I've have Calpis and love it. Also Pocari Sweat. Good stuff.
Oh, how could I have forgotten Pocari Sweat! I actually did drink that. But no cow piss for me!

I can't imagine not trying something just because it has a weird name. I mean really, who cares what something is called? I get a 3-year-old doing that, but not a grown man or woman.
Clotted cream. Blech. We had never had it, but thought it sounded like milk that had curdled and gone bad. No way, jose.
Then on the airplane ride home we were given a little container of clotted cream with the in-flight snack. We got brave and all tried some. Oh my goodness! Delicious! I can't believe we had all passed up what was pretty close to whipping cream. Sigh. I can't believe no one in the States manufactures such goodness.
Clotted cream is another one that the name turns my stomach.
And Muscle Milk...
The other day someone on here said they were using pet milk in a recipe. I gagged.
Yes, names can trigger my gag reflex, which is why I don't try some things (tripe, for one! But that one is because I know what it is...muscle milk I cannot get over...I gag each time I walk by the huge packs at Costco...blech)
So many pages to this thread and not one rat patootie joke?
Head cheese
Just. So. Much. Wrongness.
Oh, and Spotted Dick.
I'm almost afraid to ask..never heard of it..what is it?
blood sausage
Blood sausage...ewwwwww
blood pudding
....I think 'blood ANYTHING' pretty much sums it up for me....oh, and tongue....EWWWWW!!!
Probably before your time, but I remember an episode of Sanford & Son where they served Fred sangria, then told him it translated to "blood" LOL.
....no, not before my time....I don't remember that episode though...
Julio invited them out to dinner. Fred spit it out upon hearing the translation. Julio explained it was just because of the color. Fred was relieved and said, "Oh, I was afraid it was something left over from the bullfights". LOL
You mean ratatouille?
