Which foods disgust you?

[ringo]

Meat, especially the smell of it cooking and touching it, but not the sight of it or other people eating it. Disgust is exactly the right word.
I used to love meat as a kid but after being vegetarian for so many years I have a reaction to it no different to smelling dog shit. I guess it's a human reaction, in that what is taboo eventually begins to physically repulse you, disgust being a defence of some kind against that which you could never eat or want to eat.

Raw oysters, okra, tripe, raw meat (like German mett or that steak dish with a raw egg in it), raw eggs.

 

[Disaster]

raw eggs.

I don't believe that a vast amount of people like eating raw eggs.

I don't believe that a vast amount of people like eating raw eggs.

But some people do eat that steak thing, don't they? And my uncle ate raw eggs whisked up in milk every day I don't know if he enjoyed it to be fair; he had to eat/drink it because he had something wrong with his oesophagus and could barely eat solid food.

The raw meat with a raw egg is called steak tartare.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Aubergines, courgettes, and cucumbers.

Solanacae-phobic!!!

 

[Wookey]

I despise fish, bony, scaly, nasty, bony fish. Whole fish, fish fillets, don't matter. I hate the lot. Prawns are like maggots, king prawns are like king maggots!! And oysters are sluggy and crabs are like giant spiders!

All seafood in fact knocks me sick. Except samphire.

 

[fractionMan]

Not much can disgust me. That thai fish jelly stuff turns my stomach though.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

WTF is pho?

The latest trendy food. Luckily, it's pretty good, as well.

 

[fractionMan]

since when did noodle soup become trendy?

since when did noodle soup become trendy?

It was trendy here about 2 years ago, and sounds like it's getting trendy there now.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Actually, I think I'll have one for lunch.

 

[Meltingpot]

Cheese and onion pasties - yuk.

 

[spirals]

trifle, I love custard, cream, jelly, fruit and cake but trifle turns my stomach

Fatty meat - I can't stand gristle. Bleaugh!

Will discover tomorrow whether I find cholent bleugh! or yay! This being a Jewish slow-cooked stew (as in, gsv's putting it in the oven now, and it's staying there until it comes out for lunch tomorrow). From what I understand, it becomes a dense goo - could be lovely, could be vile given that we're doing it with veggie sausage rather than beef, and I'm a tad worried that the sausage will dissolve into gross sludge in the cooking process.

 

[Orang Utan]

Fat is the best bit of meat - chicken skin, chops, crackling - yum yum yum!

I don't think that will work!

 

[nightowl]

jellied eels. how anyone can put one of those things in their mouth is beyond me

 

[Cloo]

I don't think so either, but try telling that to a veggie with a mind set on cholent.

 

[longdog]

Skin on anything.
Shellfish of any kind.
Most fish except white fish.
Anything my mother has cooked.
Olives.
Watery mushrooms like you get in a greasy spoon <gag>

 

[rioted]

Industrially processed stuff - why ruin perfectly good food?

 

[nightowl]

Anything my mother has cooked.

used to think mum's was ok until i moved away and started eating some decent stuff. it suddenly dawned on me that her's was actually pretty crap

 

[gentlegreen]

Insects / larvae

land snails - quite a big regret that - considering their ready availability.

A bit borderline about shellfish.

fish - blow hot and cold ...

fowl - Feel some nostalgia for it this time of year, but it soon passes.

mammals - I would need to be marooned somewhere ...

 

[KellyDJ]

My list is:

raw tomatoes (like cooked ones though)
mushrooms
olives
oysters, cockels, welks or anything similar
turkish delight
coconut - but I like creamed coconut in curries and soups, its the texture
pineapple
kippers
brussel sprouts
parsnips
snails
cavier

 

[May Kasahara]

you never tried pho!

dude, you don't know what you're missing!

it's a vietnamese based noodle soup that's made from either chicken or cow bones/meat.
the broth takes ages to prepare and is cooked until clear.

and is served with raw slices of beef/chicken, rice noodles and fresh herbs.

pho is part of vietnamese culture. and its lush!

Pho is one of the few things that makes me wish I still ate meat. I've never tried it and it sounds amazing - the flavours, the heat, mmmmMMMMMmmmm. I wonder if I ever will?

 

[Sweaty Betty]

hot milk and skin *gags*
oysters = salty snot a bit like globby sperm *bleurgh*
Snotty fried eggs
pickled eggs= why?
pork pie jelly
egg mayonnaise
raw celery

 

[Karac]

This Irish cheese the missus bought over xmas-it looks like an incredibly overripe brown camembert and stinks like a rotting corpse.
I gag every time i open the fridge-the missus wont touch it-but i find myself having a tiny slice on a cracker with some red wine every time im pissed

 

[gentlegreen]

What's it called ?

I rarely do dairy, but when I do, I like to get my money's worth.

Runny egg yolks make me heave. I'll eat them if they're completely cooked solid, but if there the slightest bit runny I can't eat them, they'll make me want to hurl.

Most meat makes me throw up due to having an intolerance to it, my stomach can't digest it or something. Fish it's fine with, but meat I just bring up again.

Tomatoes. Raw ones, cooked ones, whatever.. the only time I can eat them is when they're so processed up that they're a paste. Urr just the thought of them now is making me feel ill.

(wow there was a whole load of sick in that post heh)
