Fish Tacos (2 words that should never go together)

OMG, have you not had any good fish tacos?

I make a killer fish taco!

PS: I didn't know what spotted dick was either!
But, it is out, for me.
Not because of the name, but because I am not big on raisins.

 

[Poohbug]

blood .....anything. Just yuk.
I don't even eat blood oranges.

 

[Laura24]

spam, anything hash (i.e. Corned beef) , grits, scrapple, tripe,
liver, sushi.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

To be fair, despite the name Spotted Dick is actually really tasty. It's a raisin cake/pudding thing.

Blech, that sounds worse than the name

Monkey Bread
Scrod

I had to laugh at this. My mom makes monkey bread and my kids love it. My youngest was about 5 and was enjoying a big piece of it, but said he felt bad for the monkeys. When we explained to him that there weren't any actual monkeys in monkey bread, he was very relieved.

Haggis

Grits. Grit is what we put on roads when it's snowing or icy, not for breakfast! Plus they smelt disgusting.

Sprouts. Green and revolting.

Cauliflower. That aint no flower!

Ok I admit it. I eat liverwurst. It makes a yummy sandwich on whole grain bread with provolone cheese. And I adore blood oranges.

I also eat Spotted Dick.

Monkey Bread is so good!!! I have no idea why it's called that but man, it's good stuff! So are fish tacos, if they are made right. Grits are also good, if they are made right and I love cauliflower.

I'm with the haggis or head cheese, blood sausage, blood pudding.......ya and no spotted dick please. LOL

Isn't Toad in a Hole like an egg cooked inside a piece of bread with a hole in the middle?

 

[tefrench]

Pickled pigs feet.
Pickled cow tongue.
Souse.

 

[RunningGirl]

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

About half the things mentioned here I love. The other half I wont eat because of what they are, not what they are called.

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