Spinoff, foods you won't eat and why

[Anonymous]

Eggplant and okra--both for the same reason--texture.

[Anonymous]

I will eat absolutely anything except sardines.

[Anonymous]

Sauerkraut, or pretty much anything made from cooked cabbage. I can't even bear to sit at the same table as someone eating sauerkraut.

Me too on the eggplant-just never liked it. However if I was served some as a guest in someone's house I would have a few bites. I'm not allergic. Maybe they might have found a way to prepare it that elevated it in some way (although I doubt it). However, it is annoying to lord your food preferences over others as if they make you a better person. That's great if you are a vegetarian but it doesn't mean someone who enjoys a Big Mac every now and then isn't going to Heaven like you.

I promise all of you I could make lima beans and brussels sprouts for you that you would eat

Me- I hate Mayo with a passion. Same goes for Tofu.

I am fine eating the adult version of animals - just want them to have a chance to grow up (before they are slaughtered and made into my dinner).

And organs that are designed to filter waste/poison from our bodies - I'll pass.

I have the same aversion to eating baby animals. I won't eat rabbit because I had one as a pet as a little girl.

The only thing I WON'T eat is hard boiled eggs, even if the Queen of England served them to me I wouldn't eat them. They are nasty, and even the smell makes my stomach turn.

Lots of things I really don't care for, but would eat if served as a houseguest -- tapioca, cream of wheat, grits. other things that some have mentioned.

Brussels sprouts. The smell makes me vomit.

Lobster in its original form. I love lobster rolls and I like lobster meat in other things, but I've eaten it whole exactly once in my life and man, was I creeped out. (even worse, I was meeting my boyfriend's parents for the first time and had to pretend everything was cool.) I also won't eat soft-shell crabs, and while I've eaten crayfish (whole), I wasn't wild about the experience. I also won't order fish unless it's filleted - having the head on, especially the eyes, is just unnerving. I just think it's barbaric; I don't want my food looking at me. And I won't eat any meat raw. Not sushi, not beef tartare.

I also hate cooked carrots. Something about the texture and the sweetness makes me gag. Same with parsnips. I love raw carrots, though. And I love cooked broccoli but hate raw broccoli. I also don't like onions in anything but french onion soup - they have to be carmelized and all soft and melty before I eat them.

Otherwise, I eat pretty much everything.

Beef, mad cow disease. They are lying about it's prevalence (FDA, DOA), and too many of my vet friends avoid beef for that reason.
Trans fat, coronary artery disease.

Do you make an exception for open range grass fed beef? How about Kobe beef?

I am a bit concerned that the cause may be something else, since in Europe some farmers said that they never fed the cows with brains.

Chronic wasting disease (Mad Cow) seems to be a result of a cannibalistic diet.
"Chronic Wasting Disease is a form of spongiform encephalopathy that occurs in deer, elk and moose. The same condition is known as Mad Cow Disease when it occurs in cattle and scrapie when it occurs in sheep. Beef lovers recall that Mad Cow Disease found widespread media attention several years ago and resulted in the slaughter of thousands of beef cattle, mostly in England, and approximately 200 confirmed cases in humans, including three in the United States. It is widely accepted that the cattle developed the disease from eating feed that had cattle remains in it, or in other words, cannibalism. The condition called spongiform encephalopathy is characterized by spongy spots in brain tissue and is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease when it occurs in humans. It was named for the scientists that identified the condition after studying cannibals in Papua New Guinea who were afflicted with a condition they called kuru"

Beets

The texture freaks me out.

Lima beans, o.k. Beets make me gag because they taste like dirt. I won't eat anything a beet has touched and my DH loves them but he if eats them he has to brush his teeth before I will kiss him. Ugg!
