What Foods Do You Refuse To Eat?
 

If these were the last items in my fridge, I'd just go hungry. There are things I like, and things I don't like. But these things I just cannot muscle down.

Mushrooms - Just don't like the flavor. You can pick 'em out of a dish, and I can still taste their presence.
Ranch dressing
Blue cheese (and its dressing)
Soft cheeses
Eel - That always goes uneaten (by me) on my sushi platter.
Calamari - Like mushrooms, I just don't dig the taste. The little tentacles don't help, either.
Sea cucumber - Though Mrs. Noah says this doesn't count because how often does this show up on the dinner table in the average household/restaurant?

Noah, I like everything you dislike!
My "not gonna do its" are heart, tongue and balut. Once was enuf with balut.

kidney - don't eat the filter!

Organ meat. Any critter, any organ.

Great, Matt. Next time I'm in Kingston, or you're in LA, we'll go out for a meal together. We'll get along fantastically!

I'm in.
Just so you know, Kingston PA, not Kingston Jamaica maaaan.

Offal, unless it's liver disguised as pâté. Oh, and chicken feet in black bean sauce. Actually, anything with feet in it.

No organ meat for me. Although I have tasted and liked chopped liver pate. I tried tongue, it tasted like corned beef, but I could not get over it being a freakin tongue.

My family, both paternal and maternal, would have sheep head for Easter. My grandfather would split the skull and pluck out the eyes. They ate the brain like it had the cure. Grandpa said the eyes were like candy. I just tried tripe a few years ago, tastes and has the texture of rubber, my wife and mom love it. Mom loved bone marrow. Oh, they BBQ'd brain wrapped in fat, Italian/Greek thing I guess.

Mayonnaise
Ranch or thousand island dressing
Kidney, brains or tongue meat
MRE's, C, K rations (now that I am retired)
Mushrooms


Other than those listed, I eat just about anything. I was a very picky eater as a kid, but once I enlisted it was eat what I got or go hungry. It opened my eyes to many things I didn't think I would like.
I do 99% of the cooking in my house and I do not mind cooking with any of the items listed, I just do not really care for the flavor or texture. Of course I have eaten enough field rations to be able to never want to ever have another.

Asparagross!

Mushrooms. never could enjoy them.

On the other hand, my grandfather used to make tripe. Loved that growing up. Most dont.

Runny eggs of any variety!

I do eat these tonight....some folks won't.

Onions
Cauliflower

Not a fan of anything processed.

And lima beans.

Beets.

I'm fine with rutabagas, turnips, collards, spinach, etc. ...basically all other vegetables, but beets just turn me into a little kid holding his nose and shaking his head.

i wont eat testicles from any animal..

other than that..i'd try pretty much anything if it doesnt jack up my health. i wont eat it if it causes a gout attack, raises my cholesterol, or clogs any of my "tubing".

AND my kumbayah side wont let me eat stuff that is just not cool or sustainable. no birds nest soup, or shark fin soup. (my family freaked out at my wedding dinner, i had to explain it in a speech..to everyone's rolling eyes)..

pretty short list..

I'm pretty wide open on food.....I make a killer beef heart chili.... The hearty ads an incredible richness

Olives, pickles, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers.

Haha I love all of the above. Toss in Uni - oh yeah that's living!

My refuse to eat stuff:

Brussels sprouts, parsley, liver, thanksgiving stuffing.
