The other two things the OP mentioned, I've absolutely no idea what they are...

The only correct way to eat chips ("fries") is with salt and vinegar out of a sheet of newspaper. This is well known!

Sweetpea · 02-04-2011, 02:22 PM

a pointy bag, yes. A sheet of newspaper and having ink all over your fries, no thank you

I agree 100%.

The Marmite commercial is one of the best commercials I've seen in ages. (I live in Malaysia, there are no commercials)

The thought of 100 year eggs will always make my stomach roll a bit, I got conned into trying one, in my defense, I had had a lot of whiskey before hand.

What's up with women, why when they try something that they don't like the taste of, do they insist that we try it?
"Oh god this is awful, here, try it!"
"This milk tastes spoiled, you taste it"

Kim Chee is great, awesome with Bulgo ghee <SP> and rice wine.

Tsss, there's no such thing. You should just call them fries (or even better: Belgian fries!), the french had nothing to do with it

He's the best pancake and omellete maker, but never ever Brussels sprouts again!

Ooooh, I love sprouts. I made soup out of Brussels sprouts last weekend, delicious with some bacon. Nom nom nom

Frietsaus ! Or cocktailsaus ! Both are delicious on fries.

The thing I'll never ever eat again is ... peanutbutter. Yuck.

I spent two years of my youth stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. Spent a bit of time in nearly every country in the Western Pacific.

I've eaten:

Whale, Squid, Octopus, various types of raw fish, street cooked mystery meats, raw fish roe and Kimchee. Only thing I'll not try again is raw Jellyfish.

One of the ships I was on had a Chief Petty Officer who would head to shore everytime we hit the Philippines for a dozen Baluts and sit in the Cheif's mess devouring them one at a time (mostly by himself). Little beaks and bones.. Ugh..

desertblues · 02-04-2011, 03:15 PM

I had a very absentminded mother, who sometimes would forget to give us food; so we practically ate everything, but the one thing I never, ever liked or will like.......buttermilk....yuck,yuck,yuck and another yuck.

This thread reminds me of the flap the President Bush Sr. created early in his term. He said; “I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.”

Broccoli farmers drove their produce trucks for hundreds of miles to protest in front of the White House!

Beef liver. My dad loved it, and so my mom and grandma both fixed it, and I had to try it...but no.
Fortunately, my parents weren't the kind that forced me to eat things I hated. I wasn't a picky eater then and there are only a few things I won't eat now.

Preferably the London Times, with battered and fried North Sea whitefish. One of my fondest memories of my frequent trips to Scotland in a former life. I’ve searched the US in vain for a decent plate of fish ‘n’ chips!

The Scottish fish ‘n’ chips joints usually also served haggis, now you can keep that!

Speaking of "street cooked mystery meats", the few times I was in Rota Spain the street vendors would serve it on a stick. Best guess about what it was, aside from rats and cats, was Gibraltar monkey. Safer just sticking with the calamari! At least we knew it was squid.

Mmmmm.. Buttermilk. Alright on it's own, but makes a great base for so many wonderful things. Buttermilk Pudding.

We used to call it 'Monkey Meat' in the Philippines. Never asked, but it smelled sooooo good..

I've eaten quite a few icky things in Croatia:

Lambs brains - eaten right from the skull (the lamb was roasted on a spit). The taste wasn't bad - very bland, actually, but the texture was much too mushy. Not nearly as disgusting as you would think, though; I'd eat it again. Why did I eat lamb's brains, you ask? When people here roast a lamb, they'll often say that you should eat the part of the animal that you feel you need more of, so I decided to try the brain. The testicles (also called "white kidneys") and eyes are also considered a delicacy by many; I'd rather try my hand at lasik eye surgery, thanks.

If it swims in the Adriatic sea, I've probably eaten it at least once, but I am grosses out by a few of the seafood dishes that are considered specialties here:

Sepia (cuttlefish). I get dry heaves when I smell sepia. I'm not exaggerating. I can't get withing 10 metres of boiled sepia, especially. I can handle sitting near black sepia ink risotto, but that's as far as I'll go. There is another sea-creature similar to Sepia here, called prč (I'm sorry, but I don't know what it's called in English, or what the "standard" Croatian term for it is, if there is one; fish names here vary from town to town, sometimes (usually, actually) greatly, and I really don't think that the names of most seafood items are standardized, as coastal Croatian speech is held in very poor regard in the capital; the capital city is not on the coast. Croatian linguistic politics are nasty, let me tell you.), that I also can't get within 10 metres of.

People here love it, I can't stand it. The smell of brussel sprouts and cauliflower makes me gag, too.

Shark. BBQ shark is great, very tasty. I'm o.k. with octopus, and eel (but I won't eat the skin), too. Dried octopus and dried shark, that I find tough and slightly gross tasting, so I won't be eating that again.

I really, really don't like sea snails. I used to like escargot (the little ones, with lots of garlic, vinegar, parsley and olive oil), but I find that I'm a little repulsed by them lately.

I hate tripe. I hate pigs feet with a passion (I don't like pork in general, and I never make any sort of pork dishes; I will sometimes eat a bit or two just to be polite if someone else serves it to me, though. And I do like boar, I make a mean boar stew, if I do say so myself). I can handle liver and blood sausage, but I don't particularly like either.

I can't speak for Spain, but I never order calamari here in Croatia. They often give you the cheap stuff. (By cheap stuff I mean they'll give you European flying squid instead of loligo vulgaris - European squid. They look similar, but the flying squid has tougher meat). They'll tell you that they gave you the good stuff, though, and charge you accordingly! Or, they might serve you imported, frozen squid. Croatian squid is pretty expensive here, by Croatian standards. Similar situation with shrimp.

I love eating. This thread will kill me

The recipe looks great! I can't wait to try it! I also saw a recipe for buttermilk pie recently that I'd like to try out:

http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/20...rmilk-pie.html

I've never had buttermilk pie, but it sure looks delicious. I've also never had kimchi, I'd love to try it, though.

Ah, street meat, it always tempts me.
