The Dutch eat hagelslag for breakfast - hundreds and thousands on a sandwich. They are weird

Swedish. Can't say I read a lot of cooking books...
Did she write non-cooking books as well?
I bet you'd like callos a la madrileño (the most popular Spanish tripe dish. My partner's father, a tripe hater, tried it and loved it. Until told what it was, after which he wouldn't eat any more
A Manchester-based Spanish chef in the 70s is quoted as saying "English style tripe is like a woman who's just got out of bed in the morning. Spanish tripe is after she has done her hair and makeup". I'm not sure if you'd get away with such a quip these days but I know what he means.

No, she was a professional cook
School dinners put me off custard, especially that pink stuffAny form of custard
I've eaten loads of cucumber today. First in a tzatziki then in a smashed cucumber salad with soy, sesame oil and chilli oil. The perfect accompaniment to spicy bbq'd chicken
Liver and kidneys are great too. I know what you mean about the texture of liver if it's badly cooked but not kidneys.
And as for sushi, presumably you're referring to the raw fish element. Well, that's delicious too.
In short Mr Easy, you're wrong. Very wrong
I’ll try anything. The only thing I would not eat again is jellies eels. Eels are fine, jellied not so fine.

Parsnips and sprouts - vile.
Oh ok. I know there was a rather prominent finlandssvensk family called Nyberg with a bunch of writers and professors but maybe not the same?
Professional cook is better though. Food > Books.
You wouldn't choose tripe, but you like offal. I thought tripe was offal?

One of my food dislikes is a little strange. Raw tomato like you might have in a salad or sandwich makes me heave. Yet i enjoy it in almost every other cooked form like pasta sauces, soup, pizza, ketchup, bolognese.

I recall buying a tuna sandwich at a service station once, ignorant of the fact that some cucumber was lurking within. One bite later, the offending snack was rapidly winging its way out of the window at 75mph onto the hard shoulder of the M42, as I frantically chugged down a Red Bull to evacuate the foul taste from my gaping maw.I've eaten loads of cucumber today.

My mum used to make a liver and bacon casserole. I would sooner eat my own feet than go anywhere near it. Vile.
And raw fish has no place on a plate in civilised society. It just doesn't. Just because you CAN eat something, doesn't mean you should.
In summary, I have never been more right sir.

Hmm. Tripe, yeah. Appropriate name as is horseshit AKA horseradish. Durian - anyone who's spent long in east Asia will be familiar with this fruit. Looks like shit, smells like shit, tastes like shit. What else? Jellyfish, Australian/NZ copies that will not be named of Marmite, mustard (awaits flaming), parsnips, swedes, saurkraut, kimchi, custard, most offal (another apt name).

With little sausages on toast, some grated cheese and worcester sauce ?
An absolutely PERFECT can't-be-arsed evening meal from a tin. Or a cheap late night post-pub banquet, if the queue at the kebab shop was too long.
Jacket potato, baked beans and grated cheese. Wholesome and simple dinner.

I love tin food but just the smell of that insipid sweet glue they swim in makes we want to vomit.
I had breakfast in a café the other day and they served the beans in a jar on the side. I hate the smell so much I had to take them to the counter.
I hate the smell of baked beans more than mushrooms.

Parsnips
spinach.
beetroot. My dad used to cook it and the smell made me feel sick.
shellfish - oysters, mussels etc…. But love fish.
runny French cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
had a French sausage once which had sort of entrails in it - yuk…… but love liver, kidneys and the like.
