I can't stand this, but I will eat that!!!

[sattie]

This was something that I thought about a long time back and found interesting. There are certain foods I can't stand, but then there could be a variation of it that I do like.

For instance, I HATE peas, but I like split pea soup. Peas done in any other form or fashion I will not touch. Peas in anything but split pea soup, I dig out and discard.

Another one is ketchup... can't stand the stuff but I will eat tomatos... in fact I love them!!!

I can't stand milk, even the sight of milk makes me queasy... but I will drink buttermilk... love the stuff!!!

Share yours!

[The Tourist]

The only thing I can think of in that category is "prime rib." Perhaps I got a bad serving once, but I don't like it. Now, I'll eat steak or beef tips until they throw me out.

Oh, one other thing. I don't like redheads or candy, but I like candy red motorcycles.

[Doc]

Yeah, I guess we all have our idiocentricities.
We are close to opposites Sattie. :yum:
I don't care for peas but will eat them. I sure don't like pea soup or split pea soup.
Ketchup is okay, I'll have it on fries sometimes. I'll never have a tomato on my burger ... and will eat a tomato ..but could do without them just as easily. But ketchup and tomatoes are indeed different. Liking one does not mean you'll like the other.
I don't care for broccoli or cauliflower, but if my wife fixes them with cheese of them ummmm I like them.
I like milk. Drink some every day or two (usually with a snack) but buttermilk does not tough my lips. yuck! I like butter, and I like milk but NOT Buttermilk. :yum: :D
Good thread Sattie!!!

[sattie]

Another I thought of is peanuts/peanut butter. I like them both, but I have met folks that hate peanuts but love peanut butter. Or vice versa.

Chico, prime rib maybe one of my least favorite cuts of meat... I'm like you, maybe I have not had it served right, so I don't know a good one if it bit me in the butt!

Whats that sandwich with ham but its also French Toast? HATE that thing! Its evil! But I dont mind a ham sandwich and french toast is good too.

Tripe.... dont like that at ALL.... there HAS to be other combinations I dont care for. Give me time and I'll think of em!

[The Tourist]

Tripe.... dont like that at ALL!

Does art mimic life or life mimic art?

Of all the obtuse recipes I have ever come across, certainly "haggis" is at the top of the list. So I googled the recipe:

1 cleaned sheep or lamb's stomach bag
2 lbs. dry oatmeal
1 lb. chopped mutton suet
1 lb. lamb or venison liver, boiled and minced
2 cups stock
sheep heart and lights, boiled and minced
1 large chopped onion
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

This is the most traditional of all Scottish dishes, eaten on Burns Night (January 25th, the birthday of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, 1759-1796) and at Hogmanay (New Year's Eve). It is really a large round sausage; the skin being a sheep's paunch. The finest haggis of all is made with deer liver, served to the skirl of the pipes, cut open with a traditional 'sgian dubh' (black stocking knife) and accompanied by small glasses of neat Scotch whisky. This recipes (http://www.netcooks.com/recipes/Lamb/Haggis.html#) dates from 1856.

Now, as you'll notice, I highlighted the name of the knife, sgian dugh. Phonetically, it is more rightly pronounced "skeen dew."

The amazing part of this story and thread is that I just sold this very knife to a client this past weekend. True! I never thought that he might be a haggis afficionado!

Dear GOD!!!!! :shock: That sounds just horrible!!!! :sick:

Hey! I like onions. I dont like onions in haggis! :lol:

[joec]

Well after trying local dishes for 93 countries I sure have a long list of things I never want to eat again. With that said here is a good example in that I for one have never seen enough onions to hide the taste of liver. I can't even walk into a house if it is cooking just makes me gag. Now on the other hand I absolutely love a local rice sausage made in Louisiana called boudin. It is basically 4 lbs of pork shoulder and 1 lb of pork liver boiled down with spices, herbs and scallions. It is then ground added to rice, more scallions, herbs and spice then stuffed into sausage casing then blanched again before storing. Hot spicy taste that will clean out your head for sure but I've tasted it with out the liver and it losses something and just isn't any good. The same with dirty rice another Cajun dish that uses liver with rice. Go figure.

