What ever is wrong with Marmite? and what’s a corn dog?
The only thing I cd never choke down was potato pancakes - I don’t know why, because I like potatoes fine - but I just cdn’t eat them. And before I became veggie, I found it physically impossible to eat tripe - the flavour didn’t bother me, but my teeth just bounced off it - it was like trying to chew rubber gloves

I’m known for eating pretty much anything.

beets
yams
lima beans

A corndog is a hot dog (weiner, frankfurter, whichever is your preferred nomenclature) dipped in corn meal batter, deep fried, and impaled on a stick. They’re ok, if you like hot dogs. I like hot dogs as long as I successfully block out the mental image of what animal parts may be in them.

Hotdogs: ground up lips and assholes!
The worst to even THINK about would have to be liverwurst. You take something nauseating to begin with (liver), chop it up, throw in a bunch of fat globules, and wrap it in a sausage casing. Oy vey. Next would have to canned orange juice. Love orange juice, put it in a can and it tastes regurgitated. One more, SMOKED BEER. Now, I love smoked cheese, smoked fish, smoked turkey, and most beer. Automatically, I thought I would adore smoked beer. Ordered it in a hot sweaty bar one night and received lukewarm, rotten carbonated fish juice, in a really cool bottle. A tip- don’t even try it, and this is coming from someone who loves lutefisk.
Anything with the word “Hostess” in the name. Anything having to do with fish eggs, squid, or octopus (other than those I love seafood, especially sushi).

I LIKE lima beans!What’s with You???
Add me to the beer haters list. In fact I hate any liquor that isn’t a vodka collins. Beers taste and smell, especially after it gets stale, just turns my stomach.

Anyone out there ever try a persimmon? It’s a very bizzare experience. Picture yourself drinking cartoon hair tonic (the kind that grows hair instantly). You take a bite of fruit and suddenly you feel like your mouth is covered with hair. One bite is enough for anyone, and I’ve never seen anyone try one without spitting it out.
I’d also like to note that Post Grape Nuts are a practical joke.
Actually, I like persimmons! We used to have a persimmon tree in our yard when I was a kid, and we used to pile in the car and go out into the country to look for persimmons to pick up.
They have to be ripe, dead ripe, or else they’ll pucker your mouth up immediately. You might try some of the big persimmons they sell nowadays–Japanese, I think–as they are somewhat milder in taste.
But mushed up ripe persimmons, mixed w/ sugar and made into a pie…scrumptious!
Saraam, I am in awe: someone who not only eats lutefisk but loves it! The link provided by Sanibel was a hoot to read. Do you eat yours w/ bacon grease?
I just recalled another truly revolting food. From England: jellied eels. They looked like…well, you can imagine what they looked like. The taste and texture were pretty revolting, too.

A friend just gave me some smoked bear jerky that he made. He shot the bear last week about a mile from here. I was polite and took it from him, but man, this stuff tastes like shit! I usually like exotic foodstuff, but this is just nasty. Them mountain men have way too much time on their hands.
To Born2Read: We used to have a product called Vegall–not mixed veggies, which I like, but a vegetarian product that looked like meat; taste similar. It was canned!
Before our family split up, my Mom–we come from central Indiana and we are mostly Irish–used to make up a big pot of chili and it was so hot I always went for my water glass! About 10 years ago she told me she always used jalapenos in it! No wonder! (I once foolishly mistook a slice of jalapeno for a slice of green beans!!)

Creamed corn.
The memories of what happened after I told my mom that since it looked liked I had already puked it back up, did I really have to eat it a 2nd time just means that it will not join mushrooms, onions, beer, & mince pie as acquired tastes…

About Persimmons: There are different types that are edible. The American Native (Dispyros virginiana) MUST be eaten when soft ripe. Otherwise it is very astringent. There are also non-astringent types which can be eaten when firm. The astringent types can be treated by freezing them over night then thawing, alcohol, or carbon dioxide.
head cheese.
There’s also a Polish dish called charnina (that’s a phonetic spelling). The late Mike Royko once wrote a column about how he’d have friends eat it, and only then tell them what it was:
<font color="#FF0000">duck’s blood soup!

