And now, your least favourite food?

Anything with chillies. I once got my husband's chilli con carne in a restaurant by mistake and thought I was going to die! I actually cried!
I love custard skin. - ooh and rice pudding skin, yum.

Yes, JBF, I'd forgotten about vegetable marrow. I had an aunt who loved it as a vegetable with plain white sauce. I've never touched it since.

My mother was very fond of marrow with white sauce - why??? What was the point of covering a tasteless vegetable with a tasteless sauce?
I'm another one who can't do slimy, whether it's junket, oysters or soft boiled egg white. But I do like pie and mash with liquor - yummy

Offal. As a 6 year old in school in Malta I was made to eat liver and for ever after (through thirteen more schools as a Navy brat) I carried an 'Excused Liver' letter from my mother in my blouse pocket.
I also loathed beetroot in corn flour white sauce - yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. But I like roasted beet now.

Chicken feet - had them as part of a Dim Sum lunch once - tried sucking them - got nowhere... I can live happily without beetroot - that's about it for me.

Yes. Olives too Sra. Can't stand 'em. Or their oil. Eurgh!

Sorry. sara4

Butter beans - actually I'm not that keen on any type of bean really, I don't like the texture. I can and do eat them though.
However; tripe and onions, offal, tongue, milk puddings.......yummy, yum, yum - I love 'em!

Tripe - a north west staple in my childhood. It was served with Saturday tea, salad, cheese etc and tripe. The 4 grandparents were always with us, and loved "thrive" as grandpa called it. We children loathed it, and went without. I once asked what kind of fish it was, and when I learnt it was cows stomach, that was it, never to be persuaded even to try a taste. Yuk

Jellies eels,Cornish pasties and most savoury pies .

Goat's cheese - double yuk!

I'm allergic to shellfish and seafood, so never touch them. I don't like offal, tripe or fatty meat. With those exceptions, I love everything.

All the more for me...!

Liver and kidneys- just the smell makes me heave uncontrollably.

Not fond of fish or shellfish either- nor any offal. Makes me quite picky I guess...

Celery - can't stand the texture. Beetroot - yuk!

Meat.

I'll eat more or less everything apart from semolina or tapioca pudding - even worse with a dollop of jam in the middle.

icyalittle, I think we may have been in Malta at the same time. 1953/55?

I was an RAF brat.

Tongue, warm milk (eughhhh - especially with SKIN on), runny egg white, eels, sweetbreads, tripe, skin on custard, semolina, tapioca.....and not keen on steamed fish either!

Well, as a vegetarian, all meat and fish - the smell in particular.

But also - runny eggs, stuffed peppers (I like peppers in things, but not stuffed with yesterday's rice!) Stilton, Gorgonzola and Roquefort, Marmite, milk puddings, courgettes unless they are not slimy.

Offal, eels, mackerel and herring most other foods I can tolerate.

I detect an 'offal-y theme running here.Also a milky theme. Seems like there is not too much that we dislike really otherwise [of course, for all vegetarians the answer is going to be meat.] I forgot to say [for myself] no shellfish either.

Oh harrigran!

Offal - fabulous! Liver, heart - all very dense flavourful meat.

Mackerel - when hungry and broke, in Cornwall in the 60s. I would borrow a dinghy and go out and catch a few - ambrosia! MUST be fresh...

Eels - last ate them in Bruges, where they are very popular - served in a Provencal sauce - had seconds...

Our species has been successful partly because we were omniverous.

Very true feetle but we all have our limits.

Milk skin, tripe, beetroot and whale!