[The Tourist]

That sounds just horrible!!!!

Technically, haggis is placed in the realm of "sausage." And to be fair, there are numerous types of sausages that use animal intestines as casings for the minced and seasoned filler.

Having said that, I'm not sure I feel any better about haggis, or the English "blood pudding."

I will be more than happy to sell you the oddball knives it takes to slice this stuff.:yuk:

Many years ago, (more than 40, actually) when I was a very young soldier, I ate a large serving of liver. Shortly thereafter, I had "more than my share" of Scotch whiskey.

To this day, I still love Scotch whiskey, but I almost gag just at the thought of liver! ;)

Good to see you over here Locutus :thumb: I'm with you on gaging over liver. Funny though as I have the same reaction to scotch whiskey as liver. :yuk:

Welcome to Net Cooking Talk Locutus!!!! I'm glad you found us. :thumb:

I'm with you on both counts. When I was young and dumb and in the US Navy (No f-ck VA.) I had a little to much scotch and ended up in jail over a weekend. Don't ya know they served LIVER for one of the meals. YUCK!!!! I still like scotch on occasion but the smell of LIVER reminds me of jail. I hate that stuff. :D

[Locutus]

Ahhh, if ye've ne'er had Haggis, ye've ne'er lived, lads and lasses! :chef::chef:

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! ;)

Now to those of you who don't like prime rib! I'm with you completely when it comes to restaurant prime rib! For some reason, unknown to me, restaurants seem to think that prime rib is the American sushi, so they serve it raw.

I cook it at home, and it's delicious once it's cooked! :heart: I love it!

[Doc]

You are so right on the way they server Prime Rib. America's Sushi!!! What a good way of saying it. :D

How do you cook yours at home to get it just right?

Either in the oven with a meat thermometer until it hits 175-180 degrees, or I will slice it raw and cook it on the charcoal grill like a steak. :chef:

I've also seen folks slice prime rib thin and fry it in a black iron skillet that's blazing hot, but I've never had any luck with that method. Mine come out tasting, and chewing like fried round steak. :cry:

[Locutus]

This thread's too good to let die! :punk::punk:

So let me ask you about the only cheese that gags me.

"Bleu cheese"

What say you, lads and lasses??? :chef: good, or bad??? :bangin:

[joec]

Limburger cheese, can't even stand to be around someone else eating it.

[Nica]

Limburger cheese, can't even stand to be around someone else eating it.

We are in the same boat here...that stuff is awful!

[Locutus]

Limburger cheese, can't even stand to be around someone else eating it.

Is it better or worse than BLEU cheese???
:tongue:

[joec]

That and liver smell like a result of the same thing, a bad bowel movement. Just plain make me gag.

[joec]

Is it better or worse than BLEU cheese???
:tongue:

Oh if you smelled it you would think Bleu cheese is perfume. :yuk:

Love blue cheese or gorgonzola.
Limberger, not to be confused with Liederkranz, which doesn't exist anymore, NOT! Oh! That's gotta be the ripest cheese I've ever smelled!

Raisins. I love the brown ones out of a box. Put them or worse, the gold ones in anything; rice pudding, danish,
and I'll spit the whole thing out.
I don't like surprises in my food.

[TexasGirl]

I don't like tomatoes but I love ketchup and tomato soup

[lilylove]

I love raw salmon on sushi but really don't care for it cooked at all...

Love most cooked cabbage but hate really really hate and can't spell sourkrut..lol

[Calicolady]

I'm the opposite, Trish. Forgot about cabbage.
Will eat coleslaw and kraut, but not cooked, except cabbage rolls- like JoeV's.

[lilylove]

oh and I forgot to mention that I don't really like coleslaw either...lol

[homecook]

I love lima bean soup but don't serve me lima beans as a side dish. Yuck!
I love banana pie, banana pudding but don't give me a banana just to eat..........it makes me gag. (get you're mind out of the gutter)

:yum: No gutters here dear lady! :whistling:

Actually, hamhocks and dang nigh any kinda beans!

