What specific food (dish) do you find most intolerable/nauseating?
Edited on Tue May-22-07 08:56 AM by Matsubara
For me, it has to be the Mexican tripe soup, menudo, with anything involving LIVER being a close second.

2. Oh my. You can't beat tripe. In Brazil it's called dobradinha, and it's a stew instead. BLEH!
On the other hand, I seriously enjoy liver. Fried chicken liver especially. Yum!

43. That was hilarious.
My wife and kids LOVE natto. I'm the only one in the family that hates it.

A couple of other gross Japanese foods: live shrimp that you have to break the shell and eat while they squirm down your throat.

monja-yaki. The best description I can provide is a pool of pan-fried throwup, but here is a description I found on-line:

http://www.yongfook.com/2005/09/16/i-love-the-smell-of-napalm-in-general/

Monjayaki is for me a perfect example of trying slightly too hard to create something unique. It is a dish that has either evolved or devolved (depending on your viewpoint) from Okonomiyaki, which is a popular type of thick, savoury Japanese pancake-mix, mixed with cabbage, meat and other things, cooked on an iron hotplate and eaten nationwide. Monjayaki is almost exactly the same as that, except someone suggested - probably as a humourous joke that everyone else took too seriously after which the person who made the initial joke simply shrugged his shoulders and went back to rubbing manure on his penis - that the recipe would be greatly improved by the addition of about a litre of water.

Effectively then, Monjayaki is fried soup. Trying to understand even the basic physics of how that might work has made generations of people go completely insane and it is clear to me that - judging by the way Monjayaki is served - most people still don’t know.

14. Applesauce
Only because when I was an unwell little MorningGlow, my mom used to crush a Bufferin between two spoons, then cover it in applesauce. The only problem was she didn't MIX the Bufferin with the applesauce, so the applesauce would go down untainted, followed by the chalky substance stuck to the bowl of the spoon. Which, of course, made me :puke:. Still can't eat applesauce to this day--my tastebuds are convinced there's some bitter powdered aspirin lurking in there somewhere. And when I try to eat it, I actually can taste the aspirin, like a phantom flavor. Amazing what the human mind is capable of.

34. Same thing with me except it's jelly and honey
My mom used to crush up whatever pills I had to take when I was sick as a youngster. She would use jam or honey like your mom used applesauce. Even as a 40 yr. old, I can't eat any of that stuff. My husband gets the pleasure of dealing with honey for my kids. I take one whiff of it and I instantly get nauseated!

31. Liver, brussels sprouts, cooked turnips, anything liquorice flavoured.
Other stuff I don't like, but which doesn't make me immediately hurl:

Creamed corn. It looks like vomit.
Oysters. They look and taste like a big ball of phlegm you hork up when you have a cold.
Baked beans. I'd make a piss-poor cowboy.
Canned pasta. It tastes sour after soaking in the tomato sauce.
Beef stew. My mom used to throw meat, potatoes, peas, and carrots into a pot with a lot of water and boil the shit out of it for two hours; then she'd add the secret ingredient -- turnips -- which made everything taste like turnips (see above).
Cooked cabbage. It tastes skunky and makes me fart, though I can have cabbage raw in cole slaw or partly fermented in sauerkraut and it's not so bad then.
Coffee -- vile, black, bitter hot water, but then I have practically no sense of smell so I'm probably missing the best part.
Hard liquor, especially scotch. I have no idea why anyone who isn't a termite would enjoy something that tastes "oaky". And I also hated the one martini I ever tasted, even though it was made by someone who was regarded as an expert martini maker.

If you ever invite me over and any of these things are on the menu, I'll just have a glass of water, thanks.

44. I'm with you on the hard liquor
My parents were of the generation who were young adults in the late 50s & early 60s, when the 6 o'clock martini was the thing, and even having a drink during work at the office was not all that odd. In fact, as far as I can tell, their generation's entire social structure revolved around the consumption of alcohol.

My dad's big thing was bourbon & seven, mom's was Manhattans. You can take them all and flush them down the commode. Give me a glass of wine or some beer but keep that foul shit away from me.

And how miserable must those homeless guys be to drink rotgut like "night train"? It amazes me that people can actually get PLEASURE from drinking what tastes like Lysol floor cleaner.

32. Head cheese


Definition: Not a cheese at all, but a sausage made from the meaty bits of the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow) that are seasoned, combined with a gelatinous meat broth and cooked in a mold. When cool, the sausage is unmolded and thinly sliced. It's usually eaten at room temperature. Head cheese can be purchased in delicatessens and many supermarkets. In England this sausage is referred to as brawn, and in France it's called fromage de tête--"cheese of head."
