S U S H I. Used to eat it + love it. Did a weeks long deep research dive on intestinal parasites, includes videos on yt. (Do not recommend🤮) But, yea no more raw sushi for me.
Bugs!
Wasabi.
HUH! It's just hot, I've never heard of anyone being actually disgusted by it!
The flavor is reminiscent of vile chemicals. Blech!!
Huh! Interesting
The crow after elections!
A lot of old timers eat tripe, no thanks. "Chitlins" , pigs intestines is right up there with gross. My Grandmother used to eat kidneys, if I recall. Eels are gross but they taste pretty good, if you like an oily fish.
If you’ve ever smelled chitlins you won’t forget it. It’s the worst smell I’ve ever smelled. My great grandma cooked them and the entire family ate them except me. There’s an old store downtown that cooks them occasionally. It’s bad when you can smell them with the car windows up.
So I heard a long time ago , from some girls I worked with. They used to send their kids down south to spend time with grandparents during the summer months, and they would laugh about how one of them called crying because granny was cookin chitlins in the house and he thought she would spank them if they didn't eat their dinner that night. They laughed when talking about how they did not miss that particular cuisine.
That sounds very believable! That story just needs another edition “picking out your own switch”. Richard Pryor has a good skit on that. I probably ate them but don’t remember, thankfully. I do remember eating pickled pigs feet and chicken feet cooked in chicken pastry (like dumplings but flat flour dough. It’s called chicken dumplings or pastry depending on the region.) I always heard my great grandma and her sisters would fight over a hogs head. I actually saw pigs feet in a grocery store a few months ago. I’d have to mighty damned hungry to eat any of that stuff today. I understand people eating those foods. Most people in USA haven’t experienced true poverty and hunger. My grandparents were children during the depression. Times were so different than anything we can imagine.
Tripe is one of the very few things I actually just can't get into whatsoever. Haven't done the intestines....
I love eel in a sushi context.
I can put away some unagi sushi, for real. Cooked eel is honestly pretty gross though, its a travesty
Well, unagi is always cooked as far as I'm aware - I don't think I've ever seen a raw option on this one. So I have to assume some eel is gross but not that one?
Kopi Luwak, AKA Civet Coffee. Some people believe Covid may have started here.
"Kopi Luwak is a famous (or infamous) Indonesian coffee that has been digested by an animal called an Asian palm civet. The civet is a cat-like creature that roams the forests of Bali at night, eating ripe coffee cherries and excreting the coffee beans. The beans are then gathered, cleaned, and roasted. The result? Kopi Luwak, also called civet cat coffee or cat poop coffee."

Pedro: Man, what is in this shit, man?
Man Stoner: Mostly Maui Waui man, but it's got some Labrador in it.
Pedro: What's Labrador?
Man Stoner: It's dog shit.
Pedro: What?
Man Stoner: Yeah, my dog ate my stash, man.
Pedro: Yeah?
Man Stoner: I had it on the table and the little motherfucker ate it, man. Then I had to follow him around with a little baggie for three days, man, before I got it back. Really blew the dog's mind, ya know?
Pedro: You mean we're smokin' dog shit, man?

That was horrible. They are very smart creatures.
They are, and in this show the octopus is Deep's friend as well. Its one twisted show, but a bunch of redpills here and there

Tripe, brains and similar yukky stuff like placentas. Gross.
Oh, i need a 2nd answer though. Crawfish/crab boils. Its disgusting, watching people finger up this whole-bodied thing and rip it apart... the smell... Vomit-inducing.
I like crawfish just fine, but a bunch of people sitting at a newspaper covered table and manhandling boiled crustaceans...smelly and primative, i guess im too prissy for that lol i hate having anything on my hands.
Main thing there is that shit literally ain't deveined.
There is that, too! Excellent point. Its gross. On so many levels.
Soft shell crabs.
But the part you eat is just a muscle. Maybe think of it like that, 'cause otherwise I just can't see not eating these things, it's a whole spectrum of stuff.
Hot dog franks. Uncured sausage is great. Uncured franks are super expensive but a lot better..
The average "beef" or "chicken/pork" sludge "weiner" though..ugh. awful
Even worse in frozen corndog form
Machine recovered cr@p.
Tomato sauce or ketchup as it's called in some places. Can't stand the taste or smell of it.
Meatloaf. The very NAME is repulsive, why?
Unpopular opinion: Broccoli. Hot, cold, doesn't matter. I don't care how it's prepared or how much cheese it's hidden under. I find the taste, smell and texture absolutely revolting.
My top one would probably be blue cheese. Hate the stuff. When I see people put it on hot wings, I get sad. Other than that, tripe is pretty gross. I don't like raisins either, although I will eat them when they're in an old family recipe suet pudding. Manhattan clam chowder should be banned. New England clam chowder or gtfo! I don't like normal yogurt, but love Chobani Greek yogurt. Beyond that, I'll eat just about anything, I'm not picky.
Yogurt!
With all the cooking and baking that I do, whenever I watch a video, or read a recipe that has yogurt in it, I immediately turn it off. I cannot stand yogurt, that sour milk taste, it’s just so disgusting. I don’t care how much fruit you put on it, how much other fake flavorings you try to add to it. It’s always just yogurt. Yuck! I’m so against yogurt, I take probiotics To make up for not having those little beasties doing their job inside of me.
Yami sweet plain. Find it..my wife loves it..it is divine.
That and the yogurt custard in asian crepes..yeah you won't look at yogurt the same ever again
Yes funyons are pretty nasty! They leave a nasty aftertaste, and yes I can’t imagine smelling someone’s breath afterwards. LOL!
