What do you eat that other people find disgusting?

[AngryAmish]

I eat McDonalds.

[In_The_Wind]

1. peanut butter sandwiches with bananas and Hellman's.

[one_voice]

29. I was with you until the Hellman's...

I like peanut butter and honey too. Grew up eating that.

[In_The_Wind]

34. peanut butter and honey

Last edited Wed Feb 27, 2013, 06:36 PM - Edit history (1)

is great stuff

Hellman's on anything that doesn't taste good with mustard.

[bamacrat]

79. Finally, another person who like Peanut Butter, banana and mayonnaise sandwiches.

That was going to be mine but I need to think of something weirder...it is really effing good. The mayo adds that twang that compliments the banana in an awesome way.

[In_The_Wind]

86. indeed

[sheshe2]

121. For me it was peanut butter, lettuce and mayo...Yum!

Smooth and crunchy!

[In_The_Wind]

123. alright. I can understand the crunch, I will try it.

[Still Blue in PDX]

149. Me too, but these days I've switched to Vegenaise.

I don't know anyone else who eats PB and nanner sammiches except friends who grew up with me. Of course, Hellmann's is known as Best Foods west of the Rockies.

[In_The_Wind]

166. Perhaps, it's a southern thing.

My childhood was spent around Atlanta Georgia and Chattanooga Tennessee.

[Still Blue in PDX]

168. Mine was spent in Portland, Oregon, with a momma from North Carolina.

[Moondog]

2. Oysters. Sushi. Steak tartare. Avocados.

Crunchy peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwiches.

Actually, I'll eat nearly anything except tripe. I hate tripe. Not overly fond of haggis, either.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

4. I love steak tartare...had it last night.

I make oyster stuffing for the turkey. I can't even look at tripe.

[Moondog]

95. Lucky you. Haven't had it in a couple of years, myself.

Glad to hear that someone else out there has an appreciation for the dish.

My taste for oysters, by the way, is confined to those that are raw. Never developed a taste for oysters in poultry stuffing, for some reason. My loss, I am sure.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

98. My father loved them raw and fried... and in stuffing....

You rarely see Steak Tartare on the menu these days. There is a great restaurant on Palm Beach that serves it...if you ever get down this way.

[Moondog]

100. A man of discerning tastes.

I have a couple of friends from law school who still live in south Florida - in Dade and Broward. I get down that way now and again. Easy enough to take 95 instead of the turnpike. What's the name of the restaurant?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

102. Chez Jean Pierre

I can send you a link if you'd like...

My son practices tax law in Miami...small world Moondog.

[Moondog]

104. First entry in the main courses section of their menu. Tres bien!

I'll easily be able to find it. Thanks for the tip!

And yes, it is a very small world. Stunningly so, at times.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

107. You will love it!

We moved to PBC in 1987, ...I have always considered it the world's largest goldfish bowl!

[sir pball]

139. If the people you know find any of that disgusting

You need to different friends!

[HarveyDarkey]

3. I just love anchovies on pizza.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

6. I loved them piled on a Ceasar Salad!

[HarveyDarkey]

7. Same here, but most people think of pizza when they're mentioned

very few people like anchovies at all

[Sekhmets Daughter]

8. I love them...but I love anything salty

[union_maid]

14. How 'bout the 3 of us go out to eat.

We'll get Ceasar Salad with/anchovie and then pizza w/anchovies. We could bring my sister because she is the only other anchovie loving person I know. God, now I"m getting hungry and it's only 11 AM here. Plus I should be working.....

[Sekhmets Daughter]

15. Sounds wonderful!

[timdog44]

65. I think most

people don't know that a classic Ceasar salad has anchovies on it.

Also love anchovies on pizza. We make our own.

[graham4anything]

48. I love them in Greek Salad and also pizza, eggs

and I bring some with me sometimes to places that don't serve them and throw them on.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

51. Now that's love!

Greek salad with anchovies and lots of Feta....

