The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we will ask you a question or provide a topic, and you will talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: What’s one food you refuse to eat?
Talk about it….
Okra, green slime, gooey, mushy okra.
Cut it open & it looks like a wasp nest inside and tastes even worse.
I wouldn’t feed it to a pig.
If I can only name one, it’s Brussels sprouts.
If I can get away with naming two, cauliflower.
When I was a little kid, they made me throw up.
I haven’t eaten them since.
I refuse to eat fake noodke it impasta to eat fake noodle
Pineapple, for some reason I’m allergic.
Raw sweet onions. My parents loved them and made sandwiches of just those and bread. The onions were grown locally and known nationally. Cooked (sauteed) is a different story and I don’t mine raw green onions.
Tripe.
Blue cheese
Sweetbreads. I say this because I would more likely be served this “delicacy” (bleaach) than the other I also wouldn’t eat, brain.
Mushrooms and black olives.
With mushrooms, its more of a texture thing. I’m not too hot for the taste either, but I’ll eat them when they’re used in a recipe.
I have always hated black olives. I’ll pick them out of prepared dishes or just not eat.
Sushi
Who ever thought eating RAW FISH is a good idea?
How about eating RAW hamburger?
That is called Steak Tartar and is considered a gourmet treat. Not that I like it, can’t even remember if I ever did eat it. I know I have been at events where it was served.
When it’s raw, it’s called steak tartare. Rarely eat meat anymore but tried it once years ago in Italy, and it was delicious.
In Italian restaurants it’s called carpaccio, and I find it delicious.
Carpaccio is thinly sliced raw meat, most commonly beef or fish.
Oysters won’t stay down. Oddly, clams have never been a problem.
Celery a really bad experience in preschool told to eat it and I said NO! didn’t end well can’t even stand the smell of it. I’m 30 and still can’t stand it!
Fish – can’t stand looking at or smelling it.
Cauliflower and liver! Yuck!
Sushi, also known as bait in Arkansas.
Also yogurt.
Wow, seventeen comments in and nobody has written “You just haven’t had it cooked or prepared correctly” yet. Might be a new record for this subject.
Tofu or mushrooms, either one.
Menudo, it makes me gag. Just can’t do it.
Bitter melon, just like it sounds but even worse
Octopus: after watching My Octopus Friend, I just don’t have the stomach for it. My stomach is churning even thinking about it.
I tried octopus once, and it was like chewing on rubber,
so I gave it to the dog. The dog got tired of chewing on it,
and spit it out and walked away.
Tako…….Octopus grilled on the BBQ Japanese style… Nom!
@ Dawg, you need to boil it for 30-45 minutes before you put it in the BBQ.
Cilantro. Tastes like soap. Some sources claim that cilantro tastes like bed bugs, but I’ve never tried them and therefore I can’t validate or invalidate this claim.
It’s interesting that they say come people taste cilantro differently than others.
durian
I won’t touch any kind of offal. Yuck.
Is it a coincidence that “offal” sounds/looks like “awful”?
Somewhere out there must be limerick using those two words!
Liver and eggplant.
Human flesh.
Jello. I’ll try just about anything, but Jello just disgusts me. Always has.
