Marmite! :) Love it or hate it?
I have a very catholic palate, the only thing I have a real aversion to eating is humble pie.

My kids will not eat mince and tatties, but make shepards pie or cottage pie and they will scoff it down :lol:
HOW STRANGE IS THAT

HOW STRANGE IS THAT
Cottage/shepherds pie is such more hassle than mince and tatties for so little extra taste, they are the same dish really. It sounds to me that they just like to see you slave in the kitchen...
Give them M&T and mush it up a bit then call it shepherds pie, they'll never know the difference. :lol:
What a strange topic :lol:
Liver!
Well i hate eating muscles ive tried one and hated it because you keep chewing chewing and so on very hard to chew up before eating.
Broad Beans! Ughh!
i agree, though it's not so much the taste but their texture when they are chewed. It is the chewing equivalent of scratching glass with sharp nails. LOL

Weird Question, but I 'll eat pretty much anything however:
Strict No No's
Celery - This is the work of evil
Sultanas, Rasins, Currants - Just can't eat them
Sprouts - But I think this is a mind thing cause by parental food abuse when younger. I'd probably like them if i tried them now.
RaT
ANYTHING green!!! Except green grapes, kiwis...and I think Pistachios!
Green stuff just has this flavor to it that makes me gag. :D [para]

Cheese. Yuck! I hate the stuff!! :p
Tripe. I tried it once in Switzerland -- never ever again! It's like liver but it's white and 100 times worse than liver. It came in a bright red sauce. :eek:
Tongue. Ugh.
Tofu is an acquired no-no for me. I spent a week in Japan in '91 and got so sick of the stuff that I've never (knowingly) touched it since. I've had some real horrors in Japan but I have no idea what most of them were. The custard-like dessert with fish at the bottom was a bit of a shocker.
I'm surprised to see celery appear a few times. Love it. The same goes for black olives -- very aphro ;)
But I agree with porshiepoo on a couple of things at least: macaroni cheese & marmite. Yuck.
Never tried humble pie. What's it like?

I actually meant I liked Marmite. Thats why I put a big smiley there and asked the love it or hate it question. :eyes
Macaroni however remains to be the most disgusting food source known to man :p :p

Thats not because you've had no cause to though DrSzin :p lol
It's because you're more stubborn :lol: and opinionated :lol: than I am :lol: :lol:
Raw oysters taste like the tidal mud they grew up in. Stewed okra is slimey grey/green. *shivers* and sea urchin roe is the worst. Tripe is awful too.
Other than that, I will sit next to Zappster at the table, and he can shovel his dislikes onto my plate! -H
How about "Tofu and Dog".... that was on a menu once when I was in China...
It had this horrible rubbery, stringy sensation in my mouth, just the thought of it made me want to boke when my hosts told me what I was eating... - eyuk!
The Dog was quite tasty though.
Well, humble pie (http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/eatcrow.htm) sounds pretty disgusting to me:
The original umbles were the innards of the deer: the liver, heart, entrails and other second-class bits. It was common practice in medieval times to serve a pie made of these parts of the animal to the servants and others who would be sitting at the lower tables in the lord’s hall. Pepys mentions it in his diary for 8 July 1663: “Mrs Turner came in and did bring us an Umble-pie hot out of her oven, extraordinarily good”.
At this point, I think porshiepoo should eat her hat. It probably tastes better than humble pie.
Hereboy, that sounds disgusting. Tofu should be an acronym not a food.
On a more recent Japanese trip two of my colleagues were trying to outdo each other at dinner one night. My boss had raw intestines of some creature or other. All I remember is that they were bright pink and didn't taste of much at all.
Lincolnshire Curd Tart (http://www.simonsbutchers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Puddings__Jams__Plum_Bread_10.htm l) sounds interesting (scroll down the page a bit). Probably a bit gobby though.

Tripe? Aye, right. :confused:
Bies, ye Olde Worlders dinna ken fit yer missin'.
'e best tripe in e world comes fae Boston, MA, where I used til stay. There's a wee Italian restaurant in 'at narrow touristy street near the bottom o' Beacon Hill (I forget 'e name, but hid's up 'e stairs) that serves 'e cullest tripe in 'e whole wide world. Hid's popular wi' locals and immigrants alike, and nae wonder. Hid's dead cheap tae, by New England standards at least. Ye can hev 'at posh Boston tart fer afters fer a pittance, then head doon til 'e harbour fer 'e best pint o' 'e back stuff ootside o' 'e Emerald Isle. Sheer class if ye dinna mind plastic glasses.
A Caithness White Pudding Supper is the horror to end all horrors.
A strange topic indeed ;)
Obviously mine is "humble pie".
Ciao,
Mushrooms, I can't stand those vegetables.

Hahaha DrSzin, where do you find all this tosh
I'd rather eat crow than eat my hat
One of my least favourite foods is liver. But in spite of that, I do like liver pate!
Another dislike is raw oysters. One was more than enough for me, yuk! I quite enjoy them steamed or fried, though.
Honey, liver, kidney, marzipan.

Liver, cabbage & fish!!!
Yuck ;)
I don't like honey either, Geo. Even as a child, I found it too sweet!
And I'm not too crazy about coconut (although it's OK in a Pina Colada!)

How long have you got? Much of mine comes from disliking as a child, but being made to eat by parents.
Liver, kidney, tongue, mushrooms, fish (but I like Scampi & prawns!), chewy meat (any meat), plain chicken (like it in a sauce), semolina, tapioca, custard, creme caramel (serious gagging!), boxes of cheesy pasta, whelks ('snot in a shell'!!), lots of other stuff that I can't remember cos I never buy it.
I love marmite though, but not too much; spread very thinly. I also can't eat a lot of things like lasagne and pasta, because it doesn't agree with me, and I have a mild allergy to cheese, so that's off the menu too. But I'm not really fussy, honestly! (My 7yr old son won't eat anything healthy eg fruit or veg, and refuses to try anything new. I now tell him that he's had it before and liked it, so he tends to eat new things without too much fuss, as long as there's no obvious signs of veg).
I don't like honey either, Geo. Even as a child, I found it too sweet!
At last someone else who doesn't like honey! We should form a club. :)
A lot of the things you all have mentioned...like tofu, tripe, and different shellfish...I've never tried. The opportunity has never arisen, and isn't likely to, though after your "non-recommendations" I think I might just skip some of them!
I have a bad reaction to melons, but otherwise I will eat most things...except for mushrooms, and aubergine. Ick.
Macaroni cheese !!!!! :( :(
You love macaroni cheese , stop blethering
Kippers yuck !!!! feel sick just thinking about them.

Hmmmm... a big NO NO to liver, eggs (except when scrambled with more yolks than whites), lychees, mushrooms, kidney, fish/seafood (except a nice bit of breaded or battered haddock), and I'm sure there's more but the thought of all the above is making my stomach churn.
Thumbs up however to most fruit, cereal (yes a strange one but when I can't think what else I'd like then a bowl-full with ice cold milk ALWAYS hits the spot), Duerr's fine-cut Seville orange marmalade (yum), most veg (so long as they're well cooked or are raw where appropriate), chicken, beef, my wife's roast dinners (I know - creep!), curry with Sharwood's mango chutney, and that's before I start on pudding's. Oh I'm gonna stop there 'cos otherwise I'll be here all night!!
I hate custard,rice pudding,olives ,celary,fish that still have bones in them, pinapple ,yuk yuk yuk
