Which popular food do you dislike?

[rwsmith]

Popular......

I'm surprised that no one has said brussels sprouts!
Yucky!

I'm not sure brussell sprouts are 'popular' but if we are on the subject throw boiled okra into the mix. Okra is popular here in the South. I'll eat it fried or cut up into little wheels in soup. But boiled??? Slimy gish!

There's not much I won't eat, but I will live happily ever after if none of the following pass through the sweet end of my alimentary tract:

Any organs/guts, which includes haggis and blood pudding/sausage - regardless of how they're prepared!
Brussel sprounts
milk toast
yams/sweet potatoes
Miracle Whip
oysters
okra
collard/mustard greens
rodents
lutefisk
whale/muktuk - just nasty!
sushi
pork rinds
spinach - boiled
lima beans
soda or any sugary drinks

Well, I certainly see now why I can never get any good CHITTERLINGS.
Not one of you guys had them on your "no-do" list, so they must all be eaten before I get a chance.

Certain regional guys will think chitterlings,(more correctly pronounced,"chitlins"), are only a Southern legend, so for those of you; they are hog guts, prepared in about 91 different ways, depending on how "grandma" said was "the only way to fix chitlins" !

For the full effect and enjoyment of THE CHITTERLING, you ought to be present when they are first removed from the hog and have the "ingredients" hosed from the inside to set the proper visual, for later eating enjoyment.
Helps to be there for the boiling and cooking too, for nowhere else will you ever find that aroma.

(Note) For all I know, chitterlings, (chitlins) are one of the Banned subjects....(If not, maybe should be ! )

Oh no! Forgot about "chitlins". Have always wondered how they could be considered food.
Reminded me of something else i can't stand, Sweet Tea.

Roast Turkey. I am anti-turkey at Thanksgiving, and usually do beef, ham or pork instead. At one recent family(40+ ppl) TG get together, I brought 15# of smoked, pulled pork. It was gone in 20 minutes. 3 hours later, when everyone started to disperse, the rest of the family was arguing over who HAD to take leftover turkey home....

Socialist.



Commie was already taken.

Actually,next time you all need a""""volunteer"""" to take home the turkey--please send it my way.I love the stuff and never tire of it.

 

[the ringo kid]

cheesecake--just as well be tofu (which I don't consider to be food)

Cheesecake??? thats almost saying that Dark Chocolate is bad for your heart.

 

[the ringo kid]

Any fast food burger. I haven't eaten one in so long just walking into a joint like Burger Kings turns my stomach. The smell of grease and god knows what is revolting to me.

bob

I feel the exact same way about McDonalds. After leaving a McDs--I come away smelling like grease and it makes me sick as heck.I do like their unsweet tea--and free wifi though.

Anyway,after a stint at MDs--I have to shower twice--to get rid of the grease stench.

You had better bring your own sack lunches if you visited here? you'd starve.

 

[Comrad]

I would sooner starve to death than to eat most of the ethnic foods.

I like American food, I like meat and potatoes, I will go for some Italian and that's about it.

 

[the ringo kid]

HUMMUS!
Just what the heck is that stuff anyway?
Sort of reminds me of other products produced by Purina intended for the four-legged customer variety.

I tried some on a cracker when they had a person peddeling the stuff at an HEBs one time--ill never try it again.To me it tasted like near tasteless bean spread inter-laced with tasteless cookie crumbs mixed with sand. BLECHHHHH...

 

[arjay]

Piñon hummus is pretty good.

 

[Vulcan Bob]

Vulcan Bob, scrapple is not pig brains, and is pretty tasty.

I detest corn dogs and Spaghetti-O's. I also don't like any of the too-sweet, gimmicky kiddy cereals like Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, etc. Don't care a damn for most soft drinks, but loathe Big Red and Mountain Dew.

Liver? Certainly. Bacon? Of course. Liver with bacon? I'm there!

Oh, I found out scrapple was not pig brains but by that time I had that floating around in my id!

I cant stand Okra. To me its like eating breaded rocks. I dont like chitlins either.

 

[Salty RI]

Okra, didn't she have a TV show.

 

[loknload]

^^^^^^


How about Snails / Escargot No thanks I'll pass !

 

[Comrad]

Okra, didn't she have a TV show.

I thought it was an abbreviation for the state Okrahoma.

 

[Rustyt1953]

I have been blessed with a curiosity and appreciation for the world's foods. I have eaten all the aforementioned foods including baluts. Some are not my first pick but I could eat them in a pinch.

That being said, the irony is that I balk at grits and biscuits.
Grits are a vehicle for condiments and a filler. They taste of whatever they are mixed with.

Biscuits ride a teeter-totter with a small fulcrum of acceptability.
To one side they can be heavy and doughy and cause jaw cramps.

To the other, they can be so dry that they suck all the moisture out of your skull and it caves in.

At a restaurant, I will order one biscuit before the meal to test the waters.

I know right? This coming from a guy who likes the stuff they pack Vienna Sausages in.

 

[CaptRon956]

Texan??

You're not from this planet!

I'm a vegetarian.. go figure

 

[Damn Yankee]

I ate a dozen Oysters once and only eleven of them worked.

 

[johngalt]

Don't like coffee. Don't like overly sweet stuff, such as some of the cake frostings. Don't like marshmallow sauce on my ice cream.

Vegetables depend greatly on how they're cooked. Most are way overcooked. Most also need butter.

Don't like organs - kidneys, livers, gizzards, etc. Don't understand the appeal of eating the animal's garbage dump.

I like my food to have some taste, so some spice is good. I don't want to burn my taste buds off though.

Beer and most alcohol - I'm just not that interested in trying to acquire the taste. Most is nasty.

After years of using skim milk, I tried whole. I may not go back to skim.

Most frozen dinners, including pizzas, are disgusting.

Most fruit juices are just as bad for you as drinking pop.

 

[paplinker]

Raw tomatoes,
I love them stewed, but that gooey stuff that looks like raw egg whites is a deal breaker. Just started eating salsa in the last year or so.
