Come on now Edgar, stop pulling your punches. Tell us how you really feel about okra.
Looks like everyone does pretty much have different tastes. I know I'll come up with more as I think about it.
Someone above mentioned snails. Was it you Gezzy?
I think they're revolting . . . yuk!
Here in Rogues Island they have something called 'snail salad'
it's AWFUL but it's quite popular nevertheless . . .I guess I'll never be a real Rhode Islander.
oh, oh! I have to stop thinking about it or I'll puke!
I forgot, no raw oysters for me either, after that time at Mismaloya Beach...although I did look pretty cute with that tan and twelve pounds lighter.

Yup, it was me. Just the thought of trying it makes me sick.

Never tried oysters either and probably never will.
Oh, I have a long list:
- Fresh tomatoes
- Fresh cucumbers
- Avocado
- Caviar
- Spinach
- Sea food (except some kinds of fish, like tuna or salmon)
- Prunes
- Liver, kidneys, udders, hearts, lungs, brains and spleens of any livestock
- Coriander
I cannot say anything about oysters, snails and frogs, since I have never tasted them, but it seems to me unlikely that I ever will.
I hate them okreeses to pieces.
I don't like avocado's either, or anything that comes from inside any animal, including toungue. I never tried that stuff, but never will either.

What's an okreeses?
I think, he meant okra, a vegetable pod used in some Mideastern and African meals. I do not like it either, but I cannot say that I am disgusted with it.
Any try chicken feet? My friend loved it, but I couldn't get myself to try it. Not even once, and I'm game for almost anything.
c.i.
I eat almost anything, but brains really gross me out. There are foods I wouldn't run towards in a hurry, but not much that truly disgusts me. I might add testicles and eyes of any kind to my list however, and insects. I actually like okra sliced, quickly blanched and refreshed in cold water (rinses off a lot of the slimy stuff, and keeps it crisp, not mushy) served like a cold Japanese salad, in a sunomono-style mirin-sesame dressing. Never liked liver until I cooked it myself....I especially like a nice sweet veal liver, with olive oil, coarse sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, just seared on a very hot grill, and left pink. Delicious! That and a salad with watercress, apple cider vinaigrette and some sauteed apples makes a very nice lunch or light dinner.
c.i., I have had both chicken and duck feet, done Chinese BBQ style....once you get over the visual, they are not that different from wings
I guess the visual is too overwhelming for me!

Oh, but I like fried oysters, especially from Fuchow in LA's chinatown.
Hmm, I thought I posted all about being picky about eggs. I think I did, I think I did. Wonder where I posted it.....sigh.
No chicken feet or bugs for me either, yuk!!!!
Ossobuco
I don't remember seeing anything about eggs.
The best chicken feet are at the Howard Plaza in Taipei. Served in a vinegar wasabi poaching.
Cav--you can serve liver anyway you wish just not near me. I'vehad people try to make a liver lover of me by doing the pink insides thing. Ddoesn'thelp. I think that, like other tastes, there is a genetic component to its receptors . Like cumin, some people like it, other people are revolted by its smell.
Another flavor is hazelnut. I know many people who are sickened by being near someone with a cup of hazelnut coffee. I don'l tike it either but I don't yack a hairball when Im mear it.
this spellcheck is not worth keeping, lose it.
