Yeah, I've eaten a lot of weird things, but at least they didn't taste like THAT.

Something you eat at a bar on a dare.

It's herring. Remember the old song, Catch a pickled herring?

Like chewing on rubber bands

It's repulsive.

Also sea cucumbers. Like eating rubber bands.

Though often it's a matter of how something is prepared.

In my case, it's the tongue's texture. And flavor.

Thought it would be very good, love seafood, but it was a no go.

Awful

IDK how the Aussies can stand it!

Seems it's one of those things people either love or hate.
I've always been curious try it.

So they're similar unless you like one but not the other

But yeah - that looks vile. lol

Same with natto. It makes me nauseous looking at it.

and had a counsellor from Australia. He brought Vegemite and my boy was brave enough to try it.....he was not a fan, but he was the only one to try it.

On my own while in Australia. I slathered it on like peanut butter on toast.... But it is VERY POWERFUL and is apparently supposed to be used very sparingly. So I tried again.... Just a hint of it with some butter.. and it was much better. Not so good that I ever tried it again, but better and tolerable. Has a very salty and strong taste.

I hate that stuff with a passion.

But then I make my own mayonnaise and aiolis. They are very different than any processed jarred mayonnaise. He loves it now as long as it is at home (and no, it's not to earn extra points with me!).

It was yellow curry--a favorite. Unfortunately it had canned pineapple pieces in it and nothing else. I wondered if someone's kid was cooking in the kitchen for a joke, but I got a serious bill--so no.

wrong.

Also, produce in abundance. Unfortunately, some terrible restaurants. There are some good ones, though. Lots of money wasted finding them.

Saurekraut (really, almost any pickled or fermented food), caviar, calamari, kale, apricots.
I'll stop there, there are to many other foods that I wonder how we humans eat this stuff, lol.

The worst pizza I've ever had was still pizza. The womenfolk here have one of those stones to cook the pizza in the oven, and they get these strange tasting pizzas. One had goat cheese on it with spinach. That might have been the worst pizza I ever ate.

My Aunt made it when I was a kid. My father made me try it. Gag.

Hands down. 🤮

Liver and onions. Kale. Soft boiled eggs.

They were vile. I love fresh carrots—pull them out of the garden and wash them with the hose. Delish.

just gross. Ick. Not for me.

DH eats it sometimes at a restaurant, he has to kiss me first because after that, no kisses for a few hours at least!

Same rule with creamed herring, which is also ick to me.

I know others may like these things, that's cool, they are just not things I can eat.

The piece of cod that passes all understanding (I stole this quote from an Old Lutheran tshirt my daughter gave me. Don't know how to attribute it)

Thanks!

It’s so acidic that it sets off alarm bells in my head - as if I’ve just ingested something caustic.

Secret ingredient in many cakes and cookies. Drink it, no way in hell.

Made this African sweet potato stew with spices that were totally unfamiliar and very hot 🥵. Her dog has a habit if circling the table begging for scraps and she strictly warned us to NOT give him any. I used the old trick of pushing it around the plate and eating the rice.

is too chewy and heavy. 😝 Full confession, I really, really dislike pizza 🍕 Here’s the deal: I won’t serve you lima beans if you promise not to make me eat pizza. 🥰

Yeah, well it has peanut and coconut and chili powder and and it was really crying hot.

I did not care for it.😳

As for me, liver as a child. Never again;

Raw oyster as an adult. Never again; and

Brussel sprouts - hard little balls of bitterness. I don’t care how they're prepared. Never again.

Tough and stringy…worse even than wild turkey, the bird, not the alcohol.

We used to do wild game nights. Snapping Turtle is better.

Uni, or sea urchin roe, is a premium Japanese sushi delicacy featuring the creamy, custard-like, and sweet-briny gonads of the sea urchin. Usually served as high-end nigiri or gunkan-maki (battleship roll) wrapped in nori, it is renowned for its rich, umami-packed flavor. Due to its delicate, labour-intensive harvesting, fresh uni is expensive, often costing over
$12 per piece.

Well, the piece I had may have been past it "best by" date. It was disgusting. it felt furry in my mouth, and tasted terrible. I love most kinds of sushi and sashimi, but this was hideous.

I've never been brave enough to try again.

Squash she had grown herself in our backyard. Farm-to-table does not necessarily guarantee good eating.

It was the most disgusting thing I ever ate. Revolting. You could have told me it was creamed locusts and grasshoppers, and I would have believed you.

And don’t start with any recipes. The whole point of brussel sprout recipes is to make them not taste and smell like sewage, which they do.

So many people have told me that I have to try them this way, that way, at this place or that place. Tried a few different versions and.....nope.

One of my grad students made them for a potluck. I guess it's an acquired taste-- they tasted like I imagine iodine would taste. Very medicinal.

Super high temperature counter top pizza cooker.
We make homemade pizza, but it work great on frozen pizza, as long as we let the frozen pizza sit out for an hour.
We buy a cheap thin crust, add extra cheese, onion, thin slices tomato, & garlic powder.
The Piezano heats the stone from the bottom at 800° & from above the pie at 700°.
3 minutes and the crust gets crisp, but still chewy.
One of the best kitchen gadgets we ever bought.
On homemade pizza, we get amazing results.

Served as an hors d'oeuvre. (I STILL HATE myself for putting that wondrous creature's little pickled tentacle in my mouth!)

I'd pretend to chew it, spit it out in my napkin, then drop it on the floor for our Irish setter.

I like many of the things people posted about, but I can't do organ meat, sea creatures other than shrimp, crab, and lobster, and raw fish or meat. Other than that I am an omnivore.

Tradition Greek ?Easter soup - ?Mahgritza.
Well, there were little hearts, kidneys floating in it! This is like 55+ yrs ago.


But I loved my cousin, and didn't want to disappoint her.
The heart? Eh. But the kidneys - ick!

Luckily my mom never cooked liver. Yet I love liverwurst; guess the herbs & spices counter rhe natural 😄 ?questionable taste.

I'd never have raw fish sushi, nor oysters!

And be careful at a Puerto Rican restaurant!
You want Monfungo - mashed fried green plantains w olive oil, garlic and ? but not
Mondongo - cooked chopped up tripe w whatever!
Two wrong letters - you in trouble!
No, never happened to me.

it tasted like Lysol-marinated rubber
