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 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.

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!!!

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!

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 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!

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.

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

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!

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:

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.
