What Food Do You Love That Others Think Is Nasty?

[TaraPA]

Oh, I can so totally beat you all!!! I like...

VINEGAR!!! It's yummy, especially with cucumbers.

Yum. Now I'm hungry.

You think vinegar is odd? Around here everyone including my kids eat vinegar - in veggie salads (love love love cucumber salad), poured over ham & string beans, and especially on fries - my kids even dip their chicken fingers in vinegar! I can't go to a carnival without having fries & vinegar!

Fried egg on white bread with extra mayo.

Love this!

Dutch Licorice.

Very, very, very salty black licorice. And I like the double salted version.

DMIL, who is a huge fan of black licorice, and very much a proper lady, actually projectile spit it across the room when she put it into her mouth

Where can I get this?

Sorry...I should probably know, but...what's okra?

Oh and mine is ketchup and yellow cheese on hamburger roll.

This is one of my faves! I don't eat meat, so when we go to a BBQ, this is what I have! I like throwing some Lay's Potato Chips in there, too.

I have another to add to my list. My ex-husband actually refused to go with me to seafood places because this disgusted him so much. I like to mix tartar sauce with malt vinegar and dip my fish in it.

I didn't know this was strange! I do the same thing!

if I eat fries, then I use mayo or tarter sauce to dip them also! actually I know a lot of people do that!

I like peanut butter on toast with bacon.

and I LOVE egg white omelets. a lot of people cannot conceive the thought of this!

Love PB & Bacon sandwiches (toasted). It's a treat for me and DH to do this once in a while

The only things in the whole thread that I've seen that seem cringeworthy are scrapple and Rocky Mountain Oysters.

I'm a pretty adventurous eater. I'm not quick to poopoo much of anything, and I rarely find stuff that I hate. I bet half of the stuff I've eaten in my lifetime people would cringe at

The other day for lunch I had pizza with hot peppers, garlic, and pineapple, and my friend acted like it was the most digusting thing ever. I thought it was yummo! I like anchovies, sardines, escargot, the list goes on and on.

That pizza sounds DIVINE! When we order pizza, I have to get my own b/c no one in my family likes what I do. I usually get jalapeno, garlic/herb and green olives.

I don't personally know anyone in my life who doesn't like vinegar

Ditto. I put vinegar on a good chunk of my food. Loooooove it on pinto beans...with a little sour cream! I used to do shots of it. SIGH.


Weird foods - hmm.

I take unsalted peanuts, put them in a bowl. Top with aresol cheese and eat with a spoon..

Pb, american cheese and pickle sandwiches.

Pea soup.....I know it doesn't look so great but I think it's delicious

I also love snails & cockles. Pumpkin butter is yummy but some people think it looks to gross to eat.

This is what I love as well, it is a very acquired taste. Most people do not like it, we grew up with it, all my brothers and sisters love it, any of the inlaws that we have brought in over the many years can't stand it. My DSIL refuses to let it in her house she says it makes my brother have gas but he and his kids always sneak it in when they go to Oma's.

Isn't it a liver pate of some sort, like liverwurst?

I cannot stand vinegar! I about pass out when we use vinegar to dye Easter eggs - and that's just from the smell! I can't eat anything that's remotely vinegary. I just read that someone did shots of vinegar and it totally gave me the willies! Yes, I have a serious aversion to it!

However,I love grits!

I drink vinegar.

 

[Todd&Copper]

I drink vinegar.

Me, too. I do shots of it. Sometimes I do a progression, first the causitc white, then the apple cider, and finish with the lightly sweet balsamic.

Geez, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I can't drool at work . . .

 

[sssteele]

Correct!

 

[KyraS]

Come on, there has to be someone on here who will admit to eating Rocky Mountain Oysters besides me!

Let's see I love almost all Southern Food, Greens, Grits, Okra, Chili Cheese Burgers etc.

 

[princessesrule4]

I drink vinegar.

Don't be embarassed - it's just my weird aversion to it!

But I did get the willies again when I read your post!

More heebie - jeebies for me!

okra, fried or pickled but not stewed.
sushi and sashimi
kimchee
natto (feremnted soy beans)
turnip and collards greens

For me it's Scrapple. Being from Philly I could eat it night and day my DW thinks I'm crazy to eat it. The other night my DW and I were watching Ace of Cakes and Duff admitted he loves Scrapple too I'll told my DW "see it's not just me".

Like it myself but can't get any here except frozen and it is nasty that way. Falls apart

 

[jimmalru80]

It's gotta be fried pork rinds for me.

 

[swandiverpatt]

What my siblings and I fondly refer to as a "grease sammitch." White bread (or whatever bread you have) sopping with hamburger grease, preferably eaten warm. Mmmm .... now *that's* good eatin'!!

I love peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich on wheat bread -- has to be dill pickles and has to be wheat bread. (I swore this was a hangover cure in college).

I've had rooster fries (tasted like chicken).

I love snail salad, and have family members who get grossed out by it!

Umm... I love seafood - mussels, cockles, winkles, anything you find on the shore really A lot of people I know hate that stuff.

I also love liver, which a lot of people hate, as well as escargot (which my bf hates) and pork rinds/scratchings. I also ate lamb's fry when I was younger but haven't had it in years.
