Well, as one would say, whatever floats your boat or rocks your world!!
But no, you should not eat ANY seafod raw!! For health reasons. And now, when you go a restaurant to eat, you should see signs there placed at strategic locations that read;
"Please let the wait staff know if you or anyone else in your party has a food allergy."
This is so that if anyone has an allergic reaction to any of the food there, and they still knowingly eat it, it helps protect the restaurant owner from any potential lawsuits that might occur.

If okra is the least bit slimy, I won't eat it either!! Also, I won't eat slimy oatmeal either!!!

I rather like Spam. And sushi! And raw oysters!
But not slimy okra... barf!
But I don't eat at PF Chang's because of their
excessive use of salt.
Other things I won't eat (but have tried a few times
to make sure..)
Tripe. Cooked carrots unless they are cooked to death.
Plain lima beans. Most eggplant. Beets. Hominy... used to
like it, not anymore. Canned mixed peas and carrots.

Hawii eats a bunch of Spam.

Like Lee, I have it once a year or so. Oysters on the half shell Yummy!!!! Same for clams on the half shell. I do wish I could shuck oysters, clams are easy.
Never had tripe, love Shshi (Usually have Sashimi though).
I guess that I am pretty much "If you haven't tried it, don't knock it."

luv tripe, in certain dishes (soups, usually) tho would not order a slab of tripe fer dinner. gotta get used to the smell during cooking, use in not-so-generous amounts, cook properly, & 'tis a fave, here.
1 other food i cannot take is margarine. i'd rather have dry bread w/ dinner. lite yogurt, too, & trix cereal. ham is a food i'll accept if cooked in certain ways, & luv proscuitto & speck.
another- calves liver. foie gras is great, tho.

I still use margerine on occasion, but it is said to have hydrogenated vegetable oil - a form of transfat which is said to be very unhealthy for you.
A few weeks ago, I was defrosting, cleaning out and organizing the deep freezer with new wire baskets so that I can find stuff better without having to dig through everything!!!
I found a pound of oleo in there. Kept it, but have to figure out what I'm going to use it for to get rid of it.

I eat raw oysters and ceviche, although you could argue whether ceviche is cooked or not. I don't see a problem with consuming raw seafood unless you have immunity system problems.
Stuff I won't eat--bananas, prunes, syrup, marshmallows
A lot of people can't stomach tofu, but I love it in Hot and Sour Soup.

Spinach unless it is fresh picked in a salad. When it is cooked it reminds me of ensilage that you feed cows. I love SPAM and do without other things for a day if i eat it. I detest coconut in anything. Hate skim milk but have gotten used to 2%.

Bill, I may be your lost twin brother! That's my list too!
To add to our list theres a lot of "fancy" greens in salads that I have to move to the side of the plate. Looks too much like stuff I spend a lot of time and money every year trying to kill in the yard and pasture.
Slimy okra is close to the top of my list. "The only good okra is a fried okra."

I agree, Sherman. Bananas are a great source of vitamins and minerals for just a few calories. I wish that I did like them, but I just don't. The smell...gag, the texture...gag, those slimy little strings....gag
Thanx!
Not to mention that they, along with oranges and grapefuit, are an excellent source of potassium!

No raw clams for me, but raw oysters I can eat forever.
Now, that's interesting. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say that before.
Say more, Buzz. Why?

Funny I love steamed clams but could eat an oyster. Now liver as far as I'm concerned there isn't enough onions on the planet to make it taste good to me. However I will eat liver when added to other foods such as boudan or dirty rice go figure.

two things I eat but never order in a restaurant:
lobster
liver
liver, done right, is really very tasty. most people hate it so much they won't even cook it right...
prep your fired onions
calf's liver, fresh, never frozen, lightly salted/peppered
hot heavy saute pan in a bit of oil/butter
2-3 minutes first side
flip
add onions
2 minutes second side
do not over cook - that is the usual error
and overcooked, yeah - it's lousy.

I won't order Lobster out either however I do make it a couple a year at home and it must be alive when as won't touch the frozen stuff. It has become my annual birthday dinner.
As for liver I can't even walk in the house when my family is making it. The smell alone turns me off but then it also tastes to me like is smells and I won't describe it here but you all will have smelled the odor I am talking about. However as I said liver added as an ingredient in some dishes is a must have but in boudan it is boiled 1 lb of pork liver to 4 lbs of pork shoulder. Cooked with a lot of aromatics items from green onions to peppers. Then the cooked stuff is ground mixed followed by mixing with rise at which point more green onions and seasoning put into sausage casings. At that point you can boil and eat or dry and later grill, boil etc. Love the stuff especially the hot stuff version.

I once ordered a whole lobster at a seafood restaurant and had to fight with the thing to get at all the meat in the claws and laegs!!
I will NEVER order a whole lobster again!! Next time, I'll just get the tail, because the meat slides out easily!!
