What is the most fantastic food you loathe?

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not sure if it's 'fantastic' or not but courgettes. I've seen what happens to cucumbers when they go soft and they turn into courgettes, I'm sure of it.

― Tom, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quiche. Even the smell of it makes me feel nauseous. I can't understand why, people tell me it is merely egg and pastry - both of which I like. Ugh.

I've made it to the bottom of the stats c*ck. Woo!

― Sarah, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quiche is disgusting though I'm not sure it qualifies as being fantastic.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quiche is smashing, it is my new favourite thing to eat when drunk (after KFC) and you can tell if I got home drunk the night before because there are quiche crumbs all over the sofa.

― Emma, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

As in everybody else loves but I can't stand? Hm. Olives. Olive oil I have no problem with, though.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All fruit, with the occasional exception of bananas. I are SCURVY BOY!

― DG, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quiche is fine, its like a big baked omelette. The food I hate the most has to be Fish. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, I hate having to fucking dissect something before I eat it. It's for this reason I don't mind Shellfish, Prawns Mussels, etc, but I fucking hate other fish. As for what I eat when I'm drunk, batter burgers.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ginger - especially the ginger you find at the side of your sushi dish. YUCKY!

― nathalie, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm with Ronan on the fish thing. The only form of fish that I actively seek out is sushi/sashimi. Baked/broiled/fried fish is VERY DUBIOUS.

Ned, the easiest way to culitvate a taste for olives is to start drinking gin martinis. The flavor of a gin-soaked olive is FANTASTIC.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Onions. If I eat anything with onions in I retch. Which is unfortunate, as you wouldn't believe how many meals include onions as some kind of major component of the dish. Like, for a start, which fucking idiot decided that onions should be the most important ingredient of a pizza after the dough, tomato and cheese? In the order leaflet for Domino's and countless other pizza places it's onions this, onions that. I once saw a leaflet which had onion as the first topping for almost every single pizza they had. Oddly, I don't mind Pickled Onion Monster Munch. I suppose it's because it tastes so artifical there's no real onioniness about it, it's more like a super sharp version of salt and vinegar.

Also eggs. As an ingredient for something, fine, but on its own, ack! Revolting. And I must say I fully support everyone who loathes quiche.

― Croooooow, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan, you lush, if I want alcohol, I'll drink alcohol! ;-)

Eggs and quiche are good things. You crazy people.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I so have NO problems with eggs. Quiche is an unholy mutation YUCK YUCK YUCK.

However, I love Dan even more for sharing the same attitude towards fish that I have. Cooked fish is... well...ooookaaaaay... but sashimi is absolutely yum pop. I also love onions. Why do people insist on cooking them, they SO much better RawXor. ROOORR-OOORRR.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't abide peanut butter. It is very unaccommodating of me i know. the smell alone puts me off.

my sister hates not only strawberries but TOMATOES. she will not even touch lettuce that has had what she calls "tomato slime" on it.

― Tracer hand, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Slices of tomato on pizza. Ick. And even if you pull them off there's still juice and pips all over the place. It's an abomination. But I don't mind eating raw tomato on its own.

And jacket potatoes.

― Graham, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If we're going to talk about things that don't belong on pizza, what about SWEET CORN?????? What the hell is that about?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Brussel Sprouts, they smell of stagnent washing up water.

Leeks, slimey, should be left in the ground. Or totally eradicated.

― jel, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fucking bananas. Tomatoes are treading on thin ice, too.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sweetcorn is vile. Only to be eaten attached to its cob. Other things that do not go on pizza include PINEAPPLE, CHICKEN and CHEDDAR CHEESE.

Dan, you are sooooo wrong about fish. This might be one of those Minnesota 'you catch, you eat' things ('Mo-om, Dad's cooking bullheads and crappies again!') and I can understand how CANNED TUNA might also contribute, esp. in HOTDISH (hurrrrlllll!). Suffice it to say they do nasty things to fish in MN. To remedy this, you really need to get down with some monkfish in Thai curry or tuna steak seared on one side, and that's just for starters.

AND you're in Boston, tch. Decent seafood is there. Trust me, if I cooked it, you'd all eat it and ask for THIRDS.

― suzy, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Beetroot - espec. pickled variety. yuk.

― stevo, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Suffice it to say they do nasty things to fish in MN.

Yes, they do. Can you believe our school cafeteria would occassionally serve us LUTEFISK???? (Of course, you can, you're from MN.)

I should note I'm making some amount of progress with my fish hatred; I will sometimes order it (esp. salmon) out at a restaurant and when Joei makes catfish, I eat it (and sometimes ask for seconds becuz her catfish is the SHIZNIT). Most times, I can't help but remember the sad, limpid walleye pike fillet lying in a limp pile on my plate, riddled with enough bones to choke a battalion of soldiers and tasting of buttery nastiness.

