anther good topic warhawk.


i like my seafood battered and fried. ha ha  as far as others, wow, i really don't know. i will try almost anything once but usually if it is prepaed correctly, i will try it again. as a kid i ate frog-legs, but i can't stomach them now. ramen noodles are that way too. i may have to give this one some thought and find others.

I'm not a picky eater. Liver (and other organs in general), eggplant and Brussels sprouts are the only foods I can think of that I actively dislike.

And I love sushi.

Gravy (is that a food??).  Not big on sea food other than shrimp and catfish.

Jello.  You can dress it up with fruit, whip cream, whatever....I  still can't do it.   

Regretably for my weight control issues, I will eat ANYTHING with the sole exception of poorly prepared or preprocessed and canned food--and that generally means overcooked anything, well done steaks, chops, etc.  Steaks in the words of one gourmond, should be passed through a hot kitchen by a slow butler.  If the steak is then topped w/ bearnaise sauce or blue cheese--so much the better.  If there's a great sauce on food, and it's nicely presented, for your own safety do not get between me and that plate!

I love sushi, raw herring--Dutch style, even that object of disgust lutefisk (a Scandanavian oddity--dry cod cured in of all things lye!).  Kidneys, liver, sweetbreads, and brains--when you could get those, tripe, yes, I will eat anything--but again I do insist that it be properly prepared.  I also eat the more ordinary fare-hamburgers, Popeye's chicken--spicy, pizza, mac and cheeze--but not the packaged glue and also prefer to stay away from fast food joints, except Popeye's, because the food is rarely properly prepared.

Tripe, chitlins, sushi off the top of my head.

Grits... Can't stand 'em.  I think it's the texture and the taste.
