Brussel Sprouts
Avocado (texture)
Asparagus

Chinese baby corn and the sauce flavored with it. Defies comparison with any other taste I know.

Comes up in sushi. Salmon eggs, too.

I'm just more adventurous than Pete is. Edible things rather seem to outnumber inedible things, as the late Ewell Gibbons taught us. If you're lost in the mountainous pine woods in early spring, you can probably make it out of there eating the just-emergent new tender pine needles right off the tree. Also prevents scurvy, if you're, uh, really really lost. Those and the hearts of cattails, which probably don't taste like all that much but would fill your stomach with something digestible and in some degree nutritious. (So never be without your knife to get at them.)

I can see where some people think cilantro tastes like soap, but it just doesn't go far enough in that direction to read like soap to me.

Some of you guys have the oddest dislikes. Avocado?! Couple months ago I had me the best avocado I've ever dug a spoon into: slowly slowly paperbag-ripened -- I was wondering if it ever would ripen -- until it had the slight yielding of the ripe avocado but not the squashiness of a 'cado past its peak. (Discolored avocados have lost it. Not much fun there.)

Halved, pitted, and lightly salted, it was so fresh and creamy -- it was like eating Gardevoir pussy. (Or the Firefly episode with the fresh strawberries.)

Cumin?! Good Lord. Without cumin, chili simply... isn't. And it puts depth in curry powders too -- which are at their peak made up and ground up the day they are used. It's good curry when you and the wife have been to an Indian restaurant, then make love that night, and the whole bedroom smells of curry in the morning.

Brussels Sprouts
Anise

Never went down the road of colonoscopy, so I cannot pass a judgement on that but any medecine one has to ingest is usually awful.

And I love sea food and fish.

Hard to pick just 5. I kept thinking "hey yeah, I hate that too!"

Still, I'd like to add cilantro.

I left mushrooms off because for me it's a question of texture, not really taste. Since it was tastes you hate, I went for the stuff that makes me actually want to barf if I eat it. Some of the stuff I can't even stand to smell: coconut, green peppers.

I'm going to tell Pete right now that I hate pork (I dont' really) so he can persuade me with his BBQ ribs, though! :)

scotch
licorice
celery
brussel sprouts

not in order of disgustedness:

Pickles (can't even have them touching my sandwich or potato chips ... nasty)

Coconut (allergy, even small amounts make me retch as I need to eject it from my body before damage occurs ... betcha didn't know that some of the cheaper cocoa powder mixes use coconut as a filler ingredient? ... and some chocolate covered ice cream bars and nuggets do the same thing?)

Mushrooms

Goat's Milk (never tried fresh, might be different, overpaid for a quart of the commercial stuff in the hippie aisle of my supermarket, couldn't manage it, even with chocolate syrup)

Snails (okay, I've never actually HAD snails, but I choose to dislike them on general principle)

All pickles? A sweet gherkin tastes so different than a dill that it's hard to image that you hate both.

avocados are just gross. I know lots of people like them, but they make me gag.

and cinnamon? That's a new one on me.

I don't like BBQ either. But pork makes me puke.

no, it isn't. They would be on my list if I were allowed six.

and avocados. Only I thought, well, I haven't actually tried one in so long maybe my palate has matured and I like them now, who knows?

Wait.......

Where is UG?

:lol:



and I agree with wolf about snails too.

haha, I hadn't even made it to the second page. I thought it was weird he hadn't showed up yet to criticize the avocado haters. :D

Another opportunity missed to shut the fuck up.

What are you - UnAmerican?

Oh, wait.


Seriously, though. I think you are the first person I've met who doesn't like BBQ. To each their own.

It's true that my ribs are very persuasive. http://th387.photobucket.com/albums/...ive_smiley.jpg
