No, I will not eat Spam..ever. It is nasty white trash garbage and it should be illegal. I would eat PeeWee Hermans ass before I'd eat Spam. I also hate ham, though I know other people love it. Ham tastes like a lump of gristle buried in salt to me. No thanks. I will not eat beets because they just don't taste good enough to risk getting that red stuff on me. And I will not eat raisins. They are the wrinkled anal warts of Satan and I curse anyone who ruins perfectly good cookies and trail mix with the little disgusting dingle berries.*
What about you? What foods do you hate?
i won't pork anymore....after i got severe food poisoning from ham, that was it!
ReplyDeletei also won't eat brussel sprouts, grapes (though i like grape jelly and raisins), tomatoes (though i eat tomato sauce, ketchup, etc) just not THE tomato, and won't drink milk....soy milk yes, dairy milk NO....
My biggest 'yuck' food is goat cheese. I just can't stand it - the taste, the smell. I like a lot of different types of cheese but something about the smell and taste of goat cheese just makes me want to hurl.
ReplyDeleteLiver, brussel sprouts, beets and cottage cheese.
ReplyDeleteI won't eat ham after my son showed me an experiment with pork in high school. I also dislike certain seafoods, strawberry jelly, and non deli lunchmeat.
ReplyDeleteI hate fish, and anything that tastes like it's been in the water lol (and me born in Maryland..)! I won't eat anything if it has fish in it. I also dislike lamb, and I hate youghert! Looking at cottage cheese will make me barf.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely hate peas and sweet potatoes, so disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI wont drink milk or eat a tomatoe either but I will cook with them
Black-eyed peas. I don't know if it's the taste or the texture or what. I just can't eat them. Blech!
ReplyDeleteYou know that old wives' tale about eating them on new year's for good luck? I'd rather take my chances.
casper
I hate the fuck out of stinky brussel sprouts too. I love goat cheese though. Sweet taters with cinnamon and butter, yummy yummy. Oh, and cottage cheese, I eat a big container of that every two days. I buy them 6 cartons at a time. Lissa loves it too. OMG, cottage cheese and BBQ chips..that's a meal.
ReplyDeleteCasper, I agree, Black-eyed peas are strange. I can tolerate them. I HATE those fucking chick peas. EWW those are weird. I pick them out of the mixed bean package and thow them in the trash.
ReplyDeleteBrussel sprouts, peas, lima beans, mussels, squid, (all slimey seafood), beets, cottage cheese, raisins. There are foods with certain textures that just gag me.
ReplyDeleteI could probably survive on a diet of chocolate and bread - good crusty bakery bread.
Lengua. Thats the cows tongue. With 8 of us and having been somewhat poor herslf, mom fed us cheaply, but plentifully. She would boil, slice and simmer in a tasty mexican red sauce. For the longest time I did not know what it was - pretty much anything tasted good with a sauce and wrapped in a tortilla.
ReplyDeleteOnce I discovered what it was - NO MORE!
And cooked spinach or greens. It's slime. Love raw spinach.
ReplyDeleteI don't like ham either. I have never tried beets, cuz they do not sound apatizing to me. I don't like cottage cheese. I hate olives and mushrooms. I will not eat oysters, or shrimp - They just sound and look gross. I could go on and on and on about the foods I don't like. :D
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever tried Spinach. I probably won't either though, I don't want to look like Popeye
ReplyDeleteSpam is the national food of Hawaii, isn't it? They eat it everyday there. It is even sreved in restaurants there. It was always kind of the poor mans ham. It's not bad fried tho. I haven't had it in a million years. The meat to fat ratio is disgusting. It's almost all white with bits of pink. I don't know whats in it.
ReplyDeleteI love beets. I will eat ham. I will not however eat that Armour hash in a can. EVER! It looks just like Alpo. My husband & son like it. It makes me gag just to smell it. *blech*
rox
My dad used to mash carrots and turnips together and just the smell of it was enough to make me gag. He would try to convince me to eat it by saying "Oh come on honey...it will put hair on your chest" WTF??? When I was four the only place I wanted to have hair was on my head. Canned peas give me the dry heaves to this day, I can't believe they are still on the market.
ReplyDeleteCottage cheese and BBQ chips! Yum! I thought I was the only one who liked that combination.
