Just made schit load of hard boiled eggs. Half of em had blood spots in em Just cant eat that schit.....that and ricotta cheese, those two get me every time.
I'll eat lutefisk twice a week but the bad ones for me are liver and sweet potatoes (yams). There are others that I may not care for but those are the only two bad ones.
Nong Waa afterbirth from a cow or buffalo boiled with spices. My wife loves it. When she cooks it, it will wake you from a dead sleep barfing. My buds just love bringing it to her in calfing season. F-----s
I lived four years in the Philippines and ate everything available, including balut. Full disclosure: I never got up the stomach to eat a balut until the last few months I was there.
Never could stomach liver until a buddy told me it was because people over-cook it. He was right. Cook it up in some bacon grease with some onion, cook it until its just nice and pink inside, a whole different thing.
Balut, lutefisk, muktuk, McDonalds...I hate them all.
Everything else goes down a bit too well.
I especially like kidney beans and all others, cantaloup, califlower, Brussels sprouts, organ meats with liver my favorite, sushi, all cheeses, beets, canned peas...and on and on...
Washed down with tequila or Scotch, it's all good.

Fresh venison liver with onions cooked in bacon grease is actually good .........

It's my favorite! I hate that we get a resident NV tag of any kind about every three years. The liver is the first thing we eat.
any kind of cooked brains, sushi. In Africa the Natives eat the insides of the insides. Put it in a pot and heat it to simmer and eat. That would make a maggot gagg.
It's easier for me to list what I do eat - meat, fish, and potatoes. I'll eat most all of the veggies but lima beans gag me. As to the exotics, head cheese, organs, balut, lufka ... not going to happen.
LOVE me some muskmelon!!! (cantaloupe sucks cause that's what CA calls it ! lol .) I have no use for sushi... I can gag on warm "drinking water" ...nasty
I've actually been trying hard to think of something I've seen I would flat-out just not eat, and other than balut couldn't think of one, until I remembered seeing cod sperm for sale at Tsukiji market in Tokyo. I don't care how good it might taste. I'll never know. Fish roe, OTOH, I really like. Go figure.
Before I'll cook eggs I check to see if it's been fertilized and if so separate and remove the sperm. No way, and like you said, nothing wrong with an egg.
Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus. I was force-fed both as a toddler and will start gagging at just the smell of them.

