Picky Eaters
 

Test for picky and mine

Will not choose, but won't necessarily pick or scrape off:
ketchup
mayo
mustard
vinegar
shrimp
tomatoes (I do like sauce, though)
bell peppers
coffee (unless it's a mocha)

Will not eat:
ranch dressing
raw fish
cooked fish
canned tuna (will eat canned salmon, though)
oysters
crab
snails

No
raw fish
oysters
snails
bell peppers
grapefruit

Maybe depends on preparation
pineapple
coconut
cucumbers

snails? I don't know, but I'd try them
grapefruit - tastes like bitter dirt to me, but I will drink the juice in a Greyhound, or Salty Dog (preferable with the salt)

everything else, totally yes, why not?

Picky eater list?

Looks more like a shopping list to me. Including the absence of cilantro.

Snails are pretty good, but like lobster, the flavor is in the garnish.

I have eaten the lot and would again. [emoji39]

No olives, no canned tuna, no bread.


And snails taste like unbreaded calamari--which is to say, bland but not bad by any means.

I was on a strategic reconnaissance exercise in France where my team of four spent a rainy night under poncho hooches inside a woodline adjacent to a residential area. By dawn the rain had stopped. It was still overcast and I had just gotten out of my sleeping bag when a man walked by, turning over leaves and branches with a long stick, while murmuring to himself. He paused for just a moment, looking up to see me standing there in my jungle fatigues, and said "Je cherche les escargots." Then he continued on like I wasn't even there. Serious business!

Sautéed in butter and garlic is the way they ought to be.

I like the claws the best. I haven't cooked lobster in years, but I imagine the boil is the same for blue claw crabs. Something I learned about crawfish is to keep them in fresh water for 3 days so they will purge their shit. If fresh caught and boiled then I have to spice the boil to mask the taste of crawfish shit.

I usually pick the onions off fast food sandwiches and burgers. I sharpen my knives so as to have paper thin slices.
Another is honey mustard, gross stuff.
Miracle Whip. Who thought of this shit?
Snails. I dunno never tried them.
I discovered mushrooms from a neighbor years ago. Love those oyster mushrooms. Purple ones make great tea. Makes me want to lick my wife all over.

All good here. Picky I am not ... at least when it comes to eating.
My list of "Will not eat" primarily contains organs.

Yup chitlins is definitely off the menu.

I brought some marzipan candies, the uncoated fruit shaped kind, to a family gathering on Christmas day. It was surprising how many people didn't like marzipan. It was fresh product that I ordered right from the maker and I loved it.

No
blue cheese
raw fish
oysters
snails
brussel sprouts
mushrooms
pickles
beans
olives
peas
strawberries
banana
coconut
coffee

Maybe
cooked fish
crab (only if in something like mac and cheese)
pork
tofu
cabbage (no saurkraut or anything similar)
tomatoes (long list of what is and isn't acceptable)
zucchini
broccoli
eggplant
avocado
grapefruit
white chocolate




.....yea, I figured this would happen.

Marzipan would be on my no thank you list.

Attachment 62814

no:
all of the things that lived in shells including snails
mustard (except for a tiny dash in a dressing I can usually handle)
pork (except in bacon form -that's ok for whatever reason I can't fathom -rest makes me puke)
pickles
All forms of bell pepper and chili
Cilantro

Guess I would if I was hungry enough/being polite but ttally wasted on me:
Zucchini
Olives
Avocado
White chocolate
Tofuck <<<what is the fucking point if you are a meat eater? I used to chew on erasers as a kid. they had more taste and texture. And it squeaks on my teeth. Or feels like it.

....I noticed that most of the ones that just do nothing for me have similar textures, but I would say that mushroom could be included in that texture group and I love mushrooms.

So picky AND weird.

Like chili peppers? Don't click here

NO NO NO, this shall not stand. :vomitblu:

And the beer is even too small.

