Which foods disgust you?

[1927]

I am amazed and have a new respect for the urban community. Page 4 and only one mention of veal and noone has mentioned foie gras yet!

Mushy peas. I haven't eaten any since I was 10 but we were given them for school dinners at primary school and the very thought of them still makes me feel sick.

Also Twiglets and Cheese Footballs.

That's cos they're both bloody tasty, however they may be gotten

 

[chymaera]

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.

I suspect I am about as far as it is possible to be in England from a Vietnamese restaurant/takeway.
So the likelyhood of me ever trying pho is nil, unless I cook it myself.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Eggs, avocados and custard creams.


eta, they are all things that I associate with throwing up afterwards, so it's a bit of a primæval thing

 

[Mallard]

I can't stand aubergines myself.

 

[northernhord]

All day breakfast inna tin, tiz food of the divil for sure.

 

[Orang Utan]

Infected corn!

There are a number but cabbage is probably the top of the list, for a whole lot of reasons.

Boiled cabbage is the work of the devil. And if it's so boiled it's gone grey, then why not just eat owl vomit? It will taste just as nice.

However I have discovered that stir-fried cabbage - still crunchy and fresh - is surprisingly palatable.

To be honest most boiled vegetables are horrible the way they are traditionally done in the UK - i.e. soft and squidgy with all the flavour cooked out of them. I love courgettes and brocolli and beans, but what's the fucking point if all the flavour is now in the hot water and they have the consistency of that sludge you pull out of the bath plughole along with all the hair?

Probably loadsof food but off the top of my head :

all meat / fish (im veggie)

cabbage (gross)

sprouts

butter beans

eggs, all kinds make me want to puke. I can barely sit at the same table as someone eating an egg.

brown sauce, i especially get hives when I see it all encrusted around the lid.

 

[northernhord]

mechanically recovered animal flesh is crap food too.

 

[Firky]

Not an awful lot but cauliflower and cucumber.

Agreed 100%

 

[Firky]

Came across a tin of this in a deli

[gentlegreen]

Haven't I seen canned chicks or something posted here before ?

 

[May Kasahara]

Infected corn!

Urg, yes. Corn smut is wrong and should not be allowed to live.

Very true. For years my best mate thought she hated vegetables, till she started cooking them herself and realised that you don't have to have them boiled to an inedible sludge. It's a shame that so many people go through life thinking veg is shit, when actually most of the time it's just cooked badly.

What do they taste like ?

 

[catrina]

mackerel. most disgusting fish I've ever eaten, I don't understand why anyone would ever want to eat it. bluergh.

scotch eggs
sultanas/raisins
chicken, especially on the bone
those big red fish ro they have at japanese restaurants
most offal

ETA: rice pudding, yuck.
brussels sprouts

 

[gentlegreen]

You should try a mackerel straight out of the sea - it's yummy

 

[May Kasahara]

Mmmmm, mackerel - delicious!

gentlegreen: fuck knows what infected corn tastes like, but I couldn't eat something that looks like this.

 

[gentlegreen]

It does seem suspiciously like people deciding it's a "delicacy" to make the most of a crop disaster.

A bit like oyster mushrooms that will grow on stuff that no tasty mushroom will touch ...

Sounds yummy:

In just a single serving, you'll experience a wide array of textures. Without getting too gross, it's because the disease is more advanced in some kernels than others. One bite might be kinda chewy, while the next might burst in your mouth like a black pus-filled blister.

Enthusiasts report the taste of cuitlacoche to be a smoky-sweet mixture of corn and mushrooms. Not sure if I'd want to find out.