My brother and I were never force fed anything by my folks, but my old man insisted that my brother and I at least try everything once. If we didn't like it, he'd never make us eat it again, but we were instilled with the idea that not everything that tastes good necessarily looks good, and that things that are different than what you're used to are just that--different, and not necessarily bad, and that one couldn't base an opinion on something like food before trying it first.
The other thing is, as a person ages, their taste buds change, I think. Take uni (the edible portion of sea urchin colloquially called roe, but it is not), for example. As a kid in Tokyo for the first time, I tried it and literally spat it out; couldn't bring myself to even swallow it. Even the thought of it made me sick, and this from a guy that'd give a billy goat a run for his money at an eating contest. For many years I'd kill huge amounts of sushi and sashimi, but always turned my nose up and passed on the uni. FF some 20 years, and tried it again with my to-be-wife's insistence, and lo, I loved it. A few different things over the years I've found the same thing with (mostly all Asian, and specifically Japanese foods).
My folks had the same rules. It was a day-care worker who did that to me while my Mom was recovering from having my younger brother.
I now eat things that I wouldn't touch when I was younger. I love sashimi, most sushi, fresh caviar, stinky cheeses, home made blood sausage, and I've eaten fresh bowhead blubber, dried fish dipped in seal oil, and some things I couldn't identify.
I can't eat bell peppers in any fashion anymore, nor foods cooked with them, as I have become allergic to them, but that and the other two listed above is the extent of my limits.
Grew up poor but we didn't know we were. Ate a lot of things a lot of people would turn their nose up at. Not much got wasted. Nothing food wise makes my stomach turn, but some I have tried and will pass on. Lutefisk is one. We had it at Christmas as my grandfather liked it. Still like head cheese, pickled pigs feet, liver sausage, etc. Heck we ate a lot of carp and bullheads when I was a kid. I will admit I would have to be pretty darn hungry to eat balut.
I'm one of those who'll try about anything once, and really haven't found anything I can't eat, though might prefer something else. About the only thing i really hate is canned peas. Why ruin peas by canning them?
Still remember a caribou hunt where my partner, for some reason, bought some canned peas at the local store on the way to camp. A couple of the Inuit guides tried 'em, and immediately spit them out. They were eating raw caribou meat, with plenty of the fat attached. (Had my own first taste of whale blubber on that trip, and found it pretty bland. But it hadn't been aged like many Inuits prefer.)
Hated liver until 20 when I first had fresh pronghorn liver. Still prefer fresh game liver to any domestic variety, except maybe chicken liver. Hated tomatoes, beets, asparagus, Brussels sprouts and butter when I was a kid, but like 'em all now. Don't care for the texture of boiled okra, but like it fried or pickled.
Our tastes do change as we get older, partly because recent studies have shown that trying anything 10 times or so apparently modifies our reaction somehow. Of course, those 10 times might be too many to, uh, stomach.
Best tamales I ever ate were made by the ranch foreman's wife on a ranch in Mexico. I had killed a young javalina, and the ranch hand convinced me to take it in for her to make tamales out of. I was glad I did.
I like most of the foods that have been mentioned on this thread,but I've never heard of lutefisk..Both my Grandmothers canned everything,and I loved my maternal Grandmothers pickled corn.She canned it in jars,but I never would even try my paternal Grandmothers.She pickled it on the cob in these great big crocks,and always had the corn weighted down with a flat rock.My Father,and Uncles loved it,and I realize now that it probably was good,I kinda wish now I would have tried it.
Liver from any mammal or bird, or any dark-meated bird (especially doves) that tastes like liver, makes me gag. The smell of it cooking when I walk into a home makes me want to run away.
I've been in too many camps where someone has tried to get me to taste deer or elk liver that he has cooked. When he says, "You haven't tasted MY liver," I tell him he better hopes I never do.
I don't like the taste of salmon or trout, but I can force it down. Allowing the slimy oil from a cucumber to touch the other ingredients is the fastest way to ruin a salad, in my humble opinion.
Off-hand, I can't think of anything I absolutely will not eat, and will try anything once. I had lutefisk for the first time last year (I'm of Norwegian descent) and liked it. In fact, the annual Sons of Norway Lutefisk Dinner is next month and I plan on attending again.
Offal isn't at all awful - I haven't had sweetbreads or brains but they're on the short list of edibles to try. Bull fries? Had 'em and would eat them again. Tripe? I love a good bowl of menudo or pho. I haven't had balut - it looks nasty, but I'll have to try it before I make the final judgement.
any peppers ,red green yellow stomach can't stomach them cottage cheese,mayo,horseradish, heavy curry don't eat liver anymore, nothing pickled,cooked cabbage family. probably lots more.
How does that not kill you? I would think instant food poisoning or something. Wonder what ever possessed someone to think about trying it? Not a chance in hell would I eat that. Never had lutefisk but not much really turns my stomach. Sweet and sour sauce is close. Actually most oriental sauces are pretty nasty, come to think of it.
My wife/kids love seafood. I have tried to find something I like. A few years ago I spent 5 days in the heart of the Cockscomb basin Jaguar Preserve Belize (120,000 acres)on a research trip. I had to eat whatever our cooks prepared which was a lot of seafood. Grilled grouper was tolerable. I stomached a lot of refried beans and johnnie cakes that week.
Balut isn't so bad if you can get past the texture of the feet and beak. I really can't think of a food in the US that I find totally repulsive. The ones I don't care for, I mainly don't like because of the texture.
I once at a raw octopus tentacle and it nearly choked me. It sucked onto the back of my throat, and I couldn't swallow it or cough it up. I finally got it down after chugged a couple of beers.
I'll pretty much eat anything, but one thing I'd refuse to put in my mouth would be hakarl from Iceland.
Still like head cheese, pickled pigs feet, liver sausage
Three of my absolute favorites
Nope, no and nope. The above are 3 foods that while I haven't tried, I can unequivocally say NO to!
That's okay, chicken and dumplings for supper, baked butternut squash, and double chocolate cake. Daughter Maggie's birthday dinner, so her favorites on the menu tonight.

