    Tripe and drisheen! For those of you who are not aware of this Cork delicacy, it is the lining of sheeps stomach and sheeps intenstine. The tripe is boiled in milk, onion, salt and pepper and is thickened with cornflour. I'm sure its lovely, but I can't stand the carpet textured appearance of the tripe and I hate the smell of it as it is cooking. I eat almost anything, but I can't bring myself to try this...

    Eating tripe is like chewing an old piss-filled hot-water bottle that someone's puked and sh1t all over.

    There's nothing I don't like. Except for cordial. Y'know like Kia-Ora? I can't STAND cordial. I'm the least fussy person ever, I actually ENJOY brussel sprouts, pate, anchovies, stinky cheese, e'erythang.

    Oh but I won't eat things that are unbelievably artificial.. Like mega processed things. But I don't count that as food anyway. :D

    There is absolutely nothing edible I wont eat. Ive eaten bugs, sea cucumber which is basically a jelly like sea slug, dog, what ever. So long as humans some where on the planet eat it and it is well cooked Im good to go....nom nom nom nom:D
    I sometimes tell pub grub places not to give me coleslaw in protest at the their obsession with dumping a dollop of it on top of every single dish.... but I'll still eat the stuff.

    ...shrimp because it's like eating fishy-tasting elastic bands, I won't eat oysters because they look like snots on steriods.

    Is their any food that you hate and why?

    Meat. The thought that it used to be an animal is utterly disgusting.

    I bought drisheen once in the English Market out of curiosity (definitely not cos of how it looked anyway) and boiled it in milk and onions as the butcher told me. The apartment stank of stale piss for the rest of the day. I don't know how, but it was the closest thing to a piss-soaked carpet. Vile VILE stuff!!!

    Apart from drisheen, I won't eat pineapples or pickles. Bleurgh! Sick abominations they are. I've said it for years, if I ever become dictator, there will be concentration camps for pineapples.

    Mushrooms, low and behold they have a similar taste to Magic mushrooms would you believe :rolleyes:, which i had couple bad experiences with, so the taste puts me right off.
    Magic mushrooms are raw .Most people eat other mushrooms cooked ,hence -different flavour.Plus magic mushies taste of dirt and wrench your stomach into peices.Ordinary ones do not ,mushrooms are versatile and really tasty if prepared properly.I know a lot of people might be put off by bad fries in their past as mushrooms are like sponges ,they soak up a lot of the flavours.And greasy pan flavour is never good.
    yeah to the arsehole who said my spelling mistake was as bad as mistreating prawns?? Im usually exhausted coming on here and oh dear one spelling mistake.Lot different to someone who cant cook properly .

    Onions. Especially in burgers. Their texture is like wriggly worms.

    Thing is, what are "non dietary reasons"? I like most foods -- some just don't like me. If I'm told I'm getting vegetable soup and what arrives is actually lentil and vegetable soup, am I meant to eat it meekly and suffer later in order to exude "refinement and sophistication"?
    If you have a difficulty with lentils, you should check if the dish contains them due to their prevalence in vegetarian dishes/soups.

    I'm not too worried really, Darwinian theory will eventually deal with fussy eaters. If it provides you with safe nutritional value - EAT IT ! - Otherwise evolution will eventually exclude your offspring.

    Kidney and liver.:p For 2 reasons. 1. taste. 2. original functions of same. Yeuch.
    I eat peas but always think they smell like stinky socks when they are cooking.

    If you taste them you're doing it wrong.

    Hasn't happened yet, as this thread proves!

    And when you consider that cats are notoriously fussy eaters...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,502 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    The only thing I've ever actually had to stop eating was Kudu.

    just raw celery (properly cooked is okay) or kidneys. and anything with an aniseed or liquorice flavour.

    anything else is fair game imho, and i've even given deep fried crickets a try in thailand and they were actually okay.

    since when? :confused:

    anything that can eat a whole pigeon and only leave the 2 wingtip feathers and a foot is far from fussy. (my cat btw). :D

    Indeed. The big cats in most parts of the world are in a perilous situation due to destruction of habitat and reduction of availability of their traditional prey. The whole whole evolutionary thing takes a very long time.
    I'm just saying it is a bad idea to develop a preference for limited food groups/types because this may eventually translate into a genetic preference. Limiting what is nutritionally acceptable is not a good strategy in the long term.

    Good topic for another AH thread perhaps? Also the one below? SIATC sounds like a poster child for the DSM-IV!

    You'll eat what you're given. Theres thousands of poor men up and down the country that would love to eat pussy, but they dont have any.

    Eggs, beans and mushrooms would be my main 3 dislikes. Eggs smell like a leaking gas pipe that's been farted on, mushrooms taste like a damp eraser, and beans have the foulest texture going. Blergh.

    Not much left for a proper fry!?



    Parsnips/Turnips. No,just No.

    Cous Cous - stupid looking stuff

    Fried eggs - I'll eat them,but only if I cook them myself,If someone else cooks them and leave any goo or uncooked parts on top,they might as well throw the plate of food in the bin
