[yvr girl]

I think not.

[Parche]

1. vile

Rhubarb pie!!! now that is vile

Or a bagle, they are tasteless

[progmom]

2. sauerkraut

[yvr girl]

4. you might be right

sauerkraut is not good.

[da_chimperor]

25. You're both dead wrong. It's very good.

See? Now doesn't that just get your mouth watering? :wtf:

[JohnKleeb]

37. it can be good

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

57. It make a good side dish

Goes well with pork hocks.

[bif]

3. Okra, hands down.

[yvr girl]

7. Stop!

You're giving me horrible flashbacks to a trip to California when I was 9.

[Zuni]

30. I like Okra

[Phentex]

52. I'll go with okra too.

ick

[BikeWriter]

5. A rutabaga?

[yvr girl]

I've never even seen one

That bad, eh?

[BikeWriter]

13. They resemble a turnip. I love turnips but I've never...

eaten a rutabaga.

[hfojvt]

28. that was so bad in my childhood

that it was almost mythical.

[BikeWriter]

47. Rutabagas A La Geaghan (Ya gotta read this!)

Recipes
An Irish Classic: Rutabagas A La Geaghan

Peel and cut up 8-10 fresh rutabagas
Boil vigorously 21-25 days or until softened
Soak for 72 hours in 2 gallons of hydrochloric acid Drain and then mash or pulverize into a thick smoldering paste
Add 1/2 cup 2% milk
Add cinnamon, salt and butter to taste
Serve dripping with brown gravy or other sauce to enhance the pungent natural flavor of the rutabagas



Rutaburgers: In the unlikely event of leftovers, mold into thick "rutaburger" patties, bake for 14 hours at 750 degrees in a prewarmed oven and brown on a grill or frying pan. Serve piping hot in a moat of thick gravy.

6. yes

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. How about Shit on a Shingle?

[Taverner]

9. Durien. In the sun. Freshly cut.

<shudder>

[Redstone]

41. It's spelled durian, not durien.

Sorry.

[SoCalDem]

10. O K R A ....furry, and slimy all at the same time

I have never tasted "red celery"

[ghostsofgiants]

11. I used to love rhubarb when I was a kid

We had a patch in our back yard that I would always raid when my parents were working.

[youthere]

12. I like rhubarb...

but I'm with Bif...okra is nasty.

[TK421]

14. Liver and onions, worst taste and smell- bar none

every time I ate this garbage growing up, I thought I was being punished for something:puke:

[yvr girl]

16. My dad makes the best liver

It's gotta be cooked right.

[TK421]

18. I've heard about that before, that its all about how its cooked

I remember biting into it and it tasted like rancid chalk (not that I ever had chalk) Does he marinate it in anything?

[yvr girl]

20. No. He dredges it in flower and spices

Browns it and then simmers it in stewed tomatoes. He adds peppers, onions and garlic.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

59. Don't say that...

and not give any explanation. Let's hear his technique!

One of my unofficial goals in life is to organize a Liver Festival. Would anybody come, I wonder?

[Redstone]

43. I second that. When we were kids, the rule was "Eat what's for dinnner

or go without."

The nights that liver was for dinner, I was only too happy to go to bed hungry.

15. Hey, we like rhubarb

I make a wonderful rhubarb crisp. The secret to rhubarb is sugar. Brown sugar. Add lots and lots of brown sugar.
Rhubarb also makes a delicious (and pretty) sauce for meat, particularly pork.

[WePurrsevere]

34. My DH and I are with you..

we really enjoy rhubard cooked up with sugar as a sauce.

My much loved and now late MIL showed me how to cook it up many years ago shortly after we moved in to take care of her and my now late FIL. We enjoy it plain, over ice cream or as a meat sauce. I'll have to look up the crisp recipe now though, if it's done like a blueberry crisp I'll bet it's wonderful. :)

[stanwyck]

39. You can use your favorite blueberry or apple crisp

recipe. The one I use is from an apple crisp recipe. I buy rhubarb, chop it into little chunks, add sugar, and freeze. I grew up in the Midwest where it was plentiful. But since we've lived in Atlanta, we've found when we've served rhubarb crisp, many people are having rhubarb for the first time. My son and daughter are fans -- particularly when served with ice cream.

