What would you NEVER eat?

[PennySludt]

I'm wondering what is something you would NEVER eat, or something you've eaten but never would again?

For me, I don't think I could ever face eating tripe. Just...no....And maybe sweetmeats sweetbreads^? too....and brains.....yeah, no....

[ErisXfrost]

I think i'll go with Penny on this one. xD

I don't think i'll be having tripe again, anytime soon.

[Beguile's Mistress]

I've smell tripe cooking.  That immediately turned on my abhorrence for it.  I would never knowingly eat organ meats of any kind.

[Phantomhive]

Trip. Haggis. Liver. Brains. I agree with everyone who spoke of offal it is only good enough to feed my dog and cat.

[The Dark Raven]

Chitlins, and other assorted offal.

[AmberStarfire]

Mushrooms, as and when they can be avoided.

Soya milk.

Black/blood pudding.

Tripe sounds kind of horrible, so yeah no thanks.

Mountain oysters also.

And real oysters.

[Phantomhive]

Fugu no matter how experienced the chef is I wouls NEVER run the gauntlet with death.

[Kakihara]

Mushrooms.  It's as much a texture as a taste thing.  Just nope.

Insects.  Yeah, I scream like a little girl just having them near me, putting them in my mouth... NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Oreo]

Okra, and papaya = slimefood, and waxfruit.

[shasha]

HI I would never eat myself :) ok maybe if I am a week into starvation. then maybe

[Nico]

Animals or animal products.

[SmokingCamels]

I can't eat mushrooms because I am allergic to them.  But... aside from stuff that isn't actually considered food (like brains) not counting, and sticking to the topic of actual food.  Anchovies and Sardines. 

But.  More than most things that end up on my list of, "I won't touch that crap, let alone put it in my mouth and swallow" is...

DRUM ROLL

Miracle Whip!   <--- Some of the grossest stuff I've ever tasted.

It must be Duke's.  If it isn't Duke's, then damnit, get some BBQ sauce or something.  If you absolutely have too, Hellman's is acceptable.  In an emergency.  But it's Duke's Mayo FTW.  Anyone who says otherwise is Blaspheming. 

[Emphatic Enigma]

If anyone gets mushrooms they don't want, feel free to pass them this way! I love mushrooms.

I would never eat something -alive- , I mean like, eating it while it's living and breathing. The very thought makes me shudder.
Raw meat / fish is also something I won't generally eat unless I'm in a situation where I feel I have to be very polite. ;p

[Angelic Kitten]

Anything that looks like a bug

>.<

ick.

[Oreo]

Anything that looks like a bug

>.<

ick.

O.o No gummy worms?

[Stella]

Mussels. I tried them, even though I don't take to any seafood. They weren't as awful as I thought they would be but I'll never eat them again. It might have something to do with the way we ate them - using their shells as chopsticks. *shudders*

[SmokingCamels]

That's interesting.  I've never actually eaten mussels, but having to slurp them from shells like oysters, eh.  Gross.  Even shells like chopsticks are gross in my head.

I could never go complete Vegan.  My species did not rise to the top of the food chain to not eat meat.

[CottonKitty]

Tiết canh - Vietnamese Blood Pudding

[Bandit 600]

I really cannot think up anything I would not try once, though having had mushrooms a few times, they are of the devil.

[SapphireStar]

Smelts: Just no.

Calamari: Tried it once, thought it was good till I was told what it was. Never ate it again.

Liver and Onions: Nope.

Odd flavored jellybeans. The ones JellyBelly puts out for Harry Potter like Earwax, Popcorn, etc. I like jellybeans but not ones that taste like earwax.

[Eikichi]

Slugs.
Haggis.

[RedRose]

Was thinking bugs and that poisoned fish... fugu?

[SapphireStar]

Popcorn flavored ice cream. I like a lot of different flavored ice cream, but, yeah, no.

[drummer2006jk]

Mushrooms. The smell and the taste of them...it's just nasty. Especially cooked mushrooms as those almost always want to make me throw up.

Hominy: First time I saw it and didn't know what it was. My dad told me that it tasted like corn. Yeah I know that hominy is a corn product, but my eleven year old mind was screaming "That Is Not Corn!" when I first tasted hominy.

