to the guy who ate chicken's feet...
my mum makes them sometimes, i think you are supposed to just gnaw the flavoursome skin off of them, rather than crunch the lot...

my most hated foodstuff are white mice penny sweets. i remember being at a friend's birthday when we were about six, and thinking they were normal white chocolate, chomped my way through a handful. Realising they actually tasted fucking awful, i chundered all over his garden. just thinking about them makes me sick.

as an aside, my little brother is allergic to baked beans.

Oh no
I'm quite tolerant of most foods*, but reading other people's descriptions of tuna, celery and so on means there's now an array of food I'm going to think twice about eating. Cheers guys.

*Oh, apart from any meat, and Heinz tinned Macaroni Cheese, which makes Kraft synthetic slices taste like Blue Riband Camembert. Talking of which, the French will eat the ropiest parts of any animal and look down on you for not eating it.

celery is pretty minging... (EDIT : apologies for size)
now people mention it (having not eaten it since i was little)

i'd have to say cheese, most kinds of cheese
mozzarella is nice(becaus it doesnt particularly taste that bad - or of anything), but my reason is this

when you leave milk, and it starts going solid you throw it away, or do you?

some people seem to think that sticking this shit in barrels, churn it a bit, piss in it to make it yellow (the more urea content the more colourful it is), and then some people then like to leave it out in the barn waiting for germs to land on it and shit on it and then wait for that to rot and turn blue because of mold.

cheese is evil, and it turned my brother gay



overly cooked vegetables - mushy goo that has no nutritional content and tastes like shite

raisens - (and other dried fruit)

humans started eating fruit for its water content - raisens are a byproduct of wine
and therefore is waste, why eat it?


macdonalds
its crap - nuff said

brussel sprouts is obvius- any sensiable person aviods them

mushy peas remind me of genetically modified snot - and i'd rather eat snot (hey, kids do it, i'm sure they have a reason to)

i'll add more when i can think of stuff, but there will be more, i'm a very picky eater

I live in Sweden.....
... and it pains me to tell you this, but I have eaten "SurStrömming".
Sprouts are like cadbury's chocolate... and Smoked Eel (eaten here at x-mas) is Yummy in comparison.

Here's how to make it.
Catch Herring.
Clean Herring,
Put Herring in Salt water... and LEAVE IT OUT IN THE SUN. (wankers)
Tin the herring in special corrugated tins that can expand. (this shit FERMENTS)

so... happy summers day and a swede says "Hey... have you tried Surströmming yet?"
"no" says I.
Leif happily produces a Tin that looks like a metal Football. Places it on a fencing post and hands me a rifle... "open it" says he...

A couple of shots later, and the frikking tin's lying on the ground hissing.

So... even the smell of the fetid fish-oil on the approach to the tin makes me gag... this is quite litteraly rotten fish, and you can buy it in the supermarkets. Admittedly when eating it you back it up with shed-loads of vodka and the like, but I honestly have never tasted anything so vile in my entire life.
The purest Absolout failed to strip my pallet of the taste, and god knows, I tried again and again.

Sprouts, (though it is satan's addition to x-mas), are a meal for kings when compared.

In my opinion, anything that needs to be opened at a distance with a firearm should not actually be classed as food... but hell, you have to try everything... right? RIGHT???

simply because they are not subtle enough (in taste, texture or size) to hide in my allergic brother's dinner without him noticing..

Semolina and rice pudding.
Looks like spunk vomit. Makes me puke. Stirring jam into it just makes it look like spunk vomit with period, so stop doing it.

celery
i hate celery simply because of its pure unadultarated pointlessness. if you dont know, it takes more calories to eat/digest celery than you get from it, thus negating the entire point of eating in the first place! the only use for it should be in drinking bloody mary's

ps. wooo! at qotw being back :)

Offal
Is fundamentally wrong. Putting stinking piss-meat into a steak pie is an evil and sacrilegous act and ought to carry a jail sentence.
Semolina, porridge, weetabix and canned pasta in tomato sauce are similarly foul.
Pomegranates however, are truly the fruit of satan, no other foodstuff can match the outrageous frustration / no flavour ratio of this abomination.

Liver.
I was once invited to a dinner party where the hostess had made bolognese sauce with calf's liver.
Worst meal I've had in my life, ink bladder not withstanding.

How does it do it?
Cucumber - tastes of nothing at all.

Get yourself a large donner with extra chilli and garlic sauce and it tastes laaavley. Put a bit of cucumber in it, though, and it makes the whole thing taste of nothing.

Grrr. Paid good money for that kebab too.

Celery.
But whether it hadn't been prepared properly remains a mystery. I was expecting it to taste like lettuce or cucumber or something, but when I tried it for the first (and last) time it tasted like dust.

What is the point of sweet corn?
It's 100% cellulose and therefore not digested and no calorific value.
It turns your turds yellow within 3 hours
If it didn't have sugar and salt it wouldn't taste of anything.
Best to open the tin and tip it down the bog and cut out the middle man, I say.

