What food do you like but no one seems to?

[MiniMandaRuth]

Mine: Cottage Cheese and Brussel Sprouts. MMMmmmmm.... :9

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Mixed together? I like liver in all forms - beef, chicken, goose, pork, fish

Love liver!

Yum yum yum!!

I also like horse. And whale.

And blue cheeses in all their forms - Roquefort, Stilton, Danish Blue, and so forth.

[Callalily]

4. I'm right with you

on the blue cheeses, the rest =

[cordelia]

9. Yes!

I like the liver - but have not had fish liver, so won't comment on that.

Haven't had horse or whale, either.

Give me a hunk of Stilton and some crusty bread, and I am a happy man. Love the blues.

[Gonzo Gardener]

32. Ooh, We had a lovely foie gras with pistachios...

and a wedge of Stilton with apricots to munch on last night. :9

:toast:

Horse?! Whale?!

[KamaAina]

35. Whale?! Why do you hate Japan so much?

:P

[tjwmason]

55. Definitely with you on liver and cheese.

I'm particularly fond of calves liver.

As for blue cheeses, I go weak at the knees even contemplating some of them. Over Christmas I had plenty of Stilton, Lanark Blue, and another blue cheese whose name I forget, made with unpasteurised milk too, absolutely gorgeous.

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. Ooh - an unpasteurized milk blue cheese! I bet that was heavenly!

Yummy!

[unsavedtrash]

2. Okra

boiled or fried.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Shark

:yoiks:

Clams

Lima Beans

[KamaAina]

37. Clams?! You're in Mass., right?

Everyone in Mass. likes clams, except you and Mitt Romney.

Let me rephrase that: Everyone in Mass. likes clams except you, because the Ken Doll doesn't really count.

[bicentennial_baby]

62. No, these are foods that I like!

And Sniffa, a born and bred MAsshole, won't go near them...or lobstah, for that matter. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I am the ONLY person in my nuclear family...

who likes rhubarb...

My husband, and my daughters, cannot stand it!

More for me!

:9

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. My Dad loved rhubarb, too. No one else in our family, though.

[bicentennial_baby]

8. I love it raw, dipped in sugar, but not cooked.

:shrug:

[struggle4progress]

7. Maybe they're just worried you'll poison them

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear struggle4progress!

Yeah, right!

You know only the leaves are poisonous!

:rofl:

[Mz Pip]

26. Raisins

Seems inocuous enough but everyone in my family hates them except for me.

I also LOVE goat cheese and sheep feta cheese. Everyone here goes "blech" when I eat it.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Hotler]

12. I grew up on fresh rhubarb..

my grandmother used to make all the time from her garden. Chop it up and cook it like you do cranberries. ummmmmmm, good on toast.
edit to add, don't forget rhubarb cobbler, that's another goodie.

[JohnnyLib2]

10. Sauerkraut, with the Thanksgiving turkey.

And I gotta have that rhubarb, anytime.

[Vanje]

14. Stuff a wild goose or duck

with Saurkraut or sweet and sour red cabbage. Maybe add some quartered turnip. Or some apple bits.

Bake it slow.

[Vanje]

13. Menudo!

The tripe and hominy stew, not the Mexican boy band.

I'm eating some now.

[Xipe Totec]

17. I hate you!

I can't get decent menudo up here!

[Vanje]

18. I make it myself

and its the best I've ever had, (she added, somewhat immodestly).
Recipe found in "The Cuisines of Mexico" by Diana Kennedy.

[Xipe Totec]

19. I know, my wife has the collection of Kennedy books

and Patricia Quintana's.

She just refuses to make menudo any more.

But we had tamales norteños for New Years, so all is forgiven.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes

in a mornay sauce sauce served in a Provençale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle paté, brandy and with a fried egg on top and Spam.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

77. Ewwwww...

Spam! :puke:

[Xipe Totec]

16. Menudo

[FloridaJudy]

20. Anchovies

Love them on pizza, or in pasta sauce or on salad. Everyone else seems to hate them.

[GigiMommy]

34. I love anchovies...

on pizza but I have high blood pressure so I avoid them.

[Lasher]

48. I love them too.

On pizza and salads, sometimes I just eat them right out of the can.

But maybe I should avoid them too on account of my blood pressure. My doc sez if my pressure's still high at my next physical, I have to start taking medicine for it.

[MissMillie]

59. luv 'em!

salty... yummy.....

[Arugula Latte]

21. I'm with ya on brussel sprouts. Also lima beans, cauliflower, really, any veggie.

Except kale -- x( That's like eating a brillo pad, IMO.

