My grandparents ate pickled pigs feet. They actually are pretty good. Lol
But the ate organ meats that I wouldn't. Brains. Liver. Sweetbreads.
Anyone have a story?

Wasabi ...
could not get it out of my mouth fast enough ! Paper napkin wiping tongue time !
Raw oysters ! Cannot swallow them .... literally !
Went to a fresh seafood place (like the one in the movie Atlantic City) and tried them .. wound up having clam chowder instead.

Oysters look icky. (That's a culinary term. Lol) Wasabi blows out my sinuses! I've never tried sushi but I don't think I would like it |

enigma72I have never had "real" sushi but like the mostly rice things that have at the buffets ... They are just assorted veggies and bits of salmon and rice rolled up and then sliced. Love 'em ! I don't like the piece of lox slung over the wad of rice tho.  I MISS my weekly trip to the local World Buffet and seeing the friendly waitstaff.

That's probably the worst for me. I had a Jewish college boyfriend. Lox is off the table! |

Eggs, chopped liver, liverwurst
Oysters are definitely gross. Sea urchin similar. Both are like wads of snot.

Most people Catman knows eat meat. Heck, Miko and Katsura eat meat.

I had had home-made Steak and Kidney pie at someone's home in the UK and it was quite good !
BUT ordered some in a restaurant and they had not prepared the kidney correctly.
It tasked like what old pee in a subway station restroom smells like !

"Would you like some expensive, fishy-smelling snot with sand in it, sir?"
"With Tabasco sauce and lemon juice? Yeah, that sounds great!"

When in high school my cousin was a hunter. Always shooting rabbits squirrels pheasant.Then bring them to family get togethers. Christmas thanksgiving. I never could stomach it. Deer sausage was the only thing I could eat.

My mom gets pickled herring from the bagel place. It's an older Jewish thing. The sight and smell of it turns my stomach something wicked. None for this guy.
Bad lox can turn you off of it for forever, but if you get a nice cut, properly sliced it's divine.

Oysters look icky. (That's a culinary term. Lol) Wasabi blows out my sinuses! I've never tried sushi but I don't think I would like it So at about 99.99% of all sushi restaurants here in the states, the "wasabi" you get on your plate is really just horseradish. Real wasabi, that's grated right off of the root, is incredible and adds a wonderful depth of freshness and flavor to your sushi. It is a little spicy but much tastier than that green blob you'll find on your plate typically. I always hated oysters....until one day it clicked at a restaurant in Montreal. Now I'm hooked!

I remember reading an article a few years ago about a Canadian farmer who was trying to grow wasabi here. That’s when I found out that what passes for wasabi in all but the most exclusive sushi restaurants is just horseradish with green food colouring, and that real wasabi is a very difficult plant to grow and that’s why it is very rare and therefore expensive. I think the first time I tried oysters was in a Renault factory in France. I was doing a job there with a group of French engineers and on Friday one of them said that if we liked oysters, he could bring some on Monday from his hometown on the coast. So on Monday he brought oysters, someone else brought bread, someone brought wine, and we had an oyster feast. In the middle of a car factory. During the work day. With wine. That’s one of the reasons I love France.

I did a study abroad in Nice during law school and just loved every second of it. I remember one of my professors at the time was telling me about these extremely elaborate laws about croissants and how the measurements you have to adhere to are so exacting that if you use even a tiny bit extra of butter, or the temperature is off, or whatever, then you legally can't call your product a croissant and they'll fine you. I love it.

I tried escargot in France.
It wasn't great but not terrible.
Funny klaw and gep we all have French food experiences.

The closer I can think of is an ex-coworker from China who liked fish heads and chicken feet. I don't think I've ever seen her eat those things though, I just remember her saying that she loved them.

My taste continues to evolve, and I do like some things more than I used to. The list of foods I don't like is very short though - mostly just "bitter" foods, but I have never cared for sweet potatoes/yams. However . . . I'm going to give sweet potatoes one more (last) shot today. I'm going to spiralize one along with a few Russet potatoes and make "tornadoes". After brushing with EVOO, I'm going to season half with taco seasoning, the other half with onion soup mix (which works really well), then bake it in a 400F (toaster/convection) oven for ~25 minutes. Perhaps I'll change my mind.
