Without a doubt the only food not fit for human consumption....only chimps and other "alike" animals.

Calf Liver (my mom used to pan fry it after soaking it in milk) :barf:

Lima Beans

I can't stand Natto! Stuff doesn't taste good, and it smells like feet. First time I smelled it I thought that my wife or I might have had a bad case of stinky feet!

[Trail]

Wow, Muku. A lot of people like bananas. What exactly turned you off to them?

LoL....

*note to self; avoid Natto.

[Muku]

Wow, Muku. A lot of people like bananas. What exactly turned you off to them?

I used to like them until I got into HS, then I worked at a Custard Stand as a part time job and during the summer time had to peel and slice something like 150 to 200lbs of bananas a day. :barf: My hands turned brown from the juice in the bananas and to this day CAN NOT stand them, they make me :barf::barf::barf:

Calf Liver and beets, the childhood torture meal:barf:

[Muku]

P I used to hate natto as well until one day I realized that both natto and cheese are fermented or aged foods. Yeah I was drunk....and the first time I had natto was "natto maki sushi" with plenty of wasabi.

After I tried that I was hooked and now love the stuff.

I luv cheese too btw.:thumbup::D

[P_chan]

yeah but cheese doesn't smell like feet and look like snot covered rabbit turds.

[Trail]

Calf Liver and beets, the childhood torture meal:barf:

I like pickled beets, a lot! Just plain boiled beets, :barf:.

Muku, I totally understand now. Worked at a place that sold mostly fried chicken (no not KFC) and I rarely eat fried chicken, ever. I also avoid coleslaw as well since fried chicken and slaw go hand in hand.

[TheLastDon]

Most mushrooms I can't stand the texture especially shitake.

Pig intestines, nakasumi(I think that's right) soup makes me sick. My mother-in-law made that for New Years one time. The smell from boiling them actually made me sick for 3 days.

[Trail]

I guess you have never had limburger cheese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limburger_cheese)?

The bacterium used to ferment Limburger cheese and other rind-washed cheeses is Brevibacterium linens; this same bacterium is found on human skin and is partially responsible for human body odor.[1]

Don...nakami-jiru...I used to think the same way, .....been living here long enough that I have gotten used to it. It is a traditional food here for any type of "celebration" like new years.

That's true, but I don't eat limburger cheese!


btw the only time I will eat limburger cheese is when I am 100% drunk and have a cold that stuffs my nose up to the point that I need a hose to drain it.

I am as white as Wonder Bread always wondered who the hell thought up frying pigs intestines and to be honest, I am leery of chitlins.

[Trail]

Guess white folks have haggis and pickled cow tongue. I guess chitlins aren't so bad when you look at those two...

[P_chan]

My wife is always eating pig legs and intestines. Kinda cool to watch the intestines pop on the grill, but I'll pass.:barf:

[AFuel567]

Well you boil them, then fry the leftovers. The term "living high on the hog" comes from the fact the the "massa" took the chops and steaks or high parts of the animal and left the feet, ears, tails, entrails and other odd bits for the slaves and foremen. Growing up in Colorado I just thought Soul Food was just what black folks ate, imagine my surprise when I went to the south and realized that Soul Food is just poor folk food and every body eats Soul Food down there.

[Trail]

Smoked pig hocks are great! I'm unsure how they are Japanese style. I'd pass on intestines too P....

[P_chan]

It's not so much the taste of the intestines, but the texture of the meat. I don't like meat with a chewy texture. Which is why I don't eat intestines, squid, octopus, or raw fish too often.

AFuel, I don't think I have had too much Soul Food. Fried catfish, fried/boiled okra, and collard/mustard greens are as southern as I have gotten. Beet tops and Swiss Chard is comparable to most greens and we grew up on those.

If you cant eat them then I will buy you a case of beer.

Probably what turned Muku off about bananas is the shows on B.C. St. ,actually that adds more flavor!

Non-pickled pig feet are pretty good just messy to eat, the best part about oki is I can go to Union/JUSCO/San-A and pick some up(from the bento aisle) and not have to cook them.

Wow Afuel, we grew up on a lot of similar foods.. . lol. I wasn't crazy about okra but it's decent sliced and then thrown into veggie soup. Have you also had rutabaga?

I've only tried crawdads once. Didn't care for them but I was also a kid. (12 y/o) I'd try them again if I knew they were fresh and cooked properly.

Nope. I was at my grandmas house once when she was making boiled dinner (ham and assorted veggies) in a pressure cooker. She managed to blow the top off it and it lodged into the plaster ceiling. I laugh now but it was scary when it happened.

Cow's tongue is one of the New York deli cholesterol triad, along with pastrami and corned beef, on rye bread with mustard and a half-sour pickle.

Really? I live way down south here and every San Ei takes dollars....well everything but coin and $100.00 bills.

Which San Ei?

[Trail]

Cow's tongue is one of the New York deli cholesterol triad, along with pastrami and corned beef, on rye bread with mustard and a half-sour pickle.

