The foods I would never like to see on my plate would have to be liver, brussel sprouts or green peppers.

Gladly!Well you can pass the liver and brussel sprouts my way!

I love liver but only lightly cooked. Just so it isn't pink but before it gets to that horrid dry, hard to eat stageLiver..no doubt. It smells heavenly cooking and looks fantastic on a plate but put it into your mouth and you know misery!
I have poker straight hair. My mother was a hairdresser and when I was moaning about not having curls like other little girls at school she told me that when in training, she had been told that curls are a genetic deformity. It didn't actually make me feel any better about my straight hair..I don't usually cook with alcohol and I don't like chicken Marsala, but I recently started to add a splash of white wine when cooking with tomatoes and it makes a world of difference to me.
My mother told me she ate hard crusts of bread when she was pregnant with me so I would have curly hair, and I do have very thick curly hair. But I think the fact that she also had thick curly hair had a lot to do with it. LOL

Spam came here as a result of "Lend Lease" in the second world war and it never left. I could really hate America for that....If you don't like grits, you won't like huitlacoche either. What this is is explained in an old blog entry of mine, Things in a can that I would never ever eat. This includes links to an essay on Huitlacoche and the 6 most terrifying foods in the world. BTW, Hákarl is not on that list, but it SHOULD BE! IT SHOULD BE!
I actually have since run across some other Things In A Can that should be appended to that list. These include roasted scorpions, tripe (I am QUITE SURE that tripe is not improved by being packed in a can in Milk Gravy), ant eggs, roasted crickets and eggs, and preserved giant water bugs.
Basically I don't want to eat anything that might be tasting me back, or worse yet, looks like it's trying to get a bite in of its own.
Some things just can't be helped even by barbequing, curry sauce, or candy coating. This is no better for being "BBQ flavored" either.
Makes a liver aversion look like a tempest in a teapot, and this pizza-flavored Canadian version of Spam becomes merely odd. I'm still not touching liver, though. Just because there are worse things in the world ....
