    Boiled okra..... my parents always said that I had to at least try a food as a kid and if I didn't like it, then I didn't have to eat it....well, I tried that and have never been near it since!!!

    * anchovies (II once bought a little jar and was going to mash them like the recipe said, i looked at it and it looks like a centipede ew).
    * tongue. i used to eat it, but then my brother (who wanted to have more for himself ) would sit there and stick out his tongue and i got so grossed out that haven't touched it since i was little.
    *Heart/brain/lungs of cow - 'nuff said.
    *Okra. slimey...

    I agree instant mashed potatoes :sick:
    But spam?! Oh I love fried spam sandwiches

    I'm not a picky eater so I don't have a long list but I hate poptarts and frozen burritos :noway:

    However, there have been a couple of things: seaweed salad at a grocery store deli (it was horrendous - have since tried it elsewhere and it was more...you know...meh)

    I LOVE seaweed salad! I love gulab jamon and halvah, too.

    DH will be happy to see that okra and brussels sprouts are on so many lists. He won't touch either. He doesn't like the texture of mushrooms, so if he gets any in a dish when we're out to eat, he gives them to me.

    I'm not quite sure.

    It was in Asia, and the meat just didn't quite chew right...

    it's a drink, but, boza, a bittersweet/sour liquid made of fermented yeast and cereal.

    Imagine you got some kind of bug and vomited until you got to bare yellow bile, then rinsed your mouth with water, like 4-5 times. The faint memory of sickly sweet that's left, that's what boza tastes like. The texture is like the stuff that came out on the first heave.
    You win the award for most descriptive post! Making us feel like we've had some too!! :drinker:

    Tuna casserole. My mom used to make it when I was as a kid with horrible canned peas that were nearly yellow and mushy. The whole thing was like lumpy beige slime. Blech. I think the whole experience gave me an aversion to the smell of canned tuna, but I love fresh tuna (raw, cooked, whatever).

    I love every vegetable I can think of but when some of them are overcooked to mush - can't do it.

    And oddly enough, I can understand hating the macaroni and cheese - most of the time that I've had it, it's good, but if the noodles are overcooked, that can be kind of disgusting too. Apparently I'm not a fan of things that are like a monochromatic bowl of slime. Haha.

    Other than that, I actually love the majority of the things posted here - love stuffed grape leaves, love tripe, fried okra, seaweed salad, ginger (candied or not), squid... I don't really want to try balut or various other "Fear Factor" type foods, but other than that I'm not that picky, apparently.

    When I was a kid, a friend of mine rode our bikes out to the country to fish all night and camp. We did forget to take food with us. So we cut a couple of stick and cooked some of our fish bait (chicken livers) over the fire. It was extremely nasty. Have never forgot it.

    as a kid i was sometimes given things to eat like stuffed lambs hearts, liver, pigs feet and kidney......suffice to say i have been vegetarian for almost all of my adult life :sick:

    apart from horrible meats, one thing that has made me heave is prune juice. the doc suggested it when i was pregnant and having a bit of 'trouble' but jeez, i couldn't drink the revolting stuff, even after trying to disguise it with other things.

    King crab legs. I know, I know, what's wrong with me, right? It was like chewing on rubber dipped in sea salt. It took everything in me not to throw it up. Never again.
