Many of the foods on this list are not good if not prepared properly.
like dirtdawg, i can eat almost anything. can't have gluten but have eaten it before being diagnosed. have never had quince, but can't eat okra unless fried. like eating mucus otherwise. i will try almost any food once just to see. that is how i discovered things like bibimbap and sushi. people like to challenge my disgust tolerance. no one has won.
by the way, without xanthan gum, most GF foods would be impossible to make.
i put nopalitos in my tacos and burritos.
Shrimp that is rubbery is overcooked and possibly stale or made with old shrimp. send it back. the same with pork, which is easy to overcook since it's often pink when done. many people will see this and cook it until it's grey, which means you will be eating cardboard for dinner. go to outback steakhouse and have the pork roast. they do it right. they are fair with the ribs.
a- unless you get fresh apples you may be purchasing apples up to a year old - they will have a mealy texture and less flavor. They will also go bad quickly compared with fresh apples. truly disgusting. my mother cooks her avocado. that's disgusting
b/c - where was lestat for b - brie or c - camembert?
d- dragonfruit are tasteless
e- nothing for e (edamame i like, but then, i like peas and beans), unless you think eggnog is disgusting. actually, canadian eggnog is. half cooked eggplant is disgusting too.
f- fenugreek? smells awful to me but have eaten it.
g- we'll go back to lestat for goat cheese, gruyere and others for garlic
h- really surprised no one mentioned haggis for h.
i - incaberries could qualify as g for ground cherry or p for physallis. i know people who don't like them. like passionfruit they are full of seeds and they have a hard skin.
j - have never eaten jicama which looks like a potato but is supposed to be savory and sweet at the same time. umami, maybe?
k - try kima curry. i cannot stand to be in the house when it's cooking. it doesn't taste bad, just smells awful. the same with chitterlings (pork guts).
l - lots of people don't like liverwurst but i love it. i think lucky charms is disgusting but most children's cereals are. i do like the marshmallows, though.
m - definitely monosodium glutamate. if you can taste it. milk with all the fat removed. seriously disgusting.
n - if you want really nasty for n, try natto. it's a japanese delicacy that requires an acquired taste. i am still working on it. it is fermented, sticky, slimy soy beans.
o - will have to go with raw oyster guts, i like the outside much better
p - will have to be abuses of pumpkin - coffee, pasta sauce and the like
q - will have to go with quail eggs - whole, pickled eggs. can't bring myself to taste them.
r - ratatouille. because of the variation of cooking times the eggplant usually is underdone, and if it's done properly, the rest of the vegetables are overcooked.
s - sausages, canadian style. not disgusting, but not very tasty.
t - try tendon stew. another acquired taste. i love it but hard to get tendons around here.
u - can't bring myself to try urchins either
v - canned vienna sausages. truly disgusting
w - whale fat. worms, fried. not brave enough yet.
x - by the way, yeast and xanthan gum both are additives necessary for different kinds of bread. had to look this one up - xanthia. no tolerance for alcohol and don't like the flavor. it likely would kill me.
y - yoghurt with all the fat removed. as disgusting as skim milk. alternately, fat removed yoghurt with yuck included to make it as creamy as normal yoghurt.
z - zucchini bread made by people who think leaving large chunks of zuchini and other things like corn and hot peppers makes it more sophisticated. i like steamed zucchini and summer squash together. ziti's not disgusting unless made improperly with the wrong sauce.
