chicken feet. Not the legs. The feet. They were part of the Saturday chicken soup my mother would make...they were added for flavor but we ate them too.

Escargot
 

Pickled herring...

I hope to never have to have that ever again.

McDonalds :fart:

Balut...right up there in "Ew" [I wanted to impress my philipino g/f]
~shudder~

I never did like Avocado, but I do like guacamole...
When I asked for guacamole once in a Family gathering, my aunts stared at me, and I caught a smirk from my uncles, and my mother...
My cousin asked me if I was enjoying the guacamole, and I nodded, mouthful of chips..
Everyone in my family knows I despise avocado..
Soooo, mum smiles, rests her chin on her palm and asks "do you know what guacamole is?"
I did, but I played along..
She snickered and said "avocado"..I shrugged and told her "Yeah, but this ~waves chip with Guac~ has a buncha seasonings, garlic and I think olive oil right?"
~collective mumble~

Btw, Uni ?...I avoid it like the Plague as well...it's sea urchin gonads...

I used to associate Liver with a mouthful of beach sand...I can't eat it now anyways if I wanted to...

Pecan Pie is nasty...I'll pick off the Pecans and eat 'em, but that Gooey stuff under it? Tastes like congealed sugar water...

Lobster, terrible...Every time I decide "i'll give it one more try", I instantly get this flashback of when a Wave caught me by surprise, and I tumbled in its wake, landed on the Beach facedown{ I swallowed a lot of seawater}....

not too fond of the...

I watched them make blood pudding on a TV cooking show. A woman shared her family recipe, and she and the host were just delighted with the crimson results. Apparently, it's a favorite of her family. Made with lots of blood (sheep, cow? don't recall) and oatmeal. Stuffed into stomach pouches of (cow, sheep?) and boiled. This woman's recipe is supposed to be wonderfull because it retains that strong, bloody, irony flavor. It's probably an amazing health food, but...it looked awful.

The look of certain food makes it impossible for me to get past what I see to actually tasting. I actually like squid and escargot, but I can't handle the way they look.

ew, ew and a little ew on the side, tyvm!

my mama would make me eat liver (cow and chicken both) as a child. i would cut it into the smallest bite possible and dump about 1/2 cup of ketchup over it then swallow without chewing.

just lost my bagel and cream cheese ... :tease::eek:

Oml... I love tripe-pigs feet-rocky mountains oysters- real oysters- sushi- liver- octopus- (and squid) tongue- kimchi- chicken feet (so so but fun to peck at... ha), pickled herring (MMMm)

.... add to that fried fish eyes, blood sausage, beef heart, gizzards, tendon soup (Pho style), fried baby bees, sardines and you've got a partay... ;)

The food I hate... boiled carrots, almost enough to make a peep yak... gah...

(though Strappy I sympathize w/ you on the Lutefisk being from MN too I knowwww what you're talkin' about... *yikes*)

I admit I've never had boiled peanuts, vegemite, escargo, goats head soup (bet it's good!) etc... or a human arm... :l (jeez Keri lol)



*sez Metro who doesn't really eat a lot of meat anymore but not because it doesn't taste good*

Ate some maggots that was in a stuffed pepper unknowingly! YUK!

Liver...or any organ meat. Cottage Cheese. Blood sausage. Chinchulines. Collard Greens. Turnip Greens. Poke Salat.

Gross. Gross GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

As a child I also covered food my parents made me eat with tons of ketchup.

I did that with my Grandma's scrambled eggs (ketchup), she said there was a "secret ingredient"... I forget what it was but from the taste I remember I'd guess a teaspoon of gross... heh

I still don't really like scambled eggs.


The last time I ate it I was sick at my stomach for 2 days. We are parillada at an Argentine restaurant in Los Angeles, and I had not had any since I was a kid...it about killed me!

Oh and the blood pudding in England??? There is no wayyyyyy!

I think the problem may not have been the Blood Sausage itself. :)

LOl - I love beets. Especially pickled beets. But I will eat them anyway they come. I once peed red I'd eaten so many beets. Beets yum.

I love fried oysters but I absolutely cannot eat a raw oyster. Makes no sense. But I have yet to eat one. I just can't do it. I look at that slime and I just can't do it. So it is the yuckiest thing I have refused to eat.

I laughed when I read your post because it took me years to get used to American Chocolate. Its something to do with the wax put in it. I have to go to World Market to get my flake and crunchie fix. I miss real cream cakes sooooo much. I also miss eccles cakes. Luckily I now have three stores in town when I can get English chocolate: the local grocery store has a British section, World Market, and then a new store I found called Specs. They even have Garibaldis which I hadn't eaten in years. Ooh and I miss fresh cod roe. They just don't sell it here. I could murder a half pound of cod roe on toast right now. I need to get off this thread lol.

I would have to say Menudo. It's a Mexican soup made with beef tripe. It was like eating melted lard. Not so sure how it could be good for a hangover because I wouldn't be able to keep it down.

Try the cajun ones, they rock. I love boiled peanuts, but definitely an acquired taste. We have a boiled peanut man that comes to our office once a week. Happy days!

Mmmm, I had a dozen raw on Satuday. Good. Stuff.


As for the dislikes: Okra, liver, cauliflower, most anything pickled other than, well, pickles, corn.


I've definitely done better as an adult on cutting the dislikes down. It used to be most veggies, as well as yummy goodness like sushi.

head cheese on rye

ok
Ew to:
head cheese, and Spam [i dont eat it for personal reasons rather than Ew]

Morcilla is PR style blood sausage...Yummmm.....


Menudo is nasty....but a necessary evil..

I have to say, so far? Oysters. Don't recall much from my squid taste testing other than it was chewy :|

And I think everything listed above and 4 pages back I won't be trying anytime soon. Just the thought of eating animal organs - blech!

VanCamps beane weenies *BARFS*

A fue years ago I busted up my knee and couldnt get up to cook.I love my son dearly but the boy cant boil water..dont, unless u have to save his mojo eat his cooking..thank goodnees for take outs.

Now as for my all time grosse out...I can't eat coconut...I like coconut smelling perfumes,shampoo, ect, on girls of them femme varity, I can even drink coconut milk.I CANNOT eat coconut meat...just thinking about the texture= :twitch: :hospital-snoopy:

Several years ago when I was still with my ex-wife, I came home from work one night and she had cooked dinner for us. She told me and my daughter that it was chicken nuggets. I took one bite and it was one of the grossest things I have ever tasted. It turned out to be fake soy nuggets. Bletch.

[FONT="Century Gothic"]Pineapple... I hate it! Can't even stand the smell....[/FONT]

tuna noodle casserole made in the microwave with nonmicrowavable noodles (this was back in the 80's) it was like eating paste:canadian:
