Another Food Thread: Stuff You Eat That Grosses Other People Out

I've responded like this before, and I'll respond like this again.

Even ice cream?

My girlfriend hates it when I eat gizzards or livers. I love 'em though.

 

I eat oysters on the half shell, hot sauce mixed with eggs, popcorn, chips. People also don't like that I get my steaks medium rare.

 

So tell us or at least me how the stuff is made.

 

Yah....that reminds me of another thing.

I like my steaks between rare and medium rare, but if they're still cold in the middle, I won't send them back. I'll just eat the raw meat.

 

I'll tolerate the occassional turkey liver cooked in the bird, but after working in a chicken plant, there's no way in hell I could ever buy a whole pack of livers or gizzards. When you actually have to reach in and physically remove the organ from the sticky, colorful pile of guts, well... it's not a very enjoyable experience. Also, watching steaming heaps of liver flesh go by on a conveyer belt all day is kind of a turn off too.

As for things I eat that others might find offensive....

- mussels
- saurkraut
- canned sardines in mustard sauce
- kippers (fresh or canned in hot sauce/mustard/lemon pepper)
- lobster roe (the red stuff)

 

Lymph nodes, salivary glands, tongue trimmings, etc. That's what comes to mind right now, but I'm sure there is other crap in there too. Anyways, I'm glad my mom makes it with good cuts of pork because it is quite delicious. Huevos con chorizo, breakfast of champions.

 

I ate dried horse-meat sprinkled on a fettuchini alfredo dish in Italy...It was the consistancy and flavor of shreadded jerky

 

Then you will proably like my latest concoction. I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but before I put them together I put Rice Krispies on it. You have to eat it quick though because if you pack it and take it for lunch at work the Krispies aren't crispy. It is awesome. It adds texture to the PB&J that, once you've had it, you cannot go back to plain old PB&J's.

 

Mmmmm... lymph nodes...

 

Oh. My. God.

*drapg runs to the grocery store*

 

As kids, we had to eat spinach with poached eggs and kidney or liver. Boy, there's one reason to be happy I'm an adult.

 

Kimchi.

 

Cottage cheese. And Pineapple Pizza - no canadian bacon, no pepperoni - just pineapple.

Oh, and if DT is around, anything with mayo - he's disgusted by mayo.

 

Oh yeah.....I like cabbage too.

I guess I'll eat anything.

 

Tofu. Mention the word and people become visibly disgusted.

And nobody I've met in Vermont understands why I like Dr. Pepper.

 

I like everything but mushrooms, liver, and cottage cheese.

So that leaves a lot that I do like.

 

I eat fried alligator, and I have eaten rattlesnake meat in chili, I eat chorizo (though I will try hard not to think about whats in it from now on)

I'm actually pickier about what vegtables I will eat than meats.

 

Pizza with slices of banana on it.

A Sandwich consisting of a whole banana sliced in halves, a whole hot dog sliced into halves, and a piece of montery jack cheese on toasted bread.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Also Drinking Lemon Juice.

Oddly enough my whole family cannot stand the slightest amount of hot food, and I'll douse everything in Tabasco and take swigs from the salsa jar.

 

Tofu is one of my all time favorite foods. Dammit, now I'm hungry!
