cheesecake ( it's true!)

People who say they don't like cheesecake have probably never tried it. The name makes it sound disgusting. It's impossible not to like though.

The only thing I can think of is mustard

Yeah, even The Cheesecake Factory restaurant has always been off-putting to me just from the name alone.

[perkana]

snails, grasshoppers, maguey worms...Anything I could picture their faces before dying
I ate really well at home, but I only ate chicken consomé at restaurants which used to piss my whole family off.

That would piss me off too as a parent, if my kids wouldn't eat something homeade but then order it at a restaurant.

I've been thinking lately about maybe start pickling some vegetables.

[Bandit72]

I've actually liked everything from when I was young. The only two things I can't eat because I personally don't like the taste are liquorice and marzipan.

[MicrowavedGerbil]

Fuck mushrooms. They taste like the smell of semen..
And armennia taste like the smell of burnt rubber...ever taste something and compared it to a smell?

[clickie]

Mushrooms are pretty good on pizza, or as a side with scrambled eggs.

[MicrowavedGerbil]

The texture and smell of mushroom is unbearable to me. Let alone the idea of eating fungus.

[tvrec]

avocado, that's about it. now, I'll eat one a day when they're in season.

They're great with salt and a squeeze of lemon

[JOEinPHX]

Buffalo wings.



I was probably 27 years old before I would eat them. Not because they smelled bad. But because the orange colored sauce made my brain just immediately say "NO WAY"

Then one day, drunk, I ordered an appetizer combo that had a few. I gave it a try and discovered they are fucking delicious. That's when I started eating spicy food in general. Salsa that sets your face on fire. The hottest thai food places will make. Stuff like that.

2-3 years later I developed acid reflux and now any spicy foods fuck me up.

Life is stupid.

[SR]

Lots. Oysters stand out though because as a kid I thought people who ate them had something wrong with them, for real. Now, I think they are one of the few perfect foods. I have had just about everything from offal, most other organ meat to bugs. I'd list them, but you probably have too if you've ever eaten a hot dog. To this day, I have yet to have a calves' liver prepared to my liking and I will never eat Tilapia

[Artemis]

To this day, I have yet to have a calves' liver prepared to my liking...

I haven't had a good calf's liver since 1990!
At the time, I was working in one of the restaurants at the Inter-Continental Hotel in London. I don't recall all the ingredients now but the calf's liver was perfectly grilled with shallots, a port wine sauce( maybe it was a jus, don't remember exactly), thyme, sage and served with the best Rösti I have ever had.
