Please feel free to nominate your own abomination but this will take some beating. In Britain Walkers, makers of crisps (chips to USAnians), have inflicted this Christmas horror on us:
Brussels Sprouts Flavoured Crisps
It beats Marks & Spencer's offering of Winter Berries and Prosecco crisps. What berries ripen in winter? The only ones that spring to my mind are holly.

We have fish flavoured chips here. They are expensive AND popular!!
A colleague had a lovely looking chocolate cookie the other day which she quickly spat out. A quick check of the ingredients revealed that it contained fish sauce!
Pass the Brussels sprout chips, please!

I like Brussel sprouts, I like Chips. Not sure I'd like the combination though.

The Guardian put a chef and a restaurant critic on the arduous tak of tasting Christmas foods from supermarkets. Here are some of their pungent comments:
a flabby texture with zero tang, like chewing on a flat tyre. 0 stars
Jay It’s not a pâté. It’s a dribbly, insipid liquid, and an insult to the words “lobster” and “thermidor”. File this under “when new product development goes wrong”. 0 stars
Coming to a bargain bin/landfill near you. 0 stars
tasted like toilet freshener
hideously sweet, chewy and sticky and left my teeth with a gummy residue that was impossible to remove. Well at least my jaw got a workout. ★
Ravinder Repulsive flavour of parma violets mixed with acetone, like an old lady’s delicates drawer. This went straight down the sink. 0 stars
reminds me of that time I got a bullet sized malaria pill lodged in my throat. ★