Meat, I'm completely queasy about. I don't eat any of the red stuff (including pork).

[lost-in-nj]

22. Funny thing

I'm the one that DOESN'T like weird foods....

my Mom was the queen
bean sandwiches
onion sandwiches
stuffing sandwiches....

get the drift!!!!

:rofl:

lost

[murielm99]

41. Stuffing sandwiches??

That would be a sandwich sandwich!

[bookworm65t]

23. Blueberries

No one besides myself will touch them. And there are 15 of us.
:wtf:

[lost-in-nj]

24. I LOVE BLUEBERRIES

omg

pancakes and on top of french toast
pie filling on Angel food cake
HOT BLUEBERRY PIE W/CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM (thud)
mixed with strawberries and Cool Whip FREE (great diet treat)

yum

lost

[Richardo]

80. I can't believe there are 14 people in the *world* that hate blueberries

What's not to like?

:wtf: indeed.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. Peas

I can't understand how folks can't like them...

[bicentennial_baby]

28. I LOVE peas!!!

:bounce:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

81. Haha!

I never realized the bouncy guy was a pea!

[FloridaJudy]

36. I love *raw* peas

When I can actually get English peas in the supermarket, I love to pop them out of their pods and eat them like candy. Yummy.

I like cooked peas, too, but not as much as the raw ones.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

65. Raw peas--yes!

My dad grew them in the garden every spring. I loved just going through pods and pods of them. Crisp and fresh--they just aren't the same after they've been frozen or out of a can.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

76. Mmm...especially in salads

:9

[lost-in-nj]

60. mmm peas

hot peas with butter and a little salt.....

lost
actually the best peas I have EVER had
were in a Swansons TV dinner.....

lost

[GoddessOfGuinness]

75. I like mine mixed with yellow rice

But I love 'em any way they're served!

[wain]

27. Liver, until I went near-vegan (an apparent contradiction)

I allow myself a couple of barbecue steaks in the summer. Along with a really good cabernet.

[elfrangel]

29. I'm the odd one out actually...

My family keeps threatening to take away my Southern citizenship b/c I don't do:

Okra
Pinto beans
Cornbread & buttermilk
Greens of any kind (I eat spinach raw in salads & on sandwiches instead of lettuce)

You get the picture.

[Kutjara]

30. I adore foie gras, but...

...I can't ethically bring myself to eat it any more. I still get huge cravings for it, however.

[fizzgig]

31. none that i can think of

i'm not a terribly picky eater (as long as you don't try to feed me eggs or most seafood) and my dad will eat damn near anything

[Gonzo Gardener]

33. Falafel/Pita Sandwiches, Spicy & Sour Foods...

horseradish, hot mustards, wassabi, chili & garlic sauces, pickled peppers... ok, pickled anything, and copious quantities of onions... raw, baked, fried, broiled, caramelized, or grilled.

[TrogL]

38. Cottage cheese and miracle whip

[Connonym]

42. combined together?

:puke:

[reyd reid reed]

39. I confess....

I like Brussels sprouts. I also like lima beans and okra.

[astral]

40. Well, I don't mind cottage cheese . . .

and I do love Brussels Sprouts -- I prefer to boil the sh*t out of them and then mash them up and drown them in butter. A little cottage cheese on the side wouldn't be bad, after all . . . . as long as there's plenty of cayenne pepper to put on the cottage cheese!

[chknltl]

43. Blackberry Jelly....

...all over a ham and cheese omlette. YUMMERS

[Der Blaue Engel]

44. Beets

I loves me some beets. :9

And Brussels sprouts, too.

[Adsos Letter]

47. I LOVE beets...

canned beets, that is...straight out of the can...

:D

[Der Blaue Engel]

64. I'll eat any kind of beets

Mmmmmmmm...beeeeeeettttttsssss.

[Contrary1]

45. Velveeta, onion and (real) mayo sandwiches...

Can't figure it out, since I am not able to eat that imitation cheese any other way.

[Adsos Letter]

46. Cold raviolis...straight out of the can...

a female friend of mine said I should never eat anything that costs less than dogfood...she actually brought me over a baked summer squash, with butter and brown sugar, telling me "I've seen how you eat..."

:D

[Skittles]

49. black licorice

big giant chunks of it :thumbsup:

[Pakhet]

79. Me too!

Black licorice and the only good jelly bean is a black one :D

[applegrove]

87. Me three.

[Indi Guy]

50. A friend of mine likes pizza with ranch dressing...

(true) I just don't get it...

