Food you wouldn't put in your mouth.

[Andy M.]

I grew up on okra. It was a regular item for mom. I love it, sis hates it.

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and...

you can have all the capers. I'll bring some dry sausage and some French Muenster cheese.

I'll trade the bleu cheese for the chocolate - straight up.

 

[jennyema]

Deal!

Can I have the caviar, too?

I am reading Steven Jenkins' great book, "The CHeese Bible," and made a list of some I wanted to try. Was gonna go to Formaggio Kitchen today but because of the snow, will eat my sardines and Ikia herring instead.

I would not eat anything with mint.

[buckytom]

even if you were in flint?

and you dropped the food, got it covered in lint?

if it were smeared with a jelly, made from quince,
i'd bet you'd try it, rolled up like a blintz.

if you know goodweed, the guy's a prince,
but he hates dirty veggies, gives them all a rinse,
then eats with abandon, leaving telltale hints,
of the meal that came before, without even a wince...

(sorry gw, been reading dr. seuss again)

 

[cats]

I can't even think of eating pigs feet or basically any organ meat; i.e., brains, kidneys, liver, or heart. UGH.

 

[Andy M.]

I will not eat them Sam-I-Am, I will not eat green eggs and ham.

 

[kimbaby]

raw oysters... no thank you...

 

[gandmag]

mmm, oysters would def. be on the list. along with gorgonzola cheese and anything licorice(black). that a short list of nastiness i will never do again.

 

[Jenny]

Food that has been in someone else's mouth first.

That is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DISGUSTING

Human flesh...dead or alive...!

I love Dr. Seuss. I think I could still quote whole books.

One of my school teachers, well into his dotage (and now I'm my dotage!) spent some time with cannibals in New Guinea. Apparently human flesh tastes just like pork. And the fingers are the most delicious parts! I don't think the teacher had eaten any, just smelled it and watched others eat it, and talked about it with the natives.

I'm not recommending it, and I have no intention of checking it out, myself.

Let's face it. If we're hungry enough, we'll eat ANYTHING. So they tell us. I personally hope I'd be able to draw a line........

 

[AllenOK]

Most folks in that part of the world call Europeans "long pig". 'Nuff said.

 

[Dina]

Nothing that's alive for sure.

GAGAMAGGOT!!!

I hope I am never in that situation! Wasn't there a movie where some plane crash victims ate one of their dead? poor guys. I am not sure I could do it and never want to find out! Your teached must have been really grossed out!

 

[Jenny]

BTW daisy...I am glad to know your professor made it out alive

 

[AllenOK]

That movie is "Alive", and it's actually pretty accurate about the details of the crash and how the survivors managed to live that long.

And just what tell-tale hints might you be referring too? Hmmmmm?


BukyTom my freind,
I'll love food till the end.
But I won't eat those mints,
even rolled in a blintz.
And of the licorice spoken,
I'll offer a token
gesture of pleasure,
but small must be the measure
as in the potent anise
sprinkled lightly on geese
with the other four flavors
that give 5-spice powder favor
in things oriental
and no I'm not mental.

Taste is subjective,
behavior reactive,
this poem distractive,
And now I am done.

Though this wasn't a serious poem, I enjoy a rhyming session now and again. I loved yours. Keep that youthful spirit, no matter how old you grow. It serves you well.

Chitterlings are the only food I tried and will not eat again. They weren't horrible tasting it was the smell while they were being prepared.

 

[sattie]

Any food where animals are mistreated.... i.e. foie gras or veal.

SizzlininIN says:

F = Fograh........see I don't even know how to spell that and don't care too.....looks like a diseased liver.

Ducks are force fed every couple of hours until their liver swells... that is how they get foie gras, veal... well not gonna go there.

Indangered animals... and uni (sea urchin), that was just plain nasty!

 

[SpiceUmUp]

I love White Castle but I can't eat them anymore. They are steamed on a bed of onions and are really fairly wholesome but the onions can kill ya. The story of white castle is insteresting. They were the very firsat burger chain. They emphasised cleanliness. White everything, clean tile walls, employees in starched white uniforms. All to get people over the idea that burgers were made of mystery meat.

Anyway.

I will not eat liver or lima beans.
