Food that you can't understand why people would eat....

[malificent7]

There are quite a few..

Octopus ...intelligent, beautiful and also all those rubbery suckers...boak!
Tripe, chicken feer
Please add!

So far in my life only sea cucumber is on my list of never again oh and frankie & bennies breakfast.

Especially ready meals aimed at kids.

YorkshireBetty, it's chicken feet.

My list:

• Chicken feet, hearts, intestines, gizzards, liver; an exception would be chicken liver pate
• Stew made with pig's or other animal's congealed blood
• Lamb's brains (tasted it in Barcelona), other animal brains
• Bitter gourd
• Anything with dried coconut
• Grubs

I've tried crickets and mealworms as one offs (crispy hipster snacks), they were ok.

Andouille - sausage made from rolled up bits of digestive tract. A much-loved speciality in Brittany.
Tongue
Brains
Tripe
Oysters -"The taste and texture of a heavy cold" as someone once said.

Brussels sprouts, white pudding, black pudding, milky tea. All Shellfish other than prawns and they HAVE to be naked!

And lamb. Don't like lamb.

Pot noodle .... ......

Capers. OMG they are disgusting. They turned up in a restaurant meal I had the other day - like little balls of nastily flavoured salt. It made the whole thing inedible.

Trifle (past 3 days' desserts layered on one another)
Haggis
Caviar
Eton mess (yesterday's dessert stuffed in a dessert glass)
Sharon fruits (orange tomato-y mushy crap)
Rhambutan fruits (dragons fruits??)

Quorn (mould..just why)
Caviar (fish eggs...why?)
Cream (no taste)
Sweet and sour (confuses me and tastes awful...is it a sweet or savoury)

Goat milk...smells of goat
Sheep milk...smells of sheep

I'm a vegetarian, I've grown lots of different veg in the past and still grow my own herbs. I'd love an allotment but can't afford plus disabled now and would struggle to farm veg or meat.

Money was tight growing up so from quite young we (siblings and I) were involved in growing veg in the garden. We were also taught which wild fruit, veg and fungi were safe to eat.

Rhubarb - one place we lived there was rhubarb already growing in the garden. Mum got paper bags and tore the corners off and filled with sugar, while dad fetched and cleaned the rhubarb, they showed us to dip the rhubarb in the sugar and eat - really yummy!

I'm scots, lentils definitely were a peasant food here but now using lentils is more a mc thing which my mum for one finds hilarious. She still sees lentils as a way to stretch the budget. She still makes lentil soup at least twice a week, it's delicious.

Baked beans are a good example of the "same" food looking and tasting COMPLETELY different in different countries. When living overseas it was one of the few things I'd go to the naafi for. (I think if you live in another country make an effort to enjoy the culture inc it's food). Others being marmite, tea bags and ex preferred British bacon and sausages.

I'm veggie and physically cannot eat meat, seafood or poultry but will eat most other things except liquorice,fennel, blue cheese and olives yuck

Baked beans...just no.

Peas cooked...fresh out of the garden and raw are yummy but cooked? Nope.

Jersey Royal potatoes. New potatoes that are floury are just wrong on all levels.

I actually really like caviar (well I think I mean those little suprmarket jars of fish eggs as cant afford the real thing!) Frozen petit pois are way better than other form of legume, whether fresh or frozen.
Still surprised no one else has commented on bone marrow or os de moelle - that is liquid snot.

Blue cheese
Camembert - don't understand why anyone would want to eat something that smells like feet.
Avocado
Pork, the smell puts me off
Pies in tins
Cheap burgers etc
black pudding
Tofu - a friend offered my cat some. He looked at her like wtaf and hissed at it.
Chicken feet
Eyeballs
Testicles
marmite
Cod roe
Jellied eels
oysters
Tripe
olives
anchovies
Haggis
Tinned meatballs
Tinned/jar hotdogs
That wanky foam some chefs put on foam. It looks like phlegm
Capers
Raw fish
Durian fruit - why would anyone want to eat anything that smells that bad
Marzipan
Deep fried chocolate
porridge
Twiglets
Spam
Boil in a bag fish
weetabix
Cherry drinks. Love cherries though
microwave burgers and chips
Well done steak.
overcooked pasta.
overcooked veg

Drinks
Sweet Wine
Gin
Avocat
Diet drinks

There's probably more

Tofu - a friend offered my cat some. He looked at her like wtaf and hissed at it.

Are you basing its inclusion onto your list on what a cat thought?

Quorn. It's vile stuff.

Ochra. Slimy, slimy weirdness.

Pickled eggs. Wrong, just wrong.

Gin. Tastes like ear wax.

Marmite is rank, but I do like Vegemite.

Durian fruit, tastes ok but the smell, dear God the smell. Never again.

I've eaten/still eat - snails, frog's legs, oysters, caviar, olives, capers, sushi, lentils and lots of other stuff mentioned on this thread, so it's definitely different strokes for different folks.

No. Just the cat also agreed why would anyone eat that

😂 poor cat has never had the lovely marinated tofu by cauldron or scrambled tofu of the lovely tofu with spicy salt and cashews from lots of Chinese takeaways.

What's the big deal with meat on the bone? Most meat has been on a bone at some point!

I'd probably take the cat's judgement tbf.

Mayonaise
Lemon grass
Cilantro

Mayonnaise, liver, raw onion.

I regret to report that one of the most popular shots at my university bar was a smoker's phlegm which was Yagermeister (sp?) with mayo.

Vile.