[Chi]

Jellied moos nose. Tried it at a pow-wow I went to with hubby. His cousin told me it was a delicacy and was delicious. Nasty, just nasty.

[Harley Quinn]

Animals.

[Despairs]

Human beings.

[Csharynn]

Liver, cow's foot, pig lips. The list is endless.

[Despairs]

The testicles of other animals or human beings.

[AmberStarfire]

Black pudding/blood pudding/blood sausage

It's a common Irish breakfast food. I tried it and didn't like it (especially after reading up on how it's made) so I avoid it. I do however like white pudding (the bloodless variety).

[Despairs]

Raw uncooked fish. (What does white pudding taste like?)

[AmberStarfire]

It's hard to describe. Not that different to normal sausages I guess but with a mealier consistency and it tastes a bit nicer. It usually comes in a plastic-wrapped roll. You cut it into slices and usually fry it. I cook mine on foil in the oven, with a bit of olive oil so it doesn't stick. It's nice and I like making breakfast sandwiches out of it (with tomato sauce/ketchup).

[Despairs]

(It doesn't sound bad.) I would never eat a snake.

[Rhedyn]

Jellied eels. We used to buy them for my Grandad when he was alive as he loved them. I can't even look at them without feeling like I want to vomit.

[Despairs]

(May your grandfather rest in peace. Sorry for your loss.) I would never eat possum.

[Csharynn]

Casu Marzu.

[A Big Unknown]

Czernina (a Polish soup which is basically duck's/goose's blood with water and seasoning. Yuck!)

[Nico]

Meat

[Mnemosyne]

Food coloring. (( I tried it once before out of curiosity... dyed my mouth black. Not tasty at all. Would not recommend. Unless you really can't help yourself. ))

[SmuttyReader]

Anything that ends with berry and kiwis.

[whimsy]

muffins made with unicorn blood

[Mnemosyne]

Snails. No, definitely no.

[whimsy]

a live scorpion

[dhalim]

jellied animal parts of any kind

[Piper]

That "seafood salad" stuff with whole baby octopus and slimy other yucky stuff

[SmuttyReader]

Gizzards and Livers! It's a Texas/Southern thing.

[Trigon]

A roadkill skunk

[Knightshadow]

Pickles.
It's my kryptonite.

[whimsy]

my dog

[Alhanna]

Oh gosh. Um. Brussel sprouts, pickles, mushrooms, most seafood, sour flavored food....

[whimsy]

A painting

[Warlock]

Surströming, a Swedish *shudder* delicacy.

Vegemite. Never. Again.

[Blythe]

Seconding Vegemite. *shudders* So awful.

[DealWithTheDevil]

Mushrooms, Vegemite, or Pickled Pigs Feet (at least not again...)

[AmberStarfire]

I like Vegemite. I grew up eating that as a kid. It has memories attached. :)

[Dez]

Macaroni and Cheese

[Despairs]

Snake, goat testicles, dogs and cats. Yes, there are people that eat cats.

[gaggedLouise]

"Beef" (or whatever you'd call it) made of insects. No thanks - there has to be better ways of solving the problem of feeding the world than grubbing cakes of grasshoppers and ants.  >:(

[MariaPosa]

Shrimp because I'm allergic, and plantains because I hate the way they looked cooked.

[Rated F]

I would never eat the collected splat books of DnD 3.5

[Irisa]

I never want to have hákarl again.  It's and Icelandic adventure.  It's putrefied shark.  Imagine soaking cube of some sort of firm light colored meat in ammonia for a few month, then eating it. 

I won't eat factory farmed animals.  If you hunt down Bambi, I'll eat some of him, but I wont eat his genitals. 

[Anesa]

Rattlesnake

[Kia]

Organ anything - I do manage liver now and then. But there is something about the taste and texture of gizzards, kidneys and hogshead cheese that is blehhhhhh.

I was also asked to help write an insect cookbook a while back. The results were ... interesting. While I am open minded to some insects (chocolate ants are tasty), I do have to draw a line at steamed tarantula and fried cockroaches.

[Jeric]

When I was in Thailand I had squid from a vendor off the street. I gave me the worst digestive problems the next day at the airport going to India.

Never eating food from a street vendor in Thailand again.

[Tanken Sai]

Never eating. Chitterlings. No matter how they hate prepared. I know what they are , not doing.

