Baked Beans, forgot about those.  
Possibly the worst of them all.

My personal least favorites are… lox (starts out tasting like good ham, ends with a foul blast of bad fishy taste), baked beans, asparagus, chopped tomatoes with the seeds left hanging on, and _pickles_.

OK, I give up. I guess the only things I _won’t_ eat are:

-Innards (tripe, kidneys, sweatbreads, etc.)  
-Okra  
-Lamb  
-Sushi

I don’t like tuna or turnips, but I’ll eat 'em.
