Now, I already know I'm a big ol' freak:p but I love brussel sprouts & a good fried Spam sandwich every now and again is a good thing.
Has anyone tried honeycomb tripe?? It's used in a dish called Menudo. Now, I'm half Mexican, and I managed to avoid the dish for years, but finally relented & tried it a few months back when my aunt was making some.
Mind you, tripe is rectal lining from a cow, and I can honestly say that it is the most disgusting thing on this planet!!
Love- CLif Bars. Especially that cranberry flavor, or the peanut butter.
any vegetables, especially brussell sprouts, broccoli, etc
well, almost any food substance really:rolleyes:
Hate- Luna Bars. They taste so dry and hard. Maybe its the soy that turns me off.
coffee, although I like caramel lattes with extra sugar and whipped creme
chicken made any where other than my kitchen.
Oh my, had some milk and covered oreos once, went for a short spin very shortly after...yucky feelings came to visit my tummy! Another time....had icecream coming home from work, it was in the 90's so I was easily tempted to stop in and get in the airconditioned building besides getting the coolness of the icecream...did not feel so good on the rest of the ride home. I have had the italian ice (like sherbet) on a previous day and it did not have the same effect as the icecream with milk product. My conclusion... I now have a no milk before a ride rule.
you sure it wasn't a Clif Bar??:pQuote:

My husband turned me onto those strawberries and creme things at Starbucks (yum). The other day I decided to pull up the nutrition info off their website and found that one of those has almost 500 calories for a tall!:eek:
They're off my list, now! And I thought it was just strawberries and milk?!
I can't stand Clif bars anymore, either. And the original power bar?? Ugh! The only bars I seem to like are the power bar triple threats and Lara bars, which are cool because they are all natural, uncooked, vegan, kosher, etc. And they taste pretty good (in small quantities). There is one Kashi bar I like as well, but I can't remember the flavor.
Husband got me back into vegetables too, which I hadn't eaten for years, so he's still on my good side.:rolleyes:
fake banana flavouring is pretty yuckie.. the starter for this thread.. That said I'll eat just about anything. The only exceptions I can think of are
tripe
tendon
chitlins.. the smell alone hurts me.
li hing mui
other than that there's things I'm not a fan of or wouldn't search out on my own but if I'm hungry and it's in my way.. It's gonna get eaten. After 3 disapoints in a row at starbucks though I doubt I'll ever pay for a baked product there again. They've consistently disapointed me..
SPAM is the best though. fry it in some soy sauce. slap a slab of rice on top. wrap it up in nori. perfection. Long Live The Spam.
I just found the worst food ever. I thought I would "be good" on my 200k Saturday, so bought lowfat mozarella sticks instead of regular. Friday night, in the hotel, I hadn't really eaten much for dinner, so I was going to have string cheese with my glass of Syrah! Mmm. And watch Animal Planet. I took one bite- I can't even describe the rubbery yet sawdusty taste. I tried to swallow it, but ended up spitting up the chewed up part into the toilet. ICK!!! Left the whole pack in the fridge there.
Salsa.
I just found out that it's a migraine trigger for me. I didn't eat it very frequently for years and years, but found some I liked lately, so I have been eating it more often.
Never, ever again.
More for everyone else! :)
My list:
Organ meats, I do like liverwurst, but that is so much fat I rarely eat it anyhow.
Bologna, used to be a favorite, fried, but the fat again. and it is just too CHEAP What's in it?
Cooked zuchini- once had some that was bitter-I now avoid it.
Cilantro-tastes like soap.
Blood sausage. A favorite as a kid for breakfast,my family called it by the Polish name Keishka, then I asked what it was in English now I think of it as Blood sausage and get nausous just thinking about it.
Blue cheese dressing. Tastes and looks like vomit.
Macaroni salad -store bought- something tastes bitter, I must be peculiar.
Cherry Pie- its slimy.
Whipped cream- sometimes makes me feel like my throat is closing up and I'll be choking. It's not the taste or texture, because I feel that way even after I eat itI. But not always, so It must be some additive. Fake whipped topping, the ingredients are too gross!
I used to dislike any kind of crucifer, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage (except in cabbage rolls, etc.)
Now I love cabbage, avoided Brussel spouts until last year I tried fresh instead of frozen, and they weren't bitter. After being married to someone who hated almost everything, it was a releif to be able to eat again. I probably would still be avoiding weird vegetables if I hadn't suffered all that gastromic deprivation.
As a kid I couldn't eat hardboiled eggs, the dryness of the yolk made me choke. Mom wouldn't let me color eggs, nor eat only the white. Finallly learned to choke down those yolks as an adult. I think of all the cholesterol and fat I could avoid now that I know it is healthier NOT to eat the yolks, but feel to guilty to toss them!
Also, I LOVE custard. My favorite dessert. (Never ate it as a kid)
I have difficulty experimenting with strange animal products, sometimes I will sometimes I won't. I think it makes me thinkabout the death of the animal. Animal products I'm used to don't bother me anymore. ( I kow I "ought" to become vegetarian, because I don't think I could slaughter animals personally, so it is dishonest to eat them. Except killing fish doesn't bother me, even though I like keeping pet fish. But eating octopus does bother me. I ordered some by accident in an Asian restaurant, described as seafood soup.
It was dead already, so I figured I might as well eat it, but it saddened me. They are very clever animals.
Jellyfish was interesting. An Asian freind raved about it. It didn't have any flavor of its own that I could detect, and it was prepared in a cold salad. It had a texture somewhat like calimari but crunchier.
Trying new vegetables and fruits I always find interesting. I may not like them, but there is no "squeamish" factor here.
Hated seaweed, flavor was too strong, and repeated on me. Until I ate sushi several times.
Wow, I love a bunch of stuff on your list.
Liverwurst and bologna- love- but feel too guilty to usually eat.
Zuchini- love in any form- raw, cooked, bread, cake, etc.
Bleu cheese dressing- but with French- together. Love.
Cherry Pie!! Whipped cream, especially sprayed straight out of the can!!
Macaroni salad! (Have to admit- there's a huge variation in taste/quality with that).
Mmm brussels sprouts- especially homegrown.
Mmm seaweed- especially salad.
You do realize I'm going to try this tonight!!Quote:

JoyfulGirl mentioned hating li hing mui. I love those little sour-salty pickled dried plums. The Mexicans have a version with lime called saladitos. MMMMMmm, just thinking of it makes me drool. For those who don't know what they are, I've attached a pic.
I don't have very many foods on the do not eat list. In fact, I eat almost everything on everyone else's do-not-eat list.
organ meats
chicken feet
congealed blood cubes (asian thing)
blood sausage (same category as above?)
oreos (traumatized from having them stuck in my braces)
beans, although I'm warming up to refried beans
ginseng tea
I shouldn't eat milk/cheese products becuase I'm slightly lactose intolerant. However, I do it anyway. It just gives me gas. I'll suffer gas for a slice of pizza. My fiance can't have any milk at all. Being a devout cereal lover, he now has all his daily cereal with Silk Soy Milk.
I must say, having the flowers by the li hing mui makes it look MUCH tastier!
