I don't eat green vegetables. None. Or mushrooms.

I used to try when I was younger, but now I know better. :)

I don't like those really pungent cheeses. I can tolerate mozzerella, munster, swiss, cheddar, and all the common stuff - but cheeses from northern France, for example, make me hurl.

I'd say I'll eat pretty much anything but there are a few things I don't much care for. Anything like liver, kidney, or other forms of entrails, brains and paws are completely off for me. I don't like brussels sprouts, they are like little vile stink bombs waiting to explode in your mouth once you bite down. Also, the yuckiest fruit I know is called a diospiro/ kaki/ persimmon, the taste is okay but in the centre it has 2 slug like things that just make my stomach turn. Does anyone know these?

thx for reminding me - no livers, kidneys, bladders, brains, testicles or haggis.

yecchh ...

"sweet breads" sounds sort of appetizing if they were really "sweet" and "bread". Brains and entrails on the other hand sound like slaughterhouse scraps, which I guess they ofter are.

In any case, I love sweet breads ...the brains and organs kind... very delicate flavor and texture; I also like kidneys and tripe and liver, you get the picture. I suppose this is why they called me "garbage mouth" when I was a teenager, it was not for my choice of language.

I don't know about paws, where would I get those? But something I found for the first time a few years ago and thought it was a bit strange is chicken feet. Not the leg or meat, but the actual little claws that scratch chicken shit in the pen. It was in a Chinese restaurant and the gelatinous texture and cartiledge made it tasty and intersting.

Oh, I have never tried eyeballs, they sound sort of weird and I've never been confronted with the opportunity yet.

I will eat just about anything... however, when I was a kid, I was strictly a no vegetables kind of kid (my only exceptions were peas, corn, potatoes and tomatoes in a sauce).

While I will eat them I am not a fan of beets, bussel sprouts (damn Belgians) and offal (while I can eat them, I just don't enjoy it so I tend to avoid ordering it).

I love raw onions but I hate cooked ones

My tastes have broadened considerably since I was younger though do have a few quirks.

For example:

Nothing beats a crispy dill pickle with a grilled cheese sandwich, but like relish, I think it ruins a good burger.

Cherry Tomatoes. I've progressed to the point where I can eat them drizzled in balsamic vinegar or in a pesto cream pasta, but never alone. That burst of sour juice makes me gag everytime.

On the other hand, I love raw cherries, but can't eat them cooked. Cherry pie is the one and only kind of pie I won't eat. Again, the sour juice makes me gag. Same for fakey cherry flavoured candy.

Let's see, what else... I love prepared and seedy mustard but don't like strong dijon mustard. Minimal Wasabi on my sushi please and no Cabbage rolls or sauerkraut.

I don't drink coffee.

In Hungary, the local cough syrup has a similar tase to Root Beer, so my dad won't touch the stuff. His old school friend is incredulous that we enjoy it.

Boy I'd hate to coordinate ordering Pizza at a TFP party. :lol:
