Look at the bright side: at least they gutted the bait before eating it. šŸ˜‰ I lurves me some raw fish, but white sticky rice is _not_ part of my diet. ---

Most people have no problem with drinking cow milk, but (usually, afaict) the mention of someone using a womanā€™s breast milk on their cereal or in their coffee garners revulsion. ---

Have you tried [Cinnamon Toast Milk](https://www.cinnamontoastcrunch.com/products/cinnamon-toast-crunch-cinnamilk)? Tastes like the milk after a bowl of the cereal. ---

Maybe you should try filbert coffee, then. Filberts always taste better than hazelnuts. ---

Of the items Iā€™ve seen on this thread, only two fit the bill for me: Arugula is pointy bitter garbage. Marshmallows are sickeningly sweet mush. I think I like, or at least tolerate, everything else Iā€™ve seen here. ---

Sure, but thatā€™s more of a clever nameā€¦ that stuff isnā€™t actually very spicy at all. For me, itā€™s my MILā€™s determination to undersalt everything, and combined with her food sensitivities (peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, etcā€¦ pretty much anything with flavor), it makes for some powerfully bland meals. They just chow down, and Iā€™m just stuck in the ā€œbetter eat it, or Iā€™ll get a hunger headache laterā€ situation. ---

Eggplant, squash, or anything related to them instantly makes me puke. And itā€™s not just some weird aversion, if you made it exactly like chicken Parmesan Iā€™d blow chow with the first bite even if I didnā€™t know youā€™d done it. Hot sauce bros are next on the list. I donā€™t care if you like stuff so hot it legally constitutes a chemical weapon, just eat it and shut up about it. Iā€™m not a wimp because I like to taste my food, youā€™re just trying to show off for other people because pain isnā€™t a flavor. Also, coffee. Smells great. Tastes like dirt water brewed with a pinch of distended asshole. If you have to put stuff in it to disguise its awfulness just get your caffeine fix elsewhere. Otherwise, drink your boiled asshole and quit going on about it. You donā€™t hear me going on for hours about the many variations of Mountain Dew I prefer, do you? ---

Thereā€™s a dish called ā€œ_pens en pootjies met boontjies_ā€ trans. : tripe and trotters with beans. Nope. I like _eisbein_, but thatā€™s as far down the hogleg as Iā€™m willing to go. And any kind of tripe is right out. I would also have said tongue, but a friend brought this divine German dish of tongue in a sour cream and horseradish sauce that swung me around on it (in that specific preparation). Havenā€™t had anything similar to sell me on tripe, ever. ---

Iā€™ve had tripe in some fabulous sauce at a Chinese wedding banquet. It was beef tripe. And the tripe itself was nearly flavorless, and a little rubbery. In a less delicious sauce it would have been meh. You might hate the texture, or you might enjoy it. But that sauce. Holy shit, i donā€™t know what was in it. But i enjoyed that dish. ---

> [@bump](#): > > Sure, but thatā€™s more of a clever nameā€¦ that stuff isnā€™t actually very spicy at all. Er. Speak for yourself, i guess. That stuff is uniformly nasty. What a way to ruin a wide variety of foods. ---

I never said it was _ **GOOD** _, just that itā€™s not actually very spicy. ---

Catfish? I could see someone not liking freshwater bass, but trout and catfish seem like they are inoffensive, at least. You like saltwater fish, correct? ---

Iā€™m right there with **Homie**. Fresh water fish blows. That also applies to fish who spawn in fresh water, like salmon. Salt water fish arenā€™t so much of a problem, although there are some of them I wonā€™t touch either. But halibut, sole, pollock, cod, dolphinā€¦all delicious. ---
