Foods we Despise
« on: April 08, 2013, 02:01:25 PM »
Was walking through the deli/prepared part of Walmart and there was a cooler of ready salads there.  One of them was a "seafood salad."  It had huge chunks of that fake "krab."  You know, chunks of processed pollack or whatever with red food coloring added to it.   Is this the most disgusting stuff, or what? 

I inadvertently ate a bite of it once, when I ordered a crab quiche.  Bit into it, and it was this fake "crab" crap.  I'm not one to send stuff back, but boy did I that time.  Scolded them too.  You can't call that crab on a menu.  Yuck!

Off the top of my head?  PEAS . . . .  :panic:

Also, when I was a little kid, and my brothers were still in the house (well, 2 of them were), my mom cooked an entire cow's tongue and brought it out on a plate just as it was -- not sliced up or garnished or disguised in any way.  I can remember looking at it in horror as my brothers started making all kind of disgusting noises with their tongues (they were in their teens and early 20s) :tongue:

Needless to say, I did NOT have any tongue

not big on lima beans either.

And I despise Bluefish -- too strong and oily for me, although I like 95% of other seafood.

Chris's link up there takes you to a recipe for mushy peas.  You are allowed to write a review for it.   :naughty:


Now spinach, I kind of like sauteed in butter and garlic.  It's good with salmon and mashed potates. 

Sweet potatoes.  Don't like em, and they seem to be all the rage now. 

Fried Mozzarella sticks.  These are popular, too, and I don't get it.  Really pretty flavorless.

I like peas. Tongue, when properly prepared and sliced, is good for sandwiches like luncheon meat. I also love sweetbreads scrambled with eggs, and Rocky Mountain Oysters - not to mention raw oysters on the half shell.  

But hot, stewed tomatoes......

Mom would make succotash and I would try to hide all the lima beans somewhere and just eat the corn.  :-)

Usually it didn't work   :bawl:

I hate cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and there are some other things I hate. I just can't say them since they're too controversial.

Yup.

Add Brussels sprouts to that shitheap aka "vegetable".

You have to hold a gun to my head to get me to eat fish. Not crazy about fresh fish as it is, but then you let it sit for a week and then try to get me to eat it and I'll puke it right back in your lap.

Bugs? Like lobster, crab, scallops, mussels, squid, crawdads?  :rotf: Not just "No," but "HELL NO!"

Peas? Good to go. Broccoli? Preferably raw, yepper. Cauliflower, same thing.

For the most part, once you start cooking vegetables, it's game over, buddy. Pack up your shit - you're outta here.

I love steamed and mashed up cauliflower, made just like mashed potatoes.  I ate a lot of that when I was doing the Atkins thing.  Butter, sour cream (or regular cream), salt and pepper and then run through the food processor . . . good stuff!

I love the Tyson's Crispy Chicken Strips (frozen). Pop them in the microwave for a minute or two and then in the toaster oven -- really good!
