foods you cannot stand and won't eat

This can be annoying, but this always works for me

- slice 20mm thick, liberally salt a chopping board

- place the slices on the salt, and salt over the top. leave for 15 mins

- wash all the salt off the Aubergine, and place the sliced on a clean tea-towel/kitchen roll

- press another tea-towel/kitchen roll over the top (with some force), this collapses the retaining moisture cells, and stops them being sponge like. 

- Liberally olive oil the slices, and grill on either side until golden brown. 

I agree sour sponge like aubergine can be awful, but done like this it's one of my favourite foods. 

As this is coming from you, I will certainly give it a try!

Most beans especially Lima beans. Lentils and peas are nasty too. Hate cream of corn but corn on the cob with butter is good.

 

Confucius says; 'Dont cook corn and pee in same pot'

I've tried food from a lot of different ethnic origins, the only thing i can't eat is boiled eggs! ?

[Acclaym]

I'm from New Mexico and the authentic food is outstanding but stomach, intestine, ears, feet, nose of any animal is a mental issue for me.

Brians, I need them, but won't eat them.

Sitting here eating a pizza while my wife eats a calzone. Looking at the calzone makes want to puke. Something from childhood about those nasty things....

For me, it’s got to be tripe and kimchi.

Never had either. Could never get past the smell.

I love a fresh tuna steak done on the grill, but I can never reconcile it as being from the same fish as that monochrome vomit.

If you're unlucky, you really are not having the same fish --

I'm sure Brians love to know they are needed, and even more happy that you do not condone cannibalism....

Perhaps in an apocalypse of poor-spelling zombies, I’m screwed. 

Any eggs besides scrambled eggs.  Over-easy, sunny side up, hard boiled, soft boiled, poached...nope, nope, nope, nope, and hell no.

For me,

Tripe.  As a kid, my mother would slow cook it in tomato sauce for 8 hours and it still had the texture of a pencil eraser.

Pig's Feet. It wasn't always made at my house, but I could smell it a mile away when coming home from school. I would end up eating dinner at a friends house instead.

Cottage cheese.  I used to love it as a kid and now I cringe at the very thought of it.

Liver. See above. Loved it with fried onions.

Snails.  Slimy, snotty critters that drag themselves through dirt? No thanks.

Tofu. Aka "toe food".  Or anything similar to it.

On the liquid side:Milk.  Disgusting. Never drank it as a kid or had it in cereal. I recall trying to drink it once and spewing it into the sink and backsplash.

Mushroom soup and olives. Just the smell of mushroom soup makes me gag.

[poorman]

anything that comes out of the water, sea, lake, river, etc or is an organ - love all veggies and fruits

 

[Baccy]

Cabbage = BARF

[GrouchoMarx]

I'm one who will try (almost) anything once, there's not much I won't eat 

1- that marmite / vegemite stuff has 10-ft pole marks all over it.

2- insects of any kind 

3- about 1/3 of my wife's cooking.

I refuse to eat Chinese food.

It's not that I don't like it, but the fact that the ingredients are so incredibly cheap and they charge so much for it makes me sick.

I find this comment quite interesting, Are you talking about takeaway Chinese food, or restaurant quality?.   Do you not find pizza much more offensive? the people I know who own restaurants, see pizza pretty much like printing money. i.e a hand full of flour, and and a scant covering of very cheap ingredients.  For a £15 pizza, I would be surprised if the cost price of the ingredient would total £1.

You haven’t had real Chinese food...

[dangolf18]

Any cheese that's not made from cow's milk, offal, and extremely pungent fermented foods. I'll eat almost anything else.

[Randy956]

Liver. Liver of any kind.

[Randy956]

I have. Been to China many times. It isn’t my favorite food choice.

[luv2fly]

I love Chinese.  We have several great restaurants and many so so ones here.  I love it all.

The protein can only be chicken, beef, pork or shrimp.  Can't do anything else.

This I get. I was commenting on the perceived high margin.

[TNT009]

Ohhh, I forgot Mac n Cheese!

Slimy texture, yuk!
