Food What would you not eat?

I was wondering that since there are so many different kinds of food that can be made, is there a food that you would never try, because just the thought of what it is makes you skin crawl.
For instance in Spain (i think) they cook bull's testicles after the bull has been killied. I know some people that freak out about the thought eating that.
I myself would never be able to bring myself to eat sheep's eyeballs (i think this is done in Turkey, but please correct me if i'm wrong). The thought that something used them to see and then i'm about to eat thim just put's me off.

I was wondering what makes you stomach churn at the thought of eating something like this?

 

Hmm... Tripe (cow's stomach lining), gizzards and/or hearts (which I don't like the consistency of - I do like liver), eyeballs, brains, feet. (But I make a distinction between feet and ankles! XD Mm, hamhocks...)

I'd also never voluntarily eat any predatory animal (cats, dogs, etc. as well as wild predators). I'm too acclimated to seeing the domesticated ones as friends, not food. Herd animals and prey species have evolved in the "food" role, so the idea of eating them doesn't bother me too much; it's natural. I dunno. I'm not entirely happy with that justification, but I couldn't see myself eating the meat of a mammalian or avian predator. They're too much like my pets.

One thing that I actually have to struggle to eat is eggs. ^^; You know, eggs cooked so that they're still fairly identifiable, not eggs in bread or something. I find the idea a little bit gross, even if I can't justify that to myself. Besides, have you ever really looked at an uncooked egg? :x Especially when they have a little bloodspot or something in them. Eeeeeeew.

 

There's something about biting into a big juicy eyeball that just turns me off for some reason :dizzy:
After what I heard yesterday, I think fast food might be on the list of 'foods I don't eat'. I have a friend who works at a certain popular fast food restaurant (let's call it 'M' lol) and she found a deep fried RAT in one of the fryers they cook the fries in. She didn't know how long it had been there or even if they had served anyone the chips from that deep fryer. Her guess is probably yes though. The entire staff got rorted about sanitation, hygiene etc and also sworn to secrecy. Which no-one took seriously :anime:
I'm no vegetarian, but I just don't like the idea of eating organs like brain and liver.

 

A two-dollar hooker on a New York City corner with a green wig, black lipstick and fishnet stockings, a cheap cigar between her lips, hairy legs, and an infected arm from shooting heroin. Would never eat h--... oh wait... I mean.. uhh... brussel sprouts... yeah... brussel sprouts...

 

Sounds like an urban legend to me. I've heard that story MANY times, and somehow I think that if it really happened with such frequency, these fast food chains would all be out of business... XD

But yeah, I don't eat fast food either. Heavily processed meat grosses me out, considering there's no way to identify what it originally was. I almost never eat sausage or anything that's been processed and reformed - like burger patties at cheap restaurants. XP

But I've had an ostrich burger before. Wasn't half bad. It tasted like a cross between turkey and beef.

EDIT: What about insects? Yum, protein. I've eaten a live mealworm.

 

frog's legs. i don't mind snails (i've had them before - YUM!!) but the very idea of eating some creatures means of mobility when the rest of the body might still need it...too gross... :sad:

 

hmmm wut i wouldnt eat.. well.. i love to eat but there are certain stuff i dun like... umm weird stuff like rats, etc u noe wut i mean.. well i dun like those stuff.. really nasty not that ive tasted them before but because it is weird to eat them.. but ive there was only that to eat i guess ill eat so i wont starve.. yup.. i wouldnt eat ...poop??? lol.. ewww...
well .. thats about it... any green stuff yeah.. expect for insects i would never eat insects
misao

 

mm. definitely not meat, GO VEGGIES! and definitely not fast food ever, especially since after super size me, delicous- or not...

 

Hey, I eat tripe and liver! Tripe isn't so bad, as long as it was cleaned properly and served hot. There's one food called dinardaraan made from chopped up, blood-covered beef that I don't like. Tastes similar to liver, and has a gritty, dirty feeling to it. (cuz the blood is all dried up into brown, gritty mush) However, it doesn't make me throw up like when I eat crab organs, hahaha! There are other Asian foods I wouldn't eat, but I don't know the English names to them.

 

Come to think of it the last time that i tried to eat Wasabi i nearly choked on it. Is it always supposed to taste like petrol?

 

No, it isn't. *likes wasabi*

I thought of something else I wouldn't eat... Human placenta. :x Some people actually do eat that, but the idea completely grosses me out. Same for eating any kind of animal fetus - I realize it's basically all just meat, and if a pregnant cow/sheep/goat is slaughtered for meat it's kind of silly to waste the fetus... but... ew...

 

I would eat anything that I dont know whats actually in there. See if the testicles of a cow were made and it looked good and i didnt know it was actually cow testicles...of course i would eat it.

 

Even though I love to eat, I'm very picky so if I named off all of the things I wouldn't eat, I'd be here for a very long time so I'll just say a couple things.

Sea Food...I hate sea food with a pasion.
Bugs...Eeeew. -__-;;

 

There's a lot of things i won't eat. The wall for instance. For i'm picky and childish. In things that are labelled as actual food to other people will shorten the list quite a bit. I won't eat bugs, seafood *except shrimp*, and spinach...there's prolly more...but...bleh

 

ld probably eat some bugs if i needed to.(ants, moths, etc.) they are about the most nutritious thing out there. i wouldnt eat the nastier ones(flies, roaches, etc.) unless absolutely neccesary. i also wouldnt eat my toes.

 

Fried fish and Rice-aroni (sp?). At my self sick of those one day and can't even stand the smell of either (makes me nausious).

What else now: anything that is alive for one, hard boild eggs, snails (likea 3 inch long living booger) or any of the disgusting bugs (roaches, locusts & c.) No way would I even consider eating this stuff. Even if I was hungry, i'll boil and chew on some tree roots instead :catgirl:.

 

Cats (I can't, I LOVE kitties!), dogs, spare animal parts, raw turnip, balogna, worms: they're disgusting.
