At the risk of sounding like a precious foodie I can't help thinking people mentioning things like pheasant, tongue, tripe, aubergine, etc, have not had them prepared the right way. :hmm:

 

 

I'm a terribly precious foody too, I've tried cooking pheasant in every way, and I'm exacting. I've tried it at our local pub that revels on game season, still nearly made me come over the table, it's not the texture, it's the taste.

Fresh salmon or rainbow trout taste absolute awful, if you knew what went into the feed you would never eat them again.

 

Only other thing that I have tried is chicken hearts in a Brazilian restaurant, they are a bit like a pencil rubber that's been warmed up and buried with a goat that was marinated in diesel and pan fried.

 

Other than that I eat anything.

So you don't eat chicken then?

 

use your immigration when preparing & cooking the pheasant you will be hard pushed to tell the difference. The same goes for goose.

 

I cant see the point in shooting the birds if you are not going to eat them

If you think goose and chicken have the same taste and texture you have been eating some really bad goose!

 

I am not eating crow for anybody!

i have always wondered who the first person in history was to taste liver and kidney,,,,plus cook the stuff,,,

Lovely stuff.

 

The raw warm liver is (and thus most likely was) eaten by many hunter gatherer tribes through the ages. After a long arduous chase it gives instant energy. Plus of course they believed they were taking on board the preys energy and essence, which of course they were and believed they were honouring the animals who gave them life. This is all anthropological stuff that still hold true today with isolated tribes in the Tropical rain forests etc and our ancestors were no different. They reckon the same with cannibalism which we find abhorrent but to them was perfectly logical and not taboo.

 

As for personal dislikes, not many, and most are down to feel and taste obviously or in the case of some products are they fresh and untainted - shellfish is a prime example. Marzipan - yuk but the main constituent in its raw state is fine - almonds. Game is an acquired taste. One mans meat is another mans poison.

They do get eaten, just not by me, plus I don't shoot them, they get given to me.

 

I've said I don't know how many times, I don't like it, you can't make me like it!

I find it amazing how often when someone doesn't like something their parents/children won't like it either. Not sure if this is learned behaviour or genetic, but it's interesting.

 

There are a few things I don't like rice pudding & semolina would top the list. Can't explain but just no. I'd give most things a shot, it is strange how with meat these days there is a muscle fetish. Fat, sinew, tendons all "bad" and trimmed off before it reaches supermarket shelves, and the heart, liver and other fifth quarter parts little better than dog food.

Fish and shell fish more so.

Heart or brains (liver and kidney is okay)

Mushy peas

Corned beef

Toungue

Gin (unless sloe gin)

Martini

Goats cheese/milk

Soya milk

sprouts

stuffing, why just why would you put this vile creation with anything.

I didn't mean that goose & chicken have the same texture I meant that it was all in the preparation and cooking style.

The vast majority of the time we eat with our eyes if we don't like what we see we wont eat it although the taste has also a lot to do with it and if we know exactly what it is. What I

mean by that if you can see on a menu you will already have a conceived thought about not liking it and not have it.

 

I am pretty sure that I could cook pheasant or goose and you would find it difficult to identify it being different from chicken or beef.

 

But hay ho we are all different than goodness, each to there own.

I am of to have a stake cooked blue and I know that's how I like it cooked.
