folks turning their noses up to some good eats!


lamb??  awesome if done right..  mutton's even good if you find someone really knows how to cook it.  Australia, NZ or American mutton all tastes differently too.

I'll try anything (insert disclaimer) and typically eat everything that's put in front of me.

Except eggplant.  Just the thought causes the urge for my stomach content to increase in elevation. 
I have had it served clearly recognizable and heavily masqueraded as something looking extremely tasty.  I can always smell an eggplant rat.

I can agree with the hummus.  But my taste buds and I can not understand how anyone can get their throat to accept a pickled beet far enough to swallow.  I can force down bread and butter pickles.  Even make an effort at dark sweet pickles, suffer through roll mop and all the Russian pickled fish.  But I can not raise the desire high enough to swallow those purple pieces of pickled horror.  Just can not do it!  And to ruin a perfectly good hard boiled unfertilized chicken embryo with that purple juice of horror is grounds for a witch burning!

Well, to be fair eggplant is totally a chick food - right up there with quiche

I consider myself a pretty good cook.  However, when I am cooking egg plant I might have to agree with you.  I've never made it as enjoyable table fare.  My mother on the other hand is a horrible cook of most everything.  Burnt is her favored level of doneness, fire alarms are her favored cooking timer, dry her favorite texture and mint her favorite seafood seasoning    But I have to give her kudos for her egg plant lasagna.  I'll take it over any restaurant lasagna I have ever had.  It's pretty dang good!  Maybe the secret is to ramble on about nothing while family hopes death will be short and quick.  All the while forgetting you have food in the oven until the smoke alarms go off.  Then it seems to be just about perfect

 Worst tasting would be my own words ever saying "I agree" to anything Mags says on this forum.

It's got to be oysters for me. Just can't see how anyone can find the slimy critters appealing to eat. Tried them twice just to make sure. Yep I'm sure. Worst thing I ever tried to choke down.

   PERFECT!!!
So 4 years ago me and my 2 hunting buds are on our way back from a Wyoming elk hunt.  Mom and Dad live just east of Missoula so it's a traditional overnight pit stop on the way home for us to throw down a Mom finely prepared meal.  Now mind you, it had been almost 30 years since I was a fixture at Mom and Dad's dinner table. 
We arrive around 3:00, watch the bighorns on the hill out there living room window and have an adult beverage or two with Dad and tell our hunt stories.  One of my buds pipes up and says "damn Mom, dinners smelling good, your spoiling us again."  20 minutes later Mom beckons a dinners ready call.  Naturally it's dead sprint to the dinner table.  The main course makes it around to me - yup - it's eggplant lasagne - direct refernce to my masquerade comment.   
So I look over at Dad and ask, any propane in the barbecue Dad?  Yep, why he barks out.  I'll be right back.  Out to the truck I go and grab the bag of elk tenderloin.  Plopped it down on the counter and whacked off a half dozen slices.  10 minutes later I was back at the dinner table with enough to share for all.  Mom then says you know Dave, I had completely forgotten that you won't eat eggplant but it's really good and you might have acquired a taste for it.  Uh yeah Mom, it's not possible to acquire a taste for eggplant in my book.  The tenderloin was really good wasn't it?

Leaves more for the rest of us.

Had a mouth full of pine needles once....thought I could chew em up for moisture...that didn't taste very good

One cup of mayo in a hot dog bun was also a lose lose situation

I still would eat haggis or lutefisk (had both maaaaany times) over canned peas!

I'm glad I'm not alone in my dislike for canned peas.  I think you might hate them more than me though, but they are pretty disgusting.  I actually like fresh or frozen peas, but canned are just gross.     I also am not crazy about canned green beens, but I can choke them down if I'm hungry enough.

Worse thing I ever ate was antelope (if one bite and spitting it out can be considered eating). 

I actually can't remember if I actually ate lutefisk.  I remember the smell and how it always stunk up my grandparents house at Christmas and I remember my mom trying to get me to try it but it is kind of a blur after that........maybe I'm blocking it out.

Yeah, oysters are pretty gross too.  I actually like the meaty part of oysters, but the rest is just like grouse guts or something..........    If I were to eat oysters, I'd get to eat a small fraction of it and throw the rest out.
