Two things; Sushi and falafel! Okay, three things....spinach, especially spanakopita. My husband grew up on a farm w/ nothing but traditional. I grew up in a big 10 college town where there is so much to choose from. He thinks I am weired and refuses to eat much of what I wish I could make for dinner.

Awwww that stinks! My husband is my guinea pig. He'll eat anything so I get to experiment all the time!

Wendy's French Fries dipped in their Chocolate Frosty.

Also... Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists dipped in Nacho Cheese. Mmmmmm

My DS13 does the Wendys fry dipped in their frosty all the time.

And at Taco Bell, he dips the carmel appel empanada in the Nacho cheese sauce. No one else in the family does it, so no clue who he got it from.

The one thing I eat that NO one likes is a grilled ham salad sandwich. Won't touch a cold ham salad sandwich with a ten foot pole, though.

What are winkles?

I'm not sure how I'd describe them, sort of like little black sea snails. After you collect them, you boil them up in a pan, take a sewing needle and eat them that way. I think the proper name might be periwinkles, but they're just winkles to us over here

What is blood pudding?

We eat that over here for breakfast and it's yummy! We call it Black Pudding in the UK. It sounds a lot worse than it is!

Sandra... my favourite Belgian food has to be.... moules frites!!

I love dried seaweed, dried squid jerky, smoked octopus snacks, mini flash fried crabs shell and all, anchovies. Whenever I eat any of that, Joe tells me to get away because it makes my breath STINK like a fish market apparently.

Liver. My Dad and I love it-but nobody else I know can stand it!!

Another liver eater here...liverwurst, too (with onions and mustard on toasted rye). I doubt there is anything I eat that could gross out this thread, just my DW. She won't even eat Pork Roll.

Do people really think sushi is nasty nowadays? [And do they still ingnorantly assume that all sushi contains raw fish?]

I spent 1977 - 1982 in Hawaii and I love sushi and especially love sashimi (which is the raw fish). I even got my Virginia-native DH to try sashimi and he loves it now, too.

Green olive and cream cheese sandwich...mmmm mmmm

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

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

I have the same aversion to vinegar. Just the smell of it used to make me nauseous. It's gotten less over the years. But I still don't like it. *BLECH*

I DO, however enjoy:

Braunschweiger
Chicken Livers
Spam
Vegemite on toast (have an Aussie friend who introduced this to me)
Lima Beans
Brussel Sprouts
Spinach

I'm NOT a very picky eater, so there really isn't much that I won't eat. THere are many things I've never tried, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like them.