I’ve had it a couple of times, and actually it’s not bad (and I’m a pretty picky eater). Sugar, raisins, and other stuff gets added.
Squid in a can, pickled in its own ink. (barf!) One look at the little mass of tenticals complete with suckers swimming in black sauce and the whole thing was dumped in the toilet.
LIMBURGER CHEESE! Now, that will put hair on your chest, or take it off. I can’t say I ACTUALLY tasted it, though I certainly tried. It has to smell worse than a corpses armpit and if you actually know someone who eats and likes it – admire them from a safe distance.
Danish Potted Meat Food Product. Comes in a small can. Looks like a pale pink verson of cheap spam. Cuts like paste, spreads like pat’e (sp?) tastes like something salty – but exactly what no one knows. FOAMS like that insulation in a can if you happen to try to fry it. The ingredients listed on the can should have stopped it from being imported because it seems to be made from every part of a pig normal people throw away.
Raw oysters and clams. (The resemblence to human snot stops me every time.) The first human to consume one must have been DESPERATELY starving.
Wal-mart boxed hamburgers. (The $5.00 for 10 pound type that have soya added.) Even my cats didn’t like them. Imagine pulped cardboard doused with beef flavoring – probably from fake beef. I estimate that instead of something like 10 to 25% soya to beef ratio, it is reversed. More soye than meat and cheap soya at that.
Remember those home freezer plans? For a fee get a buncha food and a freezer? Somehow it never manages to last a month? The chicken from those plans. The whole chickens. Those babies were not killed, they died from old age and were tough MF’s to boot. I boiled one for almost a day and still could not chew the meat, which probably could be used to make everlasting tires from, along with car bumpers, brake linings, fake leather, and bullet proof vests.

Pickled eggs, caviar, wheat grass, vegemite and curried goat.
I almost forgot! OKRA!! COOKED, slimy, snot-like, decayed looking Okra. Even deep fried it manages to remain slimy. I think if someone managed to powder it, the stuff would still find some way to be slimy.
I ate sweetmeats once, never having had them before. They looked -well- strange being cut up, somewhat fatty but they were served in a rich brown gravy on a bed of fluffy rice and smelled good. (THIS from the hospital cafeteria where I worked once.) I did not finish the serving, deciding that they should have been left on the bull. Their texture was unlike any meat I’ve ever eaten.
Caviar (spoiled fish eggs). People who pay money to eat that stuff have got to be certifiably mentally off.
Brie (cardboard cheese). And to think, that stuff is a fad. No wonder so many people figure the USA is going to hell in a handcart.
RITZ instant drink mix. (A poor attempt at liquid cool-aid. Sold years ago in small bottles.) The primary – and possibly ONLY flavor – was grape. It was bitter, disgusting, and no amount of sugar could make it taste good. I figure the grape flavoring had not been within 1000 miles of a real grape.
(Hey! I LIKE pickled pigs feet!! Fresh from the fridge, the jelly all chilled and ‘jellied’. I just try not to think what they come from or what they had been walking through.)
Any hotdog with a name on it that I don’t recognize, selling for under $1.00 a pack. Some of those babies have to be made out of the leavings that regular hot dogs makers reject.
Ground hamburger from a ‘meat house’. Yes, folks, here in Florida, usually in the poor sections or among the minority blocks, places called ‘meat houses’ have sprung up. (Along with House of Nails, House of Bar-B-Que, House of Pork, House of Hair and House of Tomaine Poisoning.) I escourted a friend into one who is on disability and who found the ‘meat’ there cheaper than anywhere else. (Please note the marks around the word meat.) After spotting the dirt on the floor, the cold cases, the employees, the counters and seeing huge hunks of the fattiest pork I had ever seen (hide still on), gray chunks of unusual cuts of beef and other cuts obviously dyed red several times along with vast bins of things like trotters, pig tails, fat back (REALLY, REALLY FAT BACK WITH MAYBE A TEENY, TINY BIT OF MEAT IN IT) cow tails hacked into chunks and bloody bits of bones for soup, I decided I would not buy anything from there. The ground beef and ground pork was in HUGE pink heaps behind dirty sheets of glass in cooler bins and I estimated that the fat content was MUCH higher than the cheapest ground beef ever previously known. From the looks of the employees – sullen, greasy black hair, probably from the middle east, heavy accents, I suspect that the beef and pork piles were helped out by the not forgotten process of filler. Down here, in the south, FILLER usually consists of someone going to the back door of the local BBQ place or meat house and selling them freshly killed racoon, opossum, rabbit,or squirrel. The meat gets mixed in with the beef and pork. (In some places, those baby back ribs, heavily coated with spicy sauce, probably are only very, very distantly related to beef.)
I must note that those MEAT HOUSES always sell great containers of spices, curry, seasonings and hot sauces along with wine fermented yesterday and much ‘fruit flavored’ malt liquore. (98 cents a quart!)
I will not describe their sausages. (urrrp!)
The one I visited probably had an understanding with the local health inspector. He never showed up and they just mailed his bribe to him.

Mark, I think you mean sweetbreads, not sweetmeats. IIRC, it’s one of those ironic things, where sweetmeats are like candy, and sweetbreads came from an animal.
I have to mention deer meat. Gag, it’s awful! Way too gamey. I’d much rather look at a deer than eat one. Now elk I can tolerate. I’d rather not have to eat it, but I can choke it down if I have to. I’m not sure what the difference is, but deer is just nasty.