Cauliflower steak is the new veggie discovery over here. Our high-end food supermarket (Marks and Spencer) is selling pre-prepared, packaged cauliflower steaks for £2.60, while you can buy a whole cauliflower at any store for about 60p.

'Cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education'. (Mark Twain).

And each is an abomination in the sight of the Lord.

In the, thankfully unlikely, event that Dad suggested we had either for lunch, I'd give vent to my inner Gordon Ramsay. :censored:

I love cauliflower......when people aren't trying to pass it off as another food. cauliflower != (potatoes or rice)

Hated it as a kid, but my mom boiled it.

It's not so bad now if you roast it and coat it with salt and a bit of oil.

lightly steamed, smothered in cheese sauce, then with a topping of more cheese and under the grill/broiler for a few seconds..... yum.

Pologirl has a new group of friend who have decided to hold social evenings trying unpopular/weird/fad foods. last week was Limburger cheese. (She couldn't taste it beneath the raw onion and mustard, but it did smell horrible). Next one will be a fermentation special with kombucha and kimchi, apparently.

Cauliflower cheese. Food of the gods.


I gotta say that cauli meatloaf thing looks quite nice to me :P Bit of good beef gravy over that and I'm in.

A friend that can't eat chocolate passed on a gift that was given to him by someone that had recently traveled to Malaysia. The gift?

I'm so tempted to try it, but Andrew Zimmern won't even eat that shit.

I understand it tastes wonderful if you have no sense of smell. :haha:

Or functioning taste buds. ;)

Smithsonian says...

Ehhh . . . I don't know.

Andrew Zimmern's reaction leads me to believe otherwise. ;)

It's what's for dinner! ...with roast chicken, roast spuds and all the trimmings. And Kale. :D

Ohhhh .... God that sounds tasty.

I haven't had roast chicken for ages. I think my next food shop may have to include a small chicken for me and Carrot to share.

My dad gave a piece of Limburger cheese to a sausage dog (dachshund/wiener dog) we used to have to see whether she would eat it. She rolled on it enthusiastically [emoji38]

I’m astonished. Roast chicken one day = chicken sandwiches for work/chicken curry/chicken soup .... they almost make themselves from the first one. [emoji490][emoji490][emoji490]

With two flown the nest, there is finally, occasionally, some leftover meat from a 6lb chicken.... But Thunderboy eats enough to feed a small nation of non-swimmers....

(chicken just went in the oven :D )

But that's one man's opinion. Remember millions go out of their way and spend big bucks to eat it.

:D I wish them well. I'm still interested in tasting the chocolate-covered durian, but I think I'll wait until I'm good and wasted to give it a try. HA!

But then you miss the impact of mother nature and loose the reason to get wasted.


Yeah yeah, what's a reason, and why do we need it?

Eh, I don't get really ripped very often, but I do smoke every day.

If I don't smoke at least a little every day, I have crazy frustration dreams - can't find something I need for a meeting, can't get to the meeting because the roads are closed, can't notify the person I'm supposed to meet that the roads are closed because the phones are out - that sort of stuff. I wake up terribly stressed and upset.

But with a little THC in my system, all of that goes away. I don't know if I'm not dreaming at all, or if I'm not remembering my dreams . . . either way, a little bud every day is a great blessing. I wake up rested, calm, and in a good mood. :)

As for eating durian, I think I'd need to be really buzzed to summon the nerve. :rolleyes:

The durian is quite tasty. The texture is very smooth and creamy and it tastes slightly sweet.


The fragrance of the fruit when you start to open it is pungent and not sweet, not terribly appetizing. It is very weird.

Adding chocolate... I don't know.. You will be missing a significant part of the experience, but not a great one.. Go for it!

Ok, ok, ok! I did it!

First impression - onions. Second impression - chocolatey onions. Weird.

Didn't make me wretch, but it wasn't particularly tasty either. I suspect that without the chocolate, my reaction would be quite different. :rolleyes:
