I'll provide a picture of what it looks like later.

Not a good picture but.....

eeeeeewwwww.... Looks disgusting. Who in their right mind would shove that in their gob. I'm sure that some of these countries invent disgusting food and call them delicacies just to see how far gullible tourists will go when on holiday.

That was our thoughts exactly lettie

out of normal english food, and the list so far tripe, i've never tried it, but don't like the sound of it. Most of the stuff you lot have mentioned I actually like and are my favourites, cheese, brussels, broth, mushrooms, eggs, all yummy.

Curries I can't stand, and can not understand why all english people seems to love the rubbish, mez I'm shocked at, other than my ex of 10 yrs, and my nan, you are the only female I know of that doesn't like curry.

Chinese, pizza, italian, english take aways yes but not curry.

I didn't think that any food would make me puke.......until I read about balut....poor ducky.
Thanks Tal for starting such a tasty thread(not). Gotta go and puke now.

Boiled green cabbage is enough to turn me green. Red pickled cabbage and sauerkraut is ace.
Brussel sprouts and most other green vegetables.
Swede and turnips.
Most shell fish.
Tripe is absolutely disgusting.
Rare cooked meat. Yuk! And twice yuk!
The fat off any meat. Crispy bacon fat is OK though. Not that you can get the modern bacon to crisp. I buy dry cured bacon and that will get crispy.
That milk pudding that looks like frog spawn. Can’t remember the name now.

TAPIOCA and SAGO are what you are thinking of jambutty and I love both yummy.

jambutty · 03-08-2006, 15:07

Much obliged SPUGGIE J.

I would have replied sooner but I was being sick with the thought of sago.

norwich stanley · 03-08-2006, 16:19

I think liver is about the only food i dont like.

lindsay ormerod · 03-08-2006, 19:20

Will have a do at most things but draw the line at snails and tripe! Also strongly dislike courgettes;it's a texture thing !

Angel Delight, don't ask me why, it just nauseates me. I agree with Grannyclaret too, raw tripe with salt and vinegar is lovely stuff but cooked tripe is awful, it looks like snot and it smells like poo.
