I was warned off natto.

It's funny, I can think of the worst drink (I dislike Negroni to the point I don't even understand how people like it, so intensely sweet and bitter and nothing else)

and the worst perfume (Im Nebbel, smelled like burning rubber) but food, all I can think of is the time my ex made a spaghetti with a sauce of yellow tomatoes that looked exactly like vomit, and when I was trying to eat it, commented that he thought it was "a little loose" and I just lost it, could not eat it, though it didn't taste awful.

Worst restaurant food was a Mexican place in San Antonio, got a chicken mole and the mole was made with sweetened chocolate chips; an enchilada with American cheese slice was another highlight of that meal, it was comically bad.

I did not find Nattō that bad actually. You need to spread it out over enough rice.

That said, I had a dish recently, stir fried prawn with Thai "stinky beans" that reminded me of Nattō somehow. To be fair they did warn me that it really was stinky when I tried ordering it. I insisted to try it anyway. It was really difficult to get down. It really did stink on my plate. I had to carefully ensure that no spoonful had to much of the bean mush. It was salty and gave the impression of decay.