[Tom Ripley]

35. Anchovy paste spread on toast is also great

[geardaddy]

41. Me too.

[fizzgig]

42. i am a fan of anchovies

i took myself out to lunch years ago and the restaurant offered free anchovies on the ceasar upon request. i figured what the hell, i might as well try it. it was love at first bite.

[timdog44]

66. You might like

bonya calda. It is an Italian dip of butter and olive oil and anchovies and garlic and creme all heated in a fondu style pot. Then dip whatever you like in it. Bread or veggies.

[HarveyDarkey]

68. That does sound good

I found several recipes for it

[GoCubsGo]

97. Me, too!

Yum!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

5. Banana and Mayo sandwices...

[In_The_Wind]

25. yum

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018316433#post1

[Sekhmets Daughter]

32. I skip the peanut butter....

I love the tang Hellmans gives to a sweet banana.

[In_The_Wind]

36. yea

lunch time . . .

[Sekhmets Daughter]

39. Why yes it is...

[Still Blue in PDX]

169. Sometimes I skip the banana . . .

There are several permutations of the sandwich, all yummy.

[MynameisBlarney]

72. I used to eat those all the time

when I was a kid.

Saw this on another site...

Had to share, lol.

?w=600&h=749

[Sekhmets Daughter]

74. Love it!

I still eat banana sandwiches!

[HereSince1628]

9. Brined, stuffed and smoked livestock intestines

which are the casing component of organic sausages.

I also like the 'snap' of collagen casings on brats. Collagen casings are made by running beige-slime (highly processed cattle skin) through an extruder to produce an 'endless' and uniform tube.

Brats in such casings also make lovely jewelry--

[geardaddy]

46. I agree on the casings.

Brats and hotdogs with natural casings are the best.

[HereSince1628]

54. Does that mean you disagree about the jewelry?

She's sucking on a glass with a Republican elephant logo, CAN SHE REALLY BE WRONG IN WISCONSIN????????????????

[geardaddy]

55. I'd wear the jewelry

if it was edible.

[HereSince1628]

58. Only with a good stone ground mustard on a semmel roll!!!!!!!!!!!!

[geardaddy]

59. Bingo!

[davsand]

10. Underwood Deviled Ham, canned corned beef when I can afford it.

Laura

[Still Blue in PDX]

152. Sounds really good.

I think I'm going to opt out of my vegan lifestyle and spend a day in "flexitarian" mode and try that.

Once or twice a year I go omnivore, although usually it is just for my momma's pulled pork recipe at Christmas.

[hollysmom]

11. pickled pigs feet or pastina and milk.

[HERVEPA]

12. Cheese whiz

[backtoblue]

13. artichokes and olives on a mushroom cap

it's amazing what kinds of veggies repulse my relatives! : )

[RevStPatrick]

16. Kimchee...

Sweetie has to leave the building on the rare occasions that I bring some home.

[geardaddy]

159. Loves me some kimchee

I especially like the radish kind (Kkakdugi)

[HappyMe]

17. White Castle!

It's truly delicious.

[In_The_Wind]

26. I miss those!

[img][/img]

[geardaddy]

43. Oh yeah!

Just plain with ketchup-mustard (it's in one bottle) and a bag of onion chips after a hard night of drinking.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

87. Nothing's better after (big number, too many) beers.

My beer drinking has fallen off in recent years, so sliders don't have the same attraction.

Good grease!

[Enrique]

18. relish out of the jar

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Liver and onions.

[one_voice]

28. mmmm...I love liver and onions!..

one of my favorite meals: liver n onions, brussel sprouts, asparagus and mashed taters. My mom would make that for my birthday when I was growing up. My brothers and sister would gag.

[freshwest]

90. Um, sounds great. Used to make it with gravy and rice though. People loved it.

[Still Blue in PDX]

154. The cafeteria at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center made the best liver and onions!

Now that I'm mostly vegan I don't like thinking about it.