[YankeyMCC]

51. That's common in the south

at least it was in the 90's and parts of the midwest too I think.

I'm from the Boston area but I lived in Biloxi, MS for a few months while in the Air Force. I remember one of the first nights we were there and the first time we went out for pizza in the area. It was actually a sit down place where a waitress brings over your order.

She brought our large cheese pizza and asked, "Would you like some Ranch Dressing?" in a very casual manner. I looked up, "Oh we get a salad with this?"

She looked at me like I was crazy, "Uh, no."

"You mean you think we might want to put ranch dressing on the pizza?"

"Yes."

"No thanks," we said.

[Indi Guy]

53. Well that explains it (I live in the South)...

But the deal-breaker here for me is Buffalo wings with ranch instead of blue cheese.

And some restaurants try to pass off ranch dressing (with chunks of fake blue cheese) as blue cheese dressing!

Gack!

[dropkickpa]

83. That's the pittsburgh way

freakin ranch on everything! Ewwwwwww!

[YankeyMCC]

52. How about carrots and catchup

raw carrots dipped in catchup..spicy catchup if it's available. :)

And actually the Brussel sprouts with cottage cheese sounds interesting.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

54. Fried Spam

mmmmmm.

[sasquatch]

56. Oyesters in any fashion

[GoddessOfGuinness]

78. I wish fewer people liked oysters...

Then there'd be more for the rest of us!

[MissMillie]

58. I like liver, brussel sprouts, and lima beans

I'm not so much w/ the cottage cheese. I can tolerate it if I can put lots of salt and pepper on it.

[TCJ70]

61. Vegemite

I went to Australia for a few months and tried it there...since then, I can't get enough of it. Toast with butter and vegemite...vegemite and cheese sandwiches...

...now I need to go buy some more!

[Flying Dream Blues]

66. You win! :) nt

[TCJ70]

74. I'll only accept if the prize is a lifetime supply of vegemite! n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

63. Borscht (beet soup)

My mom's Ukrainian, so I grew up on the stuff. But it's an acquired taste, as is most Ukrainian/Eastern European foods, spare pierogis. Actually, the sauerkraut filled pierogis are an acquired taste, but I've grown to love them. Of course I've always loved the potato filled pierogis, and most people who try them do.

[Der Blaue Engel]

67. A friend made me her grandmother's Ukrainian borscht for Thanksgiving

It was quite tasty.

If it's got beets in it, I'm in.

I also had homemade borscht in St. Petersburg when I spent a month there learning Russian. I loved most of the Russian dishes I had when I was there; it was the not-Russian foods that my host kept serving that were particularly unappealing: namely white bread and hot dogs. (She may have thought I'd love it because I was American, I dunno. She'd ask if I wanted sausages for dinner and then the "sausages" would come out and it would be boiled hot dogs. Blech.)

[FloridaJudy]

84. Oh yes, Borscht!

My mother was Russian, so Borscht was a winter staple when I was growing up. My sister and I still crave it in cold weather. Ours gets served with sour cream and black bread.

One thing to beware of with Borscht, though. If you eat too much of it, it turns your urine red. Last time I made a batch, I thought I had some goddawful disease until I remembered having downed three bowls of borscht the night before.

[AllegroRondo]

68. anchovies on pizza. clams and oysters.

[bicentennial_baby]

69. I like clams on pizza

:9

[AllegroRondo]

73. smoked oyster pizza is yummy too.

[Love Bug]

70. Fruitcake!

Do I win?

[distantearlywarning]

71. Cottage cheese, spinach, anchovies. n/t

[1gobluedem]

72. Kraft pimento cheese spread on celery sticks

I also love lima beans.

[ChoralScholar]

82. Pinto Beans with Mayonnaise

It's an extremely regional thing.

[ChazII]

85. vinegar with

my fries. Chips in my peanut butter sandwich.

[Javaman]

86. Bagels, lox, cream cheese and....

grape jelly. :)

You might think I'm crazy, but my mom turned me on to this. It's the contrasting flavors of salty and sweet.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

88. Strong, stinky, burns-the-roof-of-your-mouth goat cheese

If anyone has ever had strong Corsican goat cheese, they know what I mean. I like to fry it up on the stove with figatelli (a type of spicy Corsican sausage). You can smell it for miles. Bread and wine complete the meal.

[TexasBushwhacker]

89. Black-eyed Peas w/ hot sauce

Actually, quite a few things with hot sauce.

Cottage cheese with salsa
Carrot, raisin & peanut salad
and I make a badass curry that stinks up the apartment, but it's SO GOOD.
