Pork jelly.
:smack: D’oh!
Yeah, those. Except I do like cole slaw.
Liver of any kind. Gizzards, hearts are OK.
Any kind of peppers. Don’t tell me it’s not hot; I don’t care. In fact, pepper seeds are OK, but not the fleshy part. Tastes nasty and gives me massive indigestion. Even tiny bits chopped up and included in other stuff like soup or meatloaf.
I generally abstain from cake.
Not that I necessarily dislike cake, it’s more that upwards of 99% of all cake sucks.
Balut
Sloppy Joes
That’s about it.
Minty foods, unless the mint flavor is very subtle it makes me retch and feel sick in my stomach. This also extends to ice creams and candy other than actual mints.
There is nothing I won’t eat. Especially if it is something I have not tried before, I want to have some.
That’s good measuring stick. I would risk my job over:
Organ meat of any kind (don’t tell me giblets or fried chicken livers are great; do you know what those organs do?) :eek:
Insects or bugs, alive or dead.
Snake
Anything with tentacles
Balut (I had to look this up and am VERY sorry I did. It’s just wrong on so many levels.)
On the list of wouldn’t-risk-my-job-but-work-hard-to-avoid:
Miracle Whip
Habernero chiles and their most of their kin
Garlic ice cream
Salted licorice and natto are on my list of things I have tried which I WILL NOT EAT.
Someday I’d like to see and consider trying hakarl, surströmming, and casu marzu.
Another thing on my NEVER EAT list is mackerel. I’ve tried it many different ways and just cannot stomach it. Which is weird to me because there are other oily fishes I do like, including herring, sardines and smelt.
In general, there are plenty of things I’d never go out of my way to eat, most seafood and organ meats, for example. But, if I were presented with them at a very nice restaurant or prepared by a great cook, or I’m traveling and that’s the local food, then I’ll at least try it.
But I absolutely will never, under any circumstances, eat brains of any kind. The idea squiks me out more than anything else (with the possible exception of eating eyeballs,) and on top of that it’s not safe, what with things like mad cow, CJD, etc…
Sure, there’s no mad pig disease now, but how do you know there won’t be later?

tomatoes
I love all kinds of seafood. Anything that comes out of the water–it’s all good. Except oysters. Ugh. Horrible.
I think that’s it.
I’d say Jello, except I don’t consider it a food. Nothing that looks like that, moves like that, and has that texture could possibly be considered edible.
[del]fart blossoms[/del]Brussels Sprouts
Miracle Whip
Raw Oysters
Lobster (weird taste/texture combo to me)
Sea Urchin (see lobster)
Veal (Just Ick!)
Meat.
You people make me sad…
Any meat or seafood that is raw.
I look at some of these lists and think, “What’s the point of living?”
Liver… Eeeeww.
And bugs, and dogs and kitties. Cause I like dogs and kitties. Everything else I’m fine with, assuming we’re talking about plant and animal matter.
Cheez Whiz, hard-boiled eggs, mustard, ketchup, relish…well, a lot of things.
Seafood*, except shrimp, and it has to have some kind of sauce with it, and fried calimari which also needs a sauce. I love fresh water fish though.
*I’ve actually tried a lot of seafood, different fishes, lobster, crab and sushi. It’s the ocean taste that I don’t like.
