Poll: Any foods you've tried and regretted? Me: some Chinese foods, such as stuffed oysters, beef lips, mystery meat.

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Jul 9 '10, 19:55

Also, some Africa starchy foods. I used to think I could eat any vegetable and be ok with it. Not so much, it turns out. I had some starches like taro root and cassava, and the texture was horrid.

Responses:

nothing I can think of. I have to be more adventurous eating out -- nm - peglegpete Jul 9, 20:16

I can't immediately recall any that I've "tried and regretted", but there are some that I no longer like because of bad experiences. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:06 1
- when I say "regretted", I mean I had to go out and eat something else immediately just to keep it down. - loosilu Jul 9, 20:07
Can't think of anything I've tried that I wouldn't eat again...except the avocado (and I actually loved avo for many years) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 20:06 1
- anyone who can eat vegemite can handle pretty much anything -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 20:22
fried chicken gizzards. -- nm - TFox Jul 9, 20:02 1
- stewed okra. -- nm - TFox Jul 9, 20:03
mango margaritas. - kelly Jul 9, 20:00
olives - chuckles Jul 9, 20:00 5
- Loser! -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 20:05
- what the hell is wrong with you?!?! -- nm - 'lia Jul 9, 20:01 1
  - we've all been asking that for years. - loosilu Jul 9, 20:05
- I'm with ya on this one. Olives are *vile*. -- nm - kelly Jul 9, 20:00
- I'm seeing you in a whole new light. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:00
nothing stands out. I'd rather not have eaten the whale blubber, but I wouldn't say I regret it. -- nm - mafic Jul 9, 19:59 3
- oh HEY - I wonder if that's what it WAS -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 20:00 2
  - doesn't sound like it. whale blubber is kind of like super-greasy chewing gum. -- nm - mafic Jul 9, 20:03 1
    - yeah, the gray chinese dim sum stuff I had was more like meat jam. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:06
I don't know what it was - because it was in a dim sum place in China Town, San Francisco - but it was grey colored and gelatenous - it wriggled oddly - JenBro Jul 9, 19:57 8
- I think that's the thing I ate. Afterwards, we had to go to a Vietnamese bakery. I had to eat something baked - loosilu Jul 9, 20:00 7
  - I BET you it's whale blubber -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 20:01 6
    - my guess is some kind of fermented soy bean derivative. -- nm - mafic Jul 9, 20:06 4
      - I've seen balls of pastry with grey goo inside it at dim sum places, can't bring myself to even contemplate eating it. - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:08 2
        
        don't. trust me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:08 1
        
        but it was a sesame pastry (golden) on the outside -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:12
      - oh no, it was meat. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:07
    - I bet whale blubber would have been far better. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:01
most any meat. including the grouse, bear, deer, elk, and alligator i've tried. - kare Jul 9, 19:57
I've tried various types of sushi several times and I just don't like it at al. - Callisto Jul 9, 19:56 10
- Sushi is just awesome. Love it love it love it. Salmon is my favorite. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 20:03 1
  - yellowfin tuna. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:08
- I can do sushi if it's fish. Anything else is questionable. No squid for me, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:01 7
  - I actually like octopus sushi more than (most) fish sushi ... - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:03 6
    - ack!!! I cannot stand octopus. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:09 5
      - My sushi place gets baby octopus for me. It's one of my favorite foods -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 20:11 4
        
        The wedding is OFF. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:12 3

        He's helping win the fight against psychic cephalopods ... he's a god-damned american hero! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:14 1
