Foods you hate?

[MichaelinChina]

Agreed; anytime you crack open an egg and find a beak staring at you, you are definitely justified in hurling - I did...

Oh so you would not like the eggs with the chicken embryo (intentionally) in it?

I hate pig intestines fried up....just too chewy to digest.

The only meat better than fruitcake is pussy.

My wife swears I eat anything. The secret to awful food is how you cook it.

A year in Vietnam cured me of three major problems: One was food, we stole cases of C rations from the army to survive. Air Force chow was bad everywhere I went. A year in Vietnam greatly improved my mom's cooking skills. The 2nd problem was women. Before Vietnam I was pretty picky about American girls. But in just one year all of them became beauty queens. The 3rd problem was WHAT MATTERS. In Vietnam I got hurt bad with a fractured skull and a mouth fulla broken teeth (the VA lost my medical records in a fire and swear my disaster never happened). The pain was intense at the time. It took six months to repair my mouth, but at the time I got two aspirin from the medic, and put on a list to see someone in a week. That week taught me how to ignore pain. A sip of water was hell.

New York pizza is fucking horrible

Pizza! I haven't had a good pizza since I left Chicago back in the '70s!

When I as young, a long time ago, I hated all kinds of food. But as I sit here, I can't think of a one...oh! Cabbage. Boiled Cabbage. The smell of it would make me sick.

Now that I'm older, a long time from being young, I have tried and liked things I would have never thought I would like. Sushi, comes to mind, except I never heard of sushi until I was well into my 50's.

Of course there are things I haven't tried just because I really don't want to...chitterlings comes to mind...I have no desire to eat pigs intestines.

Correct - I'd rather chew the leg off a leper...

 

[NOIRTRASH]

On second thought chitterlings are pretty nasty fare. Pronounce it CHITTLINS and spell it CHITTERLINGS.

 

[beachbum1958]

sheep's eyes
snake
pickled eel
prairie oysters
kimchi
thousand-year eggs

(I attended a few too many diplomatic dinners in remote countries.)

In my experience, any time one is offered any of the above horrible things, especially the sheep's eyes, and told 'try it, it's a local delicacy', or 'please do try these steamed hyena snouts stuffed with macerated iguana, they're delicious!'check to see who else is eating it; if none of the locals are, neither should you, it's a scam called 'let's see what this idiot will swallow'. I've eaten too many weird and disgusting things in jungle clearings in the waste spaces of the world, and formal receptions in countries a million miles from anywhere to ever be taken in by that one; my first response is always 'Really? After you, please' and that's when you find out what's what.

My wife, a Southern girl, fries those nasty thing crisp and insists on offering me some, even though she knows I hate even the thought of 'chit'lins' but she still does it, just to watch me go green.

Hallelujah!
Someone else who hates it.

Actually, I'm not keen on most vegetables. Peas & Carrots - OK.
Swede, Turnips or anything like 'em is ghastly.

 

[Penuche]

Aspic or savoury jelly (texture)
Baked beans (texture)
Onions (to be precise, my body hates them)

My old man wouldn't eat them, and he ate everything. But chitlins smells too nasty cooking. I spose its like most things. I love cane syrup and my kids hate it, but I started my grandson on it as a baby, and he likes it.

 

[beachbum1958]

I love brussel sprouts!

I can't deal with coconut. It's just eww.

And I like peanuts by themselves, but not in stuff like don't put them on my sundae or in a candy bar.

Oh and avocado! Ewww! I do like guacamole though, figure that one out.

Yogurt is a huge no. Just the smell of that sour crap makes me want to hurl. My oldest daughter wrote a poem about yogurt when she was little.
Yogurt is disgusting
Yogurt isn't cool
Yogurt is the nasty stuff
They serve to us at school

My granny made an awesome fruit cake. She made it and then put it in a tin and would leave it in the tin for like a week with a cloth soaked in southern comfort. MMMMMMMM

I love Brussels Sprouts too; cooked with bacon and chestnuts at Christmas, they're unbeatable. The day after Christmas Day, I mash the leftover sprouts together with the leftover roast potatoes and fry it gently in a thick cake, browning it crisp on both sides; it's called 'bubble & squeak', and with sweet-cured bacon, Cumberland sausage, and fried eggs, makes the perfect post-Christmas breakfast.

