Y'all are too picky. I can't think of anything that I don't at least tolerate. I've never had some of the crazy ethnic dishes like Lutefisk and whatnot, but everything can be prepared in a way that I will enjoy.
I just went back through the posts to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything, and I either enjoy or haven't tried everything posted so far.

ah ok, Ill...accept that..looks wierd as hell, by all means. To be perfectly honest? that pic you posted? reminds me of Alien for some reason haha^^Scars Unseen said:Fermented soybeans. Sticky, smelly and strong tasting. And for some reason, a lot of Japanese people love it.Lilikins said:what.....in all thats holy is..that?Scars Unseen said:Since I live in Japan, natto.
It smells worse than it looks.
Nevertheless, Id personally try it twice, if I dont like it the first...give it a try a few months later, if I dont like it then either, Im marking it off my list hehe
(but it still reminds me of Alien....)
I feel like my mind has just been violated.lax4life said:Qwurty2.0 said:
That picture is heresy and must be destroyed immediately.
OT: I'm less of a flavor guy, and more of a texture guy myself.
That being said, the flavor of cooked cucumbers, and snow peas, causes me to die on the inside. I cannot tolerate the flavor of either of 'em. Other than that, I think I'm fine with most anything else.
Oh, and olives too. Hate those things, have to take them off of my pizza whenever I get one.
I'll eat/drink pretty much anything except for powdered skim milk. Absolutely disgusting. My parents pretty much bought that exclusively for the first 5 years of my life and when we finally made the switch to normal 1% milk, it became my favourite beverage.
Also, one of my friends like to drink straight coffee creamer. I was pretty horrified when I saw him do that the first time.

That's what brennivín is for, balancing out the Hákarl.Mangod said:And then we have its older, meaner cousin with a prison record: Hákarl, or poisonous Shark that's been fermented for several months.
Take a swig, then take a bite, then another swig. it overpowers each other.
My personal gripe is with "Hrúts pungar" sour ram balls.
You and me both, man. I loathe eggs entirely, especially scrambled. Blech!Someone Depressing said:
Now, I do like it when eggs are mixed in with fried rice, provided the chunks are small.
I don't eat:
Raw meat, bloody meat, rotten food, strange body parts (eyes, heart brain etc).
Everything else is nutrition. Nutrition is a good thing.

If I can catch it or it stays still long enough I will eat it
Captcha: Red Herring, yes I will eat that too, or cut down the mightiest tree.

