Gross things...
« on: January 26, 2005, 11:43:32 AM »
The whole discussion of Haggis yesterday got me thinking... what foods can you just not deal with?  Now I don't want people fighting  over why or why not.  I was just wondering what those foods you consider (to use ExpatinScotlands word...) BOAK! :)

I personally like most foods or can tolerate them depending on how they are cooked. I will also eat most things if I am in public or at someones house out of politeness... I just choose not to make them in my house.

I do not like Marmite (except Twiglets/Walkers Crisps odd but true)

Orange cheese goo...like cheese whiz, movie theater cheese on nachos, and now more more I can't eat Velvetta.  It's just so gross when it congeals.... and it's just not cheese...it's like eating a stick of pseudo lard. :-X

Okra when it is reaaaaaally slimey.

Frozen battered fish where the fish has turned to mush and formed some odd paste substance.

Canned meat products or by products....

Canned veg ...except corn and beans.

Catfish that tastes of mud...

well that's my list for now...

Have you ever tried that Japanese delicacy - fermented tofu? Smells very strongly like puke ... I couldn't even taste it when it was offered to me ...

I am actually freaked out by avacados-but not in guac, and not whole.  But to see someone cutting them in half, with the big old pit rearing it's ugly head.....it FREAKS me out.

Caviar, more expicitly, the big orange (and little orange) fish eggs in sushi.  I love sushi, but not those.  the way they pop in your mouth.  YUCK.

i know there are so many more.

Black pudding

Kim Chee (Korean fermented cabbage)

There's more food I really dislike but nothing I'm really grossed out by.

all kinds cold that are supposed to be eaten warm/hot.

worst of all cold potato and pasta salad - swimming in slimy mayonnaise ... YUCK ... makes me choke 'cause it looks like thrown up stomach contents (I have a yuckier description but better keep my mouth shut)  :o

MSG - ANYTHING with MSG, and aspartame.  Yuk.  Leaves this horrid chemical aftertaste and gives me indigestion.
