    Good. More sushi for me, then.

    I am able to eat and enjoy most anything and everything, but that ******* balut/duck fetus would do me in.

    And I still don't understand the fascination some of you have with Chipotle. Have you not been to Mission Burrito? It's a trillion times better.

    I am lactose intolerant. I don't want lactose living in my neighborhood. ;)

    There are foods I don't like but not sure about fear. When I was a kid I ate a whole jar of maraschino cherries and spent the next several hours puking cherry colored and flavored vomit. Since then I have avoided them.

    I have the same reaction towards ginger as a lot of posters have towards cilantro. Unfortunately it comes in or with a lot of foods I like. I just put up with it and avoid it when I can.

    FYI Sushi doesn't mean raw fish and some sushi has cooked fish or no fish at all. Sashimi is raw sliced fish.

    Yummy! I ate one egg on a dare in Manila a few years ago. It was so good I ate a second one.

    Try natto. Just once. I promise it will be #1 on your food phobia list forever. Usually I can figure out why people in various cultures like a given food item. But having eaten natto a few times, I've given up and freely admit I'll never get it. Can anyone (who knows what natto is) name ANY other food that is so pungent?

    i will try just about anything and like most things. Although, when i was 11 or so I tried some frog legs. These things were HUGE. Well, as I bit into it, it it real juicy...the thought of the wet frogs in the creek that i caught earlier in the day popped into my mind. First and only time i've felt queasy while eating something new.

    Never had snake but I had eel one time in Taiwan and, of course, eel "sushi" many times.

    Swoly-D, there are cooked sushi but very few like california roll or shrimp tempura. i only will eat them.

    speaking of sushi, someone told me that she watched "Monsters Inside of me" and there was this lady who ate raw sushi ended up with a parasite that caused a "tumor" looking in her intensities. Another lady got worms from eating sushi in Africa.

    Yikes.

    i actually quite like it but it is difficult to eat if you don't have really good skills with chopsticks (whiteboy? :) ).
