed.

And we have had some theft problems. Some idiots say "I left my iPod in the common room 3 days ago and it's been stolen!!" ditto wallet, phone...

Wow it doesn't seem so appealing now! I'd still prefer it than my school though, I mean its actually threatening to be closed again! The amount of times I've been abused by little kids who come up to my knee!

Sometimes I wish the rumour of people getting there heads flushed down the loo was true because I would love to flush most of the students!

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
