What FOOD can you NOT eat ?

[ROSM]

Edna doesn't like a cucumber eh?

Any coments about her having a truncheon to fall back on would be horribly inappropriate

Seeing as you weren't asking Easy, are you a fan (like me) of the Chinese/Asian Pear? I like to think of it as the third way: & a very handy weapon when I find myself dithering hopelessly in the fruit isle.

I'm not entirely sure I have sampled the wiles of the chinese/asian pear. Unless you are coaxing me, vulnerable and quivering, into LYCHEE territory ? They always remind me of eye sockets, but they're not altogether unpleasant.

Mayo, f***ing HATE the stuff!

And Seafood!

Poor old Kerry....

I am allergic to tuna and certain kinds of shellfish, prawns etc. I just have to SMELL tuna and I start to heave.

Mind you I don't suffer from mercury poisoning that way....

I <3 Cucumbers

I like their freshness, placidity, and englishness.

I am fond of them with Hendricks Gin.

I am fond of them in face wipes et al for their cleansing and refreshing qualities.

We had a Korean student stay with us for a year and she was an awsome cook. She told us about the food they like to eat back home and it made my toes curl.
They are a bit like the french, if it moves, eat it. But she told us that her fav dish was deep fried chickens feet.
Imagine grabbing a bag of those whilst watching match of the day.
If anyone fancies a try, you can get them from Wing Yips at Croydon

I'm surprised 'Long-Pig' hasn't become a firm favourite with those charming Korean types. It seems to becoming increasingly popular with the Stir-Fry mob (allegedly). Might be a handy way of defusing the ol' North/South animosity innit..

 

[ROSM]

I don't do Mushrooms, or the extreme versions of seafood (will do fish, but not smoked salmon, elles, winkles, mussels etc)

It doesn't sound like your vulnerable, quivering self needs much (if any) encouragement from lil' old me, quite frankly. You seem to be teetering on the very cusp of the oh-so-crunchy promised land, & the only thing one needs to do is to take that small step into Fruitopia. You just KNOW you want to.

 

[Notters]

Surprised no-one has mentioned LIQUORICE yet.

 

[Easy 10]

Thats because not many people can spell it.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Tripe. The texure will make you heave. Even before the taste.

And Brawn. - especially in a brain shaped bowl.

BALUT

dont do it people, its WRONG

 

[Trufflehound]

BALUT

dont do it people, its WRONG

Creates entertainment on Philippino buses though, when foreigners buy them from the vendors thinking they're getting a normal boiled egg...

 

[cheeseroll]

BALUT

dont do it people, its WRONG

is absolutely the correct answer!

with the exception of tripe i cant believe the inoccuous (sp?) food that has so far been mentioned until BALUT.

 

[Easy 10]

That is f***ed up on so many levels.

Stop the thread. I want to get off.

 

[Barry Izbak]

I know that I am the only person on this board who cannot stand CURRY.
I find it hard to even stop outside a Curry House in a traffic jam because the smell is so appalling.

I don't eat nuts, because to me it would be like having a mouthful of gravel.
Nor do I eat fish.

When I was at uni I lived in a house with a Chinese couple. One morning (or more likely afternoon) I went into the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal and was greeted by a large pot of chicken feet sitting there on the worktop. I suddenly didn't feel having breakfast.

Was offered Chicken Feet in the Philippines, it's a delicacy apparently.

 

[cheeseroll]

Fried/roast Chicken Feet are not too bad, its the boiled ones that are vomitworthy..

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Korean food is a virtually undiscovered gem in the West. I love kimchi.

Kimchi IMO is frankly quite disgusting. I know there are loads of variations but I have yet to find one that I don't find simply appalling. In fact Korean food is IMHO one of the WORST cuisines I have ever come accross.

I will eat pretty much everything, but cannot see the point of eating cabbage that has been buried for 6 months with a bit of chilli paste thrown in for good measure.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Tomato ... which is a real pi**er when you're half Spanish

 

[Mendoza]

is absolutely the correct answer!

with the exception of tripe i cant believe the inoccuous (sp?) food that has so far been mentioned until BALUT.

indeed, I had long erased it from my memory, i last tried to eat it in 2004, but just couldnt do it. It is a wrong'un

Chicken feet arent too bad, just too boney
