Foods I will not eat based on their names

[punkin]

I'd eat a lot of the things mentioned. In fact, I have eaten (and enjoyed) many of them. However, I tried a twinkie once, and all I can say is YUCK!!!!! Never again.

 

[cousinbb]

monkey balls....

I don't avoid certain foods just because of what they're called. I avoid certain foods because they're gross.

I'm the same way, BUT I will have to say, I'm not sure I could eat Blood Pudding simply because of the name. Doesn't matter WHAT the ingredients are. Just not sure I could get past the name...

I'm very adventurous and have eaten most of the things listed but I admit, in Tibet, I couldn't eat Yak. No Yak brain, no Yak hoof, no Yak tongue, no Yak anything.

Goldfish Crackers.... I do not think they contain any fish at all, just the name grosses me out.

Also, I will not Gummi-Worms. Yes I know they are the same thing as Gummi Bears, but the worm form is just too gross to eat.

Well, they are called "yak" for a reason.......LOL

scones are yummy!

toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding with sausages.

I am a very selective eater, some would say fussy, but I disagree.
if I like it, even with a weird name I' d be happy.

Pu Pu platter

















Though thinking of it reminds me of a scene in the Lion King.

Pickled pigs feet.
Pickled cow tongue.
Souse.

I knew you were from PA even before looking at your location.


And yeah i won't eat any of the above either. I do like scrapple, especially fried.

Spotted Dick.

oops, I just read the full posts and see I wan't the first or even third one to say this LOL


It just sounds funny (and scarey LOL)

I'll see your head cheese, blood sausage, blood pudding and raise you an "eggs and brains".

There's a place here that serves brains. I've always wanted to try it, but they also serve the perfect greasy cheeseburger & anytime I'm in there, I just can't pass up that burger I don't mind the names of blood sausage or head cheese, but personally I don't think either taste very good

I was going to say everything on the list until I got to this point
Love them both. Everything else ewwwwwwwwww.

My nomination based on name, but having tried it, not bad.

 

[loveshak22]

This is a funny thread and I agree with most posts on here - scrod, fish tacos )), anything that's called "oysters" but not taken from water, spotted dick...all on my list.

One food that I do eat but I always hesitate when ordering it - chutney!

I love chutney but for some reason when I see the word I instantly think of "chum."

There's this Japanese yogurt drink with the brand name Calpis... the problem is, it's pronounced almost exactly like cow piss.

Never could work up the courage to say, Hey, I'm thirsty, give me a bottle of that cow piss!

Kinda sad about the soy, my kids drink it everyday, my DH is the only one who drinks "regular" milk, just can bring myself to try the soy milk
