Nothing with a creamy or cheese sauce, nothing heavy on butter.
And I don't really like those raw monkey brains, either.
Heeven, the only thing I've EVER seen emus do is stand, sit and occasionally walk a few feet. They don't even ever seem to eat....
I won't eat snails. I also don't like raw tomatoes, unsure why, but I don't, though I grow them by the bushel.
Littlek, you said you don't like green beans. That's probably because you've never grown your own. Once you have, you can never eat the ones from the store again, fresh, frozen, or canned.
A freshly picked grean bean, steamed until al dente, actually squeaks against your teeth, and tastes oh so good.
I've had home grown green beans. don't like squeeky food (iiiwww).
Oh. So I take it you've never eaten a live mouse.
littlek - can you eat strawberries? they're pretty hairy.
You prepare/cook it, I'll eat it. With the exception of jellied eels and rollmop herrings. Snails/escargos, I love 'em.
Heeven must be a Red Dwarf fan....sorry, I like Emu, and Ostrich, but rarely eat it as it is prohibitvely expensive here
Slappy, don't knock raw monkey brains till you try em, the screaming makes the whole experience worthwhile....or so I've heard
and I can't spell 'prohibitively'
One thing I cannot stand is when my asian coworkers heat up their fish-sauce redolant lunches in the microwave. It is really hard to take.

Emus, a bird related to those that crossed the tertiary boundary, can be mean little bastards. An Amishman, near us. who was raising them for market, had a terrible accident. His emu pastures were punctured by a horse drawn implement being operated by his young son. Approximately 40 emus (and their associate emettes) scattered throughout the township. This called for rapid action, and "Posses" were formed to find and catch. It took a bout 3 weeks to round up the emus . Fortunately, they have a preference for others of their persuasion so they moved in a mighty mass of dusty down and foot.
When cornered, the emu will fight to the death, or until the emu forgets what he was just doing (emus are not the highest wattage bulb).
We captured all but a few(14 I believe) The missing emus were either run down by cars, were cought by wild dogs, or were stolen by other emu fanciers.
The Amishman, a few months later delivered us a package of emu haunch. We cooked it on the grill after a short nuking. It wasnt all that bad, but , if I were given the choice of beef or something that resmbles beef, I choose the cow meat.
The Amish call them Das grosser distelfink, or loosely, the big pheasant.
farmerman - great story! I like that 'emette'.
I don't think raw monkey brains are a good idea, and maybe not cooked ones, um, that is if you like brains...but I fear the dreaded prion...

Go to a sanctuary and hold a bag of food under they're nose. They'll eat.......and you won't be able to stop them.
I have an uncle that looks like an Emu, LOL. Really! My cousin and I still laugh about it :-)
Hey farmerman, I resemble that description.
Perfect comment, Heeven...
A couple years ago at my daughter's birthday party/sleepover, they came up with the idea to see who could eat the most disgusting thing. They were busily making shakes out of all the leftovers from dinner when I came up with the idea to have them try nuoc mom (fish sauce).
Several of them hurled, only one managed to actually swallow a teaspoon (she was fillipino).
I love a plate of Cold meat (ham, beef, pork, anything really but not road kill), bubble and squeak and loadsa pickles and salad stuff like tomatos, beetroot, whatever. Oh yeah and a beers
