By personal choice, I don't eat pork or beef.

As for food I won't touch:

Popcorn - The smell of it actually makes me gag. When the lil old ladies in my ofc eat it, I usually put lotion on my hands and then put my hand over my nose so I don't have to smell it. If it's really bad, I leave my dept.

Calamari
Oysters
Tofu - tastes like a sponge
Squash
guacamole - looks like baby booboo
okra - for some reason it tastes like slime to me

My mom barbecue'd an armadillo once I asked her what it was, cuz I didn't recognize it. "She said, u don't want it." I begged her to tell me what it was and when she did, I said, "You're right."

I'm sure I could think of more, but I think that's enuff.

Is there a difference? I treat them all the same. uke:

the diff is huge, butch.

miracle whip, while of a similar texture and appearance - is pretty sweet-tasting. at least to my palate.

while mayo has a kinda tangy effect due to the lemon juice.

you absolutely cannot make a "texas-style hamburger" without BOTH "real mayo" and mustard. but there's a little trick to "doing it right".

you have to put the mayo on the "cool-side bun" - the topper that goes above your lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc. and the mustard goes on your "hot-side bun" - the foundational bottom bun beneath your 1/2-pound of beef and hand-sliced, melted, cheddar.

a little sliced jalapeno, a little salt, and a liberal dousing of black pepper - and i'm back in mom's kitchen circa 1975. (God love you mom - you are STILL the queen of the kitchen for me....)

once properly constructed, i like to cut my burger in halves..... i stack 'em pretty high with toppings and they are a lot easier to handle this way. yuuuuuuh-meee!

 

[SuspectCorner]

Talk about a stretch. I really don't eat a lot of pork.

i've never had chitlins. but i've eaten mucho beef tripe in the boatloads of menudo i've consumed. i prefer it with hominy but don't consider it absolutely necessary to a good batch.

no amount of aspirin or red-beers can rival menudo as a hangover cure. it's the best antidote to a "late night" i've ever come across. a little oregano, squeeze of lime, and some tortillas or french loaf... you'll be back to normal before you see the bottom of your first bowl.

I hate mayo. If it's on something catered in I'll refuse to eat it and fill up on something else.

People up in the northern parts of sweden eat rotten herring. I have not tried it and people say it tastes better than it smells. I sure hope so because the smell is enough to make you gag.

... It's called Lutefisk. Not my favourite either.

Nope. Lutfisk is something else. Thats also pretty disgusting but not in the same class as surströmming as the rotten or fermented fish is called, loosely translates to sour herring.

I had a buddy from Australia who talked me into trying vegemite one time.

Take my word for it, stay the hell away.

Can not stand raw onions or peppers (unless it is banana peppers or jalepenos and I don't eat the jalepenos anymore as they just kill me)
Now if onions or peppers are cooked to season something (ala chili ) then I don't have much problem with them.

While in Korea I learned that I just can not stand Kimchee.

I also am afraid I probably ate Kaygogee (not sure of the spelling) at one point and did not know it....for those not familiar that is dog.

While in basic training I refused to eat the eggs one time when we were out in the desert....they were GREEN.
They were powdered eggs and they put them in these containers to bring them out to us and something in the containers put a green tint to the eggs.

Drill SGT asked me why I was not eating the eggs...I said "never heard of DR Seuss?" lol

For almost three years I refused to eat any chicken as one field problem I had a form of chicken for all meals for a week....got tired of that real fast. Even now I can only eat chicken every so often.

Agreed... we had a missionary from Australia come and speak at our church...

[CowboyPrincess]

Beets – nasty, nasty, nasty… Can't eat anything that stains everything it touches…
Liver – not since I found out that the “Spanish steak” that my my cooked was an internal organ that broke down contaminants
anchovies – smelly… yuck.. I can’t be in the same room with anchovies.
Chitlins – needs no explanation…
Potted Meat – smells like cat food
Tripes – no way Jose…. I don’t eat internal organs
Menudo – I won’t even listen to the band of the same name…
Ballu (sp?) – The fermented egg buried for months thing – most disgusting food invented
Salmon - just can't do it unless it is smoked and the consistancy of jerky

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I likes me some hominy...

Same here...but sadly it is a RARE thing with the wife fixes it.

Now I can understand her not wanting to fix cooked cabbage or saur kraut...but no hominy. :

Down Under
Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