ReplyDeleteI hate spinach, aspagagus, brussel sprouts, okra, chick peas, beets and those huge honking nuts that come in a can of mixed nuts. Don't know what they're called.
Brazil nuts.
ReplyDeleteI like brussel sprouts and eat green beans and/or green peas every day with scrambled eggs and hot peppers. I wrap spinach leaves and humus with nuts, so the green food phobia here is my joy. I'll never run out of my favorite food.
ReplyDeleteI have eaten monkey, snake, alligator, ostrich, antelope, buried rotten eggs in the Philippines, turtle, and countless bugs and worms, but I will not eat Spam. I'd rather boil my shoe.
Jarhead
I won't eat liver....gak....I can't even think about that quivering mass of brown icky shit. FARK. And I don't want my food to touch on the plate either. I'll scrape it away and if too much mixes together, I'll throw it away.
ReplyDeleteDaphne
Antelope steak is the best meat I ever ate, Jarhead.
ReplyDeleteI will NOT eat tounge! Ewwwww.
I will eat liver and onions if that's all there is. But, not on purpose.
buried rotten eggs in the Philippines?????? WHY?????????????
ReplyDeleteCrabbie, Brazil nuts are good but impossible to crack. They piss me off.
ReplyDeleteyellow Jell-o with that? It comes with it's own yucky jell-o anyways! Remember that gunk it's encased in? Wasn't it invented for men in the trenches fighting WW2? It probably tsated wonderful to them, meat jello and all!
ReplyDeleterox
Love me some spam! Haven't had it for years because it is SOOOOO bad for you fat and salt-wise.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely hate to the point of gagging COCONUT (is that how you spell it?)
Soy milk - another big YUCK!
Canned oysters and sardines. My husband ate that combo once and came in for a kiss. I'm dry heaving just typing this.
ReplyDeleteGosh I like everything I think. Not crazy about coconut. I mean any yummy food can be ruined in poor preparation. I think that is the problem with spam and some ham. Just like chicken noodle soup my husband can make that and I love it. But I have to be pretty hungry to eat Cambells cheap/sloppy version.
ReplyDeleteNow I haven't tried some of those things that are eaten in like the Philippines. um kinda scary but I would probably try it on the promise it wouldn't make me sick. It just sounds rotten.
Feel like anything should be given an honest try.

Tofu is ghastly. It's wet and has a texture that makes me gag.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like I'm the odd man out here. I like everything everyone mentioned (except Jarhead)
ReplyDeleteI won't eat brains or any kind or sweetbreads or Rocky Mountain oysters. I also won't eat catfish.
I do love liver of any kind and I like beef tongue and beef kidneys though my husband told me to never cook those in the house again. Kidneys are kind of stinky when they're being cooked. You have to soak them overnight to get all the urine out.
Other than the few things I mentioned, I like everything. Coming from a big family, we ate cheap. I'll even eat a fried spam sandwich with ketchup.
The one thing I eat that my husband really hates is Limburger cheese on rye bread. I LOVE it!
Cheese in any form. Even cheesecake. Also: cabbage, raisins, turnips, lamb, butter, anything with cloves, cherries, sprouts and liver.
ReplyDeleteI forgot sushi. Sushi is one of the only things I've tried to eat and started heaving at the table.
ReplyDeleteTOFU....OMG! EWWWWW. Satans intestinal lining.
ReplyDeleteSushi..yum, anywhere, anytime.
Yes. Antelope (Nilgai) is lean and delicious. They are huge and multiply quickly. Also Thompson Gazelle.
ReplyDeleteBalut is a popular dish over there. Not bad if you hold your nose and look away....
Jarhead
Kidneys..if you have to soak something to get the unrine out, WHY WOULD YOU EAT IT???????
ReplyDeleteRocky mountain oyseters taste like deep fried chicken gizzards. I am deeply ashamed that I like both. With hot sauce.
What it Balut?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the urine soaked kidneys, Pat. That replaces sushi on the list.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't that many things I really don't like. Lima beans (texture), meat gravy with caraway seeds in it, raisins, and spam. My dad used to like fried spam or spam in sandwiches. My husband likes it, too. I usually ask him to let me know when he's going to fix it so I can leave. It stinks when it cooks. Still stinks when I get home, but not as badly.
ReplyDeleteActually, let me add rhubarb to that list. Growing up, we had big hills of it, and I used to eat it raw all the time when I was playing, and my mom baked lots of rhubarb pies, but one day I just couldn't any more. Makes my mouth water (not in a good way) just thinking about it.