[Dash87]

20. Mac and Cheese + ketchup!

[Son of Gob]

111. I like Velvetta Shells and Cheese with hot sauce, crushed up Doritos and a dollop of sour cream.

[Bertha Venation]

21. In the past, I have enjoyed mixing

Dr Pepper and chocolate milk. Mmm . . . delicious.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

22. Ketchup on eggs (fried, scrambled, etc.)

Salsa's even better, if I have any.

[Phentex]

23. Circus peanuts...

millions sold. We can't ALL be wrong!

[Art_from_Ark]

125. Any time I hear "circus peanuts",

I remember the time in junior high band when we had to go door-to-door selling band candy just before Halloween. I was in the unfortunate group that was foisted with the task of trying to sell circus peanuts-- that had been left over from the previous year! (Everyone else seemed to get easy-to-sell stuff like Hershey's miniatures). Anyway, at the first house we stopped at, the man at the door asked us if the candy we were selling was the kind that we, ourselves, would like to receive for Halloween. I piped up and said, "Well, I tried the circus peanuts, and they were kind of icky".

[hack89]

24. Marmite. nt

[Still Blue in PDX]

151. I like Marmite. nt

[hack89]

153. You have refined tastes. nt

[midwest irish]

27. Belgian lady in my office

hates peanut butter. Hates it. Thinks it's disgusting. Ive noticed a lot of Europeans dont like it.

[Major Nikon]

143. I distinctly remember two French families I've stayed with that had peanut butter

The Belgians like mayo on French fries. I can't say I've seen too many Belgian restaurants outside of Belgium either.

[sharp_stick]

147. they do mayo on fries in Quebec too

I actually developed a taste for it.. Oh and poutine, can't get enough poutine.

[4_TN_TITANS]

30. Country ham (salt and sugar cured), all things seafood

squid, octopus, clams, raw oysters.

[Tom Ripley]

31. raw oysters, kimchi, gizzards, chicken liver, chestnuts, grasshoppers, hog jowl, marrow, Lorax

just kidding about the Lorax

[4_TN_TITANS]

116. I forgot gizzards and livers and hearts

Growing up, we ate every part of the bird but beaks and assholes.

[Gorp]

33. Tofu

[GoCubsGo]

101. I had that for dinner tonight.

If you drain firm tofu, and freeze it overnight, it changes the texture. It turns more spongy, and it doesn't crumble, so you can slice it a lot easier for grilling or baking. And being more spongy, it soaks up marinades a lot better. S

[Gorp]

105. I tend to marinade it and fry it in high heat to sear the outside surfaces.

Usually I put chunked mushrooms in the marinade with the tofu. I'm not sure why, but the mushroom flavor seems to migrate into the tofu. It also softens the mushrooms so they cook faster. And grumpy cat does NOT approve of your post.

Do you cook with tempeh? It's good in marinades too. It stays firm at all times. My favorite way to cook it is to cut it into 1/4" strips and fry it in peanut oil. You can season it however you want, but Old Bay is the best! Then you can dip it in ketchup, BBQ sauce, cheese sauce, tarter sauce (grumpy cat's real name), cocktail sauce, blue cheese dressing, or anything else that catches your fancy at the time.

Damn. Now I'm hungry.

[GoCubsGo]

108. Tempeh does not agree with me.

That's just as well, because it's hard to come by in my area, and I care much for it the one time I had it. I would love to be able to buy miso without having to drive 30 miles. We're getting a Fresh Market in a month or two, maybe they'll carry it.

[Gorp]

109. Wow. That's weird. Tempeh is almost as mild as tofu. Miso rocks. You can add it to anything.

Okay, not anything. I wouldn't put miso in a cup of tea or in a mixed drink. But with cooking it pretty much fits into anything and it's a good protein and iron source. Tempeh is as well, but for some reason, tofu doesn't have any significant iron. Tempeh and tofu are both soy, so why the difference?

