worst food EVER!

[rollinder]

oh and to make junket worse it's not just milk but also made from rennet - mmm things from cow's stomach linings.

mu mum bought "organic" rennet (it was really vegitarian subsitute) once by mistake, my gran tried to use it as normal without reading the instructons. Ened up even worse than usual, don't think it set atall iirc

 

[foo]

evil, evil evil, my gran used to make it - right up the middle of this decade my uncle & mum were raving about it only yesterday.

really? what's to like about it?

i blame my lifelong wierdness around textures of food, soley on Junket.

the only possible thing in it's favour, as that ^^ piece states, is, it didn't wobble. i remember it being salty, not sweet though. and we didn't get banana or nutmeg or anything fancy in it - just that grey awful gloop. child abuse, i tell ya.

@ your granddad freezing a trifle. what was it like afterwards?

my next most hated and most wrong food, is jelly actually. when the kids were little, unix and others had great fun hassling me about jelly come birthday party time. or making it and chasing me with it. bunch of bastards.

ugh, tripe. some people boil it and give it to their dogs don't they...the smell....

what is bull's pizzel? <already wishing i hadn't asked>




this thread is beginning to feel strangley (and enjoyably) masochistic.

 

[Cloud]

I think the pizzel is a bulls cock, quite a bit of meat on it but not to my taste.

They used to sell them at Barnsley market.


oops my spelling strikes again, it's pizzle

 

[crustychick]

*vomits*

 

[rhys gethin]

Cockles - unless you've had eight pints first.

 

[foo]

that's a fucking long cock!!

 

[rollinder]

oh god, and i thought unix was winding me up when she told me that!

<retches>

actually it's worse - wiki in all it's infallibleness says it's veal calves
(new it was something like that - couldn't remember what)

@ your granddad freezing a trifle. what was it like afterwards?

slimey underneath - iirc it was just the custard/jellish fruit bit he froze

 

[Cloud]

Would you like some pork bung to go with that sir?

 

[Hi-ASL]

What. is. that?

 

[rollinder]

looks more like dung tbh

oh and sponge fingers for the trifel, left to go stale in that back of the cupboard

 

[rollinder]

What. is. that?

shritheld foreskin off the bulls cock?

 

[Herbsman.]

OH GOD

*holds back the vomit*

*unsubscribes from thread*

 

[foo]

shritheld foreskin off the bulls cock?

noooooooooooooooooo!



this is brilliant.

rollinder. the i'm with you on the sponge fingers - and yep, always stale.

edit: what does shritheld mean?

 

[lang rabbie]

I've got no problem with innards - be it tripe, sweetbreads or pork bung.

But sea slugs, whether cooked Chinese or Japanese style, - slimy, chewy and gritty - no, no, no

 

[Herbsman.]

edit: what does shritheld mean?

shrivelled

 

[Stobart Stopper]

hurray! someone else remembers the vile stuff.

you can join me and unix in our 'we hate junket' support group stobart.

How could I ever forget that? It was fucking awful.
Sister in law cooking it up looking all enthusiastic becasue I usually eat anything. My nephews said "don't eat it, it's shit." but she insisted I have it, telling me "it's what my mam and dad used to take with them to t'mills."

 

[rollinder]

shrivelled

I took five attempt trying to get the spelling right before giving up ffs
my brain is not working today

 

[foo]

oh sorry rollinder, i was reading it like shrit held. two words, rather than 'th' - iyswim.

shrivelled foreskin. jesus.

it's safe to say i will now not eat anything with 'bung' in it's title.

 

[weepiper]

Just got back from seein' me mate in French France innit. There's a sausage there called - not sure of the spelling, why can't them all learn inglish - endoyette, made from pigs' intestines. Utterly foul, apparently. So foul that one village has dedicated an entire festival to it, where they get volunteers up on stage and make them swear loyalty to the endoyette. Never got to try any, sadly, even though I was promised some. Maybe next time..

Andouillette. I had the misfortune to try this in a restaurant once (had no idea what it actually was, thought it was just your regular spicy sausage). It'smade from 'the colon and the stomach of pig. In modern times, contents vary and normally contain intestines of pig, cow and/or calf. It is not to be confused with andouille sausage, which is much spicier, but more mild in animal-derived smells.'

'animal derived smells' is kind of mild, it tastes and smells exactly like sweaty unclean horse's arse.

 

[weepiper]

my granpa Taff was very partial to boiled pigs' trotters. He also liked tripe. In fact just about any kind of offal and he was happy, he'd probably have liked andouillette if nobody told him it was French....

 

[rollinder]

shrivelled foreskin. jesus.

it's safe to say i will now not eat anything with 'bung' in it's title.

I don't know that it is that tbh just guessing after the other "foodstuff"

 

[heinous seamus]

Tinned 'Wild Alaskan' salmon is shit.

It tastes like dog food

 

[ICB]

junket fucking mings, my gran used to make it as well

I'm with you on the jelly thing n'all, they've got a lot in common in terms of being deeply repellent, especially to veggies

most hated food at school was liver and onions, and we used to get lots of meat with veins in it, aka "tubey meat"

*shudder*

 

[selamlar]

Is it wrong that I like most of the things on here? Especially Cassoulet and Andouillette. Never had junket tho. Sounds ok ish. Liver and onions are

 

[dolly's gal]

i lush cassoulet! spesh the tinned stuff from france. wrong but so so right!

 

[tarannau]

Who the hell picked cassoulet as the worst food EVER anyway? What sort of sheltered life do they lead when they think a rich, slightly thick stew is that bad?

Christ. What would happen if these folks encountered something like Sous - a pig-based stew made with trotters and pig face, served slightly lukewarm and jelly-like?