[Trigon]

I would never eat a ghost pepper ever again. Tried it once and it felt like hell on earth...

[phoenix80]

Animal brains/eyes/testicals etc. I know they aren't harmful to humans but I don't see how they'd be meant to be eaten. Oh, and anything that's still alive on my plate.

[whimsy]

Powdered elephant tusks.

[Samael]

Mushrooms.
I just can't stomach them.

[Lady Shadow]

I agree with not eating tripe and mushrooms, no one should ever eat fungus. But for me it would have to be Caviar, Raw fish eggs just doesn't sound right, whether or not its a delicacy.

[Beej]

Glass

[Lady Shadow]

Dust bunnies *cough cough*

[King Pudding]

Bananas, keep them the hell away from me!

[Lady Shadow]

Caviar, yeah its a delicacy but get the hell outta my way with that!

[Csharynn]

Pudding and jello.

[freakula86]

deep fried bugs no thanks

[Trigon]

Butter on a Stick

[WordSmith]

Pickles, of course.

[Nico]

Meat

[CassieBear]

Lasagna.

[Queen Cuppy]

Mushrooms, the texture is horrendous and makes me want to gag, bleh!

[Story Tale]

The biggest piece.

[RainyHigh]

One thing I'll never eat again... crab legs. Found out as a teen... I'm very allergic to shellfish. :( It was soo tasty tho.

[Inkidu]

Tea, the only food so far to actually make me gag.

[RainyHigh]

Another thing I'll never eat again... some salsa verde from one of a specific restaurant that made my tongue go numb for nearly an hour. Love their chimi's tho!

[CassieBear]

Mushrooms, the texture is horrendous and makes me want to gag, bleh!

I'm with you there.

Another one for me is avocado.

[Nico]

Anything too spicy. My stomach would throw a fit.

[Azy]

Oysters.  Nothing slimy or rubbery for me thanks. 

[AmberStarfire]

I agree with some of the others posting. No oysters, mushrooms, tripe, caviar etc. Also no rabbit or duck (ever).

I will eat foods that have mushrooms in them, but I do my best to pick them out. :)

[vysethethird]

Hmm, besides Jello, hard to say what else to include here that wouldn't cause more issues.

[solkar]

hakarl

[RedRose]

ANYTHING STILL ALIVE !!

[Hexx]

+1 Oysters. Just uh, can't get over the texture thing I guess.

I have to agree with the post above, anything alive is also a big nope.

You know the one thing I'm really just never even going to try is super mature cheese. I was watching a TV programme on food and there was this type of cheese that was illegal to sell because they let maggots form in it and oh my goodness, respect to anyone who tried that but nooooo. That one stuck with me. xD

[Endorphin]

I have to agree with the post above, anything alive is also a big nope.

+1

[JosephTheBat]

Tripe meat

(I love animals too much.)

[RainyHigh]

After watching a particular episode of a specific show.
A live octopus.
Or any octopus. :(

[JosephTheBat]

Fried chocolate (ugh  ;D )

[Lovely Complex]

Oysters, anything with eyeballs, caviar, and that's about it.

I'm a foodie but not into everything...

[LunarMoon]

Peas. I just can't do the texture of them, ya know? And the flavor... Has never really been my favorite lol.
Oh, and yogurt! Just haven't been able to find a flavor or brand that I really like-- doesn't help that I'm limited to dairy-free/lactose free ones either, though. :c

[Conqueeftador]

Anything that is alive or moving. Utterly disgusting.

[aqua]

Chitlins

[Kurogane]

Pickles

[Olissia]

Liver....

[RainyHigh]

Ghost pepper.

[Araedrel]

I would never eat:

Shellfish of any kind- deathly allergic. I'm talking insta hives, followed by anaphylactic shock.

Avocado- It's the texture. The taste is fine. Guacamole falls under avocado because made from it and looks gross

Tofu- eww slimy.

Chitlins, liver, eyes, ears, snouts, tails, feet.. NO.

[Olissia]

Agree with all of this completely.

[Cheka Man]

Sauces-uggrh.
Veal-because making it is horrible for animals.

[Nico]

Meat.

[WiCk3d]

Live squid!!!!

[Lyrical]

kimchi

I know it's popular and I'm sure there are good varieties of it but I can't get past the smell of all the local stuff. It smells like sewer water.

[Ozolosterna]

Casu Martzu (maggot-infested cheese from Sardinia, Italy).

[Stella]

Anything with tentacles.

[Lyrical]

cooked spinach...

it's fine raw in my salad but when it's cooked it's just slimy and gross

[DragonflyAlice]

I will never eat deer meat. This is because when I was little and had just watched Bambi, my step dad gave me some and as it was in my mouth, he said I was eating Bambi. As a small child that really messed me up! So mean! I spit it out and had a meltdown.

[RainyHigh]

Probably puffer fish; I'm too chicken.

[Nico]

Too spicy food. I love it, my stomach doesn't.

[RedRose]

We ate Ethiopian yesterday. This morning a kid and I were sick.

[CaptainErotica]

Natto (Japanese fermented beans).

I know it is super healthy but I cannot get past the smell (baby poo) and the look (a runny nose).

[MoonWolf]

sushi

no thank you

[RainyHigh]

Fish eyes. Just... I can't. XD

[Beguile's Mistress]

Macaroni and cheese

[Shekinah]

Meat and Fish

[Lyrical]

insects, i don't care if they are dipped in chocolate

[Lady Shadow]

Vegetables. Yuck!

[LemonMelon]

insects, i don't care if they are dipped in chocolate

Same, and the idea of eating animals whole in itself is revolting; I don't know if people ever thought much about that. Even insects have bowels...

[RedRose]

Now they're putting in some food. I'm NOT buying that this is repulsive. I'd have to be starving.

[FashionDaniel]

Insects! I'm such a wuss but thinking about eating insects makes my skin crawl.

[Beguile's Mistress]

Most of the food in this place!  ;D

[Trigon]

Monkey brains, which is apparently a delicacy in some areas of Africa.

[Silvered Sutures]

Ass.

[RedRose]

Same. I'll write it for MM and I'm ok with my f character receiving it but irl??

[Silvered Sutures]

Human faces

[varjue]

There's a lot of things I would try and I'd generally be very open to eating, especially when it comes to cultural exchange- but I can't eat bugs. I can't do it. It does crazy stuff to my brain. Kudos to those who do though. o7

[Spillthebees]

liver

[WanderingBlackDragon]

I wouldn't eat Deer meat, organ meat, or anything with cilantro in it.

Seriously, whoever came up with Cilantro needs to be tried for war crimes!

[Starling]

I second the deer meat. Also lamb. Chocolate that has either caramel or bits of fruit/raisins in it (strawberry jam/yogurt filling is fine though). Why would you ruin perfectly good chocolate?! Heathen. /j (But seriously, not my thing.)

[Top Cat]

Jalapeños. When I was younger, they'd cause me to throw up. I know this, because a coworker at a pizza joint I worked at slipped some under the cheese on a personal lunch pizza of mine.

I have a sterner stomach these days (and can handle hotter foods, too), but the overall flavor, plus the memories, makes this one food item that I will never voluntarily eat.

[BeliallMorningstar]

Surströmming

[RainyHigh]

Balut.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but I just ... no.

[Temptress69]

Sauerkraut...absolutely not. When I was younger I did a blind taste test with my classmates. One of the items was sauerkraut. As soon as it touched my tongue I completely spit it right back out. Most disgusting thing I've ever had in my mouth.

[Stablery]

Nervous tissue. Prions are scary AF.

Imagine that you eat something today. Years from now, you'll start noticing small things. And then the battery of tests will begin, and the symptoms will get worse, and if you're lucky, they'll soon be able to tell you that the issue is that your proteins are folding in an odd way, and that because of that, your body is slowly degrading.

No, thank you. I'm an adventurous eater. I'll try most things, but nothing that is derived from the nervous system. Not worth it, in my opinion.

[Top Cat]

Cinnabon. I had a roommate who worked for them, and brought unsold cinnamon rolls home almost every night. I have a sweet tooth, but after a month of that, I'm never going to touch their overly-sweetened, low-quality garbage again.

[RperSeeker69]

I would never eat caviar, crab, Hagis, Indian Food, just nothing too spicy I think for me. Far as fishfood I have eaten but likely wouldn't do again is fish...the smell got to me, lol
