What food do you like that other people think is horrid?

Whale is really tasty - had it in Iceland. Also very partial to squid, mussels, haggis, and black pudding is one of my all-time favourite foods.

I also can't understand Irish people's limited diets. Once overheard this order in my local Chinese takeaway - 'Chicken Curry, no veg and chips' :eek:

Squid/calamari, mussels, scallops - I always get slagged for ordering seafood at restaurants, like it's unheard of to do this.

Chutneys - mango chutney with an indian meal, any other chutney on my ploughmans sammich

Gherkins, pickled onions, saurkraut

Absolutely love anchovies on a pizza, my favourite as a kid was anchovy and pineapple.



When I was preggers I had to strip it all back to basics and could only stomach toast, fruit, chips and chicken nuggets etc.

I like everything you mentioned apart from the anchovies

I really like salt licorice icecream. Completely unheard of in this country.
I use to cook up some lambs kidney with sausages. Served with rice in a sauce that was a cross with gravy and spaghetti sauce. House mate used to rile me for that.
Just not as much as they did when I use to lift.
Then peanut butter chicken was on the menu or
tuna with red onion and mayo yummy.

Anything fishy or acrid

Anchovies...tear cans of those little bastards open and chew like a cudding cow.

Sprouts
Olives
any smoked fish....mackerel or haddock.
Haggis.....fcuking rules
Beetroot
Garlic....buckets of that sh1t
Sardines
Stinking rotten festering weird cheese from France or Poland.

And last year, I had one absolutely gorgeous scotch egg at a pub in London where instead of sausage meat they made it with black pudding. Awesome

These. Gotta love Brewdog.

Also olives, tofu, garlic, black pudding, sriracha, really strong dark chocolate, whiskey, strong ales...

I quite like a lot of the stuff mentioned here. A limited and atrocious diet when I was little has made me an adventurous eater as an adult.

Something I like that other people find horrid? Blue cheese, the stinkier the better. I like it so ripe that it's oozing out in the centre. I like a cheese that you can smell in the fridge from the bus stop. The closer it smells to a tramps armpit in August the more I know I'm going to love it. It's definitely an acquired taste but once you have acquired it oh lord is it glorious. The initial ammonia hit to the nose fades quickly to an incredibly rich, soft, gentle creamy cheese feel in the mouth and leaves a wonderful aftertaste. Pair it with a fruit chutney... mmmm.

I am the only person that I know that actually buys and eats blue cheese. And that suits me fine.

Celery, raw cabbage, cucumber,pudding and as OP said Haggis. Delish. The veg haggis is even nicer in my opinion but thats for another thread

A surprisingly large number of people I know hate both pineapple and coconut. Fresh pineapple is the greatest fruit there is.

I remember my fruit- and veg- phobic dad giving me a lift to the supermarket on a hot summers day and him looking revolted and going YEUCH when I picked up a packet of fresh pineapple slices. He asked to try one when I opened the packet in the car and ended up scoffing the lot on me.

Toast+slice of cheese+fried egg+mayo+chopped gerkins . I Love it

Big into raw fish, bleeding meat and oysters. Any type of seafood really.

Love pickled anything and really stinky/blue cheese and go nuts for anchovies. I get a lump of Roquefort every Christmas which I eat raw, the oozier the better.

Hate things other people like though, like curry. Curry! YUK! And tubers like parsnip/turnip and celeriac. I think celeriac is utterly rancid.

To the person who likes cilantro, most of us here call it coriander, and it's one of those foods that for some reason taste amazing to some people, but hideous to others, for genetic reasons, apparently.

Also, pineapple is amazing raw, but should never be put on pizza.
