If only Hillary were more open-minded, her husband might have avoided all those scandals. Oh come on!

I’m surprised Huckabee doesn’t like carrots. He’s lost lot’s of weight you know, and carrots are good for you, and Huckabee probably would want you eat carrots because they’re good for you and he knows what’s good for you better than you do, because he lost lot’s of weight.

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: “I like nearly everything. “I don’t like, you know, Freedom Fries!“

Hey! I don’t know who the heck you are — but you are NOT ME. AP, I thought that this was fixed a while back. Can we do something about this poser? Thank you!

Oh, and by the way, mine would be holodetz. Had this in Ukraine a couple times while living there.

Get a soup bone with a joint. Boil it. Put a bunch of shredded meat in the bottom of a bowl. Pour the meat bone soup water on top of it. When cooled the water will make a natural gelatin and harden up. There you have it, cold bone flavoured joint jello with shredded meat. Terrible.

I could even stand the blood sausage (made poorly with grissle, hair, and bone flakes in it), more than holodetz.

Next time we’ll talk sala (thickly sliced bacon fat with all meat removed eaten raw).

Hachinoko: mashed pickled baby bees
Who in the entire world would even think that this would be a good idea to prepare and eat?

As a beekeeper I can see it. Bee larvae before they emerge from the cell are soft and white. Look and feel nothing at all like their grown up counterparts. I have never eaten them, but bears do. Most people think bears go after honey, but really they are after the protein rich larvae.

Sushi. Anything that’s not cooked doesn’t get eaten. Got salmanilla from undercooked chicken once and it was the worst night of my life. I can’t bring myself to eat anything raw ever again.

Squash, turnup, beets – taste like dirt.

Cottage cheese – milk gone bad and put into a different container. My wife doesn’t understand my revusion, though.

Pea soup. Makes the whole ~~house~~ neighborhood smell like old sneakers.

And sprouts of any kind make me gag.

Other than that, I’m a pretty healthy eater. And I agree – things like pineapple have no business on a pizza.

Food and me, we go way back. There isn’t much of anything I won’t try or don’t like, but I hear you, Natto is disgusting. They love to gross out the gaijin with that crap.

Like I mentioned when this was in Headlines, Hillary’s line reminded me of the “chowing down a live octopus” scene from Oldboy … handily online for your viewing please (with crappy dubbing)!

Worst thing I ever tasted: liquid magnesium.

Honestly, the food is the only redeeming feature of Philly. I’d still sell it to Jersey.

Sissies.

Natto alone is so-so. Negi-hama natto is pretty good. It tastes better than it smells.

Good uni is to die for.

Yow! I’m agreeing with Hillary, but only because you mentioned natto, which reminded me of Japanese food, which reminded me of my most unpleasant encounter with some soup. Actually, it wasn’t the soup, but the still-writhing octopus tentacles (watching the host chop them off and toss them in right at the table didn’t bother me nearly as much as that we were expected to eat them while they were still alive). The Japanese have trouble with the concept of “fresh,” which does not include “alive.”

Narsty.

There used to be this Candid Camera like TV show in Japan were they would meet foreigners just arriving at Narita airport and ask them to eat certain Japanese foods. The crew would film their reactions, which were often hilarious.
-
The favorite foods (as I recall) to feed the happless victims:
-
Natto: fermented soybeans, as in the photo for this thread.
Umeboshi: Pickled plums
Unagi: barbecued eel (actually many liked this one)
Uni: raw or sometimes living sea urchins
Tsukemono: various types of pickled vegetables
Hachinoko: mashed pickled baby bees (not sure if I remember this one or not- it seems like a natural but this is a regional food not common in Tokyo, so I’m not sure).

I absolutely hate mushrooms and olives. And for a time, I avoided ice cream too, because I once got so sick from eating it.

Awww man! Y'all are makin' my mouth water. I love scrapple, but I think some of you are getting it mixed up with what we called souse and what the Yankees call head cheese. I also love fried pork brains and eggs....yummm. I betcha they'd go good with some scrapple. Ummm, and mountain oysters now you're talkin'. I would never eat a balut though. I had buddies that loved them but I just couldn't drink enough San Miguel to get past the smell.