I love any kind of seafood, all veggies--especially brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, beets, asparagus, you name it.
This post made me so hungry that I had to go get a snack. Garlic hummus with multigrain crackers.
Christina
Looking through some of the lists on here, I would say I might add cow's tongue to the list, too. It didn't taste bad, but my mom didn't really know what to do with it, so she just boiled it, and didn't even bother to take the tastebuds off, so, it just looked like a huge, disembodied gray cow's tongue sitting on a platter. Imagine trying to make little kids eat that. I think I wouldn't mind trying tongue again if it was in something rather than looking exactly like what it is. Pickled pig's feet don't really want to go down, either.
ReplyDeleteChristina
Spam, vienna sausage, sardines, most anything you find in the canned meat section, except tuna.
ReplyDeleteI do not like sauerkraut. I also don't like peanut butter out of the jar on anything. I do like it baked into things though. Oh and creamed chip beef on toast (shit on a shingle).
ReplyDeleteParsnips and Lima Beans!
ReplyDeleteBalut is the buried fermented egg.
ReplyDeleteChristina, very nice taste.
Jarhead
Turnips...the more I read, the more I realize I'm a picky eater! Strawberry's--can't even smell them. Are brussle sprouts the same as parsnips? Rhubarb!!! Liver!!!
ReplyDeleteThis got me thinking about things we had as a kids.
My Mom was a plain cook, but a good cook. I don't know if they make it any more--she used to make Corn Beef Hash with fried eggs that she put in the middle of the hash, and then we mixed them together. I think I liked it--I have to look when I go to the market.
I thought Balut was the one with the half developed duck embryo in it. Man, almost made myself yakkity-yak just typing that.
ReplyDeleteNothing, absolutely nothing that comes internally from any animal! I pretty much eat anything else, pretty adventurous. Mosubi rolls are made from Spam and wrapped like sushi with rice and seaweed paper. They are a favorite in Hawaii. Every store sells them at the counter. I thought they were pretty tasty.
ReplyDeleteevery holiday the inlaws make sauerkraut and kielbasa. how the f do you eat something that stinks so bad? not me.
ReplyDeleteI won't eat raisins either, my husband thinks I'm crazy. I think they are grapes (which I love) that had the life sucked out of them, lost their dignity and shriveled up to die. Same with pickles, I love cucumbers but pickles are just plain NASTY.
ReplyDeleteHee. It would be a much shorter list of stuff I will eat. Won't touch stuffed cabbage or stuffed peppers. Not even let someone cook it in my house. Spam or anything else encased in goo. Brussel sprouts, pork,anything that swims and anything creamed."shudder"
ReplyDeletePeg, it appears that you enjoy very "aromatic" foods and your husband does not! I wouldn't eat organ meat, on a bet! And tongue? How are you supposed to chew that? I can feel it now. Oh, yea, thats my tongue. No thank you. I am on your husbdnas side on this one. P-U!
ReplyDeleteRox
Balut..fuck that shit!
ReplyDeleteCoyote, no parsnips are like turnips.
How the fuck can anyone eat a rotten egg??????? The smell alone would kill you.
ReplyDeleteBlood pudding also known as black pudding. Absolutely disgusting. They used to serve it every Thursday when I was in grade school. Thankfully they also served pancakes. Why anyone would choose to eat dried blood over pancakes is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteRox, tongue is good as long as you peel it. Kidneys were dirt cheap so my mom cooked them and we ate them. It was better than going hungry. I just happened to really like them. I prefer them cold right out of the fridge rather than hot. The flour that you dredge them is before cooking makes a gravy. I also like pickled pigs feet. My grandmother is the one that introduced me to the tongue, Limburger cheese, and the pickled pigs feet when I was young.
ReplyDeleteI hate the name but I also like head cheese. Not on a sandwich, but just by the slice.
This week I'm making a pot of ox tail soup. If you've never had ox tails give them a try. They are delicious.
Foods I hate...
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fish person. I don't like weird things like cow tongue or pigs ears. No my stomach can't handle that.
I like to cook but I don't like dealing with poultry. All that salmonella and the required disinfecting of kitchen surfaces and such. It just creeps me out and I can never be too careful.
I took a microbiology class in college and I turned into a vegetarian for about a month after I learned about all the bacteria associated with meat.
