Despicable foods

[B_Stronzo]

Okay then. I'll begin.

I dislike anything in the "gruel" department.

I know it's very non-Anglo of me but I despise porridge, cornmeal, polenta and Cream of Wheat. It triggers a rather untriggerable gag reflex. And to me it's also what it must be like to eat warmed wallpaper paste. Bleeeech.

I don't particularly like veal either unless it's been "doctored" rather heavily with seasoning and wine.

Beyond that I don't truly dislike anything except for overly spicey foods.

Cooked cabbage, sauerkraut and prunes (thanks to ma grandmere)

I'll generally eat anyhing so long as it's dead, or at least not moving. Some horrors I've come across and some childhood and current dislikes

• Ocra
• Marmite
• Roasted Roaches (Cambodian river ferry)
• Artichokes
• Penut butter (but love Satay)
• Rat Foetus' (SE China)
• Warm Milk
• Tripe
• Pigs Trotters

I've eaten them all, and some other UGHs but not always knowingly.

d'accord.. je pense que ton grandmère était Québecoise, non?

 

[SpeedoGuy]

Tripe, menudo, needlessly spicy foods, anchovies that ruin an otherwise good pizza. And Cheez-Whiz will ruin any food it comes near.

One question then d20:

Do you like raw oysters?

and YES.. I, too, detest ocra!

*holds up the vegan card by way of a warning*

Anything with meat, fish, poultry, etc. in it, since I tend to see them as bits of hacked-off corpse rather than as food, and have a strange personal philosophy (instilled by an even stranger grandmother in childhood) that 'he who puts pieces of corpse in himself hastens along the path to becoming a corpse himself'.

And likewise anything with egg, which is just placenta in my mind's eye.

 

[basque9]

Squid, pigs feet , tripe and possum are the ones that come to mind! Not too fond of spinach either!

Ah alex. I envy you that status. Good man. I've spoken to several vegans in my circle and without exception that 'hacked-off corpse' is a common theme in the explanations I get. Do you think it's something developed or was it inborn?

Nevermind. The more I read the more I can see how it came to you.

• Ocra
• Pigs Trotters

Oh dude, I completely agree. They're absolutely horrible.

Penut butter

HUH!! I'm outraged. Peanut butter is probably the best thing mankind has ever thought of.

Roasted Roaches

I will certainly take your word on that...

No, she's German and Native American Indian. Got the French bug from my dad and it's been so long since i've spoken or written anything, i'd rather not embarrass myself:redface:

Come to Cape Cod! We dig them at low tide less than a mile from here and bring a shucking knife, cocktail sauce, lemon, and horseradish to accompany.

Fresh oysters and a setting sun are about as good as it gets (short of good screwing).

Yummay!

You couldn't luv. And you understood that perfectly. :wink:

I don't hate it, just dislike it, but like I said I love satay food...strange.

In Zambia it's often cooked into Cabbage.....:smile:

One day I expect. I have had loads of cockes, mussels,whelks etc yummy, are they in anyway alike? More 'working class' shellfish compared to Oysters methinks.....

Save some for me. I love oysters. New Orleans pre-Katrina is responsible for my introduction.

I was a vegetarian for many years, too long a story to tell about it's undoing. I could never make the leap to Veganism though. I don't have any moral qualms about eating animals, only about the way they are treated in life before they get to me.

That's a key part of why I don't eat much meat but as it's almost impossible to be sure of the 'provenance' of that drumstick that is mostly a wishful delusion.
