Food you just couldn't eat

My dad used to go crazy for tripe …… it turns my stomach. My mum used to say ‘it’s the best of meat’ and I used to ask ‘well how come it’s so cheap?’ That was 60 years ago. Is it still really cheap or do the chefy offal types consider it a delicacy and pay a fortune for it?

We had got the dog tripe chews to give her something different, the minute she started chewing them the whole house stunk and it was really bad, she loved them as well, lesson learned and did feel guilty about not getting them for her again as it was something she really liked.

Tinned tuna.

I don’t mind tinned tuna as long as it’s proper steak pieces and not the chunk concoction which is awful.

Hot tomatoes, not in a sauce like in a pasta but cut in half and on the side of a plate in a breakfast fry up. I'll eat anything like snails, oysters etc.

Is this you JC?

Haha very good but no

[overdrive]

Was squid and octopus. Had it a few times but always thought they were rank in taste and texture. But we had it unadvertised in paella on holiday in August and they were lovely… way better than I’ve had it here. Even ordered calamari on another night on holiday and it was good also.

I’ll give anything a go really.

Prawns, crab, oysters, clams, scallops and all other shellfish. The thought of them turns my stomach! Tried them a couple of times each and they absolutely give me the boak which is unusual as I'm really not a fussy eater but to me they're just horrible sea insects.

I’m pretty much the same with a cup of tea. Loved tea as a kid until I was about 10, suffered illness and associated it with tea that I went right off. Never touched a cup since.

Tea has to be just right. If not it's not worth drinking. Pour away.

Southern Comfort, over indulged when I was younger, can't even smell it without boaking these days. 😫

Funnily enough, the only drink I’ve ever done that with is Diet Coke.

Made myself ill on vodka and Diet Coke when I was 15 and haven’t been able to stomach Diet Coke since.

Vodka is absolutely fine on the other hand.

I had a similar experience with Pernod & Blackcurrant , I was dog sick after a night on it never been a sick with any alcohol since , I spewed out of my bedroom window as I wouldn't have made the bathroom, my old man blamed the mess on the local cats when he saw it in the morning, I haven't touched the stuff since

Lol! I spewed up in the shower one morning after a wee bit too much Port the night before, like something out of a horror film. 😳

Snap, many many moons ago, retching up in the toilet all night.

We're off to Iceland next month, and I fully intend on trying fermented shark. Also off to Albania early next year for three nights and noticed that brain is on the starters list.

There aren't many things off limit for me, but please no Fray Bentos or other tinned pies.

Einstock Icelandic Pale Ale is a must try.

Planning to go to the Faroe Islands next year and I fully intend to try Whale Blubber and wind dried Mutton. Will also try Fulmar and report back. Heard it’s manky but we’ll see.

You'll either be pleasantly surprised or have a decent anecdote.

I tried something called Unicum in Budapest, it's similar to Jagermeister, but somehow much, much worse.

It was invented the same year as hearts were formed, another reason to avoid.

I think everyone’s had a bad experience on it at some point.

Mine's was my 19th birthday. Haven't touched it since and I'm 63 in 18 days.....

Goes down so easy, I remember we had a mate visit from foe south visit us in halls in Glasgow, would've been 19.

Day drinking plus PES session. Realised whilst it was still blazing daylight that I'd taken too much comfort in the old Southern Comfort that my vision was starting to go. So shifted off it pronto and haven't been back.

Another contender for a food I can't eat is andouilette, the beloved tripe sausage from Lyon.

Drinks to add would be Jet 27, a French minty abomination that makes a hell of a mess and vodka red bull - a mere sniff brings about flashbacks from 1st year of uni (not to mention it's terrible for more than just your liver)

[Northernhibee]

Chocolate ice cream. Largely gross.

Any sort of fish or Liver or Kidney meat

I quite like liver. It’s a taste that takes me right back to my childhood. Feel like I should be having strawberry curds & whey for desert!! Bet nobody else remembers that one!!
