ya'll havent had Okra here in the south then. we dont eat it pickled *gag* fried Okra is the only way to eat it :)

i dont like squid, calamari, anything slimy *gag*

Next time you are down Georgia way you will have to let me know. I will fry you some okra the *right* way. Which is rolled in cornmeal (none of that thick breading cr*p) and flash fried in a hot, hot, hot cast iron skillet (<---cast iron being very important). It is not soggy *at all* but crunchy and delish! Oh...and don't forget you need a small bowl of pot likker as well.... and cornbread...not the "sweet" kind...and...*sigh*


Kartniss~~(guess what's for dinner tonight?)

talk about fresh food....
 

and then we have this. The squid is dead (main portion chopped off in kitchen) but the salt in the soy sauce interacts with the muscles to cause them to move.
I don't care how much of a delicacy this is...if my meal gets up and walks away on it's on....then so am I.

Katniss~~ (and to think ya'll be dissin' on the okra)

bahahaha!

I like pork fatback - chicharrones, calamari breaded and fried, tripe, liver, and gizzards.

sorry folks that's good stuff! LOL

what is icky to me is the mexican version of mole in that they add chocolate or peanut butter to it. icky! don't like it tasting sweet only spicy with red chile.

I feel you Dante. Except on the tongue, a.k.a. "Lengua." I am not a cook but I have eaten some of the best lengua when cooked home made the mexican way. Delicious!

I totally agree. I made the mistake of ordering that exactly once. NEVER AGAIN!

I love pickled okra! It has to be fresh and crispy. I fry my okra in a cast iron skillet with cornmeal too. My grandmother taught me how, I cut the okra up, rinse in with water, cover the bowl with corn meal and shake it up. Then I put the okra in a plastic bag in the freezer for 30 mins to let the cormeal stick. Then fry it up. What I don't like is when someone fries their okra with tomatoes. Yuck!

Smoked Salmon Nigiri.... *barf*

This was a few year ago, and I accidently checked the wrong salmon box. I'm not sure if the salmon was bad in some way, or if that was how it is supposed to taste (I have never been able to try smoked salmon again). I always check my nigiri order twice to make sure I have not accidentally checked "smoked" instead of fresh. Lol.

Close second.... Munching on some dry ceral *unknowingly* while it was covered in ants. Good times!!!

Ack!!! :|

that hot mustard asian condiment. reminds me of paint thinner or something, not that I've eaten that, the smell!

I had some NASTY Thai one time when I was on the way Ithaca for a day trip (when I used to live in upstate NY many moons ago)
Thankfully, I had had GOOD Thai already, otherwise that stuff would have sworn me off it.
Makes me wonder if my first experience with Vietnamese food was a bad fluke....it wasn't BAD persay...it was just really SALTY tasting...and this from a girl who loves her salt! :blink:

My own cooking! I just don't have that knack I'm sorry to say:blink:

I tried escargot once and it really grossed me out. Now that I am thinking about it, I don't know what I was thinking lol.

I had creme brulee at a restaurant which was severely burned on top. It tasted like charcoal. I couldn't bring myself to even swallow it and spit it out into my napkin. I only recently had the courage to try it again.

And I hate okra.

Headcheese. It's not a cheese, it's parts of a pigs head, minus the brains and the eyes. Then it's cooked and pressed into a spicey jelled stock. It's not for every one. It wasn't for me. I only agreed to try it because I ended up loving Braunschweiger, and it's ingredients didn't sound very appetizing either.

My ex had spent 12 years in the Philippines as a missionary and dared me to try balut. There was an Asian grocery around the corner of the pub. I was almost drunk and did it.

The memories. They haunt me. I didn't finish it, either (she finished it with no qualms.)

*shudder*

You took the words and the action of googling right out of my head. Then of course I just had to look at the photos..................NO! :|

....
 

OK you all spoiled my lunch! :|

:(
 

1. Beets
2. Brussle sprouts
3. The Lima bean
4. Tofu
5. That soup at Chinese eating places with Tofu and whatever else is in it

It's so funny bc my wife loves all of those and is a vegetarian
Me : well its hunting season and I'm not a vegetarian and she detests me eating/hunting
But she will cook meat for me bc that's love and we make zero Sence and I reckon if I have to spend hours at shopping and buying her the stores I reckon she feels the same about cooking me meat in the kitchen for an hour or what not .

I can't think of any other food oh yeah honeydew , canelope and soy milk can be added tobmake me turn away from it

Other than that I'm a growing boy and will eat ya out of house and home :)

out dated yogurt..truly icky:bigcry:

I'm swearing off bologna from now on. blechhhh. I bought some chicken one and iccckkk.. No more bologna, any kind for me. Not even that cold cut sandwich I like from subway. :eek:

Chocolate covered ants, my cousin who made me eat them got a whipping.

Yes, I was Grandma's little angel.... :jester:

TRIPE??? omg, I can't stand it, no matter HOW it's cooked or flavored.

Not sure if it is the ickiest, but for sure the most tastless and boring, canned string beans.

I had some whole belly clams the other day that made me remember why I used to call them dirty belly clams as a kid.... :blink:

My dad used to make steamers all the time when I was a kid, but he would feed them for 3 days prior to clean out all the crap...literal and figurative...

Haggis and Durian. Not at the same time. Friend of mine says "But durian is so good! You just have to plug your nose!" I'm all, "If I have to plug my nose then it's not good!"

And people wonder why I'm very reluctant to try new foods.

I've had some terrible food in my lifetime, but right off the top of my head, what's coming to mind is a moment back when I was in college and stopped into a cafe owned and operated by my college and decided to try an espresso.

I've heard of people asking what the worst that can happen upon trying a new food/drink/whatever is, and my answer to them is "The desire to rip out your own tongue to make the suffering stop."

Also, Denny's.

sweet potatoes
beets
meat thats marinated in a very sweet sauce *gags*
white chocolate
:blink:

Holy mother of goodness.

No.

Oh my, I can't undo seeing that.

But, I couldn't help myself.

Double Yuck!
 

Pickled Raw Herring (I was forced to eat this in Jr. High School Social Science Class).

I'm also not fond of:

Brussel Sprouts
Lima Beans
Tripe (ala Menudo)

In a whole other category of grossness (which I have never eaten):

In Chinese culture - Monkey brains (sometimes eaten raw out of the skull).

I think I feel a little woozy.

Bon Appetit

Elijah

That I can remember......LYCHEES!!!! YUCK!

Yuck
 

Hi,

I already know that I will catch flack for this but the worse thing I every ate was sushi. It tasted and felt like bait. Not for me at all but good for fishing haha!
