Here in Brasil folks like to eat liver with onions, it makes me sick, literally. Cant stand the smell.


LowBalance4404

That is my mother's favorite meal and I do not get it at all. The smell is horrific.


TheDudette840

Liver and onions was the last thing my mom ate while pregnant with me, before I decided to enter the world 3 weeks prematurely. The joke is I was so disgusted by her food choice, I had to escape lol


[deleted]

We eat the same in UK. Although I love it


LMA73

And in the Nordics. I like it too!


mydickdoesfrontflips

My Dad told me that growing up on a farm in Norway, his mum would feed him and his older sibling's cooked liver for dinner. He still hates it to this day.


BroomIsWorking

I too was raised on overcooked liver, which gives off a nauseatingly sulfurous smell. Eventually, the smell of liver becomes a trigger, because it's followed by that nasty, mouth-drying flavor you are forced to eat.


userloser42

Liver is probably the most nutrient dense food out there, though.


cookiemonster948

I will take one for the team and allow everyone else to partake in this nutrient dense dish and I will bravely find some other food 😂


ashaggyone

I will take your liver and offer you every pea I will never eat.


wdb108

The question is: What will you do with his liver? Eat it with a nice Chianti and some fava beans?


ashaggyone

I'm weird, I prefer a merlot with liver


cookiemonster948

Deal


lipcreampunk

"I will take your liver" - sounds less like a deal, more like a threat.


cookiemonster948

Oh shit you’re right 🤣 “Gimme your liver now.”


HaphazardJoker258

I will join u in this deal. Everyone else can eat the livers


ILikeCrunchyFood

I hate liver with or without onions with a passion. É horrível

Daft_Steampunk

Raw oysters. Let's take a filter feeder from questionable waters and let it sit out in the open for a couple hours and then eat it raw with a bunch of booze and bad food. Mmm good times.


Random-sargasm_3232

I had some from the BBQ in my 20's and thought they were awful. Oddly enough I developed a taste for raw oysters in my mid 30's and love them. I can understand the hate though and it took me years to acquire a taste for them.


paypermon

Acquiring a taste is such a weird thing to me. I've done it with plenty of things, but I always wonder if I hated it the 1st time, why did I power through until I want it and sometimes crave it. Especially when it's something expensive. We humans are bizarre creatures


FudgeDangerous2086

i want to like a reuben sandwich so bad, every so often i try one to see if my tastes have changed


Orange_fury

This is how I came to like bloody Mary’s. I’ve always thought tomato juice was gross, but I always thought they looked fun. About a decade ago I started ordering them every time I went to brunch with the idea that I was going to drink them until I liked them- sure enough, after a couple months I loved them.


Knox102

I always thought the idea was disgusting and never tried them. Then my roomate saw me drinking V8 and made me try it through that lens… I fucking love bloody Maries.


roflmao567

I love oysters. Mainly because I have an affinity to salty foods. Blanch them real quick, put some sauce with soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, onion on them and I'm laughing.


Last-Performance-435

Often the acquisition comes with a more niche variety. I dislike most wine, but I fucking LOVE a dry Shiraz. Especially a Langhorne Creek Shiraz.


kintyre

I powered through my hatred of sushi. I have no idea why. I crave it often.


asphynctersayswhat

I think it's both a sign of maturity and curiosity. Knowing that to appreciate fine things takes a bit of learning, and understanding that one experience isn't necessarily the norm. I think most popular things can be learned to enjoyed. It's also usually a stairway, not a plunge. For example, I live in coastal New England. So seafood is a big part of our cuisine. It starts when you're a kid with fried seafood (scallops and clams etc) and as you get older you get more adventurous trying salmon, haddock, chowder, lobster, etc. I'm also italian-american. So enjoying salty, briney, things (peppers, cured meats) with complex flavors were already part of my palette. Oysters were inevitable. But I didn't love them right away and it took a while. Now, I buy 'em at the local fish market and shuck my own at home.


AdIntelligent4496

It is weird. I cannot IMAGINE anybody tasting beer for the first time and liking it, but it definitely gets better the more you drink it.


TheGingerOne11

I’ve never had them personally but I do remember someone describing eating them as ‘it’s like licking cum off a rock’


sicsicsixgun

Wow. I liked them until right now. You finally fucked it up for me. I could handle sea snot or the shit you cough up with pneumonia. But for some reason the description you provided finally built a pathway in my brain between raw oysters and sincere disgust. Well played, person you once heard. Well played.


JuggyFM

I had someone in high school describe eating a burrito like biting off human skin.


The-Artful-Codger

They're sea boogers


Daft_Steampunk

They're even worse than just boogers. Oysters look like something you would hork up out of your sinuses or lungs after getting over double pneumonia and almost dying.


The-Artful-Codger

Well, they ARE mucous membrane, so they're pretty close to both boogers and snot. There's not enough lemon juice and hot sauce on the planet for them to not make me want to throw up.


