Score 1 point for everything you don't eat

[SoCalDem]

I scored 11..don't know if that's good or bad

[ploppy]

1. 2

Liver and sourdough bread. It would be 3 if cilantro was on the list!!

[MissMillie]

15. me too

snails and raisins... but to be fair, I've never had snails. I may like them.

[LakeArenal]

45. Snails are just another excuse to "eat" melted garlic butter.

[happybird]

21. I feel ya on the cilantro

Nothing worse than dipping up a nice big scoop of delicious looking salsa on your chip and getting cilantro'd. It's almost unavoidable these days.

[LAS14]

101. See my reply #100. Is this true for you too?

[happybird]

123. It doesn't taste soapy to me,

but it's overwhelmingly sharp and strong, and it seems to coat my sinus cavities. After even a small taste of it, cilantro all I can taste and smell for a while. It's very unpleasant. The reaction is so strong I think I do have the gene.

[LAS14]

100. Did you know there's a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap? Is that...

... why you don't like it?

[rsdsharp]

108. What makes it taste like dirt?

'Cause that's what it tastes like to me.

[LAS14]

109. Probably the same gene.

[cyclonefence]

133. Cilantro tastes the way stink bugs smell

Really. It does.

[kimbutgar]

2. 5

Asparagus,Nutella,cauliflower,grapefruit, bananas

[TexasTowelie]

3. 22

There are another half dozen that I eat so infrequently that I could pad the score some more if I wanted to.

[hlthe2b]

4. No to liver, raw fish, snails so 3.... What is this supposed to mean?

[SoCalDem]

7. I have no idea .. I just saw it on facebook

[CottonBear]

33. I don't eat those three either. N/T

[HubertHeaver]

5. 17

I shan't list the boring details.

[stonecutter357]

6. 0.

[SoCalDem]

9. You omnivore, you

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

26. Kudos! 1 for me...

... Liver... just can't tolerate.. even smothered in onions! hahahah
(another Alabama guy but 'escaped' when I was 39yo)

[stonecutter357]

48. I like my liver in a pice of boudin sausage with red beans and rice .

[DashOneBravo]

58. On deer

I leave the liver when I field dress them.

I’ve had it every way and I just can’t stand it. It’s worse then blood wurst.

[JuJuYoshida]

8. 4

Even though I've had snails, wasn't my greatest decision but it's off the list of things to try.

[Lochloosa]

10. 2 Nutella and mushrooms.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Together? Of course not.

[happybird]

23. Sounds like the start of a Chopped basket, lol!

[MontanaMama]

11. No liver or snails or canned tuna.

So a big 3 for mama...


What do I win?

[mr_lebowski]

42. 5 for me, includes your same 3 ...

along with Olives and Oysters ...

[smirkymonkey]

94. 4. Your 3 plus White Chocolate.

Ugh!

Oh wait, on edit - add Milk to the list. I hate milk!

[justhanginon]

13. 2 for me. Raw fish and snails.

[MuseRider]

14. Most of them.

I have Gastroparesis, I cannot eat most of these things. Meaning I avoid them most of the time but I do eat some of them occasionally and pay the price but it is usually worth it. My diet sucks and is boring but keeps me from hurting or needing other medical intervention.

[fierywoman]

16. 2: liver and snails. And tripe, no matter who cooked it!

[JDC]

17. I get a zero. I will eat any of those.

Strange, I don't see Broccoli on the list. Or Kimchi. Both of which I will eat. Not relish, but eat.

[redwitch]

18. 3

Oysters, snails and liver.

[Squinch]

41. Me too. Only it was oysters, liver and raw fish. I love snails.

[happybird]

19. 4

Pickles, snails, coconut, grapefruit.

I can eat grapefruit in a pinch if it has a boatload of sugar on it.
Also, screw cilantro. Ew.

[Lifelong Protester]

20. Only 4 here.

[jodymarie aimee]

22. I will have the highest score

8 years ago in July they took my bowel out due to me eating good food all my life...fiber exploded me and I almost died. What is left of my bowel is like swiss cheese. I may not eat fiber, vegs fruit, nuts, seeds popcorn...I CAN eat yogurt, cottage cheese, mashed very well pots, and white pasta..and some meats...it is hell.....

If you remember when Patty Duke died a few years ago, she died of what I have..she didn't get to the hospital fast enough..

so when you have raspberries, or a gorgeous salad or popcorn enjoy it for me...It is hell, but better than being dead...

