I love all vegetables except for okra, all fruit except for figs, all herbs except for coriander.

I hate sago, tapioca and semolina pudding which remind me of school dinners and I hate the very thought of eating dead animals

PS: Just read sweetcakes comment, I've never tried tripe and I must admit, the look of it does put you off. Forgot to say, I've eaten brains in Greece and one of my families favourites still today is lambs hearts stuffed with sage and onion. When I was in Thailand there was a street stall selling deep fried insects, must admit I did consider it, momentarily, just to be able to say I'd done it, but bottled out, thank god

Evie64 Sun 14-Jun-20 21:40:21

I am very adventurous when it comes to food and will try anything once. I've eaten all sorts of weird and wonderful things, ostrich, crocodile, sea urchins etc. However, I'm not keen on peas and I detest broad beans and butter beans.