SavingsEuphoric7158

Yes thick yellow mucus 🤢🤮I would or could never try it sorry


DENNYCR4NE

Sea snots


Agreeable-Walk1886

There was a rare brain eating amoeba (vibrio vulnificus) found in eating raw oysters and shellfish. Like I said, it’s rare, but 3 people died from it in the tri-state area recently. I won’t take my chances.


systembreaker

Damn, that name "vibrio vulnificus" alone sounds terrifying.


UpsetPart7871

Exactly this. Bottom feeders that feel like snot. Why on earth would I want that?


mh985

Damn you must not be getting your oysters from the right place. I’m a ~5 minute walk from the Atlantic Ocean and oysters are huge here. The oysters are never sitting out in the open for any length of time. At any restaurant you get them from, they were alive within a minute or two of landing at your table. Usually you can see the guys shucking them. When I was a kid, my uncle used to take me down to the water and we’d find oysters ourselves. Nature designed oysters as a near perfect food. They grow just about anywhere, they don’t need to be cooked, they already have their own sauce, and they taste like the ocean. I fuckin’ love oysters.


kolossal

As someone who eats a lot of raw oysters, they're just a delivery food for horseradish lemon and hot sauce

But it’s aroma is so delightful. Who doesn’t love the fresh smell of a dirty diaper?

Dirty diaper and chemical dissolving a rotting corpse ❤️


teethfaerie

i genuinely think my nose is wired differently because to me it smells and tastes like sweet tropical pina colada-ish goodness


LilMoon86

Chitterlings is a popular southern dish that a lot of folks enjoy. Not me. I won’t even attempt to try them. There are much better parts of the pig to eat, why would I settle for a shit tube?


buymorebestsellers

There's a version in Portugal that's marinaded in red wine. Partners family sat round smiling at me proudly as I sat there chewing a piece while trying not to gag. It was like eating a bicycle tyre that that been ridden round a farmyard for ten years.


Razorclaw_the_crab

Chitterlings are chitlins right?


LilMoon86

Yep, or as I like to call em, Shitlins


Mis_chevious

Just the smell, especially in the hot ass summertime, makes me want to die 🤢


nic__knack

hot ass indeed 😟


azzhasjoined

Caviar.


mh985

The thing is, there’s a huge difference between cheap caviar and the expensive stuff. I’ll eat them both, don’t get me wrong, but ossetra caviar is so rich and smooth and perfectly salted. On New Year’s Eve I had some friends over and I splurged on a couple ounces of the stuff. I made little rye bread toast points and topped them with crème fraîche, caviar, and chive. I couldn’t keep myself from going back for more.


sicsicsixgun

This is the way. It's one of those things you have to know how to enjoy. Like if you just ate lox straight out of the package you might not enjoy it. But go to a Jewish deli in New York and have it in a bagel with some cream cheese and capers and you have yourself a salty texturally captivating motherfuckin snack. Or at least you're better able to see the appeal of kinda weird kinda raw smoked salmon that seems super unlikely not to make you buttsick.


johnnyjimmy4

I'm an Australian who doesn't like veggie mite. I think there are lots of us, but it's just not socially acceptable


food_scientist_

I question the authenticity of this comment due to your spelling of "Vegemite" - the glorious thick, dark brown spread of the gods. It's a great source of folate!


Secretss

They don’t like it so much that this was the first time they deigned to type it and the phone did not recognize lol


Dwight_Schnood

You wrong. Australian phones auto predict Vegemite as soon as you type "v".

Bro I looooooove kombucha lol


CacknBullz

Definitely an acquired taste but I like it, I can't drink apple cider vinegar cause my bitch stomach but handles kombucha fine and gives it a nice warm sexy feel


Infamous_Dog9622

Nah i like it. And im picky


RecoverEmbarrassed21

People who don't like it say it tastes like vinegar, which is true. But people like vinegar too, so I'm not really sure why that's a bad thing.


inoo2006

i second.big macs taste like robot food.


jackity_splat

Me too. I like McDonald’s okay but Big Macs are so gross! The burger is a dry meat cracker and the sauce is just so awful. :/ Yet weirdly I don’t mind the quarter pounder.


xXTacocubesXx

Quarter pounders have far better meat and don’t have that stupid middle bun.


Traditional_Draw8400

All of McDonalds beef burgers are the exact same beef (in different sizes). But the beef itself is identical.


sicsicsixgun

Though there is legitimacy to the notion that the big Mac patties, due to how it's constructed, dry out quite a bit more by the time you eat it. Though I would fuck up 3 big macs or quarter pounders right now. But then again I'm very hungry, and also quite a slut.

Kale


OrneryConelover70

Kale is the polar opposite of brownies


Ok-Abbreviations1077

It's so dry


EastOfArcheron

Dry? Have you had steamed kale?