Gawd Almighty Peg. It's like alien outter space food.
ReplyDeleteLauren, I agree with you. Raw chicken..eww..I can not touch it anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou can actually see the duck/chicken (your choice)formed and the fluids are certainly felt when you bite. The smell comes through the nose...it's an acquired taste for sure. I laughed when I read your response.
ReplyDeleteThe monkey was freaky because it was in a pot and actually looked human and small, except for the fact that I watched them prepare it. They boiled it in the water they used to wash the dishes.
Peg, you sound like you know what you're doing in the kitchen.
Jarhead
OMFG Jarhead..it's like a horror movie. Would you like some newborn...MONKEY?????? No, I fucking would not and I have a gun so back the fuck up!
ReplyDeleteAnd if someone tried to serve me duck umbilica, they would be pulling a duck egg out their anus. And duck eggs up the anus are never fun. Never.
ReplyDeleteThat's about all I remember from those old Faces of Death movies - that group of people beating the live Monkeys over the head to kill them and eating the raw brains...ewww! Was that even real?
ReplyDeleteI don't eat meat of any kind and mayonaise makes me ill - I like Ranch though...
Who needs a diet plan when you have this thread to read???
ReplyDeleteI refuse to eat:
ReplyDeletetongue
creamed corn
eggplant
oysters
gizzards
radishes
cilantro
mustard or collard greens
grits
salmon
lamb
caviar
cooked carrots
hot peppers of any kind
snails
octopus
fresh ginger
horseradish
okra
picky, huh?
As I have grown my tastes have changed. I hate every veggie on the face of the earth! LOL
ReplyDeleteNow I only hate string beans. Any string bean, pole bean, yellow bean, etc etc. Yuck Yuck Yuck!
I also HATE cooked peppers. I love to eat raw green bell peppers, red peppers, or any color.
You cook that same pepper..Gag!
I won't eat eggs. I can't even stand the smell of eggs cooking. I have to leave the room. That's how bad it is. I also don't like Coke (the drink, ha) or Pepsi. When people find this out about me they always think I am crazy. The only pop I drink is root beer. Speaking of which, my grandmother cannot stand root beer and as soon as she smells it she practically runs away. I guess food quirks run in my family. ;)
ReplyDeleteLiver, most fish, though I do like shell fish, brussel sprouts, beets, onions, lima beans, tongue, any canned veggie other than canned corn or tomato sauce/paste - those I like. I don't like mushrooms, no internal organs or most of the food in the UK. I actually cooked blood pudding when I was over there and it was the most revolting smell ever. Just like cooking blood, which you are.
ReplyDeleteHaggis is musty evil.
Mushrooooooooooooooooms. Yum. Who in blooy hell came up with the vile idea of blood pudding??? Blood is not pudding!!!!!
ReplyDeleteChex mix not so much, Meow Mix and I have to fight off all the boars.
ReplyDeletechopped liver snit snit, Barkfast Squares and I smelling butts sniff sniff.
possium puke, Kibbles Nuggets & Nibbles make my mouth water
spam makes me shudder, now Whiskas
and we're having a social security check party
snowball the oinker.
Cottage cheese, chicken, any meats, raisens and mushrooms. That and any foos that has a slimy texture to it, like squid etc.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't think of anything except meat until I read the comments for prompts: beets (but beet juice is yummy mixed with carrot), any stuffed veg, all meat, fish etc, tofu, tempeh, tvp or any food that pretends to be something it's not including artificially-flavoured foods - they taste like packaging to me. I do love cotton candy though, especially the pink stuff, but it's fantastic when it's fresh-made and only so-so when it's already in the bag.
ReplyDeleteOoh,when can we do favourite comfort foods lists?
Jarhead, my grand-uncle (war hero from 1941's war between Ecuador and Peru) and his troop lost their path in the amazon rainforest and they survived on monkey meat until they found their way back. They had no condiments, no salt nothing.
ReplyDeleteI will not eat tongue, kidneys, liver (yuck!), lungs, heart.
I will not eat anything with coagulated blood in it. The indigenous tribes of the highlands in Ecuador (my homeland) will make a soup called 'yaguarlocro', or 'blood soup'. It has cubed coagulated blood in it, so very NOT appetizing.
