I like most food and can tolerate food that I would never choose in a restaurant!
Just to add, I am fairly well traveled and still don't understand how the French are supposedly rated as a nation that can cook! I think that their food is proper shite TBH!
Glad I've found another mushroom hater. They are evil.
Just to prove everyone's taste differ - I would put Monkfish in a "what is all the fuss about" category.
I will quite happily eat:
Buffalo Mozzarella
Avocados
Monkfish
Crab
.. but wouldn't be upset if they disappeared from the planet.
On the subject of mushrooms I tried them all going - in an attempt to really try and understand why anyone in their right mind would eat them. It's not texture or taste (I think) - it's just the smell. I strongly suspect the more highly prized a mushroom, the more likely I'm like to dislike it.
Heaven: Too many to mention, here are a few. Steak and ale pudding, roast beef and Yorkshire pud plus trimmings, nice cheese and pickle roll, apple crumble, a good lasangne.
