His Mom made "Croatian Baklava" and I could not bare to even pretend to eat it. It was gooey, horrible, and weird. And filled with some sort of mashed up nut goo. The pastry part of it was soaking wet and mushy. I guess I'm not a fan of Croatian food.
Ugh! And that my friends, is why you cook baklava a long time at low temps. If the individual layers don't dry in the oven, it just turns to goo when you pour the syrup on.
Probably the worst food I ever ate was canned baked beans. It was some generic brand. I was living in my car. I was SO HUNGRY, and opened this cold can of beans to eat. I was so hungry, I didn't even care that it tasted gross until I felt someone weird in my mouth.
IT WAS A FREAKING THUMBNAIL.
Not a clipping. A. Whole. Nail. ***harf***
Yeah. I didn't finish that can. In hindsight I probably should have checked the rest of it to make sure there wasn't a finger inside.