Boston is also good for shellfish, though, which I will throw down on in a HEARTBEAT. Mmmmm.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cheese. Repugnant stuff.
The smell of it, the taste of it! Dear God it's foul, foul wretched stuff. Squeezed from the diseased udders of dead cows, I'm sure of it.
And did I mention the fokin STENCH of it?
No-one likes cheese - scientific FACKTOID!

― DavidM, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Everybodys slagging off the things I love to eat, I could happily live on a diet of fish, olives and peanut butter quiche.
Brussel sprouts though, what did we ever do to Belgium to inflict that on us, and don't get me started on liquorice.

― Billy Dods, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh and roast beetroot is sublime, though it does turn your pee purple.

― Billy Dods, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Peaches. The fruit that turns from fuzzy to slimy in one bite. And tastes/smells like shit all the while.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Peanut butter quiche?

Despite what those old Reese's Peanut Butter Cups commercials might lead you to believe, you can't slap peanut butter on any old thing and have a tasty treat.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You know what? I really quite like sprouts.

― DavidM, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like every kind of food.

― Kris, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you can't slap peanut butter on any old thing and have a tasty treat Of course you can it's one of the main food groups. (except on liquorice, it still tastes like old tyres marinaded in buffalo piss)

― Billy Dods, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I still don't understand this question, even after reading the answers. If it is fantastic, then why do you hate it? If you hate it, wouldn't it stand to reckon that you don't find it fantastic?

― Ally, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If old tires marinated in buffalo piss tastes like liquorice, I must make a trip to sample the cuisine of Wyoming post haste.

Peanut butter + cottage cheese = instant vomit attack. They're yummy apart, though.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

olives i think is the only thing i have had trouble with.

― anthony, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally, I took "fantastic" to mean "universally loved by everyone except for you". Which kind of pushes olives and Brussel sprouts out of the running, now that I think about it...

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, okay. Steak.

― Ally, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tomatoes, zucchini, and other squishy vegetables. The texture is awful.

I would like to use this opportunity to profess my loyal adoration of quiche, by the way. Mmmm.

― maria, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

brussel sprouts are proof of G-ds divine providence .

― anthony, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yams. They're for smearing on butts, not for eating, silly people!

Not wild about shrimp either, although I can stomach them if they're smothered in cocktail sauce.

― Arthur, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I meant food that you just can't like. Akin to the "they're good but I hate em" band thread. I was going to say Marmite but since scientifically it is shite I refrained.

I wonder!! Is all the hatred of some veggies the result of never really getting the good stuff? Where do English tomatoes come from? Just last night New Housemate and myself made a salad consisting only of deep sweet voluptuous tomatoes from upstate, bought from the farmer's market at Grand Army Plaza. mrrrrrrrowf *gone*

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tracer is right. Some nice plum tomatoes, some fresh basil, some fresh garlic, a bit of olive oil, some salt and pepper...I could live on bowls of this. It's a great sandwich filler and if you sprinkle a bit of balsamic vinegar on it, a rockin' salad.

Dan: shellfish. The bomb. My mum is trying to figure out some excuse to FedEx me a 5lb box of hyooge Gulf shrimp - which she picks up for a song when visiting her other place in (you guessed it) Fort Myers. She makes this weird shrimp stroganoff thing called Shrimp Shit (by her) and I always get busted for midnight raids on the leftover prawns from out of the sauce.

― suzy, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't like Quiche either. There you go, three people who don't like it, so it can't be that fantastic.

Mind you, I am allergic to eggs.

― Magnus, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tomatoes are gross. Tomato flavoured things are okay, but raw tomatoes taste and smell yucky. I also won't eat asparagus, and my mother grows it every year, so more for her, then.

I do like quiche, but not cold quiche.

― rosemary, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sushi. i don't completely loathe it, it just doesn't do anything for me.

― di, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ask not what sushi can do for you; ask instead what you can do for sushi.

― Nick, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Lady Die, in the words of Primal Scream, if it moves, kill it. My father swears he once saw a fish move on a dish at a sushi bar.

― nathalie, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What kind of crap sushi bar sells raw fish whole?

― Emma, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Belgian ones, evidently. They probably put mayonnaise on it too.

― Nick, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My Japanese friend called it "dancing sushi" once, and she sez that be her favourite way of eating sushi.

Me, I prefer it not to be moving, although if anyone finds a place which sells the fish STILL WRIGGLING AFTER YOU CHOP ITS HEAD OFF (yeahyeahyeah) I am more than willing to be dared to eat it.

