Gross food

[vraiblonde]

I think that will be my NY resolution: I will no longer pretend to enjoy food that is disgusting, but considered a delicacy.

Escargot, I'm talking to you.

You too, oysters.

Oh, and calimari? ... ... I guess you're okay, since you're battered and deep fried. But no more spiders, I'll just eat the rubber bands.

But caviar, you are definitely out of here.

I've already made my stand against organ "meat" and other garbage that's supposed to be in dog food and not for human consumption. Now it's time to take my food snobbery to the next level.

Bite your tongue! It's got circus and peanuts - a party in your mouth. How can you not like that?

The only way to ruin an oyster is to cook it.

That stuff tastes like axle grease.

Organ meat is often very nutritious, offering vitamins and minerals in addition to protein. The muscle meat is the generally among the least nutritious areas of the animal you can consume.

Scrapple

I've never tried scrapple and I never will. Seeing it made was enough for me.

Although I've been seeing those packs of Taylor pork roll in grocery stores forever and have never had the desire to give it a shot. I mean...pork roll Ew. But Monello made some awhile back for breakfast and it was quite delicious.

Gross is subjective.

I love escargot. Oysters are hit and miss. I have to be in the mood. I never liked calamari until I had it made well. I love haggis, and usually scarf up some of the extra. I love a good caviar, but you can be put off it by eating some crappy stuff.
I also love boiled peanuts, which gross some people out. Or fried okra, or any number of southern foods. My favorite fish is catfish.

Gross, to me, is stuff like

Hot Dogs
Chicken nuggets
fast food burger patties
margarine
tofu - or anything tofuey for that matter
Velveeta
anything no or low fat
gamey meats (but I'd take the plunge if I were hungry enough)
chicken feet, pigs feet, that brainy looking stuff, tongue...again, if I were starving, I'd probably eat a lot of things that I find gross, but I'm not starving.

I don't know what circus peanuts are.

 

[RPMDAD]

Circus Peanuts from Wikipedia.
Circus Peanuts are peanut-shaped marshmallow candy. They date to the 19th century, when they were one of a large variety of unwrapped "penny candy" sold in such retail outlets as five-and-dime stores.
