I've never eaten shell fish- it looks so slimy and disgusting and I'm not keen on strong fishy tastes anyway. I only eat cod/plaice.

I hate fruit, I have hated it all my life although I will eat banana but given the choice I will avoid it

Oysters

I've eaten smoked oysters out of a tin-----they went through me like a Porsche, so raw ones a definite no no.

@EllanVannin I can't deal with anything slimy x

I've never eaten larverbread, tripe, heart, brains, pig's trotters, fish eyes, whale meat or shark. The thought of eating anything like that turns my stomach. They all seem like an incredibly unnatural thing to eat.

They all sound gross x

Gosh, why would you see Laverbread in the same category as tripe, heart, brains, pig's trotters, fish eyes, whale meat or shark? Seems odd to me!

I bought some laver bread in Tenby market once. I was told to fry it in bacon fat. I know it’s very good for you, but it was truly horrible. Even DH wouldn’t eat it and he’s Welsh!

It is disgusting isn't it!

It's not in the same category as the rest but it does seem an unnatural thing to eat, at least to me. It turns my stomach, just maybe not as severely as the others I listed.

Oysters and any sort of shellfish - my husband used to call them "sewage filters" - well actually he put it more crudely than that.

Oh - I've just thought of fried eggs not well cooked. I so wish I hadn't.

I have just googled how to produce a capon. I grew up on a farm and to make a male chicken into a capon, a little pellet would be injected somewhere under its comb, before it had reached maturity using a little tool. I don’t remember it being particularly gory, certainly not bloody. This was back in the 60s I think. Wiki says that chemical castration is now illegal in the uk, probably due to using hormones I imagine. The alternative way seems horrible.

Pickled eggs. Just why would you pickle an egg?
Tripe. Because it looks and smells vile. <<not envy>>
Beetroot. Because I had to peel them after they were boiled, when I was a child, and it was like peeling a slug. <<definitely not envy>>
Calimari. Deep fried battered rubber bands.
Peaches and apricots. Too furry. Biting into one is like biting into a cat's ear.
Lychee. They look like eyeballs.
Sprouts. They're the work of the devil.

Whale meat. Because I've never been offered any.

chewy, I agree about calamari here but I ate tons of them when working in Thailand. So fresh! And not in the least bit rubbery.

My mother suggested we try pickling eggs when we had chickens and had eggs coming out of our ears, so to speak. I started putting them in bread which did help use them up as we went through a loaf a day when Minibaggs was still at home.

I have much the same list as you Chewbacca apart from the sprouts which I love. My husband gets really annoyed when I exclude things from our menu, he will eat just about anything.

We're not fussy eaters sodapop, we're simply selective!

I know it sounds silly but I just hate potatoes in any form and egg white.

It's like eating slime.
Well, I'm not sure if eating is the correct word because I spat it out .
Food of the devil.

I spat out crocodile too, but more discreetly into a napkin.

I have never tried pitahaya. Actually, I tried a lot of tropical fruits but there is one of which I want to tried more than other. I will buy it this week for satisfaction my taste :D
Thank you for this thread.

Oysters, Snails, Mussels, Lobster - never had. Wish I had when I was younger, think I am too old to experiment now.