I can't believe I forgot: mayonnaise is truly the SPUNK OF THE DEVIL.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes but is that good or bad sarah?

― mark s, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Rev Ian Paisley once called Guinness 'the devil's buttermilk' which is an excellent description.

― stevo, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark, it is VAAAH VAAAH bad. There's a reason why there's a HELL in HELLMANS. Satan in food does not compute. SATAY however yum yum!

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

devilled kidneys = yum yum
devilfish = yum yum
yet devilled devilfish? even suzy does not know...

― mark s, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Have never eaten the food of the devil. Good point. What are devilled eggs anyway?

Gosh Suzy and I are the opposite ends of the food poles. I live on cheese toasties and pasta WITH PESTO and yesterday I was a proper chef cos I even cooked some sosage too. I ate it whilst lying on my bed playing FINAL FANTASY EIGHT - when does one get out of the stewdent food mindset I wonder.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

mayo , egg yolks , paprika , like sex

― anthony, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Crikey, maybe that's what was missing when I last did "it". It seemed okay without the egg yolks though, to be honest. Hmmm. Can't one just stick to ice cream?

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've only known one other person, besides myself, who hates peaches. Because we went to college together, we became great friends partly on that basis.

Irony of ironies: me and this fellow peach-hating friend of mine rented an off-campus apartment during our upper-class years. And in the backyard were some small peach trees. We never touched the shit, but our friends loved to eat all the peaches.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My devilled eggs recipe:

Hardboil eight eggs for 10 minutes. When they are cool to the touch, peel them. Bisect the eggs lengthwise, and extract all the yolks as you go along, saving yolks in a bowl. Place the egg segments on a plate in an attractive 'ring of egg' arrangement. Finely chop some spring onions or chives into teeny tiny micropieces and add to yolk bowl. Lob a big lump of nice mayo into the bowl and mash yolks, chives, mayo together. Add salt and pepper and just a dash of paprika. With a teaspoon, load the egg yolk mix into the crevice left by yolk in the egg white halves. When your 16 halves are fully loaded, dust with paprika and chill them in the fridge.

If you can wait that long.

― suzy, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Joei's mom uses a similar deviled egg recipe, only instead of chives she uses green olives. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And for devilled kidneys just subst.where approp.

― mark s, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

UUUUGH. Mark, that sounds suspiciously like Glands For Dinner.

― suzy, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, for breakfast.

― mark s, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Kidneys in pudding form w/steak accompaniment = classic, by themselves, fried, for breakfast, as described in Ulysees = dud.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Glands For Dinner sounds like the name of a very dubious art-rock album.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I will not eat anything that has had the poo or wee of an animal coursing through it. Bleurgh.

― suzy, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Glands of External Secretion is a Seymour Glass and Babs Manning project. Pretty cool. (cue for someone to post on Bad Taste thread.)

― nathalie, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Coconuts are Satan's very own gonads. This is scientific fact.

― Trevor, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think you'll find Satan's gonads are actually broad beans.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Here I was thinking that Satan's gonads were metaphysical testicles.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If Satan's nuts are of the coco variety, he has the coarsest pubes in the universe. If they are the size of broadbeans, can you imagine how small his pee-wee is?

I Love (to eat) Everything.

― Madchen, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

I HATE DEVILLED EGGS!! they taste like an old gym sock that got ran over by a dirty trash truck. I also hate chocolate...i think its the devil!!

― Scottials, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I did not notice such rudeness about offal. It truly is God's own food - that's why it is so tasty. And so prudish about pish - tut tut.

― Pete, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i aslo hate squid and black tip shark hey taste like poo

― scottials, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I once gutted a squid and all this cum came out.

― Nick, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So what are you saying? You're gutting the squid was a sexual experience for him? Were you making a squid snuff film?

― Samantha, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Unless the cum came out of Nick not the squid which is a whole different kettle of fish (or cephalopods, or whatever squid are).

― Emma, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no idea if dead squid can get excited. I know they're weird but I doubt it. No, I mean I cut open a sac and all the cum seeped out. If it wasn't cum it was so like it that I'm amazed no one has remarked on this quirk of nature before (and what was it, in that case?). It smelt stronger than cum though. It was really embarassing - it was in my mum's kitchen sink and I had to flush it away quickly.

― Nick, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Uncleaned squid is gross, I used to buy loads of it for ship's crews years ago when I was in the food department. It was one of the cheapest items then, now I see squid (although cleaned kind) is more per lb. than salmon filet!
I don't like pickle-even fancy french ones, or olives or caviar, yuck.

― Lesley Higgins, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tuna. The sight and smell of it will send me running away screaming and crying. Same with a lot of fish, actually

But I'm shocked no one yet mentioned the most obvious fantastic, loathsome food that comes naturally...
