Organ meat =

BTW - anyone watch Fear Factor ever to see what THEY have to eat? UGH!

Liver. Aside from the hiddeous taste, why would I want to eat the part of an animal which filters all the waste from its body? The liver is where all the toxins accumulate. Might as well go take a big spoonful of pesticide!

Oh, and fish. I absolutely loathe fish; the mere smell makes me queasy. There is exactly one salmon receipe I can stomach, because you smother the fish in tomatos, tarragon and dijon mustard. But otherwise, if it swims, you can keep it!

Mayonnaise! The feel and thought of all those whipped up raw eggs makes me gag! I can tell if it's even used as an ingredient- disgusting!

Other than that - all the talk about organ meat is pretty vile as well!

Can't stand brussel sprouts or beets.
Since I am from the part of the country I'm from okra is okay if it is fried. Liver is okay if it is sliced really thin and well done. Not fond of seafood--that's what growing up in the Texas panhandle will do for you. Fish was fish sticks!

[boBmouse]

Raw onions, I can't stand them. I like sauted or cooked in something, just not raw. I think that they dominate what ever they are in. I don't think I would not like liver either.

Another vote for Liver and brussel sprouts. Can't stand the smell or the taste.

Oh my gosh....you are SO right!!! When I first got married my husband's mother told me that this was his favorite dish (liver and onions) and tried to teach me how to make it. Rolling it in flour and all!!! Anyway, during my lession it was just all I could do to watch....no way was I going to TOUCH it!!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Grossed me out totally! I tried to be a good wife and about a month later I gained enough courage (I was just a stupid, young, 22 y/o who was in [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] ) to purchase some. I took myself out of my body long enough to CUT it in slices ( [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ), dredge it ( [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ), and fry it with onions ( [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ). I will never Never NEVER forget the look on Harley's face when he walked in the house. LOL....he HATED that meal! He had been forcing it down for 20-something years and thought that he wasn't going to have to eat it anytime soon.

My all time WORST meal......I'm getting ready to tell everyone how po-dunk my family is.....is COON. As in RACOON!!! Like the Beverly Hillbillies.....yep people really do eat that stuff. I would always refuse to eat it. My granparents would make this HUGE pot and invite everyone they knew. Nastiest stuff you could imagine....you have to cook it until it literally falls off the bones......bones stay in the pot....they just suck the meat off them ( [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ). The smell is just rancid. Dredges up some horrible memories for me.

Poor liver [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img] It's right up there with worms (and all those other things Timon and Pumbaa eat).

I have to admit that despite the fact that I'll try almost anything once (live bugs excluded), liver is close to the bottom of my list, but partly because of its fat and cholesterol content.

I enjoy chopped chicken liver (and other pates/terrines), foie gras , etc. - my only problem with those perparations is the health issue. When I was young I used to snack on braunschweiger liverwurst while I watched TV.

Calves liver, on the other hand, while it's something I ate frequently while growing up, is something I never could bring myself to love. These days I'll sample it, but never have it as a complete entree. Yes, it can be prepared in some very tasty ways, but even at its tastiest, a little goes a long way for me.

Now, as far as brussel sprouts go, I have to go against the crowd. As far as I'm concerned, the reputation of sprouts (and every other veggie), has been greatly harmed by overcooking. When veggies are cooked until their color goes from brilliant green to olive drab, the flavor and texture change for the worse. Try brussel sprouts steamed until tender but still bright green, seasoned with caraway seeds and then sauteed briefly in butter (if your diet permits). Yes, they'll still have a fairly strong flavor (like cabbage), but they go really well with strongly-flavored meats like pot roast (or liver [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ).

I can think of some foods eaten in other cultures that I'd have to think twelve times about before I'd try them. I'd rather not mention them here - I don't want to offend folks from different cultures or gross-out folks with American sensibilities. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

H'mmmmmm okra has the same bad rap, due mostly to ill preperations as brussell sprouts methinks! Never knew that one until I moved down south!

[Dumbo]

I have hated beets ever since I was little. Don't like bananas either. No liver or fish on my plate.

[Raven]

I am soooo allergic to seafood, even the smell of any ocean food product makes me want to retch, even the thought of it.... ugh [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

LOL LeighAnn! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I have a couple of least favorites - most of them made by my mom... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Stove Top stuffing, yech! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Swedish Meatballs, double yech! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Spaghetti sauce with onions [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] , but I love spaghetti sauce with mushrooms and I love onion rings. I just don't like the texture of onions after they've been stewed in sauce. I don't care for raw onions either.

[Mariposa]

I think the worst thing I've ever eaten was SQUIRREL . Yes, squirrel, cute little animals that run around and gather nuts. A friend of mine's father made me try it... BLEEEEEEEEEEEEGH!!!

LeighAnn- I've had raccoon as well, it's horrifying.

Some of the "country-folk" around here scare the crap out of me with the stuff they eat.
