For me, a food has to have more than a bad taste to be truly disgusting. Black licorice? Yuck, but I could eat it if I had to. Same with most foods I don't enjoy the taste of.
To me, it's about taste AND texture, which is why I find mussels (of all varieties) so highly offensive. Not only do they taste like shit, they are visually unappealing and have the consistency of eating phlegm. One of the only exceptions I can think of is Marmite. I didn't have a problem with the texture, the taste was just absolutely horrid. Blech.