[WePurrsevere]

51. Thank you...

I'm definitely going to try it then. :) Hmm.. let's see... Rhubarb Cobbler with a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Ice cream... sounds good to me. :)

Next week I'll have to grab some fresh rhubarb when we go visit my DD. If time wise it's okay we'll also bring the plants back from there and transplant them to our new one. (It's our old house where my DD lives now and she doesn't like rhubarb much.)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

55. I just bought a house...

that has rhubarb growing in the backyard. I've been threatening for years to grow some, but where I used to live (Cincinnati) it was a little warm and the soil apparently isn't amenable to it. I'm thrilled now to have rhubarb available again (I grew up in the upper midwest).

Got a recipe?

[salin]

17. cauliflower

[Minstrel Boy]

19. Someone's fed you misinformation. Or bad rhubarb.

My grandmother made delicious rhubarb pies. No strawberry-rhubarb abomination.

[yvr girl]

21. I've had it several times

And I've never liked it.

[HEyHEY]

22. You know the leaves can kill if in concentrate

[mike_c]

23. more and more I feel at odds with the DU mainstream...

...if such a thing exists. I like both rhubarb and okra.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

56. The list of all the "disgusting" foods in this threads...

reads like something I would order if I were a condemned man getting a last meal. Liver and onions. Rhubarb Crisp. Yum.

[FuzzySlippers]

24. Oh Yivvers. I'm so disappointed in you.

My rhubarb custard pie is sublime.

[yvr girl]

26. I'd be willing to give it a try

But I'm skeptical.

[Bleacher Creature]

27. Olives -- even the smell of them makes me sick.

[hfojvt]

29. what about an elected Republican?

those are very vile. Rhubarb makes a great pie, and the sauce on toast ain't bad either.

[Zuni]

31. onions = vile

If I wanted to taste a nasty armpit, I would lick a nasty armpit

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

32. You've obviously never had fresh homemade "rhubarb crunch"

(as my Aunt Wilma calls it).

Heavenly.

On the other hand, there are gooseberries, which are horrid.

[Blue_In_AK]

33. I was going to say the same...

I've got a recipe for rhubard crunch (rhubard and cherry pie filling) that is to die for.

[Tsiyu]

35. Rhubarb is awesome

Vile? Black olives. Pork rinds. Country ham.

[mr blur]

36. I LOVE rhubarb!

Rhubarb crumble, rhubarb pie, rhubarb yoghurt, rhubarb jam - YUM!

[MrSandman]

38. Rhubarb pie and milk ....

What more could one ask for?

om edit...a copycat thread.:blush:

[Blue Belle]

40. Liverwurst... and liver

Egads.

[jonnyblitz]

42. rhubarb pie is one of my favorites! nt

[Redstone]

44. You have friends in New England? You want to keep them?

Then don't be insulting rhubarb.

Redstone

[blue neen]

45. Lima Bean Soup.

You know, that wallpaper paste stuff? Oh gawd. How horrid.

[shanti]

46. yes, liver

i heave when i smell it cooking. i was forced to eat it occasionally as a child and would never touch it now! :puke:

[u4ic]

48. I take it you've never had headcheese

:puke:

[Technowitch]

49. Haggis, baby

;)

[roguevalley]

50. cooked spinach. Okra too.

[tjwmason]

53. Thems are fighting words yvrs

Rhubarb crumble, rhubarb fool, stewed rhubarb and custard.

These are pure and undiluted heaven.

Now apologise to rhubarb for such a beastly assertion.

[yvr girl]

54. I stand by my earlier decision

vile stuff

[tjwmason]

60. If you weren't such a charming person

I'd probably ask to take this outside.

As it is, I'll assume that you're just ill-informed and that you haven't tasted properly prepared rhubarb.

[Spider Jerusalem]

58. Black pudding...

unless you LIKE eating cooked and congealed blood and fat, I suppose...

[Redneck Socialist]

61. WHAT?! Are you crazy girl?

Rhubarb rocks!

:headbang:
