Spinoff, foods you won't eat and why

Anonymous
sweetbreads.
bundagee (basically fried crunchy bugs - it's a Korean delicacy)
larvae (in mushrooms, it's another Korean delicacy)
anything that is still moving (again, a Korean thing).

I have been to Korea 6 times, and love most of the food. It's those delicacies that get me.

Haggis and liver

I suppose I would eat almost anything, having lived a few years away from large choices of food. It's easy to be able to say, I wouldn't eat this because this animal is cute or this animal makes a sad frowny face when it's being killed. However, when you're hungry....you really don't care what face it makes.

When people say they won't eat liver, do they mean the typical cow's liver and onion preparation (moderately repulsive, in my book), or do they also include foie gras, which ranks in the top five most delicious things on earth (at least as far as I'm concerned)?

I include foie gras-- never eaten it, and never will.
It just makes me sad.

flan, creme brule - gross, gross texture. It just creeps me out. I also hate beets and oysters. I don't eat lamb or duck b/c I don't really like the taste.

I don't eat grains, added sugar in any form, legumes, or dairy. Anyone else here eat paleo, like this nice lady with the awesome body? http://everydaypaleo.com/

I have tried - hard, and many times - to eat blood sausage. It doesn't matter the nationality or origin - I can't do it. Like many others, it's the texture - and then the realization of where the texture comes from . . .

Foie gras? Hell no.

i think duck and lamb smell nasty!!! I don't eat any meat but those two, and turkey smell so bad to me. I also won't touch mayo or melted cheese or cooked carrots (unless it is in chicken soup)

Oatmeal (i.e. cooked as a breakfast food)

Cereal in milk

All because the texture grosses me out.


Same here! Also add soft boiled eggs and poached eggs.

I dated an AA guy from Memphis and during a visit to his home they were having chitterlings, and I have to confess I literally threw up from the smell of those things. Disgusting!
I'm also not a fan of grits, okra, pork, or shellfish.

Interesting that no one has mentioned cilantro thus far.
