Olives. I keep trying but they're just rank

Satan's haemorrhoids.

 

[bi0boy]

anything from the family of radish apart from the yellow pickled one in japanese places

Ah yes, they taste of toilets. Especially this white mashed one they served for breakfast Japan, that was proper bog water.

Coriander leaf ruins everything it's put in. Only a moron would try to acquire that taste. It's like diesel. Soapy, soily, diesel.

So obviously a poison, I'm surprised it hasn't yet been listed on toxicology charts. People will look back and say "Jesus, they used to eat that stuff!"

Soapy taste of coriander linked to genetic variants

Avocados. The greatest marketing scam of our times, selling little nuggets full of rancid green wallpaper paste at a pound a throw.

Haggis. you need a fucking pint of whisky to get the foul taste out of your mouth.

Never tried it. I assumed it was just like a big chewy sausage. Will approach with caution from now on.

Haggis is OK. Not something I'd want to eat every day, but fine now and again.

Garlic... I keep trying but no.

Red kidney beans... It's texture more than taste but it's like eating sand.

Pesto... Ruins everything it goes near.

I have acquired a taste for Brussels sprouts though in the last few years.

Somebody always posts that. Like it's not the rest of you who are the mutants.

Whisky. Urgh.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Whisky and Cinzano.

Yes, I know, I'm setting that one up. Go on if you must.

I really want some olives now - my faves are nocerella

This week my first home cured ones should be ready. I love olives and am hoping these will be good. At 2€ a kilo I thought it was worth trying.

In the UK try the Fragata olives, sold in Tesco, Waitrose, (and somewhere else I can't remember) Last year I worked there and the olives are very good quality. Can't remember the type for the life of me!

 

[bi0boy]

The best olives are pitted ones.

I can define my life in terms of pre fig and post fig!

Figs are delicious, I can't imagine why I steered clear of them so long.

Dry cured ones are great. My second home cured batch is being dry cured as we speak.

Have you tried the lemon stuffed, or Andalucian style ones?

no, never had the chance

 

[dessiato]

no, never had the chance

Tesco has them, by the company I used to work for, and in handy snack packs. (I helped on this project!)

I drew the line at roadkill.. But there was a complete looking cock pheasant on the road today, going up past it and back past it I thought to myself it would be good for the pot, but I drove on by and didn't pick it up. What a waste!

Good haggis is amazing. Unfortunately most you can get in England is McSweens which is rubbish. The best I've ever had is from a butcher in Gullane who makes them on the premises.

I've actually UNacquired the taste for cheeses like Brie de Meaux and camembert. I used to like it very much, albeit in moderation, but I'm finding it increasingly unpleasant to contemplate eating. Very strange.

I still enjoy blue cheeses, though.

I've gone off brie. I get a horrible ammonia smell after a few bites. Not sure if it's the cheese or something weird with my sense of smell.

As a kid my mates used to say that you weren't a proper Londoner if you didn't like them, so I used to force them down. Back then loads of boozers had seafood vans in the car parks and we'd hang out there scoffing eels. One day I realised that it was bollocks about not being a Londoner so I threw them in a bush and got a pint of prawns instead.

 

[CrabbedOne]

Oysters or snails. Used to be cheap tucker but never seem worth the chewing.

Which reminds me:

Would have been funnier with whelks.

I used to hate the gritty pips of the dried figs, but something always motivated me to keep on trying, against all the odds

And now I'm very fond of them, and don't mind the pips. They're very nice (especially if you can get the semi-dried ones) with cheese. Manchego cheese and semi-dried figs is A Thing.

Saw this on twitter today.

Asparagus. Brussels sprouts. Spinach. Celery. Mange tout. Green beans. Kale. Lettuce that isn't crunchy white Iceberg. That miserable green leafy shit ain't food. It's what food eats. Feed it to the pigs and have bacon instead.

Parsnips aren't green but they can get to fuck as well. They smell like puke to me.