[Sanity Claws]

37. Kimchee, cabbage, tofu, turnips, beets, beef tongue, lamb

These things are not exotic by any means but most people don't eat them.

One thing that I won't eat that most people have no problem with is factory-farmed chicken. It smells bad to me.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. Pieds Paquets

when I lived in southern France. It's quite good but it sounds like it must awful. It consists of stuffed sheep's entrails and sheep's feet stewed together.

[fizzgig]

40. pickled herring

we almost always had a jar of pickled herring in mayo growing up and i love it. i went to amsterdam as part of a summer class i took back in college. the first night we were there we took a canal tour of the city and ended at a little pub.

we did a jenever tasting and they set out a spread of pickled herring and gherkins. i think i was the only american student who ate it.

[geardaddy]

45. Love it.

[geardaddy]

44. Cold baked beans sandwiches with ketchup

peanut butter and bacon sandwiches

[handmade34]

47. everything I eat

disgusts someone... boiled tofu, cayenne in tomato juice, rutabaga, brewers yeast on veggies, unsweetened almond milk, dulse (quick crisp in hot oil), lots of wasabi, teff, xylitol for sweetener, etc, etc..... my family started making fun of me before I left home and the teasing never stops...

[Yavin4]

49. Okay. I admit it. I've been dating Anne Coulter.

Oh...you mean food.

[hedgehog]

50. Scrapple

[geardaddy]

56. I've never tried it, but

I've always wanted to.

[hedgehog]

60. I think it's what happened to haggis when there were no oats

but plenty of corn meal around.

I like haggis, too

[geardaddy]

61. Sounds reasonable.

Apparently my grandma made it when my mom was young.

[RebelOne]

73. When I was a child in Philadelphia,

my mother cooked Scrapple all time and I loved it. But now many years later, since I became a vegetarian, I wonder why I thought it was so delicious when I learned what was really in it.

[edbermac]

52. Other people.

Along with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

[becca da bakkah]

53. Although I'm a Foodie, I'm Actually Picky About What I Eat....

But, I LOVE Swiss cheese cut into sticks and dipped in peanut butter. Also, cottage cheese, topped with green salsa, on a Triscuit cracker. Or chili on pasta.

But my grandmother had us all beat....she loved watermelon chunks topped with a little grainy mustard!

[Tom Ripley]

62. My dad would get on quite well with your grandmother; he loves cantaloupe topped with gravy...

made from flour and frying pan drippings

[geardaddy]

57. Haggis

Steak and kidney pie
pickled chicken intestines (Taiwanese movie snack)
gizzards
pope's nose
turkey necks
any kind of liver

[RebelOne]

75. I had haggis in Inverness, Scotland, and it was pretty tasty,

but now that I am a vegetarian, I would never eat it again.

[Still Blue in PDX]

156. I tried haggis on a "flexitarian" day.

I figured if I was going to take a vacation from vegan day I might as well go all out.

[geardaddy]

158. What did you think?

[Still Blue in PDX]

165. Not bad! nt

[LNM]

63. chicken gizzards!

First boiled to make them tender, then fried crisp with garlic powder and black pepper. Yum. I married my husband because he likes them too.

[freshwest]

91. Like dirty rice?

[Populist_Prole]

64. Raw clams, sardine & onion sandwiches, anchovies, the tails of cooked shrimp

Plus when eating whole boiled crabs, I chew on the lungs ( we call 'em "dead men"....I don't know why ) and extract the juices/spices and then spit them out, and also scoop out all the gooky crud inside the shell with my fingers and eat it.

[vanlassie]

120. Seriously?? About the crab gunk?

I was taught to turn my head away while rinsing that stuff out!

[progressivejazzredux]

67. Lupini beans.

Not the shells, of course. Can't get enough of them, if the brand is right.

[MynameisBlarney]

69. Livermush

or Liver pudding.

