Talk to me about offal.

Love chicken livers!!! When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to dinner at an Italian place where the specialty was livers in a wine sauce...LOVED IT!!! Had to have been the only kid I knew that would eat such things!!

From Talk

Biggest food-related pet peeve?

Hmmm, let me think...
Sauerkraut..Gawd, it just stinks up the furniture!!!
And the abomination that is...(excuse me while I wretch)...canned asparagus...Just about any canned veg for that matter.
Personally, I enjoy a bit o' mayo on my ham sandwich, also don't want my steak incinerated, but don't want it to walk off my plate either....
I take issue with my kids who, when I ask for dinner suggestions, say "I dunno"..then have the audacity to complain about what I've chosen to prepare...Hmpf!!!

Anna Pump Cookbooks- What happened there?

I just paid $55 for a used Loaves and Fishes. It was in excpetional shape, but honestly...$55??!!

Are there any foods you're ashamed to love?

I remembered another...those Jalapeno Poppers stuffed with Cream Cheese...YUM! Am I ashamed? Nah!!!

From Talk

Are there any foods you're ashamed to love?

Burnt cookies..not so much. But give me burnt bacon and popcorn anytime!!

From Talk

What seemingly basic ingredient can you simply not bear?

I too, boycott Green peppers. When I was young, my mother would make Stuffed green peppers, which I disect to get at the stuffing, leaving the pepper behind. The smallest amount overpowers everything!!!
Also, and I know this sounds odd, but while I love the flavor that caraway seed gives, to bite into one sends me right up the wall.

When purchasing this kitchen item, money is no object....

Hmm,
Anything and everything Le Creuset, a Viking Range...a girl can dream..

From Talk

What toppings would make your ultimate pizza?

I'm up for almost anything, but Hear this...If it's got canned mushrooms on it, take it right back to where it came from!! ICK!!!

From Talk

I have a good recipe for_______

I have a few...
Pound Cake, and Chocolate Malt Cheesecake....both won ribbons at the State Fair.

From Talk

What was the one meal your mother made when you were little that you absolutely hated?

Sauerbraten!!!

When I would walk up the driveway after school and smell that wretched stuff wafting from the kitchen, I wanted to turn tail and run!! As you may have guessed, I'm still not a fan...

From Talk

You know you are a foodie if..........

I waited 10 years for a beloved higher end grocery store to open a location close to my home ( before that I drove 40 miles to shop there). Finally, my dream came true, I planned my weekend around the grand opening, and now shop every weekend, strolling throught the aisles in search of something divine for dinner. I refer to the store as "the Mothership".

From Talk

Childhood, Part II. What did you hate then that you love now?

Parmesan cheese....thought it smelled like feet. Now I can't get enough of the stuff...go figure!

From Talk

Question of the Day: What weird things did you like as a child?

Used to dip banana into a can of Hersey's syrup now and then...
Also broke apart Hershey's chocolate bars and dipped them into peanut butter. I'm sensing a trend here...
As the saying goes, anything dipped in chocolate....

From Talk

My most difficult cooking task is_____

Strange as it may seem, I can prepare gourmet meals, but no matter what I do, I can't make a Rice Crispy treat (that doesn't require a chisel to rmove from the pan) to save my soul...

cheap food....for some reason my palette leans towards the expensive.

This list is reading like a list of my favorite things. There isn't really anything that I have eaten that I can't see myself eating again.

The only thing I can't wrap my head around is fertilized duck or chicken eggs that you see in some Bizarre Foods type shows. It has to be either an egg or a bit of poultry. Not both. Mind you I haven't tried it. I think I'd go for bugs before that.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Sushi
Kim Chee
Foie Gras
Thai food
Offal
Velveeta
Squid/Octopus
Jello -- especially lime
Soy Milk
Bubble Tea
.... and more.

The list has gotten longer and longer as I've gotten older. Sometimes for health reasons, and sometimes not. A small confession: I would live on chocolate if I could.

palimpsest36, that's so sad you don't like avocado... it's my favorite!