No PB&J sandwiches, no green bell peppers (unless they are cooked in and I don't see them, I cook with them, but I chop them really small), no canned ready soup, no tofu ew!, no catfish, no guinea pigs (yes, in Ecuador it is very popular, deep fried whole guinea pigs....YUUUUUCK!!!), no bull's testicles (considered an aphrodesiac in EC), and absolutely no grape flavored anything, but real grapes yes. Unless I'm on survival mode I won't eat any of that. I used to like bacon, but now just the smell of it when I'm frying it for the hubs makes me gag. Can't stand the taste of jalapenos. Any other heat source is fine, but not jalapenos. No cashews, ew. No corned beef or anything that has remotely any fennel/anis like flavor in it.
I like brussel sprouts, asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, cabbage, red yellow and orange bell peppers, basil, raisins (yes RAISINS!), most seafood. Red meat, pork and chicken I can take or leave, won't miss it if I don't have it. And avocados, mmmmmmmmmm. I love the chili-garlic sauce, beans, cilantro a little goes a looooooong way, tomatos, onions, nuts, eggs, etc.
I will eat cow stomach, when you boil that thing down in the pressure cooker with condiments and spices it gets tender melt-in-your-mouth, and then finish cooking it in a peanut sauce with diced potatoes, delicious. The broth is delicious too. Haven't had it in years though.
And I like my eggs over medium, with juicy yolk. No runny whites, runny egg whites are disgusting!!
Crap, I knew sooner or later I'd be cursed by the DD. I love raisins, even the yellow sultanas . I put them in cookies and cereals and eat them first from the mueseli box, then deny it.
ReplyDeleteHi Meissa, BravoZulu(good job) to your grand-uncle. I ate the monkey in Central American jungle, and they also prepared a blood sausage that was very tasty. "Nothing angrier than an empty belly". -Homer
ReplyDeleteThat was jarhead above
ReplyDeleteHey, sister of a different mother.
ReplyDeleteI will not eat sweet potatoes, although I do try them yearly. I feel one should give yucky foods a chance now and then. And I still hate them (it goes back to a childhood episode when all we had to eat were sweet potatoes for a week or so ... ick).
Those "circus peanuts" candies. Ick. And "orange slice" candies. Ick.
Any hard candy in a ribbon shape.
My husband is from Los Angeles, plus lived in Okinawa for awhile. He loves calamari (octopus). Ick! I would never eat that. I'm a land-locked girl, I hate seafood. It smells bad.
Oddly, he loves my southern food...fried green tomatoes, biscuits and gravy, red-eye gravy. He's adapted to me far better than I have to him, I guess. I just cannot imagine cooking a tiny octopus. Ick!
I forgot something, my mother used to make a raisin pie. Everyone loved it, except me. It was like eating plump flies baked in a sweet sauce. Ick. I'd bite into a raisin and gag, imagining it to be one of those fat flies that buzz around in summer.
ReplyDeleteRegarding blood pudding, my uneducated guess would be that way back when they had to think of ways to make food out of anything for survival, so they decided to make a meal out of leftover animal blood. Now why they have continued to make this disgusting piece of yuck and serve it to Swedish school children, that I have absolutely no idea about.
ReplyDeleteExcellent protein source Mich, the Spartan black broth of fame, Great Gama the Indian wrestler, and African Kalahari bushmen all drink the blood as protein.
ReplyDeleteI chewed on a chap stick for two days to calm my belly during desert training. I would chew it like gum and put it back in my canteen for later. I went dumpster diving during Ranger school, an offense that would merit discharge from the course, but hunger is an animal.
After 48 hours we received a class on proper killing and preparing of the animals they had caged behind them. Rabbit, chickens, squirrels, and assorted veg like onions and radishes and lettuce. All piled up in front of the starving Ranger students.
Needless to say that when we were cut loose on the food, it was a Viking meal of sorts.
Jarhead
ewww ya spam is gross.It reminds me of dog food or cat food. Specially with that fat jelly on it ug gross.
ReplyDeleteI will not eat reg tomatos and canones, mushrooms, red meat, pork, mushroom soup, rasins, milk, ice cream, yogert eww, some fish, mayo,
Ack! What a topic!
ReplyDeleteBeef tongue, taste bugs ick
sausage, you know what the casing is, right?
Spam, ewwww!
Goat cheese, tried it last weekend and my friend and I are still laughing about the "dumpster cheese" major bad aftertaste...
