Everyone has got a distinctive thing they like that may be out of the norm, so let’s hear em! Paste, Baby Food, off the wall foods.
Me I like super super sour pickles but I think I like vinegar and have drank it on dares. Also, I like goat cheese pizza with garlic, super hot and spicy beef jerky (the tougher the better), and red eyes ( a drink…look it up if you don’t know what it is)

I just LOVE the seafood salad from back home in Brooklyn. It makes all my friends sick to see me eat it, and my husband turned green when I explained it to him, but I love the stuff. It has calamari, conch and octopus in what I think is oil and lemon, along with some cut up celery. The squid tentacles are my favorite, and sometimes, if I do it just right, I can get the octopus pieces to stick to the side of the bowl with their suckers. They unstick with a nice little ‘pop’. The only bad part is when the squid isn’t cleaned right, and I bite into one of their little beaks.
Yeah, that sounds normal. Until you realize that the best way to eat them is to mix a liberal amount of cottage cheese into the bowl of piping-hot beans. Yum!
Ahhh, calamari. Whole and unfried with the tentacles still atttached.
But making the suckers on the tentacle suck and unsuck on the bowl is not the best part. The best part is to have a tentacle hang out from between your lips. That gives your friends and loved ones (who can’t believe you’re eating it in the first place) the greatest gross out factor.
Anchovies!! Order 'em on the side with your pizza. Break the crusts up & stuff 'em with anchovies and rub 'em around in the pepperoni grease. Take a big sniff before eating just to annoy the crowd. Yummy!
I wholeheartedly agree with the pickled herring, anchovies and calamari. Seafoods, I think, are to some degree socially unacceptable in our society. Go figure. I discovered, recently, pizza with anchovies and capers. Yay!
Kim chee. Yay for kim chee!
Things I do not like that make me a social pariah in our fine land: catsup, peanut butter, and chocolate.
I think that would be octopus, calamari are squid and they don’t have tentacles. Well, at least not the tentacles with the little suction cups anyway. I should know, I pick up calamari at the supermarket all the time. But not to eat, I use 'em for bait!
