Question of the Day: ______ looks better than it tastes.

ANYTHING with cilantro. Honestly, I don't know how people eat the stuff.

What would you never eat?

Blood sausage, any type of insect, and I'm with ThatGirl on her selections, too. Cow tongue? I think not. For a lot of things, I guess, it would depend on whether you knew you were eating it or not depending on the preparation.

Question of the Day: ______ looks better than it tastes.

Err.. cupcakes. I'm guilty of baking lots and lots of them, and even though they tasted good, the main reason people love them is their appearance. I'd say 99% commerial cakes look better than they taste. Seriously, opera cake, sacher torte.. *yawn*

Cook the Book Giveaway: 'Pork & Sons'

There's a pulled pork pita served at a café in my university that's the single best food item available on campus. Some kind of magical Mediterranean-style marinade transforms it into mouthfuls of porky heaven.

Cook the Book Giveaway: 'Pork & Sons'

My favorite is ribs (baby back?), my great aunt had a really good recipe for BBQ sauce (aunt dorie's BBQ sauce) She probably just got it from a cookbook and called it her own. Even done in an oven they are good but so much better on the grill.

I love all these things everyone else won't eat (except the fast food, of course). But for some reason coconut nauseates me. Just smelling that lotion on people in summer is nauseating, and coconut macaroons are g-ross. People find ways to ruin all sorts of good food with coconut! And coconut water - ugh. I went to Vietnam and we had to drink it, to stay hydrated because it's so hot that you need the electrolytes and minerals in it. But it got really frustrating, having to take it in every day. Also, sometimes mangos have a slight coconut flavor - ruining a wonderful mango - It makes me afraid to buy them, because I won't be able to abid them! The only way I've been able to stand coconut is in coconut cream pie, coconut custard pie and coconut frosting...probably because the creaminess dominates the coconut flavor.

What would you never eat?

I don't do offal, with the exception of livers, of all things. Also, no bugs and just the thought of the maggot cheese mentioned above makes me gag. (*Turns head and takes a couple of deep breaths*)

In the veggie category I won't eat radishes, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, okra, and canned green beans. I don't do very well with slimy things and I really hate morrells.

I'm an Indonesian, so I've eaten most things you guys stayed away from (intestines, brain, tongue etc.). I love beef tripe and lungs, but I hate the intestines. It's kind of strange since I dont really care for the meat. I just have a taste toward the extraordinary i spose. I do not like brain. period. I used to love tongue stew but the love is gone now.

However, I never tried genitals. Probably I would never, although if life has taught me one thing, it's never say never. Apart from that, I would never eat pet animals, you know cat, dogs, RABBITS.. Goldfish, though...

From Talk

What would you never eat?

I second the list of fast food establishments by DaveFaris above.

I eat most anything (insects, organs, etc) as long as it's fresh or prepared well, with the exception of the sadly long list of animals that are endangered - pandas, tigers, elephants, snow leopards, bears, etc. Those I would have to refuse.

From Talk

What would you never eat?

Organs... or Snails... I hate the aftertaste...

From Talk

What would you never eat?

I would have to be really drunk to eat brains or monkey. Otherwise, I think I'd sample about anything. That's a dare...

From Talk

I would never eat Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme.
My heart belongs to Fluff!

Insects, organ meats from ANY animal, snails. I cannot imagine biting into a snail.

A meal in an over-priced, self-aggrandizing restaurant in New York City.

I'm with NYBITECLUB - i stay away from the genetalia....ewwww

From Talk

What would you never eat?

Pretty much any animal part from any animal. I guess that I never really acquired a taste for it because now that I don't eat it, I just don't miss it.

What would you never eat?

Dog is my personal no-go. It's still eaten in China and in the main cities it's sold as street meat on a stick.

From Talk

What would you never eat?

I have tried many things from snake and brains, to turtles and crickets.. I have a problem with the male genitals of any animal.. Thats pretty much where i draw the line.

From Talk

What would you never eat?

Have enjoyed rocky mountain oysters, Cabesa tacos, tongue,Pork cheek and chitlins but absolutely refuse to ever again eat rutabaga!

From Talk

What would you never eat?

being french, i've eaten a bunch of stuff that my american friends would never consider eating. so i'd try pretty much anything. except for bugs... all those shows out now featuring overzealous hosts trying to mimic a certain celebrity chef, they can keep their mouthfuls of ants and beetles.

From Talk

What would you never eat?

Freshwater fish (and, yes, I've tried and tried, just don't like it). Anything moving--I edited a cookbook that had a recipe for live shrimp, the feature of which was feeling them move down your throat and into your stomach. Not for me!!!
Any fast food. My last venture into a McDonald's was five years ago, after driving three hours in the dark of a rural morning. I had a coffee.
