A Slow Discussion of Fast Food

[Buffy]

Okay, everybody: what *won't* you eat food wise.

I told Tinny in a private post that I wouldn't eat Durian, but Tinny replied that I really have to try it. It supposedly has an, um, distinctive smell, and in some places its actually banned from public consumption (Singapore I think). Tinny: join in and tell us why we should!

I also insist on no onion and no tomato on my burgers, although I love onion rings (go figure), and anchovies are okay but only on Ceasar salad.

Sushi, frogs legs, snails love em all. Will not touch anything with bell peppers but throw massive amounts of fresh habanero in most of my recipes where appropriate.

What's on *your* won't eat list?

Cheers,
Buffy

I'm a bit odd I don't seem to like the standards...

My no thanks list:
Chocolate (And most candy/cake like things...just not into sweets)
Coke
Chicken
Milk

Out side of those I'll eat (and have tried) just about anything.

Hm...tricky. Well, I hate peanut butter. Although I can down a bag of M&M's with PB in no time.

[orbsycli]

man, mayo is definitely on my not-eat list.
mustard, bananas. ugh those things make me sick.
custard donuts, no way. anything with a gross texture.
yeah i don't like milk either, but i like it with cereal.
and for some reason i can't tear apart crawdads, or anything, to eat the meat inside. even though they're dead, i just can't tear those things open.

I like frog legs too. As for other reptiles, rattlesnake's pretty tasty and alligator's not bad even though it's kind of chewy, not as bad as octopus though.

I'm not a bell pepper person either but you keep talkin' about habaneros like that and I'll think you're flirtin' with me. I was growing my own habaneros before any of the stores had them just so I could have some. Fresh tabasco peppers picked off the bush and dipped in apple jelly are pretty good too if you like hot peppers.

Stuff I won't eat? Mountain oysters and pork brains are the two biggest turn offs I can think of. Don't care much for chitlins or any kind of boiled greens either, especially boiled okra, it's just to slimy for me.

You just pass all them crawdads, lobsters, crabs, etc. over this way, I love 'em all.

Can't stand octopus, but I love calamari.
Can't stand raw oysters, but I love them fried. Same with clams.
Don't like hot friend chicken, but love it out of the fridge.
Will eat almost any kind of veggie.
Don't care for monkey.
LOVE alligator, especially et touffe.
Don't like brains or tongues, the texture of both disgusts me.
Will try anything else at least once, as long as you don't tell me what it is before I eat it.
That's the key, really. On a camel ride through the UAE, we stopped and had a 'traditional Bedouin meal'. I have no idea what I ate, and I am fairly certain that some of it is not legal in the States. But I know that it was one of the most interesting meals I have ever experienced, and my pallette was tickled repeatedly. The same thing happened in Antalya, Turkey (which also boasts the best fresh vegetables of any I've ever tasted!). The owner just brought us food until we were full, and we never knew what half of it was. But man, was that some good stuff!!

The only thing that I will not eat under any circumstances is cooked peas. I just can't stand them!!