It is sooooo good.

[Xipe Totec]

70. Goat brain tacos.

The eyes are also quite tasty.

[AngryAmish]

131. I used to have the odd sesos taco meself

gave up when mad cow and chronic wasting hit the scene.

[KamaAina]

71. Just seen in our lunch room:

corn dogs dipped in a mixture of ketchup and mustard.

For a second there I thought the bizarre mixture was for his fries!!

[riderinthestorm]

76. Taco Bell bean burritos, Kraft Mac and Cheese, black licorice nt

[graywarrior]

77. Natto

Don't ask

[sharp_stick]

148. I can't even look at someone eating that

I don't know why but the texture is just so slimy and the smell kind of wafts over the table.

[graywarrior]

160. Eating it makes me feel superior to others...lol

[sharp_stick]

162. I can understand that

Take a mouthful...watch the slimy tendrils pull back into the plate...look over at your table companions.... "Your weak gag reflexes make me strong".

[graywarrior]

163. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

As I shove natto in with chop sticks.

[Jamaal510]

78. I always put either ketchup or BBQ on my salads.

[bamacrat]

80. Chicken Livers and Gizzards....

And Peanut butter, banana and mayonnaise sandwiches.

[cyberswede]

81. Peanut butter & dill pickle sandwiches.

I also used to drink milk & Pepsi, before I quit drinking soda pop.

[KamaAina]

84. Nice post, Laverne!

[cyberswede]

88. LOL - I knew someone would think of that.

[AsahinaKimi]

82. Raw Clams, Oyster.. Sea Urchin

Actually now a days I prefer my Clams steamed. Oysters are too expensive, and Umi aka Sea Urchin is way too expensive.

[Mr.Bill]

83. The cheapest boxed Macaroni and Cheese I can find. n/t

[mokawanis]

85. Milk toast

Butter some toast, pour warm milk on it, sprinkle on some sugar.

Don't know why but my family thinks it's gross.

[LiberalEsto]

89. Herring in sour cream

[hobbit709]

92. Is delicious

One of my faves. Along with anchovies.

[GoCubsGo]

99. Yep!

I love creamed herring. I went to a conference in northern Germany that had a trip to the marine institute at Bremerhaven. They served herring 20 ways at the reception. I was in Heaven!

[freshwest]

93. Jack-in-the-Box tacos. Once believed they were made of soy, but now, IDK.

[GoCubsGo]

96. Kiszka (Polish blood sausage)

I don't eat it now, but only because I can't get it around here. I was raised on the stuff, and I still love it, despite knowing what is in it.

[mucifer]

115. By me Kishka is Jewish blood sausage. We are practically related. There is some crossover.

We eat borsht, too. (I make a vegetarian kishka that doesn't taste anything like kishka).

[Trajan]

103. Smoked oysters and liverwurst

As my kids were growing up, my wife was sure they would hate each equally, as she did ...

At the moment of truth; the kids loved each, and she ran, screaming ..

[TheMadMonk]

106. Rotting mystery meat stuffed into the intestines of a pig. /nt

[Ter]

110. I drink the tuna juice from the can

Why does everyone drain it?

[Initech]

112. You name it. I'm practically a human garbage disposal.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

113. pate, cornbread and buttermilk, anchovies, oysters, escargot.

[frogmarch]

114. orange juice poured over

uncooked oatmeal. Yum!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

117. Anyone know what fumigated olives are?

I can't even find them through Google. When I was in my early twenties, I went on the road in my rock band and we toured the state of Texas. I remember that the band stayed for 6 weeks on the cow pastured outskirts of Dallas and that the only food available around our cheap motel was at a kind of Armenian or Middle Eastern store that had very weird-sounding food. They had a big sign outside that advertised things like "Tahini Borgul" and something else called "Fumigated Olives". They had several barrels full of these "fumigated olives" inside and they apparently were a big seller. I never got up the nerve to try them. I still wonder what kinds of fumes they were subjected to.

[1-Old-Man]

118. 2 or 3 times a year I'll eat a McDonald's Fish Sammich.

I can't help myself.

[840high]

119. I like their

fish sandwich - hold the cheese. The fish bites are good, too.

[DotGone]

122. Durian

Nothing like the smell of the King of Fruits to get the saliva moving

[bobclark86]

124. Well, according to most men I know...

I like it when lady friends "help me out," so I'm willing to return the favor...

[Arctic Dave]

126. Pickled Muktuk.

Love the stuff.

[Adsos Letter]

127. SPAM

...it's a sickness...

[Still Blue in PDX]

157. I had spam sushi at a Hawaiian restaurant.

My ankles were swollen for a week! We're talking major sodium overload.

Didn't taste bad, though.

[Behind the Aegis]

128. Pork Rinds.

[Arcanetrance]

129. Blood sausage with lingonberry jam

[LiberalEsto]

133. Are you Estonian?

That's part of the traditional Estonian Christmas Eve dinner.

[Arcanetrance]

134. No I tried it in culinary school and thought it was delicious have been eating it ever since

[LiberalEsto]

135. I love lingonberry jam

However when I found out what Estonian verivorst (blood sausage) was made with, (around age 12) I stopped eating it. Now I'm vegetarian and serve mushroom strudel on Xmas Eve.

[Arcanetrance]

136. Lingonberries are delicious and I think really overlooked in America

I like to make crepes with a lingonberry filling

[LiberalEsto]

137. When I was a kid, my mom used to buy a huge jar of fresh lingonberries

from an importer in Brooklyn, NY. She used it to make her own lingonberry jam.
I believe they're related to cranberries, but smaller.
Needless to say, my parents were Estonian immigrants.

[Arcanetrance]

138. As I said before sadly I wasn't exposed to them until I was much older.

My mom's side came from Italy and my dad's side came from Hungary neither side seemed to use them.

[LiberalEsto]

144. Pancakes and lingonberry jam go well together

Sometimes I make large, slightly thin pancakes, which we spread with reduced fat sour cream and lingonberry jam. Roll them up and enjoy.

If you're anywhere near a World Market or Ikea, they both sell lingonberry jam. L-berries grow in cold climates like Scandinavia.

[Arcanetrance]

145. I do a similar thing with crepes

[sharp_stick]

150. You can get it at IKEA

I always grab a jar when we go there.

[Arcanetrance]

155. I get mine from the trader Joes I usually don't go to ikea I don't really care for their stuff

Everything I've ever gotten from them broke

[sir pball]

140. +6.02e23

Well...not the jam. I like it fried crispy with a poached egg and grain mustard, toast points. But still - it's one of the best food for making people inch their chairs back while trying not to be visibly nauseated.

Besides andouillete at least, but even I can't stomach that shit..

[Arcanetrance]

142. I'm a big fan of andouille not so much for andouillette

[sir pball]

146. I stick with Cajun andouille myself

Not a fan of digestive tract parts except as sausage casings. Well, maybe well-cooked tripe.

[Arcanetrance]

161. I find the cajun version much more flavorful than the traditional french version

[sir pball]

164. Yep...pretty much the only commonality is the name

[sigmasix]

130. PB&B&CC

Peanut butter, bacon and cheddar cheese sandwich.

I also like Cherry-Rhubarb, dutch crunch pie... so tart, so delicious.

[LiberalEsto]

132. This:

With a side if this:

[sir pball]

141. Huitilacoche

The can translates it as "corn mushroom" and it's quite inoffensive, but anybody who's ever actually peeled an ear of corn that's been infected with smut tends to run shrieking..

[a la izquierda]

167. It looks positively nasty.

I was in rural Mexico and my friend ordered it.

I ate chapulinas and washed them down with pulque.

[zanana1]

170. Butter and ketchup sandwiches. nt
