The only thing on that list that I've tried is Absinthe. It was absolutely horrible. It tasted like mouthwash mixed with rubbing alcohol.
Of course, I've heard that the quality of the absinthe matters, and the preparation. I had it with sugar and water like it's supposed to be prepared, but it was warm and gross. I live in Ontario where it is legal, but I think our brands suck.
As for the other stuff, no way. Life's too short to eat disgusting stuff.