[912gdm]

77. I just read up on Patty Duke and it led to Sepsis which I read about.

Jesus Christ. Glad you are still with us.. Man, I'm going to keep those warning signs in the back of my mind if I ever have something that takes me to the ER

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. No brussels sprouts, liver, raw fish, oysters, snails, garlic or onions.

Especially no onions.

[jberryhill]

37. Wow

You would starve in my house.

It is a rare day that garlic and onions do not figure prominently in what's for dinner here.

[mr_lebowski]

43. Same here ... lack of onions (sweet, white, and scallions) has sent me to the store

A few times, and I mean JUST to get some onion. I put onion in like almost everything I make for myself. Usually sauteed, but raw too in some things.

Garlic, I have a ton of it frozen for a pinch + it's so cheap and refrigerator friendly I'm rarely lacking for the fresh stuff to start with.

[jberryhill]

66. I'd love to have someone come in each day around noon...

....just to peel a head of garlic.

Sometimes it feels like I spend at least 10% of my life peeling garlic.

[happybird]

124. Those little silicone tubes work great

for peeling. You put a couple cloves in, roll it on the counter with a little pressure, and the skins come right off.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002YTFV4/ref=psdcmw_678518011_t1_B0117Z15PK

The mincing is what used bother me- until a chef friend told me to rub my fingers on the stainless steel interior of the sink as I was washing them. Takes the odor right off, it's pretty cool.

Edit: added link

[Afromania]

80. Garlic really is fridge friendly.

I have one of those medium sized pickle jars full with diced garlic in olive oil. Every 2 or so months course of a weekend I'll work on enough garlic to fill the jar. The olive oil seems to help keep it fresh and as a byproduct I get this nice garlic infused olive oil.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

59. Onions, especially raw ones, taste to me like rotted garbage soaked in industrial solvent.

Or what I would imagine those things to taste like - extremely bitter and un-food-like. Can't stand 'em. Runs in the family; brothers won't eat them either.

[jberryhill]

62. You say that like its a bad thing

Yes, they taste like rotted garbage soaked in industrial solvent.

I suppose next you'll tell me you don't like rotted garbage soaked in industrial solvent.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

65. Now it all makes sense -- evidently most people *like* the taste of rotted garbage

soaked in industrial solvent and I'm an outlier.

[mr_lebowski]

84. People clearly experience food tastes differently, and a lot of it's genetic ...

For example there is an identified gene that makes a certain % of people experience Cilantro as a very Soapy flavor. I'm glad I'm not one.

There's also one that makes people experience cucumber as intolerably bitter. Glad I'm not one of them either.

It'd be totally unsurprising to me if Onion were another of those foods ...

[klook]

79. Ok, the wedding is off!

[lilactime]

27. 12.

[LAS14]

102. What are the 12?

[lilactime]

107. All in the seafood/fish category, mushrooms, and eggs.

[jpak]

28. 0 - throw them all in a blender and chug-a-lug

[OregonBlue]

29. 1 Liver. Some I don''t love but will eat them in a pinch.

Love snails in lots of garlic butter.

[grumpyduck]

30. Bacon wasn't on that list

unless it's in with the pork. Is there a message there?

[fleur-de-lisa]

31. 20 - Is this supposed to identify picky eaters?

In my defense, a lot of these are migraine triggers.

[Heartstrings]

56. I'm with you on the migraine triggers....

Also there are foods I would eat but don't for that reason and that reason only, not because I don't "like" them....
So my score could fluctuate.

[Still Sensible]

32. 6...

[dewsgirl]

34. Yikes I got a 22.

[LAS14]

103. Can you list them?

[crazycatlady]

35. I scored 22

I am a vegetarian so all the meat/fish was naturally eliminated

[TeapotInATempest]

98. I can't see the list for some reason (so why am I in the comment section, lol)

But I would have the same problem. Basically, if it's an edible plant, I'll eat it even if I don't love it. That includes weeds!

[jberryhill]

36. 2

And one of those I only had to recently quit due to medical issues.

I've cut back considerably on quite a few of those. For instance, coconut is still a "once in a long while" food.

I never cared for eggplant, though.

[mr_lebowski]

44. I like eggplant in one dish ... Thai Curry, other than that, meh ...

And I prefer Thai or Japanese eggplant in the Curry, not the italian stuff.

[jberryhill]

46. I will eat eggplant in that middle eastern dish...

...whose name escapes me at the moment.

