Lima Beans
Brussels Sprouts
Cottage Cheese
Miracle Whip
No one in my family likes Hamburger Helper, but I can’t get enough of it. Especially the lasagne kind. Yum.

Oooooooh I love most of these things except
*Raw oysters—much better lightly steamed
*Anchovies–ruin an otherwise perfect pizza
*Onions, cooked or raw, on just about anything–love 'em the first time I taste 'em. With me they tend to repeat all damn night. Ugh!
*black licorice–ugh, repeat barfing smilie spewing icky black licorice looking stuff.
Although it’s really not that weird or unusual, no one at my house will eat any kind of grits. It is so sad to make grits for one.
Ok, can you tell me what that hot cabbage-like stuff is? I’m sure it has a name other than “that hot cabbage-like stuff”.
OT–Wasabi-is that just another name for green fire paste? Yeooow that stuff hurts so good! (I know it’s really a type of horsradish, but that’s not nearly as colorful.) 
a lot of these are repeats
black licorice
beets
spinach raw or cooked
raw potatoes
apples or watermelon with salt
cauliflower and ketchup
eggs and ketchup or garlic
peanut butter on my pancakes, waffles or french toast (makes my dad gag)
lemons with salt
friend chicken gizzards (although I can only eat a few before the texture starts grossing me out)
raw tomatoes with or without salt (right off the vine is nearly orgasmic)
microwaved or regular pork rinds
fried chicken skin or roasted turkey skin (yummy!!)
plain white rice loaded with salt and pepper
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
plain white bread with miracle whip (or mayo) and black pepper
toast with cheeze whiz or peanut butter
american cheese (especially kraft slices or singles)
and I love to suck the salt off the shells of peanuts before cracking them open and eating the nut
If you can’t tell, I’m a huge salt fiend…I never crave sweets, only salty foods…no wonder I have high blood pressure. At this rate, I’m gonna have a heart attack before I’m 22.
I absolutly love Calamari. I esecially love the tentacles. I go specifically to this Italian restaurant so that I eat the tentacles, my husband eats the rings. Most places wont serve the tentacles.
I also love Artichokes. Boiled to mush, peel the leaves, dip in Lemon butter. yum!
I love lemon on everything. I usually keep a dish of lemon juice by plate. I dip everything in it.
I love steamed oysters, shrimp, mussels, crab, and anything else that claims to be a mollusk.
I love okra when it is fried up in italian breadcrumbs in butter.
I love Greek food of all types. I am having a love affair with Feta Cheese. I also love hummus and tabouleh.(sp?0
I forgot to mention pickled asparagus. To you fellow pickled asparagus eaters: MY GOD! Does life get any better than pickled asparagus!?!?!
My yummies that other people don’t like:
-Brussel sprouts (Tygr won’t even let me eat them at home - my mom has to fix them for me)
-Sour Cream (even plain)
-Mushrooms (raw, cooked, or casseroled)
-Greens(Collard, Mustard, or Turnip)
-Spinach (raw, cooked, or casseroled)
-Banana and Mayonaise sandwich (my brother threatened to kick me out of his house for eating one in front of him - I was living there, not visiting)
I love limas! Bought some fresh at the farmer’s market last year, they were to die for. Also…
-pickled garlic, or raw, or roasted
-ditto for onions, love 'em on nearly everything; I long for Vidalia season to come again, sometimes I slice up the biggest one I can find and saute with some sliced mushrooms then eat with salt and pepper.
-pickled asparagus certainly, and pickled watermelon rind, and I made some scrumptious pickled pole beans last summer.
-can’t forget the stoneground grits and also hominy, either white or yellow, yum!

First SA befriends them, then eats them?
:eek:
hehehe, oops
that should obviously have been fried chicken gizzards…
and I definitely do NOT befriend chickens, they scare the hell out of me…dunno why.
{hijack}SINsApple, you’re smart to be scared of chickens - they’re dirty little bastards. Maybe we should start a new thread; “Things you’re scared of that other people love.” My contribution would be beavers (the rodent, not the {ahem} other kind, smartypants). They are just creepy. Plotting world domination in their little underwater houses all winter long…{/hijack}
Gee, people have already mentioned most of the things I first thought of (anchovies, hominy, pork rinds, …). How about:
vegamite
pickled eggs
hush puppies
chicken fried steak (has to be done RIGHT. BAD chicken fried steak is REALLY bad).
canned hash
Pork rinds is one I hate to admit liking. I very seldom indulge in them, because I can usually convince myself that I am NOT buying a bag of deep fried fat. But occasionally, …
I LOVE braunschweiger. I know I can’t be the only one, because the grocery store has 4 kinds, but no one else I know will admit to eating it.
Braunschweiger, raw onion, and really sharp cheddar on toast is delicious, but you need activated charcoal for you breath.
I swear my hubby eats the very same thing. You’re right about the breath. Whew.
I love braunshweiger and the cheese–just not the raw onion. I have made it with grilled onions though. Mmmmm Mmmmm
MMMMMMMMMMM… I love vegemite! Had to order some via the internet cuz I ran out, it just arrived 3 days ago. Feasting ever since!
If you love salty things, you must try vegemite!
sorry for perpetuating this hijack, but . . .
What is vegemite? (ingredients?)
Not sure if it’s called “Cracker Soup” or “Coffee Soup”, but you crumble a bunch of saltine crackers in a dish and pour hot black coffee on them and add sugar.

You’re not perpetuating it, you’re perpetrating it. I’M perpetuating it.</MS_GRUNDY>
Vegemite is Australian Marmite.
What. That didn’t help? OK, both are trade names (Marmite is made in Great Britain) for a yeast extract product looking not unlike shoe polish, or some more impolite substance often compared to it. You use it as a spread. Though it has no meat products in it, it’s vaguely reminiscent of chewing on a bullion cube. Strong flavoured, to say the least.
It’s a classic cultural marker in Great Britain and Australia. But then, THEY just don’t understand peanut butter.
Green eggs and ham.
Oh, and human flesh too.
