How to Make Homemade Bomb Pops

This is a simply wonderful, well-researched, and imaginative post. Darn. Wish I'd written it! Now, how about some recipes, Amanda?

What's the one food you just won't eat?

Beets and turnips. Can't get around the metallic taste either. Used to hate brussels sprouts, but found a way to make them yummy (roast them!).

As to the "sea urchin roe" detester, I can guarantee you have never tasted nor even seen sea urchin roe. Uni, which is the food that comes from the sea urchin is, in fact, gonads. When you order sea urchin in a sushi restaurant, you are getting the testicles from the hermaphroditic aquatic hedgehog. But I know what you mean. Uni is not my favorite either. Nor are crab brains, which I was served many times when I lived in Japan. For that matter, any kind of brains--sweatbreads from cattle, etc.

Back to gonads. There's a lovely restaurant in Oklahoma City, OK called Cattlemen's. They serve a dish called "lamb fries." We ordered it and ate it up with relish without knowing it was, you guessed it, lamb testicles. All I can say is they were incredibly tender and tasty.

@Tumerica: The recipe was linked to in this post, but it looks like people are not seeing it, so I went ahead and placed it here; it appears just after all of Amanda's handy info on molds and freezing.

Oh god. There really are a lot of things I will not eat. There is not just one. But, here are a few:

~Roasted Peppers - I will not eat them or anything they touch. AWFUL
~Mushrooms
~Asparagus
~Water Chestnuts
~FISH (but I do eat the Shellfish family-MMMM)
~Anything that has nuts in it. Hate it when people put nuts in bownies! No. This ruins the taste. But man, do I love nuts by themselves.
~Miracle Whip

I could go on, but I will stop here...

What's the one food you just won't eat?

it's a very very...very long list... it's probably quicker/easier to list what I will eat.

One thing I absolutely refuse to pick around is mushrooms, if anything has mushrooms in it, I would rather starve than consume.... it's tainted.

What's the one food you just won't eat?

W. Who wants to eat anill eat bananas and pineapple and peaches; but nothing with them as an ingredient.

I too, try to stay away from organs (except liver.) Oh, and lima beans.

Crabs have brains large enough to extract and serve?!?

From Talk

What's the one food you just won't eat?

Fish. Fish sauce. Anything remotely fishy.

Also, I HATE runny egg yolks, they remind me of mucous.