Brain, never ate it, but saw it sitting on my grandmother's counter, scared me as a child
Raisin pie? OH, gowd just shoot me instead. I don't like ice cream much either. I don't care for chocolate either. Sasage casings are intesines. Poop chutes. That's what they are. Yummy poop chutes. People will eat anything, this post proved it.
ReplyDeleteJarhead why are any of our boys hungry? That's so wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt's all part of the training. Hunger, sleep deprivation, stress, humiliation, interrogation, etc. Just like a marriage.
ReplyDeleteDesigned to break you down to a level where if you find yourself in that situation, then your body doesn't shut down, it reacts to the training. And it builds unit integrity.
Jarhead
LOL. Damn. Well, I guess I've had me some training then. Ya know?
ReplyDeletePoop chutes! ewww. That's another thing people in South America eat: grilled intestines. You go to any grill house (ecuadorian, argentinian, or uruguayan) and they bring you a small table grill with all the meats sizzling ( beef, pork and chicken) and some small intestines on the side. UGH UGH yuck !!!
ReplyDeleteJarhead, thanks! My grand uncle was one of the officers in the ground force to be awarded a medal from our Congress, after that war. He passed away three years ago, I think he was about 90? and was buried with honors. I miss him. He was indeed a great man. His brothers, including my grandfather (mom's dad), also were high officers in the ecuadorian Army, only one of them is still alive.
I used to say I'll try anything once, but, not after this post. Uhh uh.
ReplyDeleteOh, come on, DD! You really don't wanna try chinchulines? (that's the name for grilled small intestine)
ReplyDeleteJarhead ~ Did you ever have Nuoc Mam? The Ex had been in Nam in the early 70s. When he wanted to gross me out he'd start talking about eating it. Think it was fish heads & rice. Very disgusting stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh, Meissa if I was in another country and they served it, I probably would. I've eaten some pretty weird shit..not as weird as Jarhead though. BLeeeee.
ReplyDeleteI will eat just about anything! I love all Thai Food, Sushi, Korean, Peruvian, Armenian, Indian and Chinese!
ReplyDeleteI am reading these lists and am wondering if most of these Hated foods are food allergies. Most people with food allergies have violent reactions to food they cannot eat!
Which brings me to my avoided foods:
AVOCADO something with the texture, makes my tongue itch.
Same with all MELONS, not watermelon.
melons make me bloated.
So does White Rice, can't touch the stuff.
Tomatoe Sauce sometimes is no good to my belly.
DON'T LIKE OKRA, Slimy little things remind me of my mother in law.
Some of the Internal Organs, can't deal. Chicken will make me gag sometimes.
other than that, I can eat it all!
bima
Grits (didn't think humans could fuck up corn but obviously was wrong)
ReplyDeletecheese in a can
margarine
crisco
instant taters
hamburger helper
gravy in a can, jar or envelope
canned soup (except mater)
canned vegetables espescially peas and asparagus and spinich
kipper snacks
escrow
Undercooked fried eggs with snotty looking egg whites make me hurl, ditto for anything with tarragon in it. Yuck. Coconut. Bleh. Oh yeah, don't want to forget uni-it has the look and texture of baby shit, and although I haven't sampled baby shit, I'd guess uni also tastes like baby shit. I'd say I hate snails but technically I wouldn't know as I will never allow one to pass my lips.
ReplyDeleteAnother one I just thought of: caviar. Ick!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I decided we should try this stuff; we bought a fairly expensive tiny jar of it (I don't know what kind, at this point it doesn't matter, we were trying to be "classy" lol).
So back home, armed with crackers, we tried it. Ewwww. I felt like Tom Hanks in "Big", trying to wipe it out of my mouth.
We spewed and icked around, using many paper towels.
The tiny eggs crunch and burst open between your teeth! How nasty! Then there is the taste. Ick.
And Pat, I'm amazed once again... I, too, can take or leave both ice cream and chocolate. I'm not a fan of either. They both get a shoulder shrug from me.
Hi CJ,
ReplyDeleteNo I have not had much Vietnamese other than Pho beef stew with mint and veg. I bet the fish head soup is delicious though.
Portuguese love all that fish head stuff. My Grandpa was from Santander, Spain and I recall going to Portugal and watching guys dig in to them fish heads.
Jarhead
Caviar..I've had it once. I liked it okay, it's not like I'd go buy it though.
ReplyDelete
