Do you have a no, never food?

Mine is tongue. Once mistakenly ate a salad with what looked like raw furry bacon bits in it. Was gross. Learned it was cow tongue afterwards.

Other no, never stuff: oysters. Ugh. Did it once, tasted like cold semen.

Snake. I will never knowingly eat snake.

Milk. I refuse to drink milk. Hate it.

Anyone else got no, never, foods or drinks?

We are lucky we can say this. My Mum always says that if you are hungry enough, you'll eat anything.

No, never, includes insects, tripe, ears, feet and tails (anything with cartilage).

You people are too picky, though.

Coriander - I have really tried to like it but just can't.

Goats cheese - makes me horribly bloated and do disgusting, stinky, goat-scented farts Blush.

Any tinned meat or vegetables.

Any chicken except the free range ones I get from a farm nearby. I've always felt fairly strongly about this, but after driving for several miles behind a Moy Park truck last year, eyes watering from the vile stench of filth, urine and fecal matter, I have sworn off any chickens but the ones from this farm where I have personally seen the living conditions and spoke to the farmers, for life.

I really try to avoid anything on the 'maybe' or 'no' sections of this www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/which-fish-are-okay-to-eat/

Aside from that, I'll give pretty much anything a bash. I rather love food Grin

Anything that is egg and not hidden (like in a cake or pancake or Yorkshire pudding I CAN eat). I think eggs look vile and taste vile. They scare me as you open them and you may find a chick inside. I don't ever ever deal with eggs either.

Tinned food (same reason really) but baked beans stink.

Black pudding.
The sausages I found at Asda with "sheep casing" - I now think I may never eat sausages again!

I also am obsessed with avoiding vegetable oil - it is so processed and people don't realise the crap in it!

Cheap meats - Pek chopped pork (so beloved by the parents and ILs) No way is that shit passing my lips.
Same for cheap ham - I can stand muttering and tutting in the deli aisles looking for ham that is just sliced off a pig not 'formed' or processed.
Trifle. It's the cold custard. Bleurgh
Milk. I eat natural yogurt though
Milk puddings- semolina/tapioca/rice pudding . Slimy rankness
Fish and chips from the chippy - gives me heartburn and diarrhoea every time. too much grease.

Other than that pretty much anything goes. Offal is fine, oysters are fine/

I do remember a particularly scary soup served to me in Hungary as a young teen. The floating chicken's feet were for the special guests (us). I declinded. Shock

i am pretty fussy, and prefer not to eat most offal, fatty meats, and quite a lot of root veg. however I could choke any of those down for politeness' sake.

But i will, never, ever eat a baked bean.

Shellfish apart from scallops
Celery
Tea

Anything else I'll pretty much be able to chocke down if necessary. Those three make me actually vomit.
