Sushi or any raw or rare meat.

I don't think I've had organ meat, except for pate. More of a function of those that do the cooking don't like it and never felt the need to order it.

Peanut butter is the one food I cannot stand and I'm not allergic. I does not matter if it is covered in chocolate, I just cannot eat it.

Yeah, I get those two points. I don't like to eat foods super-terrible for my health or foods I don't think are too morally/environmentally/fashionably cool, but there's a difference between not eating something because of those concerns versus not eating something even if you're Donner Party desperate.

I don't like beets.

No organ meats, no feet (e.g. pig feet, chicken feet, etc), no eyeballs, no testicles.

Won't eat anything that is served in Styrofoam or "leftovers" that come home in Styrofoam. This is a real weird one from somebody who will eat from any street vendor in Thailand or Mexico...

Mushrooms.

When I look at sliced mushrooms all I can think is "so that's what slugs
look like after you run em through a meat slicer"

Beets, liver (although I eat chicken liver & onions about once every 5 years), raw fish (sorry that's bait), pig or chicken feet (I've eaten them but I can't get over the toe nails).

The only organ meat I eat is heart. It's pure muscle. No fat. I make a great tasting stuffed deer heart. Only problem is having to shoot them in the neck so you can harvest them whole.

Well, no doubt if I was starving I would eat anything at all. I work hard at avoiding survival situations. I prefer to stay close to civilization.

Organ meat as most have said and mushrooms. Also egg plant

what's the deal with organ meat?
You guys do realize it's one of the healthiest things you can eat right?

I'll eat anything but beef liver... I have tried it every way! I have heard the "My mom makes it taste just like chicken fried steak" BS! I love pork liver in Braunschweiger though!

Picky eater thread?

There is literally NOTHING I do not eat. That said, I stay away from processed food and industrial meat, especially chicken ...

Tough luck if you come to my house. Gumbo? It will have every small game animal in it that couldn't get away quick enough and those pesky tough parts of animals like feet, hearts, tongues .... I even include road kill (personally run over). ;)

I'll try just about anything once. I love mushrooms, but they are much better fresh than canned.
Ranch Dressing is the shizzle! It makes almost everything better, but I don't eat that much of it these days.
I haven't found many cheeses that I don't like, blue, soft, hard, ripe, whatever.
Unagi or Anago eel sushi, super yum!
Calamari is ok.

I can't say that I've ever had sea cucumber. I guess I'd probably try it.

I tried tongue last summer. The flavor was good, but I wouldn't ever order it on purpose.

Liver whether it be calves or chicken or braunschweiger (sp?) is all yummy.

Never had tripe, and don't really have a desire to try it, but if some was plopped in front of me...

Yeah, I don't think I'd like to eat anything that still looks like it did before it was cooked, chicken or pigs feet, sheeps head, eye balls, testicles. I may not try any of those if given the chance. I also don't have any desire to eat bugs, tarantulas, scorpions, etc...

I would like to try a durian fruit.

I had it fresh in southeast Asia. There is nothing like it. I liked it. I do think it is better processed, i.e. ice cream. But if it is really fresh, straight up ain't bad. Just don't burp! You can get it frozen at the Asian supermarkets. You should buy one as a party gift next BBQ you attend.

OK, I'll give you that, beef liver has a very unique and very strong flavor.
I make ground burger using it from time to time. Mix 3 parts 85/15 beef, 1 part liver, 1 part bacon....you can still taste the liver, but it's not as bad and it's dirt cheap for an incredible protein source. I think I pay $2.50/lb for grass fed liver.

There's an Asian Grocery store a couple of miles from my house. I'm pretty sure they sell them there. I just haven't worked up the nerve to buy one.

okay..remove those two points..and i would eat anything..except testicles. the texture gets me in the wrong way.

bugs, organ meats, sweet breads..whatever. my asian food kung fu takes over and i just go for it.

okay, i might not eat CRAZY foods like placenta, or drink blood..there is nothing that grows out of the earth i wont eat.

Veal, for sure, for the cruel way those poor calves are treated, but hey, I'm a ranch kid, so I have some empathy for those poor things. Liver for sure for the way it tastes. Oysters just because. Beef and lamb reluctantly - why is it my job to kill a living being so I can eat its flesh? Eggplant. Ocra. Insects - any insect. Turkey and chicken - vegetables with feet, so they're OK, mostly.

Tripe and chitlins are actually good if prepared and cooked correctly. The same goes for sweetbreads. Brains I am not too fond of, but if fried right, they are palatable. One of the weirdest things I ate growing up is when my dad would go fishing, he would bring home trout and when he would gut and clean them, he would put the roe sacks to the side. My mom would batter and fry them like pieces of fish and we would have them for breakfast the next day with eggs, bacon, toast and left over ranch potatoes from the night before.
