How much of a picky eater are you?

Only 4 on the list I would not eat. Although, like others, this was the first time I've ever heard of Taramasalata. I love caviar, eat flying fish row on sushi and I like uni, so I don't think I would have a problem with it.

Now there are many things on that list I would not eat as a canned product. Canned veges, with few exceptions, I won't touch. If anyone checked liver, remember some sausages contain it. The boudin I made recently has pork liver in it.
 
4 for me. I've eaten 2 of the 4 and don't like them. Never had marmite and not sure I want to from what I've heard. Haven't ever had taramasalata, but we eat fish roe and uni, so I'd try it and counted it as a positive.
 
I'll gladly eat durian (somehow I'm not allergic to it) and natto but not some of AZ's other delicacies.

I'm surprised that so many people haven't hear of taramasalata. It's a pretty common meze dish. It's yummy!

What exactly is it? What is it made from?
 
How Much Of A Picky Eater Are You?

You don't eat 8 out of 87 things on this list!
You're definitely NOT a picky eater. Whatever the size, shape, smell, or texture; if it's food, you'll put it in your mouth. You probably look down your nose at anyone who IS a picky eater, but look on the bright side — you can eat anything they don't finish!

According to the analysis there are 25 ítems I do not eat ..

I am considered "picky" according to the analysis ..

I am " fairly picky " .. However, there are things, I just choose not to eat.

Moreover, there are ítems that I just do not care for .. or perhaps, I do not care for their preparation ..

Interesting Post ..

Taramalasalta: Greek Grey Mullet Dip (mezze)

What exactly is it? What is it made from?


Taramasalata in Greece is prepared with a fish called Grey Mullet however, many people outside of the región prepare it with Cod Fish.

The basic ingredients:

Fresh Lemon Juice
Boiled Potato
Grey Mullet or Cod fish
Greek Evoo
Salt to taste
Taramina or Roe
Fresh Parsley

It is an ancient Greek Classic .. And served with hot freshly baked Pita in every restaurant in Greece and every Tavern ..

Thanks for the response. I love Cod, but the roe would turn me off. The only eggs of any animal I am willing to eat is that of the chicken. As a child, picking up lobsters, I learned very early, to leave the roe with the animal. It is not for eating, but reproduction.
 
I should change my name to Mikey I'll eat anything...the only two things I won't eat is licorice and goat cheese.

I can't imagine there being 14 things on that list that you won't eat GG!!
I took it again with a different mindset and got it down to 10 [emoji38] I really don't like grapefruit or licorice,kidneys or liver, or white "chocolate" - I'm not going to waste calories on fake chocolate :ROFLMAO:

I don't think being adventurous means you have to like everything on the list - just be willing to try. I have eaten most of these items and some I just don't like.
 
I am a picky eater. I don't know what happened. As a child, I would eat anything. Now, not so much. Some of the foods I couldn't even pronounce or didn't know what they were. I eat all the veggies. Marmite? Isn't that a food they eat in Aussie or England? I do eat liver. Quite often. I eat all sea food. Except for octopus. And for meat, even though it wasn't on the list, tripe. No thanks to that. 14 out of 47.

Addie - I got you beat - 24 out of 87.

Same with me. I checked four items because I don't like them, not because they gross me out.

That said, these tests are supposed to be fun, not actually analytical.

Roe is quite obvious on lobster since they carry them around. Fish, not so much, besides the fact that they are now farming more and more fish specifically for their roe. In our heydays of lobster hunting, we'd occasionally come across a lobster with eggs still inside her that she was getting ready to drop. Oops, too late now. Should we have wasted it? I think not.

I believe the most of the taramasalata Ive had here is made with bread, not potatoes

And some have had a bit of yogurt in it
 
yay, I got the quiz open. I am a three. Don't eat kidneys (taste like urine, thanks to pranks in high school I know what it tastes like). Cilantro but I do eat the seeds and chicken.
 
4 out of 87, and even that is not accurate. I do eat milk chocolate, I just prefer not to, the other two things are pickled eggs and pickled onion. I bet I'd eat them both, I just never tried. The only thing on the list that I really hate is Liquorice. As far as seafood, I would eat it would it not be for religious reasons, so I do not think it should be checked out. I prefer not to eat some of the things on the list, but would anyway. Like fried onions for example, I am not going to seat and eat a bowl of it, but I cook with it and I eat. I know a friend who would not touch anything that has cooked onions.

I'm thinking this must be a British-designed quiz, based on some of the foods listed. I came up with two: marmite and taramasalata. I've never had the opportunity to try marmite, so I can't say I dislike it. And I had never even heard of taramasalata. I had to Google that one.

I will honestly eat pretty much anything.


I thought the same thing. Now if durian, natto, or half the things Andrew Zimmern eats were on the list, I wouldn't have fared nearly as well.

If you really interested Marmaite is sold in Cub Foods in international Section. And taramasalata is sold in any Russian store. It's a bit salty, but if you like caviar, or any fish row, you'd like it.