And *maybe* an eggplant parm if it is inescapable and can be buried under sauce. But I've cut back immensely on dairy too since my heart attack, so I don't see too much eggplant parm in my future.

[ProudLib72]

52. Babba Ganoush

Now don't forget it again!

[jberryhill]

60. That's the one!

I have a mental block around that, since it somehow cross-referenced in my brain to the Hindu elephant god, Ganesh.

There was not a lot of middle eastern / mediterranean food around where I grew up and still live, and not a whole heck of a lot now, so I used to mix up stuff like babba ganoush and tabouleh (which took me a whole lot of googling to recall the name of). The only place we had for a long time was a Moroccan restaurant where it is a fixed menu in courses that they bring out so you never really have to order it from a menu in the first place. It was like, "uh, yeah, I'll have more of that layered thing with the chicken and powdered sugar..."

[ProudLib72]

76. A long time ago, I went on a week long boating trip on Lake Powell

with my parents and their friends, an Iraqi family. The wife made goodies for the trip, including a mammoth sized portion of babba ganoush. I had never had it before, but I couldn't stop eating it. I didn't care what was in it. I didn't care what it was called. All I cared about was how good it was!

[Arkansas Granny]

87. Are you sure that's not "Baba O'Reilly"?

[jberryhill]

38. Who eats tea?

[Harker]

72. I do...

in small amounts, as part of getting to know a tea new to me.

[Harker]

74. 20.

I eat very little tea, but do drink quite a lot of it.

[minoan]

39. 27--pretty high, I guess

[Historic NY]

40. There's a lot of good stuff in there

[LakeArenal]

47. Nine.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[ProudLib72]

49. 20

I'm vegetarian. Kind of knocks out a few right there.

Does that mean I will live to be 120?

[sinkingfeeling]

50. 2, blue cheese and oysters

[Delmette2.0]

51. 13 some I have never tried.

Most of the others are cheeses, olives and raw fish.

[LisaM]

53. Don't, or CAN'T?

I choose not to eat mushrooms, but I can't eat crab, for example.

[jberryhill]

67. Would you, could you, in a boat?

I lerve me some crab stuffed mushrooms.....

[KY_EnviroGuy]

114. You're killing me, JBH. I could eat those for dessert!

........

Portobello caps?

[at140]

54. I scored a big fat ZERO, because only thing I won't eat is

anchovy pizza.

[Mike Nelson]

55. 15

[TygrBright]

57. Also 11. What's the point? n/t

[DashOneBravo]

61. 2

Beets and liver

[highplainsdem]

63. 4.

Brussel sprouts, tofu, raw fish and snails.

[beveeheart]

64. 8

liver, raw fish, blue cheese - never!

[Autumn]

68. 1. Nutella

[underpants]

69. 2 brussel sprouts and "pork"

HATE brussel sprouts
I don't eat anything with the word "pork" in it. Ham? Yeah. Bacon? YES!!!!

[yardwork]

70. 1

[Wolf Frankula]

71. 4

Brussels sprouts, pean shit, watermelon and nutella. Almost never with snails, raw fish, ketchup and liver.

Wolf

[csziggy]

73. 3! Tofu, raw fish and oysters - not eating any of those

I don't know about snail - if I ever ate one it was hiding under a lettuce leaf and I didn't notice it.

Stuff that is not worth eating - Nutella (not chocolatey enough), coconut (only if fresh, the dried stuff is horrid), and raisins (too gummy and they stick to my teeth).

They left off okra - that would make four for me. Okra is nasty!

[912gdm]

75. I also got an 11

I don't know what this is supposed to prove except that I don't like fish or mushrooms ?

[shanny]

78. 27

[Afromania]

81. Just two, Oysters and Snails. Haven't tried them and I'm not inclined to do so, ever.

[Freddie]

82. 7

Liver, blue cheese, tofu, raw fish, oysters, mushrooms, snails
There’s a few more I’m not crazy about (white chocolate has no business calling itself chocolate) but would eat if put in front of me.

[SamKnause]

83. ...

24

[Hoyt]

85. 17. Thought I am world's pickiest, but apparently not, looking at some scores.

[Arkansas Granny]

86. 2. Blue cheese and raw fish. I've never eaten snails, but would try them if they were served.

[Harker]

89. I've served tennis balls. n/t

[Arkansas Granny]

93. What wine would pair well with that? 🍷

[Harker]

95. A Chardonnay, fairly chilled, perhaps...

A nice, lush, vignoles... anything in sufficient quantities.

