Embroidery.

Separating out all those threads brought on an inner rage and despair I never knew I had.

Frog's legs and shoe leather which I suspect was horse meat.
I lived in France for a few months came back vegetarian and stayed that way.

Tapas - cheese with honey. The face I pulled is still talked about in the family. I feel queasy just thinking about it.

Reasoning with a bad tempered toddler.

Oysters aka fishy semen.

I wouldn't say those two things are similar. One I can swallow and the other I can't. A half dozen oysters is a lovely way to start a meal 😛

Beetroot Latte...by mistake, boak! Never again...I like beetroot, I like lattes. They do not belong together!

It's a toss of a coin between roast heart and stewed tripe.
Also, abseiling down a waterfall, though I suspect it would have been a less hideous experience with a more competent belayer.

Husky driving. Worst hour of my life.

Riding an unhappy camel.

Sweetbreads in a fancy restaurant, was promised that they are amazing - they were not.

Wanted to love surfing, but did not.

Love anchovies though!

On the other hand, I love cross stitch, knitting and crochet.

Skiing with 4 children between 4 and 9 years old. Most expensive and worst holiday of my life. At least one of us cried every day.

Squid, it was like eating elastic bands.

A met police officer. In my defense I was young and he was very good looking.

Pigs feet soup. I didn't know it was pigs' feet until I took the first mouthful including a dumpling and our hostess asked me 'How do you like the pigs' feet soup?'. Then I realized what the 'dumpling' was. I wanted to get it at least 10 feet away from me as fast as possible but you can't projectile spit like one of those spitting lizards with your hostess right in front of you. I just did that fake smile with a full mouth thing and nodded until she went away and then spat it out. I can't remember what I did with the rest. Hid it somewhere in the house probably.

She must have done it as some form of horrible joke.

Threads like this! They make me so irrationally cross-especially the food ones where people haven't even tried! How do you KNOW you don't like it? And all the retching and gagging and spitting out. Well done for trying. Swallow it- have a drink and don't have any more-you're not 3. I did say I was irrational!