Baked tomatoes? Gag-tastic, cannot eat them, nor can I eat cooked tomato skin. I love tomato sauce, raw tomatoes, etc., etc., ...
I can now eat tomato skin in sauce if the pieces are cut up really small, but if not, i just can't swallow my bite.

As a kid, i hated cilantro, thought it tasted like soap. I love it now, i guess it's flavor just used to be too strong for my little taste buds

From Talk

Avocado. I really want to be able to enjoy guacamole, but every time...blech. And why do so many sushi rolls have avocado in them. It's just wrong.

From Talk

So many people dislike goat cheese and beets! So did I at one point, but nowadays one of my favorite side dishes is roasted beets tossed with goat cheese! They balance each other out.

Anyway. I dislike:
tripe
mortadella or any meat with big hunks of fat/gristle
supermarket bread (I don't want to like it, but it would make life easier if I didn't question the contents)

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Mayonnaise. But I don't really want to like it either.

Honorable mentions: eggplant (gag-inducing) and cottage cheese.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Calves liver, goat cheese... I have tried several times and it just wont stay in my mouth!

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

I have tried many, many different foods. There is only one food that I TRULY do not like, and that is...

...water chestnuts. I love Chinese food, even though most of the time I end up accidentally chewing a water chestnut. It's the texture that I just find revolting!

Other than that, I will eat pretty anything and everything. I don't really care for baked beans though.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Watermelon....i always look at it and think it looks so inviting and summery....i just can't get beyond the mealy texture!

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Olives, chocolate, celery and beer. Gosh I wish I liked beer.

From Talk

Oh, and Sage. Someone mentioned this in their post and I forgot how much I really hate that herb. Blech.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Sweet pickles... gross.

Stewed onions - I just find the taste and slimy mushy texture revolting. Any time I make soup or stew I toss in onion quarters and fish them out later. I love caramelized onions and green onions, so I'm not a total write-off. :)

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Extremely spicy food of any kind. Not enough milk on the planet for that!
Eel. No way, no how.
Raw Oysters. Fine if they are fried.
Calmari. The idea just doesn't set well with me. (Slimey!!)

When I was a child I couldn't stand cooked turnips and when I moved to the South I learned how to cook them so I could eat them. But I still don't eat them on a regular basis.


From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Curries. Red, green, yello, Thai or Indian, I just can't do it.
Bubble Tea. WHY??? I don't want to eat my drinks.
Seared Tuna. I don't care how vogue, frou-frou, hip it is. I don't like warm tuna.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

berries. i know, right? not stawberries, but blueberries, blackberries, raspberries...ugh. i want so badly to like them, but it is a textural thing.and apples.

Add to that any cooked fruits - can't do cobblers, fruit pies, etc.

What else?
Raw tomatoes, squash, red peppers, anise-flavored anything.

Uf. So many wishes!

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Liver (It's always horribly overdone or underdone)
Most goat cheeses (Ultra fresh chevre is okay in small doses)
Cat fish (They get periods! Ewwwwwwww)

I'm with Gator--meatloaf is a freakshow of a dish. You can hide *anything* in that puppy. No way.

Texture issues with: sushi, hard boiled eggs, tapioca pudding, tofu.

Just plain nasty: beets, fennel, hot dogs, braunschweiger, SweetTarts.

You know that nasty metallic smell of a cookie sheet that needs to be thrown away? That's what cilantro tastes like to me. Metallic. Gross. But I love all Mexican and most Thai food! Just have to get it without cilantro.

Beets. I know they're good for you, but I just can't stand them.

Sweet pickles. 'Nuff said.

Oh, and liver. As a new mom, I thought I should feed my toddler liver because it was so good for her. The doctor recommended it, right? She loved it, but I gagged every time I made it for her. Thank God she decided she didn't want to eat it any more when she turned five. I haven't been near it since.

Almost everything mentioned here sounds delicious to me. I'm afraid my item is a bit more mundane--

Pretzels. Can't stand 'em. They make me feel like I'm eating hard tack.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

I have a hard time eating octopus suckers.

From Talk

I wish I may, I wish I might...

Ketchup.

I get a lot of heck for it every time I bring it up, but I honestly can't even look at the bottle without feeling queasy. After so many years, this feeling still hasn't faded.