[joec]

Yes I keep a couple both natural and smoked in my freezer just for the bean dishes.

[Calicolady]

Next time you make italian tomato sauce, add a smoked hock to it. Amazing!

[Locutus]

Haven't tried that yet, but it sounds wonderful! :thumb:

[joec]

I might just try that Calico though it never crossed my mind. Italians really don't do a lot of smoking of meats but do cure a lot with other methods.

[Calicolady]

I didn't try it til I moved down here and was here for a couple of years. I guess the south (Fl - not Sicily) is finally wearing off on me alittle.
But I still ain't eatin black-eyed peas! And that be that!

[suziquzie]

Eggs..... but not as bad as I used to be.

The only way I would eat them was in a cake or cookies...

Now I will eat them but only covered with other stuff to drown them out..... like an omlette overly filled and covered with stuff, or scrambled with cheese and salsa.
but NEVER will I eat plain scrambled or fried or poached or anything plain egg.

[JoeV]

I love raw salmon on sushi but really don't care for it cooked at all... Same here. Don't like baked salmon, no matter how good it's supposed to be for you. Love Lox with my bagels & cream cheese. On our last cruise I ate so much Lox every morning that my skin smelled like it. :yum: Must have eaten 1/2 pound every morning...love it. Call me smokey...

Well I was born and raised in Miami Florida myself and now live in Kentucky. Oh and I love black eye peas actually make a pretty good black eye pea salad to serve cold. Here is the recipe if you feel adventures.

Marinated Blackeye Peas

1 can (15.8 ounces) BUSH'S BEST Blackeye Peas, rinsed and drained
1 chopped red bell pepper (can be roasted type in oil)
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon salad oil ( I use extra virgin olive oil )
1 tablespoon vinegar (balsamic)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (Mircle Whip is my choice)
1 teaspoon dijon mustard (or any good dark whole grain mustard)
1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash cayenne pepper (optional)
1 small can of Diced tomatos with green chilis (Rotel tomatoes)
1 or 2 drops Tabasco to taste (optional)

Rinse and drain Best Blackeye Peas and diced tomatoes. Add chopped celery, red bell pepper, jalapeno and onion. Combine oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, salt and cayenne. Mix well. Pour over peas. Stir gently. Allow to chill in refrigerator several hours or overnight.

The optional items are just that as I like it with some heat which many can't handle. The Rotel tomatoes are not hot at all even with the chili peppers in it.

[sattie]

Amen to that!!! Ever since I have had salmon sushi style, I can't even stand the smell of it cooked. DAMN that sushi.... actually anything that I have eaten as sushi, I will not eat cooked.

[GreenWannabe]

I can't drink buttermilk or eat yogurt - I literally gag. But I love real Southern cornbread, anything fried using buttermilk to make the batter, frozen yogurt, etc., etc., etc. Best pie I ever put in my mouth was Buttermilk Pie, from Country Kitchen west of College Station, Texas, back in the mid-60s.

Joe, your recipie for black eye pea salad sounds really good. I'm going to have to try that one, and soon.

Fred

[joec]

I actually got the original recipe which I've added a bit to for my personal tastes off of a Bush can years ago. The recipe has grown over the years to go from a single tomato to Rotel tomatoes, balsamic replace the red wine vinegar, olive oil replace vegetable oil, celery seed replaced by diced celery and added roasted red peppers to the mix. I also add the optional hot things as I love hot foods.

[smoke king]

I can't stand Mushrooms, but when I was younger, we used to get a particular variety of them that...........you know what-never mind...:oops:

[joec]

Funny as a kid I hated mushrooms today I love them and can't get enough.

[High Cheese]

I can't stand cilantro. I'll deal with it if it's cooked in something though. I love cabbage, spinach, Brussels sprouts, etc.

[homecook]

I can't stand Mushrooms, but when I was younger, we used to get a particular variety of them that...........you know what-never mind...:oops:
