Tongue and bread pudding are on my "no thanks list".
I need to add tongue to my NO WAY list. My Irish grandmother used to make it and my father wanted my mom to cook it for us but she refused. He cooked it and made us all try it. I was a young teen and after feeling the cow's tastebuds in my mouth and I told them I would not eat anything "that could taste me back." Never had it again!

Insects. Farmed insects are supposed to be the "food of the future" because they're so nutritious and so environmentally friendly. I don't think I'll be able to do it. I'm a pretty adventurous eater, but the thought of toasted mealworms on my salad or a muffin made from roasted cricket flour just grosses me out.0

Seafood. Of any kind. Childhood phobia. Actually my mother's childhood phobia that got passed down. Haha

Why?? sea bugs are so delicious Lol (shrimp, lobster and crabs)0 -
Anything cultured makes me gag or worse so no sour cream or yoghurt. Most kinds of peppers, but especially green and red. I can eat orange and yellow if sautéed to where there is no "bell pepper" taste left. Mushrooms!! Eeeuwwww. Spanish rice. Chop suey. Almost anything oriental or Mexican. Can't tolerate the spices. No sheep meat. No oysters, mussels, or anything slimy from the sea.
I could write a blog on what I don't eat.0 -
There is an unimaginably foul delicacy called Surströmming that I encountered once in my life, about 30 years ago. I would endeavor not to be in the same city if I heard there was a can of it nearby.
The extremely concentrated, fermented über-oceanfish stench cleared out an entire apartment (which was filled with people gathered to witness the opening of the accordion-pleated can of the putrid stuff even hungry dogs won't go near) in waves, as the rotten smell reached more distant rings of spectators. (Graham's Law of Effusion in vivo....)
But that's not the one.
I'd try that in a heartbeat before I'd eat a bag of those vile,
intestine-purging, glucose-spiking Olestra-laden WOW! chips. Bleccch!