[Arkansas Granny]

96. Oh, I like Chardonnay.

[FM123]

88. 2 - liver and beets!

[3catwoman3]

90. Interesting list.

4 never-Evers: liver, bananas, coconut and coffee (don’t even like the smell).

Never tried - Nutella

2 not-anymore: beef and pork. Stopped eating fellow mammals about 3-4 years ago.

Not on the list but makes me gag - acorn and butternut squash -

[Flaleftist]

91. 1. liver

[SeattleVet]

92. 1 - Milk

Don't like it, and it seems to either run right through me or come right back up. Haven't liked it (or drank it) since I was a kid, probably age 5 or 6.

I'm pretty good with everything else on the list.

[bif]

97. 1 Oysters

[LAS14]

99. I scored 0. What's this all about????

Cilantro was my one point until I read the post about it and realized it was not, indeed, on the list. I have the gene that makes it taste like soap.

[dameatball]

104. I got a 7. But that was just for what I have eaten today.

[samnsara]

105. i got 3....1/2

the 1/2 was for snails cuz I did eat Escargots once and wasnt thrilled with them but I kept them down

besides the snails it was :

liver
oysters
mushrooms

[yellerpup]

106. 8

I have to be gluten and lactose free.

[SallyHemmings]

110. 10

[DFW]

111. Ten, half doctor ordered, half because I just don't like them

Doctor ordered:
Liver
Bleu cheese
Pork
Grapefruit
Beef

I don't like them:
Avocado
Ranch Dressing
Peas
Oysters
Nutella

[trackfan]

112. 2

Bananas and Watermelon

[DinahMoeHum]

113. I score a 5. . .

liver, ranch dressing, canned tuna, snails, raw fish. . .

Although, some day, I might take raw fish off the list if I get to Hawaii and try some tuna poke.

[LAS14]

116. What is it about ranch dressing? Are there other dressings you don't like? nt

[DinahMoeHum]

118. I'm not crazy about really creamy dressings. . .

. . .especially if there is too much mayo in them. Somehow, my palate and stomach just don't agree with them.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

115. 4 here. Raised in the country to eat everything put in front of me, but...

some of those I've not been exposed to hardly at all, even though I traveled a lot.

No experience with tofu or snails. We never ate those in the bean-and-taters south, LOL. Raw fish sounds OK but I'm not willing to take the risk.

Raised around cucumbers but they have an aroma component that is repulsive to me - still eat them sometimes chopped fine in a salad.

Brains & eggs not on the list?.....

[Totally Tunsie]

117. Score a 4 for me.

Liver
Tofu
Nutella
Milk

Yechhht!

[Glorfindel]

119. My score: 1

No raw fish. Yuck.

[Duppers]

120. 6

Only 6.

[Iggo]

121. 16.

[bluecollar2]

122. 1

Tofu...

Can't stand the texture.

[Bengus81]

125. 20 total,do I live or DIE??

[oldtime dfl_er]

126. 23

Virtual vegan here (cheese sometimes).

[dhol82]

127. 1

I don’t eat white chocolat. That’s just fat and not that tasty.

[tymorial]

128. Its 5 but my coffee consumption ought to be taken into consideration

Oh and also: with all due respect to Dwight Schrute, beets are nasty.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

129. 12

[murielm99]

130. Two:

Ranch dressing and raw fish.

[benld74]

131. Zero points

[ProudMNDemocrat]

132. I got 7, the rest I eat.

I do not eat...Tofu, Liver, Raw Fish, Oysters, Snails, Nutella, and Wheat Bread

[red dog 1]

134. 33

No need to list them all.

[Generic Brad]

135. Zero

This is why I am no longer svelte.

[Devil Child]

136. 59

I'm currently on a strict coffee cleanse diet I learned from a picture with words encountered on facebook.

[littlemissmartypants]

137. Eleven for me too. nt

[Recursion]

138. 0. I enjoy every single one of those (nt)

[Mossfern]

139. Snails

but I have eaten them in the past, so it's 1 or 0.
What does this mean? I try to stay away from bread, but love it nonetheless.

[femmocrat]

140. What is the point?

Most of those foods are healthy choices. ???

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

141. 3. Tofu, Nutella, Liver.

A Liver sandwich with tofu and nutella sounds pretty good right now. But only if Liverwurst counts as liver.

Tofu sounds a lot like grits. No flavor, but it will absorb the flavors of things around it. Tofu and gravy might be good.

Nutella - is that a thing, or just a fancy name for peanut butter?
