I can eat lemon raw, with salt sprinkled on them is god tier, but it wreaks havoc on my teeth, so I don't do it often.
Also, it depends who you ask but I looove artichokes and lots of people seem to think they taste like grass :(
These are what I love that some people absolutely HATE (but of course, there are probably some who like them too):
- Spinach
- Eggplant
- Artichoke hearts
- Onion/garlic
- Lotus root
- Daikon
- ALL kinds of mushrooms
- Seaweed
- Pig's blood
- Pig's ears
- Tripe
- Preserved eggs
- Any and all kinds of cheese
- Raw fish
- Anchovies
- Sea urchin
- Squid/octopus/CUTTLEFISH!!! :p
Errr...Frog legs? I can't think of anything I make a habit of eating that most people avoid, I'll just usually eat anything - Behemoths can't be chooers!
I like or love everything that has been mentioned thus far, insofar as I have tasted them (ie. I wouldn't know if I like pig's blood/ears, tripe, sea urchin, etc.).
Raw Ginger, sprouts, kale, broccoli, cauliflower
You see how most people mention vegetables? What are we children??
I remember in high school we had the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever. I would get a cookie and a slice of pizza once a week when I had the cash. One day, I could afford two cookies and a slice of pizza! I broke up one of the cookies into tiny pieces and stuck it on my pizza like a topping. BEST THING EVER. Everyone else thought I was disgusting.
Bluecheese
I mean I know a few that like it, but most don't.
I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't like it, so that means I must have liked it since I was like idk 6 years old?
Cream Soda apparently.
Beets
Radishes
Cream Soda (sorry DD, we have to share)
Real Ginger Ale (it's like a carbonated ginger root. everyone else I know hates it.)
Polk Salad
Licorice
Red Licorice
Jicama
Duck
Rabbit
Turtle
What about weird food combinations? I brought this up in #tot a few days ago. My favorite that no one likes is dill pickles and peanut butter. I know, I'm smurfing weird.
BRUSSELSPROUTS AND MALT VINEGAR SOAKED EVERYTHING.
lol china
i eat fish eyes, brains, cheeks(betcha didn't know they have cheeks), and almost everything edible in shellfish except the digestive tract
Fish cheeks are where the most tender part of the fish is, everybody who's anybody makes sure they take the meat from the cheeks.
Who doesn't like that? Aside from weird mormons, I mean.Quote:

I hate licorice. However red licorice (assuming we're talking about the same thing) is absolutely amazing.

There you have it, Rantz. Most people I know hate licorice. Nothing mentioned here is something I don't like. Face it, we're odd birds.Quote:

I want to add beets and cauliflower and blue cheese to my list as well http://forums.eyesonff.images/eoff_s.../lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.images/eoff_s.../lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.images/eoff_s.../lovesmile.gif
You guys can add me to the Cream Soda list, I love it <3
Also, in regard to the peanut butter and pickles thing: That's a pretty common combination over here in the PacNW, so you're not entirely alone there!
As for licorice... I don't like black, but red is okay.
Cream Soda is delicious.
Also I can eat pretty much anything you guys have listed here. I'm not a picky eater.
Although a lot of people don't really like hearing about tripas or lengua once they found out what it is.
I like fresh spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and jalapenos!
I think most of the things in this thread are things that most people like. Brussel sprouts and spinach are stereotyplically "icky," but I know very few people who actually dislike them. Same for a lot of foods in this thread.
tl;dr You all fail. Except for AngelWings for pig's blood, preserved eggs, and sea urchin.
Brussel Sprouts are quite possibly the single worst 'foodstuff' ever created. smurf God and the horse he wrode in on.
You are officially my hero (and not just because you're the only one to respond to the census in the last seven hours), if only because I would like to try the blood of various animals. Not sure I'd try pig's blood since I don't like every other part of a pig I've ever tried, but if it tastes anything like the stuff I bleed out on occasion it may not be too bad.Quote:

Raspberry Soda~
Pig's Blood Soup (I believe it's mixed with gelatin so that you can cut it into cubes):Quote:

All sooooooooo gooooooooood!:squee:
The only one of those I've tried is uni (twice), but I hate it. I like squid and small roe and the like though.
I think it is completely one's personal taste...my parents and brother HATE uni....so I usually get to eat all of it without feeling guilty :D
My boyfriend doesn't like squid or shellfish as much as I do...so I get to eat more of that too :D Life is good...
I actually love ikura too..I could eat it by itself...I love how it "pops" in your mouth:

Chicken livers?
Chicken livers can't be that much worse than stuff like cow's liver, can it? And that's not bad at all.
Raw ginger on bread
Eel
Olives (at least all my friends dislike olives...)
Shoots
Tree leaves (I find birch tree leaves tasty)
You could say 10-Breaker eats shoots and leaves.Quote:

I love eel.
Maple leaves are nature's tortilla.
I love eel and bamboo shoots too :love:
Wait...since when do people hate Cream Soda? I love it! :o And I love broccoli, which for some reason a lot of people I know seem to hate. Poor broccoli. It tastes so good but is so misunderstood.
You know, I've never had a problem with cream soda either (and I actually don't like carbonated beverages with the exception of beer).
Next time I go back to Japan, I am determined to try a dancing squid: Would You Eat A Dancing Squid? - YouTube
And live lobster sashimi: Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern - Live Lobster Sashimi - YouTube
BUT...I don't think I could bring myself to try live octopus in Korea: Eating Live Octopus - YouTube
I don't understand the cream soda related hatred!
Southerners at university never understood the delights of chips & gravy or chips & curry. I feel they were spiritually poorer because of this.
I have to agree with Rantzien and Shlup - 99% of the stuff mentioned in this thread are not gross or bad tasting things. I think I like everything that's been mentioned so far, actually - if I have tasted it, that is.
I too love pig's blood. Also, pig's ears make for a great snack. I really am one of those asians that happily eats any part of certain animals (stuff like dogs and cats aren't cool by me, not that I'd even know where to get 'em).
My favourite drink at the moment is Rock Salt and Cheese Ice Green Tea. Awesome.
Fried cabbage. That's all I can think of right now.
The only one that comes to mind is Brocoli. I love it, sometimes i'll even eat a whole tree (in lamen terms that just means one bunch) :p
Anyone else here drink buttermilk? I usually don't like it, but once in a great while I'll have some.
I'll eat any kind of food. People don't like spinach, I'll eat it. People don't like sardines or anchovies, I'll eat it.
My main concern is where the product is coming from. These foods don't taste the same universally. It could be that I've found a company that makes exceptional sardines, etc.
Or maybe my palette expands more as my stomach goes for days without food. I didn't like Skippy peanut butter when it was first introduced into our household, but now that I've ran out of JIF, it's suddenly awesome.
But I've pretty much always been one to try any food at least once. Unless it's something my mom is forcing on me. Then I automatically think that she thinks I'm gonna think it's gross and is just forcing it on me to spite me. I don't know why. I don't trust my mom. It's really sad.
I eat pretty much everything. I say pretty much because someone will invariably say something like "oh do you eat X" where X is something not normally considered food or is a delicacy in some other random ass country.
I will say that people who dislike Brussels Sprouts are tremendously ill people who deserve nothing short of death.
This isn't a food, but the smell of any kind of vinegar, be it white, balsamic, apple, etc, makes me drool uncontrollably. I loooooove vinegar on every kind of savory food.
Ozzy Osborne devoured the oily treasures that fell out of Alice Cooper's rear... rumor has it, he also bit the head off a bat. The first story is true. The second is a lie.Quote:
