Food that you or people-who-are-not-you find disgusting

Great Cartoonist · 01-24-2010, 04:17 PM

At least one person will feel sick after reading this thread.

Recently I had the good fortune of trying out blood sausage for the first time. It was alright, but the filler was barley and oats so it felt kind of like Chinese preserved egg yolk without the Chinese preserved egg yolk flavor.
Personally I'd take raw sausage over blood sausage.

Herring that's been left to rot in a barrel for at least a year. This is a real thing that people eat at grand occasions in Sweden. (Usually midsummer.) They open the tin cans, tear up from the smell, take out the fish, bone it and put it on sandwiches with boiled potatoes and wash it down with hard liqor.

Funny, at xmas ham is the traditional centerpiece of the table. Our essential highlight-of-the-year foods are both sandwich toppings.

But anyway, the rotten herring. It can stink up an average house for weeks. It's the only food in existence that makes me gag if I try to eat it.

No one seems to like my incredibly sour Indian pickles.

More for me.

I had some ox tongue the other day. Surprisingly good but near impossible to eat- so tough.
Also sheep brain is pretty tasty. Like you eat through the meat and then you get a little pudding at the top of the animal.

I do not like cheese.

You can all stop staring now.

It's really spoiled milk you're eating, you know?

Most cheese and Jewish food - falafel and the like. I also dislike sauces. Special sauce, mayonaise, cream cheese, cheese whiz, McSauce, spread, whatever. I just like mustard - both regular and dijon, and salad dressing.

I do believe that was the reason why the Chinese didn't like cheese either.
Still, people will eat disgusting things if they're desperate enough.

In a similar vein, alcoholic drinks are the result of fermenting specific substances, like starches and grape juice.

Same. Unless it's on a pizza. Also: yogurt. Makes me want to gag.

I mean, fair enough.
It's not that it's spoiled milk that I don't like cheese.
I just can't stand it's flavour. I mean, unless it's flavour REALLY compliments the other flavours (ie. is completely disguised by the other ingredients.). Then I don't mind, I suppose.

I like the more exotic cheeses, like Oka, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Roquefort, and Woolwich Chevrai, more than the more familiar cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella. They're expensive, but they're really good.

I draw the line at Casu Marzu, though. Don't like to ingest live parasites and risk getting sick.