This I don't understand. Grouper is the best saltwater fish EVER.
Was a hunting show that a big amazon-looking blonde gal starred in. Her big thing was hunting everything and eating it along with whatever the local fare was.
I seem to remember her eating a boiled egg that had been aged and pickled in horse urine. She took a big bite and explained it tasted just like a rotting egg soaked in horse piss. Can't remember what is was called, but I wouldn't try it. Made me gag a little just watching it.
I've tried a bunch of weird stuff, grubs, bugs & such. I've never had balut and won't. I don't like the texture of flan and won't eat it, even to be courteous.
Dad never made me eat anything. What was for supper is what was for supper. I didn't have to eat it but I wasn't getting anything else.
To this day I'm the least picky eater I know.
I was raised the same way. There are some things I don't care for that my wife cooks, but I'll never complain. I'll either eat it anyway or not. There will be another meal tomorrow.
The only thing I simply won't eat, at least that I've tried, is boiled cabbage. If given a steady diet of it I'd probably just starve to death.
Any type insect or worm, anything in a stage of rottenness, anything having passed through and out of a digestive system, having been previously eaten by something or someone else.
That narrows it down a bit... that along with brussel sprouts.
I just thought of another one. In Vietnam, I was a Loadmaster on C-130's. We were on a trash hauling mission one day, and part of it was resupplying South Korean troops. It's hard to believe, but we were picking up a SECOND load (35,000 pounds each !!) of canned "Fish Heads and Rice in Red Sauce" to be delivered to their base.
My curiosity got the best of me, and I decided (while in flight) to open a can and see what the hell we were hauling that the Koreans obviously ate a ton of (actually, a heck of a lot more than that). I whipped out my trusty p38 on my dog tag chain, grabbed a can off of a pallet, and commenced to open it.
Now you know that saying "Don't get any water on it, and Never, never ever feed it after midnight" ? Well I can add a 3rd part to that... NEVER open a can of Korean "Fish Heads and Rice" while in flight without at least one paratroop door open to throw it out of" Holy Jeebus Mamma... Instantly the crew up in the cockpit started bitching "What the hell is that stink?" I felt like I had a grenade in my hand, pin pulled, and nowhere to throw it. I caught hell for the rest of the day, it was like trying to get a road kill smell out of your car, when a cat died on your exhaust manifold.
fresh tomatoes, not sure why......parents didnt have alot of money when i was younger and grew a large garden every year to add tot eh diet, dad has grown tomatoes for aslong as i can remember and i cant stand them or even really choke them down. odd thing is i dont mind things like spaghetti or such, not my favorite dinner but i have no problem eating it.

In some far off foreign lands you would starve to death with that list of NOT eats

You should try some of the chocolate covered peanuts that my Grandson ate all the chocolate off of, and then returned to the candy dish...
I'll eat lutefisk twice a week but the bad ones for me are liver and sweet potatoes (yams). There are others that I may not care for but those are the only two bad ones.
Brussels Sprouts. The absolute nastiest vegetable on the planet.
I don't eat offal. I can afford the better parts of the animal. I don't care what Zimmern says he likes.
Or as I refer to them, Satan's testicles.
I hate those things with a passion. Anything you can saute with butter and garlic then wrap in bacon and is still foul tasting just isn't fit for human consumption.
I've never tried Balut, just can't get over the thought of it.
I generally like trying exotic foreign foods, or local traditional dishes so my list of won't eat is fairly small.
I'll eat most anything. A few things like lima beans I'm not found of. Only two things come to mind that are awful. Sea Cumber (previously mentioned) and the other I'm very surprised nobody mentioned FRUITCAKE.
We had the same rule growing up, you ate what was put on the table or went hungry till the next meal. If you did not clean your plate you did not get dessert. Was forced to eat brussel sprouts, wax beans both of which are nasty, can't even stand the smell of the water brussel sprouts have been prepared in. Okra looks and smells nasty too. I was talked into eating mountain lion on a hunting trip once, I really liked it.
Spam and any type of liver. I travel a lot and some strange stuff, most of it is at least edible. Korea and Malaysia were the only places I was not a fan of most of the local grub.
And I have to be pretty hungry before I'll eat meatloaf or bierocks.
Strangely enough though, I like liver....especially liver & onions & bacon....and Brussels sprouts. In the early 70's I made an overland trip from Luxembourg to Nepal.....and I really have no idea what most of the stuff was that I ate along the way....but I liked the majority of it....especially in Turkey. There was a considerable amount of mystery food in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nepal.....almost all street food or local restaurants where you just go in the kitchen and point at stuff that looks non-threatening. Whatever they had in India was just too damn hot to eat....and I grew up on Tex-Mex food.
I grew up eating stuff that would make a goat puke, have been all around the world, but the only thing that turns my guts is French onion soup. My wife and daughters love it.
Carp on the other hand I've never tried and won't eat.
Never had it smoked?? PM me your address and I will send a couple of smoked carp sides. All kidding aside most of Asia lives on carp and the worst part is having old bugle lips head staring at you from a bowl of rice
Pickled beets. Forced to eat them as a kid and can't even stand the smell of them.
Olives. Don't know why. Used to love them. Now, I just have completely lost all taste for them.
One of my twin boys loves it when I put olib's in my beer, I bought the garlic stuffed green olives, he at the olive, but just swallowed the garlic.........found it a few hours later......still smelled like garlic.
Just cant eat that schit.....that and ricotta cheese, those two get me every time.
My ole man was the same way.
The Mongols loved it.![[Linked Image]](http://www.gonnawantseconds.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/American-Goulash-0842-770x460.jpg)