Once in Greece
I ate the barbequed ink bladder of a squid, which I was assured a great delicacy by one of the locals, named Stavros.
It was like eating liver with the flavour of the contents of a fountain pen. I nearly puked.
I still don't know if this was one of Stavros's jokes or they really did like the taste of ink!

blackcurrent, whilst being a constantly ill poorly ill child i was forced
to have an medicen far too often which comprised of; water mixed with "blackcurrent powder" (the powder being the medicen).

now, this tended to make me more ill. too the point of being sick. it was horrible. absolutely disgusting. and now i can't even smell blackcurrent without feeling ill.

which is horrible, because ribena are GIVING AWAY DONKEYS! :(

Smoked Salmon
I like salmon from tins, but the smoked slimy stuff is vile. And it's difficult to chew which prolongs the trauma when you have to eat it at a wedding :o(

Marmite is disgusting too.

I do happen to love Brussel Sprouts though, they are excellent!

Milk. UUrgh. (I don't give a **** if it's what Ian Rush drinks)
In coffee, it's fine. On its own, or in anything where the taste is still evident - WRONG. Furthemore to see someone drinking milk makes me gag.

Liver/Kidneys - Anything that smells of piss is not meant to be eaten.

Vienna sausages - those bright red hot-dog types. The colouring in the skin makes me Exorcist sick.

Ambrosia Creamed Rice - A genius method of making money from canned cat-puke.

And who's idea was it to put MSG In everything? Over the years I have developed a rather unpleasant intolerance to everything with MSG in - from salt & vinegar crisps to chinese food. 10 minutes after eating, it transforms my arse into Krakatoa.

I love Marmite though. And anchovies. Yum.

without fail, my gran (God rest her soul) would make this revolting trifle for Christmas. No one alive knew what she put in the dam thing, but it was revolting. Cold sick looked (and tasted) more appetising.

I haven't been able to look trifle in the eye since I was 9.
Anyway, when the old trout shuffled off, she left me the trifle bowl that she used, in her will.
Turned out the damn thing was worth a fortune.

The texture of raw tomatoes is horrible. Tomato in stuff is ok as long as it's cooked though...
(Mr Joe Bangles, Mon 12 Jul 2004, 11:40, Reply)

Celery
Celery - NO. It's disgusting in every way, raw or cooked it's wrong wrong wrong. The stringy texture. The smell. The liquid stuff that comes out of it. The taste, oh god the taste. I can feel my stomach turning as i think about it.

Cucumber - its a mild form of celery yet just as evil, it also has the added benifit of taking over the taste of any sandwich even after it's been removed, thus making any sandwich that has ever come into contact with cucumber totally unediable.

Beetroot - urgh

Sprouts - FUCKING. HORRIBLE.

As a side note, I would have added turkish delight (the cadbury one) to this list up until last week, when I bought one out of pure masocism and found that I actually rather enjoyed it (the last time I had any was something like 10 years ago) so let this be a lesson kids - if you hated something when you were younger, try it again now - you may be surprised that you don't hate it quite as much as you did (unless its celery, sprouts or cucumber, obviously).

And another side note - allegedly, acording to science, the stuff that we eat doesn't taste the same to all of us - so when I eat some celery (not that i do) it actually tastes different to what you (you celery loving bastards) taste. It's not just a personal thing, its genetic! Aparently there are people who would describe the taste of cucumber as sweet. SWEET!! Bullshit!

Liver
There is something deeply ungodly about putting liver in your mouth. It seems a foul and thankless act to do so and i can't imagine having a mouth built for tolerating it.

To make matters worse both my wife and father in law are extremely partial to it, championing it's healthy qualities at whenever my disgust for the stuff is voiced. He is by far the worst offender however as he finds it irresistable not to pop a little raw piece in his mouth when preparing it. He also eats raw veal sandwiches (he lives in Berlin and they sell them in the work canteen!).

In Hong Kong.....
... stayed with some Chineese people and ate some wierd stuff on this floating restaurant. Their two specialities were as follows:-

Chickens feet- thought it sounded interesting. Was actually just two chickens feet, bones and all, boiled. Had to crunch away and think of England.

Got Duck's webs ordered for me as well. Thinking it may be deep fried and crispy, a bit like a meaty Tortilla chip. Was also boiled, and rubbery like, er, a piece of rubber.

Didn't venture far from Burger King afterwards

(Well, and Rice Pudding substitutes like Tapioca, Semolina and the like) - the only foodstuff I really and truly can't stand.

Vile stuff. Rice should not be sweet. Horrible texture, makes me chunder. Although strangely I like porridge, which is effectively the same thing.

I'm also not a great fan of anything pickled, but Rice Pudding is the only thing (bar manjuice and shit) that I won't eat.
