@Graphista - I grow rhubarb, and I had no idea you could eat it raw. Thanks for the tip!

Okra is lovely if it's cooked right, but AWFUL if it isn't ski.

I can't understand gherkins. What's the point? Or pickled eggs, for that matter. I also really dislike cream cakes - neither naughty nor nice, just revolting.

Yes but it must be ripe and ONLY the stalk - leaves and roots highly toxic I believe

I once drank a "brain haemorrhage" which was Baileys with a swirl of Grenadine syrup. Delicious!

I'm hogging the thread but lobster. Oh my god. I once ordered it in a fairly upmarket restaurant and had to leave the majority of it. That green stuff that's supposed to be delicacy.....

"Squirty" cheese from a tube or bottle, insects, milk, anything from the marrow/courgette/cucumber family. Gherkins and other pickles. Nasty.