I'm not sure where pickled cow's tongue originated but it must be German or Irish to be a family favorite for us. I could never eat it. :barf:

I LOVE corned beef though. I was sad I couldn't cook up my traditional brisket for St.Pat's this year.

Love the stuff mmmmm Nakami...... Italians in my family call it tripe, don't remember quite how they prepared it, but not in soup like here. I wouldn't eat it as a kid.......

I don't care for Natto, keep forcing myself to try and like it. I've had it like 6 times now.

Anything else food wise, is great and I love it.

Isnt tripe from cows stomachs?

Nakami is the intestines of the pig.

[Jazz]

Ok thanks, I thought it was the same, maybe similar?

[Jazz]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripe

Guess it's also from pigs, and does look quite similar.......

[socalheart]

EW! I agree with about everything y'all have mentioned, except for bananas, cheese and bread. I haven't had crawdad/fish yet, but since I'm allergic to the iodine in shrimp... eh.

I will also add that I strongly dislike brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, ALL beans, ALL mushrooms, tomatoes, cabbage... are we noticing a trend here? I don't like most vegetables. I also strongly dislike liver, brain, random internal organs and visible bits from any animal. I don't have to eat it to know that much.

I'm sure that I can come up with more, but those are all that come to mind right now. :D

Well the only thing that isnt eaten from pigs here in Okinawa is the squeal.

My Dad was the kind of guy that if you ever told Mom that you hated something he would make us eat triple of the food in question. :crying:

But it did help with getting accustomed to eating all types of foods. One that was a bit disgusting at first, but rather tasty was czarnina. There is a dish in Vietnam called Tiết canh that is similar. Any guesses?

GOYA. Yes, I know it's good for you...but the bitterness is pure insanity...like eating concrete! Also pig feet...what is the viscous fluid that the pig feet sit in that jar that Grandma likes to keep it in? That jar has been around since I was 12! Chitterlings are also a major turn-off for me, as well as any tails-ox tails, pig tails, etc. And that DAMN government powdered "milk"!

[shoopdawoop]

Lamb - I don't like the weird aftertaste. Its odd because I am as carnivorous as it gets.
Tomato (Uncooked) - Can't stand it in my sandwiches and burgers. But I do love katsup.

I don't think I have tried Calf Liver.

[Trail]

I don't think I have tried Calf Liver.

I don't recommend it. :barf: Maybe there is another way to cook it but I can't get past the smell of it even cooking. When I was much older, I would leave the house for 2-3 days to let the smell air out before I came back home if my mom made it. Blah, just the thought of it gets me dry heaving.... :scared: :crying: :scared:

[Tony Stacks]

Chitlins, pigs feet, caviar

[BleuEneG]

i dont like aritchokes and I don't get why anybody does. Seems like a lot of work to go through for a little bit of food that doesnt even taste that good to begin with.

The same can be said of crab and lobster still in it's shell. It hurts to break open and just to get a little meat? Pointless to me.

[Muku]

I don't think I have tried Calf Liver.
Raw liver is pretty good especially when dipped into a sauce of soy and a bit of sesame oil, and with a pinch of sea salt.

Or with a soy sauce and green garlic paste sauce. Yummy!

Great for people that are iron deficient, clears it up in a couple of slices, but the taste is very rich and I find it hard to eat more than three or four slices.

[P_chan]

My wife eats raw liver (or row river:D) but I can't stand the stuff!

[badkitty]

I can't stand beans anymore. Pregnancy thing, ate them once at the wrong time and got sick, haven't eaten them since. it's been 4 years. Corned beef, brains of any kind, didn't like it in France not gonna like them anywhere and Doritos, gross.

Raw turnups are good fresh out of the ground, peel and eat...yum. I hate them cooked, cant stand the smell, and it looks like a potato, but sure as hell doesnt taste like one.

I hate liver...prepared any way. I cant stand the smell or the texture.

Beets, I cant stand the smell or taste, but I know they are supposedly good for you.

Chicken gizzards...good fried and in gumbo
Okra, one word: Succotash

Ive never eaten "hog maws" but chittlins and tripe...man with hot sauce and some white vinegar...shiiiiiiid...id slap somebody. But yea, they do smell AWFUL when cooking...

Crawfish...man so many ways, my favorite is boiled. A delacacy(sp) would be crawfish bisque...but it has to be the kind with the meat stuffed in the heads. I havent had any that was good since my grandfather died...man he used to make it good...

Mebbe I am biased because I love regular tofu, and the stinky tofu (”とh付与)　I buy is made by a couple of beautiful Okinawan sisters.... but that stuff is meant to be eaten in tiny bites washed down with awamori. It tastes very much like blue cheese.

[Big-Kokujin]

trust me...it was much bigger than tiny bites. he ate in on a sandwich, or should I say attempted to eat it. it was probably a 2.5-3 inch square...

[badkitty]

To add to the list.. I don't like Liver, not a huge fan to tomatoes, crutons, ice cream (but i will eat in on occasion), chips, chitlins, chicken cacciatore, hamburgers, and nachos, jalapeños.

