Unpopular foods that you really enjoy!

[ScreamingValenta]

Inspired by the interesting thread asking the opposite question, what food do you really like that's generally hated?

Mine would be raw egg - stirred with salt and pepper, it makes a lovely dip!

Corned beef and mushy peas.

Those pies in the tins. Yum.

Haggis
Black pudding
Sprouts
Liver
Marmite
Tongue

Tripe and onions (wish my mum was still alive to make it for me)
Calves Liver
Sherried kidneys (Dad always made these on Christmas morning)
Soft herring roe from a tin, on buttered toast
Definitely Black pudding!
Semolina, but not from a tin.
I absolutely love Brussel sprouts
Homemade bread sauce (Nigellas recipe) eaten hot or preferably cold on its own..we always make triple at Christmas, we all love it so much.
Homemade rice pudding

Liver (pigs for preference, either fried with onion or in a casserole)
Marmite
Herring roe
Smoked mackerel
Sprouts (with vinegar)
Spinach
Tongue
Stinky oozy cheeses

hairy hands they are ace aren't they lol

@ILikeyourHairyHands but have you tried vinegar in baked beans? Beans cooked long and low until thick and slightly caramelised, then thinned back out with a ton of malt vinegar, on hot buttery toast with strong cheddar. I've converted a few people.

Other foods:
Tinned carrots
Turkey dinosaurs and tinned spaghetti
Bird's eye chicken burgers with plastic cheese and more vinegar

Oh yes and Blancmange!! Hot or preferably cold, with a nice set skin.

Bernard Matthews turkey drummers

I HAVE MrsRuby, I always vinegar my beans (sounds like a niche sexual practice).

I'm of the opinion that all rich, sweet food needs an acidic kick, I make a variation of quick pickled onions to serve with so many things.

It's all about balance.

Brussels Sprouts
Salad Cream

Needs I really like a cheese, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and salad cream sandwich on soft seeded bread. I keep a bottle of salad cream specifically for this purpose.

Oh, I also like pickled beetroot, cheap potato salad and ham all mixed up with a boiled egg.

I worked in an office once where I got everyone eating ham, egg, beetroot and potato salad sandwiches.

Sliced Gherkins(in a fishfinger sandwich)
Haslet
Olives
Pizza dipped in American mustard

I also like foie gras and a nice glass of sauternes which is not very popular these days.

Another one ready salted crisps with tons of vinegar poured in the packet and then I drink the soggy crisp juice at the end

Queen, surely gherkins or at least tartar sauce are obligatory in a fish-finger sandwich?

I always have gherkins and onions on the side of any battered fish. It's the bloody law!

Dripping on bread or toast! I literally used to have to fight DH to prevent him throwing it away because he thinks it’s gross. Now he just accepts that I eat it

Do the pp’s who eat soft roe know it’s fish sperm?!!

I do Big, I love smoked cods' roe. I also love caviar.

Love a bit of piscatine reproduction. It's very tasty.

Most things are tasty if treated with care really.

Tongue sandwiches with a bit of salt on. My favourite.

I always eat potato salad with pickled beetroot and those bacon crispy salad topper things, like you get at a salad bar. I think they are soya based?

Pickled beetroot

Lentils. As a vegetarian they are good for adding to various dishes to fill you up.

Tinned mackerel with cottage cheese, strange combo but works sooooo well, I’ve even got DH eating it, on its own, with a jacket potato or salad, bloody lush 👌

Anchovies.

Raw black pudding.
Tripe, especially done the Italian way in a casserole with tomatoes, borlotti beans and Parmesan. (Marcella Hazan recipe but I've also eaten it in Italy.)
In fact I love all offal - kidneys, liver, sweetbreads, tongues, and yes, even brains. Sautéed and served with browned butter and caper sauce.
Oxtail.
Adore herring roes on toast.
Cooked Spring greens or green cabbage smothered in Tabasco. ( Other hot sauces are available. )
Pigs' trotters. Jellied eels with lots of vinegar and pepper. Oysters. Anchovies.
OTOH I'm not keen on chicken breast -- dull and can be dry. The best bits of the chicken are the 'oysters' underneath the carcass.
