C’mon guys! You know if you were literally starving you’d eat all that stuff, including aged fish (gross as it sounds.)

chyna's avatar

NO!! NEVER!

Dutchess_III's avatar

YES YOU WOULD!!!! ~

Dutchess_III's avatar

But, since I have the luxury of not being starving, I just say no to brains, tongue, liver and chipped beef in cheese sauce over toast.
I seem unable to do sushi, either.

Lutefisk. Ugh ugh ugh…

gondwanalon's avatar

Aged fish smells like rotten fish that was cooked that makes it very stinky and revolting. One time at dinner I was asked to try a small bite of it. I had to spit it out in a napkin and nearly vomited at the dinner table.

chyna's avatar

Rocky Mountain oysters. Nope. No way.

janbb's avatar

Fried eggs

SnipSnip's avatar

Humans. I know I would never ever.

Dutchess_III's avatar

^^^ That’s what the Donnar party and the Rugby team swore.

janbb's avatar

@Dutchess_III Your thigh is looking mighty tasty right about now!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Not enough meat on it to make a meal.

janbb's avatar

But I only need a bite or two and then I’m full!

Dutchess_III's avatar

:D. I’m your Huckleberry!

anniereborn's avatar

Raw bugs. I mean if I was literally starving I suppose I would eat them if I could at least cook them.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

I really dislike white rice.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Cucumbers they do nasty things to my intestines, almost everything mentioned I’ve eaten (no humans and yes raw bugs).

Doctor thinks it is because of my allergy to ragweed ?

SnipSnip's avatar

@SQUEEKY2 I find that so very odd. I love rice, all of the varieties I’ve tried. I like it plain with just a little salt or Cavenders.

Forever_Free's avatar

anything at McDonalds

janbb's avatar

^^ That’s not food, although I did used to eat it with the kids as a treat!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I desperately want to try sushi but I just can’t bring myself to take that first bite. :(

Tropical_Willie's avatar

You’re missing out @Dutchess_III, try Tempura (cooked first then wrapped in rice and Nori) Sushi. I’ve been eating Sushi and Sashimi since I was 10. First is was Sea Urchin roe (think caviar) !

chyna's avatar

@Dutchess_III The rule is to not buy sushi at a convenience store. :-)

Forever_Free's avatar

@chyna is right. needs to be from a gas station

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Best Spam Musubi I ever had came from a convenience store in Kauai . Grilled seasoned Spam wrapped in sticky rice and Nori.seaweed.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I know I’m missing out! That’s why I desperately want to try it!

smudges's avatar

Ok, if I was literally starving to death, I’d eat a human before I’d eat one of those huge fat whitish grubs that live in the bark of trees. And there are a number of bugs that I wouldn’t touch with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole, let alone eat them. I’d die first.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I gathered up my nerve and tried a sushi guys. Got a mouth full of crunchy, raw veggies. I gave up at that point.

ragingloli's avatar

Wait ‘til you try German sushi.

janbb's avatar

@Dutchess_III I would be suspicious of what is sold as sushi in Kansas. What was the name of what you tried?

Tropical_Willie's avatar

@ragingloli is that bratwurst on spaetzele wrapped with seaweed ? ?

Dutchess_III's avatar

I have no idea what kind it was.
Why would sushi in Kansas be any different than in any other state @janbb?

janbb's avatar

@Dutchess_III i would assume there are many fewer Japanese in Kansas than on the coasts. My main point is that there are many different kinds of sushi so you can’t judge by one taste that was all raw vegetables – although there are vegetable varieties.

ragingloli's avatar

And petrol station/supermarket sushi does not count. Those are always terrible.

Dutchess_III's avatar

You don’t have to be Japanese to know how to make sushi @janbb. It’s just a recipe.
We actually have several sushi-specific resturaunts within 20 miles of where we live:
Ninja Sushi Steak House, Hibachi Boy and MOSA Hibachi & Sushi .

The sushi I tried was at a Chinese resturaunt NOT AT A GAS STATION RAGGY!

Tropical_Willie's avatar

We have several places that serve sushi in our area, best one is run by a Filipino guy. He has a Japanese trained sushi chef; his knife skills are amazing.

Go to MOSA their menu looks legit.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Do they have sushi for beginners?

Tropical_Willie's avatar

California roll.

Did the Chinese restaurant serve pink pickled ginger and green “wasabi” (actually dyed horseradish) on the side ?

janbb's avatar

Shrimp tempura roll

Dutchess_III's avatar

@Tropical_Willie it was at an all you can eat. You serve yourself.
As far as I can remember they weren’t named.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

All veggies sounds like.

All you can eat sometimes skips protein like tuna, crab and tempura shrimp.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I only took one bite so there may have been more to it.

NovDel's avatar

To be honest I take the view that if it exists as a food and people consider it a delicacy, then it’s probably worth trying. There are things, however, that I really don’t much fancy.

1. Balut. I love fresh duck eggs and duck meat, but I really am not in a hurry for the bit in between.

2 Casu Marzu. I love cheese, but I can live without the maggots.

3 Andouillete. Some kind of French sausage made from pigs’ intestines. Apparently uncleaned. It’s said that the worse it smells, the better it is. I’ll take their word for it.

4 Fugu fish. Not worth the risk.

5 Not really a food, but civet coffee. I have no wish whatsoever to ingest something picked out of cat poop, even if they rinse it under the tap first. It’s not even anything special, so they say.