I agree on the avocado thing though; I once asked the nutritionist at the hospital how it was that something so green could taste so brown...

I'm not a lover of rich fruit cake, but my wife is; she makes her Christmas cake end of October, from my great-great Grandmother's 1880 recipe, and leaves it in a sealed tin in the cold-room; every day she pricks holes in it and drips a mix of white whiskey, spiced black rum and sloe gin into it.

Offal of any sort repels me, but especially liver, it's gross, but liver paté is delicious, go figure...

 

[lovecraft68]

Not sure it counts as a food, but when I used to train hardcore there were these shakes I used to have to drink and...oh ugh. Even holding my nose while I chugged them I'd still have to fight the gag reflex, just fucking nasty

 

[Bramblethorn]

My partner has some sort of magic ability that allows her to cook edible Brussels sprouts. I didn't believe it until I tried them.

Things I have eaten:

Fermented shark
Sheep's head, eyeball included
Whale (NOT intentionally; if you're ordering a mixed platter in Iceland, check ingredients carefully)
Witchitty grubs, cooked and raw
Green tree ants (actually quite nice)
Crocodile
Emu

There are things I don't eat for ethical reasons, but aside from that my main exclusion is onion. Onion and I are... not compatible.

 

[ishtat]

I love East Asian food but draw the line at Miso soup which is revolting. Miso can come in all sorts of forms depending substantially on its age/ fermentation. Not only vile in itself the Japanese plonk otherwise perfectly acceptable additional ingredients in to ruin them as well.

Pilot's right about Kimchi. Years ago I had a month fixing up a contract in Incheon. I only remember the tonnage of Kimchi! Like Miso it can have heaps of different things added, but it is still Kimchi.

Don't care for Beetroot or Prunes either.

I recollect eating Brussels cooked a bit a bit like Beachbum's. An old crone in a village near Cividale - in Friuli, NE Italy, parboiled them then, chopped up a piece of ham fat (from one of those air dried hams hanging from the ceiling), then she fried them gently for a while, then turned them out. Finally her masterstroke - she used an ancient hairdrier to blast off most of the fat which also crisped the outer leaves slightly. Old crone yes, but a cooking genius. Served as a starter - absolutely delicious. There might have been a hint of garlic as well but I didn't see her put in in.

The only thing wrong? Is now I love it. There is no better meal than corned beef & cabbage. MMMMmmmm.

Tastes change.

 

[OmnislashXX]

I'm generally hesitant to try anything new, but for the most part, I'll eat it unless it's stringy.

One food that I can not absolutely abide by though is Sushi. I have a gag reflex when it comes to even attempting to eat it. The same happens with large portions of crab meat. I can eat it a litte bit but the sweet taste of it ends up making me gag.

I also love Spaghetti but hate Angel Hair noodles. They're like eating fine paste.

My wife had the same problem with Sushi. But I got her to try a California roll, which had no fish in it. She love those. Then she tried the cooked shrimp on a roll of rice. She loved those too. Then she got brave and tried the tuna Nigiri. She loved those also. She now eats Sushi when ever we go to the Sushi bar.

I'm just the opposite with spaghetti, I only like the Angle Hair. The rest is way to thick.

 

[rjordan]

I'll eat any veggie except brussel sprouts and beets. I've been a vegetarian for 50 years. Liking veggies is sort of a precondition for that. I have no moral or ethical problems with people eating meat.

I don't eat animal products or any packaged food with more than 4 ingredients. Seeing packaged meat is revolting to me, but smelling meat cooking is actually pleasant. I lived with an animal rights activist for a few years and she took me on "fact finding" trips to help her collect evidence. If I wasn't a vegetarian before, that would have convinced me to be.

 

[Hypoxia]

Chickens deserve to be eaten.

Vegetarians only eat animals too small to see.

"The West wasn't won by eating salad," proclaim USA beef ranchers. No, the West was won by eating beans and corn dodgers (with bugs) and rodents.

I'll skip the prairie oysters, thank you.

 

[FelicityJohns]

Turnips and their greens.

 

[jomar]

I'll go with bananas and Lima beans.

He's fond of sweet potato splits, too. A big yam with a big banana in it, pickled beets atop it, and smothered with Miracle Whip.
