Food Hell

I have to mentally block out the frilly bits when eating mussels. The frilly bits just look wrong.

I've not tried fresh oyster yet, just doesn't look appetising to me.
I've had it fried in tempura which was really nice though.

I was going to say I never tried oysters but looking at some food photos i took....I did. But i don't remember what they taste like.

Do you even really taste them, as afaik you are supposed to neck them?

Always thought they looked slimy.

Mushrooms, liquorice, anything with ginger and most types of seafood.

@m@rty I can't stand seafood either. Only really like white fish. I'm a bit crap when it come to food from the sea/water.

Pretty much the same here. Seafood like prawns, oysters, mussels etc is a no go.

I did try lobster once though and it was actually very nice!

I bet you like big mussels and big cockles.

I have a rule not to eat anything that looks like a vulva, including vulvas.

Beetroot - may as well eat a handful of wet soil

I have and will eat raw oysters, they are better with a dash lemon juice or vinegar.

Admittedly I am on the fence on whether I actually enjoy the experience.

On the other hand deep fried they are bloody gorgeous.

Kiwi fruit can do one

Fish I want to like but struggle with, it doesn’t always sit right for me.

Not a fan of offal really, but it’s probably more the memories of my mum over cooking liver (or most meat really).

I’ll try most things at least once though.

I think the problem with offal is it's often liked by the generation who want to cook/boil everything to death so cook it like that for younger people.

It usually can be very good but does need to be preapred properly, I went to an Izakaya style Yakitori place, where they grill everything over coals. Chicken hearts were the best thing on the menu imo.

Kidney and Liver for me and the only fish I dislike is Salmon.

The only other thing that makes me wanna vomit is Branston pickle.

I love the taste of kiwi fruit but it makes my mouth hurt for some reason. Same with fresh pineapple

That sounds like an allergy to me!