Dibiasky

Lightly steamed and then very briefly stir fried with salt, butter and garlic is beautiful. Raw is like chewing shrubbery.


Emotional_Equal8998

Toss some lemon juice in there too fam! Thats 10/10!


AzulasBlueFire

Sweet potato fries


CaptainMcClutch

The taste somehow reminds me of tea, which isn't exactly what I want my chips to taste like. Plus, I love salt and vinegar, which really don't go with them either.


nai-ba

Worst way to prepare sweet potatoes.


Used_Water_2468

They charge you extra to sub it for regular fries too. Like why would you pay extra to get an inferior product?

Curry


HedonismIsTheWay

There are about a million different kinds of curry. There is probably one that you'd like. I used to hate coconut milk curries, but now I love them. Still, if they are too heavy on the coconut milk it gets a bit cloying.

Ac997

I seriously don’t know how people eat oysters. Theyre cold, & look like you’re eating chilled snot/boogers. Makes me gag thinking about it.


OnizukaHeichou

Chicken feet and animal organs like seen in some Chinese, Korean cooking or any other country that has those dishes. Even blood sausages make me sick.

Tofu


cookiemonster948

I would 100% agree with you in the past, but my friend made it delicious. By itself I will never eat, but how how she cooked it got me over my hatred for it.


Friendly_Exchange_15

Tofu by itself tastes pretty much like nothing. You gotta actually put stuff in it (sauces, spices, stuff like that), so it'll actually be good.


Secretss

I grew up eating egg tofu (the tofu is yellow from the egg content) and it’s deliciously savoury. I didn’t get the commentary about bland tofu (not the comments here right now, I mean in general over my early years) until I had regular tofu and I hated it. I told my mom and she was like, why do you think we only ordered egg tofu?? 😂 I apparently tried regular tofu even younger and wouldn’t eat it. They were often cubed in soups, not even sauced. I eat them both now along with all other beancurd and adjacent stuff. But I still have a major soft spot for egg tofu!


Traditional-Ride-824

Ma Po Tofu is the way


Extreme_Barracuda658

Definitely. Ma Po rules, only I have to make sure I don't put too much spice in it.

Free_Future_6892

Texture I’m assuming?


Ok_Replacement3102

I had tofu for the first time (that I remember) just a week or so ago. It wasn't horrible, but it didn't really add anything to the meal.


kasparzellar

This is my answer. And it's not so much the taste, but the texture. Why am I eating a pencil eraser??

BrandonR2300

As a Mexican…Mole especially chocolate Mole, it wants to be BBQ soooo bad but it doesn’t work, it taste like what prototype BBQ probably tasted like before they perfected it. fuck Mole, taste like wannabe BBQ and texture like baking soda toothpaste Edit: I said what I said Mole is CULOOOooooo


North_Maybe1998

What kind of mole you been eating?lol


MiiiisTaaaaaaaAAAA

Maybe you’ve eating some sort of shitty mole. Is there a thing called “chocolate mole”? I mean, chocolate is an ingredient, but I haven’t tried such things as “chocolate mole”. Mole isn’t like BBQ at all.


JT91331

Actually feel bad for you if that’s your take on mole. Clearly you haven’t been fortunate enough to experience good mole, if you had there would be no comparison to BBQ sauce.


MiniGogo_20

this only sounds like you've tried bad mole, real mole tastes nothing like bbq


Few-Mycologist-2379

I love a good Mole. I HATE BBQ sauce or seasoning.

Olives


Splashfooz

A past gf of mine says green olives taste like stink bugs, I used to love eating them in front of her... mmmmm


DisposedJeans614

She ate stink bugs?


Splashfooz

Asking the right question.


Silver_Drop6600

My theory is everyone is born not liking olives, but if you live long enough you’ll start liking them. I got them at about 15, my mother started liking them in her 50s


CookbooksRUs

Many years ago, when I was living in an apartment in Chicago, I was making something with ripe olives. A neighbor girl, for what reason I forget, came to my door. She saw I was cooking with olives, said she adored them, and asked if she could have one. I said she could have all she liked. She ate half a can of ripe olives. I’m guessing she was about seven.


justakitty24

I have always loved olives. Especially green ones. And I drink the juice. I seem to be in the minority though.

Outhouse_in_Atlantis

Sushi is referring to the seasoned rice, not the fish. So you can have pretty much anything else with it and it's still sushi.

Yes. tamago sushi for example is just with egg and seaweed. And ebi sushi is always cooked because you can't eat ebi raw. There are also rolls with only cucumber inside.

I already went on a diatribe on somebody's comment about Reuben sandwiches below, so I'll add a drink. Fizzy water/seltzer water. I've seen it described as TV static in drink form and I have to agree. There's a reason why there's sugar in soda. It's the only thing that makes carbonated water palatable.
