Nasty dishes you remember
Every Thanksgiving when I was a child someone would make shrimp and pea salad with canned shrimp and peas. I was grossed out then and just thinking about it makes me queasy.

If my mother was cooking one thing, she could keep her mind on what she was doing and it would turn out pretty much OK. BUT if she was cooking more than one thing, it was a whole different story. Things would get burnt. When I would complain, she would always say "Shut up and eat it, it's not burnt, it's just browned. I would usually come back with "Black is not a shade of brown". It was at that point I was usually sent to my room without any food.
Now my wife is an excellent cook, and I eat everything she fixes. The biggest difference is that I'm not as skinny as I used to be.

after watching the food guys that travel the world and eating the traditional dishes of many country's
with out details its obvious people can and do eat any thing
so much is just based on where you grew up as to what you consider good or disgusting
my dad refused to eat and sea food like clams crabs squid basic all sea food
I told him one day the above statement I am sure the people on the coast would not care to eat possum, squirrel . groundhog and racoon as he did when younger

It was calf brains and scrambled eggs when I was a kid. Nowadays, you can't get calf brains because of mad cow. Pork brains are still available and we had a local restaurant that was locally famous for brains and eggs. Sadly, it closed.
Had fish roe and scramble out on Kitty Hawk NC once. Pretty tasty.

Have to add I hope I never reach the point of being so hungry to have to eat all the foods I currently would not consider even trying
But with creepy Joe in charge never know when hoover hogs will come back in style

S Car GO........Just how far I would not go!
If worse comes to worse, I'm pretty sure I'd get enough protein from just looking under rocks.

As I've said many times, I genuinely feel sorry for people who have irrational food aversions. There are so many delicious things out there such people will never enjoy because they rejected trying them even once. I can empathize with the first guy to eat a raw oyster and then arguing to get his friends to try one.
"Let Mikey try it." Remember that?

Rocky Raab - Shad, mullet or herring? I heard mullet isn't good but I'll at least try it.
gp52555 - Balut I will pass. Unless it's 13 days or under guaranteed. Not wanting to pick feathers out of my teeth.
montanajoe - Blood sausage I'd try even though I've been told that it tastes like a nose bleed. Now head cheese is good. I have to go to my Mexican supermarket to get my German on.
Ditch-Runner - What's a "hoover hog"? I see according to google it's an armadillo. i don't think I'll be that hungry to risk leprosy. I suppose if I caught it then I can try "long pig" as bit's o' me fell off.

Yosh, I don't recall what roe it was. Probably shad there in NC. Had fried mullet roe once and am not inclined to try again.
I get my head cheese at the AF base Commissary, right from Germany. Dayum it's good, much better than the kind I've gotten at local Mexican marts. Ditto their braunschweiger.
I'm with you on the Hoover pig. Had a chance to have some back in the Florida swamps, but declined. One of the very few things I've ever not tried.

Eastern NC fish roe and eggs is almost guaranteed to be white or american shad roe . Most herrings are deep fried till crunchy so you can eat bones and all ,not enough roe to mess with . Never heard of eating mullet roe ,but then again I am inland by about 100 miles .

This thread has reminded me how different people's tastes are.

We didn't eat them, but every once in awhile the mess cooks would crack open and drop a very rotten egg on the griddle. Not a difficult thing to do when they were cooking a couple thousand eggs with dates of more than 6 months old. Needless to say, the next 20 boots in line passed on the eggs. Semper Fi my friends.

Re: Hoover Hog, only two armadillos in South Louisiana were found to be carrying leprosy AFAIK. The meat is very similar to pork. We down here in South AR call it "Possum on the half shell"!
I have never been able to eat asparagus, can't seem to get past the smell, and my pee smells bad enough anyway!!

Jello with vegetables in it.
Never understood why carrots belonged in orange Jello.

Only thing that should be in Jell-o is Vodka.

I like carrots and I like raisins but not together

More lime Jello is sold in Utah than anywhere else. "Jello salad" is a staple here: lime with shredded carrots.
The other quintessential Utah dish is Funeral Potatoes, but that's a whole 'nuther tale...
