I don't even eat meat, but I am curious about those that refuse to eat 'meat w/the bone'. Why is this?
I consume very limited quantities of meat to begin with, only having chicken/turkey breast, tuna in water, shrimp, or salmon every so often, but I have a personal distaste for bone-in meat ---- there's no reason for my deterrence other than the simple and seemingly silly reason that it "just bothers me". I drink bone broth -- so it's not the bone in and of itself that appalls me.
I wish I had a legitimate reason for not liking bone-in meat, but I can only trace it back to my childlike preferences. When I was a young child and had the rare chicken wing or drumstick, I remember only taking a few bites off the exterior and leaving at least a few inches of flesh surrounding the bone because I knew the bone was underneath it all and didn't want to get to close to it.
Mom and Dad used to get a bit frustrated with me for being so picky and wasting the edible meat that was plenty far from the bone. Perhaps for that reason, they'd tilt their head a bit and really ponder their answer when I'd ask if we could get those "wing zings" from the poultry market.
WOW we are so similar!! I always got yelled at for wasting all the meat on chicken wings as a kid. That is EXACTLY what I did too. I also don't eat much meat. Most days the only meat I have is 1-2 slices sandwich turkey. Chicken maybe once every few weeks.
@VegjoyP I don't eat much of it so it would be easy to cut out, but every now and then I really enjoy chicken nuggets or chicken on the grill.
I am an odd one. I love chicken liver pate and liverwurst. My favorite sandwich growing up was liverwurst and miracle whip on white bread. My mom would add onions to her's but I wasn't much of a fan of that.
However, I HATE beef liver and chicken livers when they are not in a pate. My ex's mom made a chicken liver casserole with wild rice. I thought I would love it but the first time I had it I could not stand biting into that mushy chicken liver. I guess as a pate I expect that texture but otherwise I don't really like it.
Me too! I don't like any toppings on my salad. Stale, hard bread doesn't add anything besides calories. If I want bread with my salad I'd rather have a nice slice on the side.

@Noreenmarie1234 you don't like ANY toppings? What do you put on or in it?? I'm all about the toppings!

I mean like bread toppings like won tons, croutons, tortilla strips, nuts etc. I pile them up with veggie toppings!!

Brussel sprouts.. Ive tried lots of ways to eat them.. nope, I just don't like them.
Baby ones are slightly more palatable.. but still a no
one of my favorite vegetables!
I try them every so often because I know tastes change over time, .. I never ate tomato till I was 30 and love it now 😁
I've not enjoyed them yet... maybe someday.
Kangaroo.. 🤢
I have heard kangaroo is awful... dry???
I find it really gamey /strong. I was told you have to cook it with strong flavours and its very easy to overcook.
I've tried the sausages and steak.. yuck

Mushrooms remind me of snails, which I use to eat all the time as a kid but not so much of as I got older.