Avocado (or guacamole which in my mind since guac is made from avocados is the same damn thing). It especially sucks living in So Cal and not liking it because everyone likes it with everything (including my own mother) and then when I say I don't like it looks at me like I just blasphemed(which to them I have).
Tomatoes. I like em in fresh salsa. That's about it. I don't like their texture otherwise nor do I like their taste and the only reason I can eat them in salsa is the other spices that go into it. This might also have to do with my mother tricking me as a child and telling me that a tomato was an orange and then me biting into it and finding out it was a tomato and not an orange (though she denies that happening I have a very clear memory of it). Though apparently up until a year or so before that I use to love tomatoes......
Onions. Again, only in salsa. Can't even eat onion rings anymore (though that's true with most fried food now my stomach just doesn't like the grease).
Peppers. I LOVE spicy and hot foods. Absolutely love them. Can't eat peppers for the life of me. I can cook with them for flavour but after I'm done cooking, if there is no one there that likes em I have to throw them away.
Fast food. Jack in the Box is sometimes ok. As is In-N-Out. Everything else? Their food is too greasy for my tastes (and seriously what the fuck has McDonald's done with their fries that you now get not only an aftertaste of grease but your mouth and hands feel greasy for hours afterwards....? Most disgusting feeling in the world)
Fried Chicken. I use to bread and cook the shit. For a year and a half. In bulk. And had to taste test it. It is the most vile and evilest thing I can ever think of.
Ketchup on anything that isn't a hamburger, fries, or sausage of some sort(though even the latter is iffy depending on the sausage). I absolutely can NOT eat around some of my friends because of their insane love of slathering EVERYTHING with ketchup. I like it as a condiment don't get me wrong but I don't want to taste only that. I want to taste the food I'm dipping it in.
Sushi. I can't tell you how many sushi invitations I've declined this month alone already. The last time I tried it was "california rolls" which I've heard aren't real sushi anyway(but I've had other sushi besides that just can't remember because it's been forever...ok 10 years or so) and I got sick and threw up.
Salmon. I have had it prepared so many different ways and I always wind up in the bathroom afterwards puking my guts out. I was in a cooking school thing for work back when I was a cook and they did salmon one day and made me try it since I don't have an outright allergy to it and they didn't believe me until I spent the next half hour in the bathroom and they had to send one of the girls in after me.
Powdered Parmesan cheese. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? I LOVE fresh Parmesan cheese. But the powdered shit? Tastes disgusting, looks disgusting, smells disgusting and doesn't taste like Parmesan cheese.
Pineapple and Mango. The texture on both is off to me. I can't explain it, it just is. And the taste is horrible. And pineapple is so horribly acidic it upsets my stomach.
Coconut. Texture is weird in a bad way to me and it upsets my stomach
Milk chocolate and white chocolate. First off white chocolate isn't really chocolate. Secondly both upset my stomach horribly and I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP TRYING TO FORCE ME TO EAT BOTH OF THEM.
Mayonnaise/Ranch. This shit is vile and disgusting. I had to make it in bulk a few times when I was working as food prep/cook. I can't properly put into text how much I despise the both of these (ok actually only had to make the ranch but dear fuck do you know how much mayo is put into it??????)
And fucking American beer. I'm talking shit like Budweiser and Corona and Coors and the other shit that gets regularly advertised (yes Sam Adams too). How do people drink that piss water?!?!? And then tell me I'm weird because I like Canadian and UK ciders? At least those have a flavour other than someone pissing into their glass....
So yeah, basically I'm a horrible californian and don't know "good" food according to everyone else but they all marvel at my love of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, melons, oranges, frozen grapes (in the summer only), and blackberries.....Californians are weird....

What exactly do you count as a "strange" body part? Heart, brain, intestines, etc. is something that EVERY animal has.michael87cn said:
Personally I'm not a fan of brain because it's too fatty, and I prefer not to eat intestines because I know what's passed through there (I'll give you a hint, it's poop), but other than that there are very few animal parts that I won't eat. Liver, tongue, heart, aren't things that I eat often, but I do eat them on a fairly regular basis.
Your situation is actually quite common with guacamole. The sight of it denies you any enjoyment. Frankly I'm a firm believer in try it at least once, and this has affected my food variety greatly making me not very picky. I'm pretty much at the point that with in reason, if it doesn't taste good it just wasn't prepared correctly for you.
Aw man not to sound weird but the heart is like one of the best parts because of how lean and blood soaked it was. Like that stuff is plain good. Fish eye is eh. Not an experience to repeat but not that bad.michael87cn said:
Pretty much says it all, doesn't it? "It's perfectly edible... as long as you can't taste it."

I've never eaten testicles of any kind... at least that I know of.
This is my problem is I try something twice just to make sure because I know my tastes fluctuate and twice will tell me if I do or don't like something. Guacamole is one of those things people keep forcing on me. I USE to like it. Now, can't stand the smell of it or the taste of it. Since discovering I don't like it I've been forced into trying it at least 10 times. I mean I'm a firm believer in at least trying something once too but apparently the rest of Southern California I've met doesn't believe that I can know what I do and don't like and slather all my food in guac just to make me eat it. I've since learned not to go out to eat with certain people and to not accept food from them either.vIRL Nightmare said:
In regards to your last sentence, that can be true or it could be like me with salmon. There is NO way to prepare it correctly for me.
(Also I realise this was probably more directed to the OP than to me but it spoke to me and I had the urge to weigh in on it)
I don't quite get why you dislike the middle two but we'll have to agree to disagree, I definitley agree with the first and last one.Sean Hollyman said:
Also, green bell peppers (I like other kinds) and ridiculously spicy food.
