    I used to hate the smell of kidneys - ala steak "n" kidney pie. I never understood why I disliked the smell but proceeded through life without kidneys (other than my own. [naturally])(ahem). But one strange day of hangover I tried steak "n" kidney pie and got over my dislike of smell of the stuff just like I once did with the taste of beer. So I ate said pie (nyom, pie) for some time.

    Now... just a week ago I bought steak exclamation mark exclamation mark n kidney pie and realised just why I disliked the smell of kidney. I had an epiphany, a kidney epiphany, or as they say in the vegetarian world a "Kidniphany". I suddenly realised what that smell was when I was eating the pie. It smelled exactly like old pensioners that don't wash their clothes and go to the toilet without taking down their trousers, it smelled like festering urine. I realised in that kidniphany moment that kidneys clean the blood of toxins, kidneys... make pee, kidneys have pee inside them. That smell that I was smelling was... pee. I almost vomited (but I was hungry).

    So I don't like kidneys now. ;)

    What do you not like?

    Jeebus, myself too.

    I can't even see it without my head going into those spinning-spasms one gets when youv'e had a bite juicy bite of something bitter/cellery-ish and can't get rid of the taste.
    Absolutely horrible
    Dunno how anyone could think that it's healthy.
    And as for those ads where yer want is munchin down a raw stick of it, or dipping it into something (Philadelphia I think) - How The Fúck?

    I tasted dandelion as a young ald (curious etc.) and Cellery tastes the same.
    pure cellulose shíte.
    Tis not food at all.
    Aside from that I really really dislike crapy boiled spuds, or mashed potatoes that have chunks of bad spud in em (you know the bits - they're not rotten, look exactly like normal spud, but you can't mash em and the stick out like stones in sand in your mouth) - pure muck.

    Can't drink/smell buckfast without wanting to throw up either.
    Result of a bad experience one night while bushing.
    two bottles of the nectar in a little under half an hour. Fécked them into the woods(we were in a clearing round a fire).
    Was pretty wasted, lost me glasses, nearly fell asleep in the fire, thied to blow into the fire á la bellows to keep myself warm, ended up stumbling home, puking every bit.
    Fell into bed, woke up with brown/black puke on my pillow, in my hair and on my French-English dictionary.
    Luverly stuff all together.

    Oh you heathen, tripe is delicious.
    Tripe and onions boiled in milk, yum!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Can't stand mushrooms. Urgh. I've never eaten kidney, and I don't plan to start any time soon. I haven't eaten liver since I was about 8, hated it. Also eggs. I'm not mad about most plants either (celery, brocolli, cauliflower, cabbage).


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭Acidflash

    Hate brussel sprouts, the smell of them being cooked makes me feel ill and whenever they get near me I gag...

    Celery is also disgustable but not on the same level.
