I don't think anything is off the menu for me, I haven't eaten tripe but after seeing and smelling the stuff we gave to our dog I'd have to have a think twice before eating that.

 

I'd never order a pudding in a restaurant and I'm not keen on cakes etc, but I'll still eat it.

 

Very mature pecorino cheese comes close to being inedible as it smells like rancid lanolin and sick, but I'll eat that if I have to.

I cannot eat raw tomatoes, cooked is fine but raw the taste/texture makes me heave. Other than that I'll eat just about anything other than escargot. I've not tried it but I would imagine it's vile. Oh, and foie gras, dirty lump of flaccid, flavourless snot. We once stayed at some posh hotel in Italy and it was on the menu, I thought "well, it's unlikely I'll ever come across that again" so gave it a go. One mouthful and I nearly barfed.

 

Try them! - with a fresh crusty baguette. The flavour is of the hot garlic butter, with just a slight earthy undertone.

I too thought that they would be vile until I was introduced to them in Paris. They really are good.

Venison that has a strong taste. In the last two days I have had some haunch off a doe I shot the first week in season, and, whilst my wife and daughter absolutely loved it and hoovered the food, I found it revolting. It is weird really, as this is the first doe that has that strong a taste. I had bucks with strong taste before, but never a doe. The next cuts I will cook from this animal will either be soaked in milk overnight or turned into sausages with a higher amount of pork in than I use normally.

Blimey, I must get the Mrs to eat more if it has that effect!!.

 

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.

After reading through the posts I find myself understanding why I am a bit over weight, I like everything and was getting a bit worried until Officerdibble came to my rescue. Horseradish I would rather eat my own meat and 2 veg than eat it.

 

 

Horseradish,yuk I love spicy and hot,but I would starve before I would ever eat that ****

Blackpowder,

 

You may be right, doesn't Smoked Salmon have soft bones or am I thinking of something else?

 

Whatever it was it put me off,

 

I do like smoked cod/haddock but also the taste of smoked salmon isn't for me.

 

I'm desperate to try Arbroath Smokies but they have alluded me so far

 

:shaun:

I'm not a fan of fish in general, but will eat it if it's put in front of me, but as above, I can't abide smoked salmon and the aftertaste it leaves.

 

Arbroath smokies though. Mmmmm. I could eat them for breakfast every day. Luckily I have a mate who lives in Arbroath so the food parcels arrive now and then. :good:

They do an ,'Eyemouth Smokie' which is identical to the Arbroath version but you cannot call it that due to Regional Protection or something like that. These smokies are not split, nor are the filleted and therefore are on the bone. Its a hot smoking process so the flesh is cooked during the smoking process. Also the fully filleted lightly cured and smoked haddock fillet is delicious and sounds like what you might like.

I had this recently, a muntjac loin that tasted like it had been covered in the contents of the guts( it hadnt been gut shot) yet the saddle was delicious, the muntjac shot before this one tasted peppery????? good tip about the milk, must give it a try

I cant stand pheasant it stinks of rotting corpse when its cooking and tastes much the same, also venison to me is nothing special I would rather have lamb, beef or pork. also I hate marmite, any spicy food and two things I wont try because they look disgusting to me is piccalilli and salad cream.