[Son Kokujin]

Chitterlings, aka nakasumi, Rocky Mountain Oysters, Just regular Oysters, Pig's feet aka tebichi, goya, Hog fries (Pig's Oysters), coconut, natto.

Stinky tofu is actually tofu that has been aged in awamori and miso and is considered a delicacy. It has the texture of wine cheese and to me a similar flavor as well. Stuff is not cheap either, goes great with karasu, a small salted fish. The salt flavoring with awamori and tofu....Mmmmmm:thumbup::first:

[日本 りより]

Yeah I tried the little red stinky tofu once. Can't remember the name. They serve it with a toothpick as it's meant to be eaten very little bit at a time. I ate most of it and washed it down with Awamori. I only had it that once and thought it was too strong tasting. Sounds like it might be good with the salty fish mentioned above by Muku and a glass of Tatsu or Chatan Choro (or your fav Awamori).

[kombu_kid]

Damn, I must be a human garbage disposal 'cuz all I hate (that I can recall) is liver. I'm probably don't come in contact with enough weird stuff to hate. Oh, and the first time I tried raw fish, my throat muscles refused to swallow it.....that was weird. I think it was the texture of it.

I'm sure that some of the more strange things that ya'll have mentioned would gross me out.

[日本 りより]

I haven't tried it but I'd say the only thing I can't or just wouldn't eat is feces. I guess seal feces mixed with blubber is a delicacy for Eskimoes. Other than feces I love ALL food if prepared right. Well, I don't love Natto but I can eat it.

[Trail]

Oh, and the first time I tried raw fish, my throat muscles refused to swallow it.....that was weird. I think it was the texture of it.

KK, same thing happened to me and still does on occasion. I am a sushi light weight due to the texture factor. I'll eat myself sick on rolls but some sashimi and sushi refuses to go down without a fight. I ate piece of tuna that had to be a 1"x2" piece of o-toro sashimi and I about lost it trying to eat it. Too much meat to be chewing on without rice IMO. It was a very generous piece of meat though. It was rough going trying to be polite and gag it down.

For the most part I am not a picky eater but I think everyone has things they can't "stomach" so to say. I retry things I dislike all the time to see if anything changed but for the most part, the same foods I disliked 5 years ago are still disliked to this day.

[CaptainMcLusty]

I have a big list of things I refuse to eat....

-Eggs(no matter how they are cooked...I hate them...this includes french toast, and fried rice....)
-Mushrooms
-Natto(it tastes like death)
-Brussel Sprouts
-Anything with Soy Sauce, Terriyake(sp) Sauce, Yakitori Sauce....basically, any salty brown sauce......Yuck.
-Animal fat.....I hate when I see a huge chunk of fat in my Coco's Curry or something....its disgusting. I've noticed that in America, most resturants focus on lean chicken breast or all white meat or something, and here in Japan, you dont even know what part of the chicken it is....Example: Hokka Hokka Tei's Chicken Balls....EW

Anything else, I will totally tear apart....

-Natto(it tastes like death)


LMAO, the line "natto taste like death" is funny. :w00t:

Liver - any edible internal organ really makes me want to vomit, heart, kidneys etc..
Oysters - I don't care what anyone says they look like a big loogie and smell revolting.

The chicken karaage at HokkaBen is made with chicken thigh meat. Never heard of a chicken with balls before, must be the size of peanuts.:eek:

I only eat plain hamburgers and french fries, everything else is just so weird.

I know what you are saying it's just that when I first read this my thought was then you must be a vegetarian because I have never in my life seen any external meat besides what hangs between my legs, and that is not for sale.

However it is for rent\:-)

Everything is good except hominy (does not include hominy grits). I will eat anything you put in front of me though I do get picky about how it is prepared, like rice that is undercooked (bad texture) or steak that isn't bleeding (usually too tough).

So, you'll eat feces, huh.

When I read this it reminded me of a story my Dad told me from an experience he had during WWII in Persia.

He related how the kids in town used to run after the cows that were shitting as they walked down the street, their goal was to pick out the undigested bits of corn that were intermixed with the feces and then wash them, let them dry out, mill them to make flour and then bread.

That is how they survived, and when they were particularly lucky they made extra bread that they could sell for money.:eek:

Gizzards. Again, they are disgusting.

I'm game for chicken or turkey liver but that's it. I hate beef or pork liver. I've actually been craving liver pate or deep fried chicken livers. There's no sense in me making either one since I would be the only one eating it.

I have yet to understand why the Japanese like to grill the keel bone (chicken breast cartilage) yakitori style here.

[SnaFu]

Anything thats healthy...

[dk]

Won't go anywhere near natto... Not even going to give it a chance.

Also don't like those tiny little fish Japanese throw on their food. I don't mind fish. Just not those...

[Sex Wax]

I'm not a big fan of Tarter Sauce. And I love Garlic, but alot of it tends to give me nightmares of porcupine gremlins running all over my body.

[Sex Wax]

Oh...almost forgot.....CoCo's sucks sweaty donkey balls.

[SnaFu]

Oh...almost forgot.....CoCo's sucks sweaty donkey balls.

Is CoCo's considered a food or laxative?
