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!

I used to think celery was awful until I discovered two lovely ways to eat it:

With peanut butter spread onto it and raisins on top

Cut into slices and mixed with grated carrot, sultanas and walnuts. A really nice salad accompaniment.

Both of these make me really adore the taste of celery! It's nice cooked in a stew or casserole too. Bloody love celery now can't get enough but I definitely don't think it's the sort of thing you just eat alone, the flavour and texture doesn't quite work.

I like pretty much everything on this thread!

I agree with the pps who’ve said crap meat. I’ve eaten plenty in my youth but now I’d much rather not eat meat at all than buy low welfare.

Olives
Raisins
aubergine and courgette and the nasty pickles you get on burgers (do you still get them on burgers? Haven't had a McDonalds etc in donkey's years).
not fond of tuna in any form, but prefer fresh to tinned, but love seafood.
Brussels sprouts - barf!
Quorn and tofu and quinoa.

All meat
All fish/seafood
Mushrooms
Aubergine
Celery
Dill
Raisins in savoury food
Any fresh tomatoes (other than piccolo cherry tomatoes)
Fried eggs
Omelette that is too "eggy" and dense (looking at you mum)
Baked beans
Most other beans
Quinoa
Cheap tinned tomatoes
Tinned vegetables of any kind
Tinned soup
Bagels
White bread
Processed baked goods in general
Supermarket birthday cake is vile
Overripe fruit
Low-fat things like muller lights, skimmed milk, margarine etc

Give me a bowl of homemade soup with some proper wholemeal bread and butter. Or a cup of tea and a rock bun.

Celery
Dill
Celeriac
Cucumber

So many.

Non-free range meat and eggs
Mushrooms
Pasta
Rice
Non-English food, ie Chinese/Indian ++
Garlic

Olive oil
Red/green peppers
Dried pulses/beans

Courgettes
Pumpkin
Oats, eg porridge

the list goes on....

Anything slimy.

Anything that had to die for you to eat...why ?

Cream
Milk as a drink, especially hot milk - yuck.
Prawns with their shells on. All those legs and feelers make me think of cockroaches - which is more or less what they are - marine cockroaches.
I can handle them without their clothes on, though.
Goat's cheese. Even the smell of it.
Fennel. The only veg I really don't like.
Oh, and fat on meat. Any of it, except maybe for a bit of really crispy bacon fat. Makes me gag.

@sobeyondthehills

I do honestly believe in top to tail, if you are going to kill something than make sure you use as much as possible. I know not many agree with me but for myself if you are in for a penny you are in for a pound. Yes I am also capable of killing, skinning and cooking my own meat as well

Same here @sobeyondthehills. I’ll eat everything but the squeal on a pig.

I’ve even had bull penis before just to try it out. That was interesting. Let’s just say he was still locked and loaded when he was killed.

I don’t really do eyeballs though but my mum used to love sucking on fish eyeballs.

That said, I really don’t like my meat sweet (FNAR FNAR) so I don’t like meat stews with apricots or raisins, etc. I also don’t trust many non-Japanese places to get teriyaki right so I never order it. It’s usually way too sweet because it’s been adapted for British or American palates. Really gross. Same thing with pad Thai. I don’t bother getting it unless I can directly ask them to reduce the sugar.

Jellied eels.

Don't you find your diet very boring and limited Silvery? All non English food? Really?

My desert island food would be celery

DD and I would quite happily sit and much through a whole head on its own - bloody love it

Celeriac I just love to sniff [weirdo]

I don’t like mustard

Radish. Evil balls of fuckoffness

Risotto

Agree with anything to do with goats

Black pudding

Aubergines...eeuucchhhh

Energy drinks.

A colleague of mine has at least 2 litres of that toxic stuff per shift. She says she prefers energy drinks to coffee because "compared to coffee they contain real fruit juices and vitamins".

I've been looking at this thread thinking... hm, but I like most of these things...

However, I absolutely agree with @Weallfeelbetterinthedark, ennergy drinks are vile.
But I've recently had ginger and matcha energy shots, those were delicious :)!

salty liquorice is also absolutely disgusting.

Silvery - You can't understand why anyone would eat non-english food? . You're beyond help.

Oysters
Meat on the bone
Fried egg
Hard boiled egg
Spam
Sushi

oh, and I'm not too fond of pascal celery. But I do love celery hearts...

Pork mince....ugh...

Really and no, although I guess you could call my diet limited I don't find it boring and love cooking and eating. It has kept me alive for 70+ years so does the job.

Actually, I think I inherited my eating habits from my Dad - he and DM once went to France for the weekend where he apparently ate virtually nothing but fortunately had taken emergency rations of cream crackers and cheddar cheese with him
