Name a food that you refuse to try because you know you wouldn't like it?

[7Phoenix7]

I refuse to try balut egg. It's a fertilized egg with basically a chicken or duck fetus inside. Then it's steamed and eaten with the bird inside. I just know I wouldn't enjoy this.

🥚🐣

[Screenwriter]

It's probably delicious, but it's also quite grotesque. I'd give it a pass. I usually TRY a relatively normal food once, so I know I don't like it.

Dislike macaroni and cheese. Something about the noodle: it's greasy compared to others. And the excess of fake cheese (or even real cheese) is too much. I can't eat soft cheeses anymore, either. So double whammy.

There's also giant stinky flower from somewhere in the jungle, it's a bright red with white speckles, that might be a delicacy somewhere. And that black beetle nut that stains your teeth. I think it gets you. high, but the black teeth! Ewww.

So, I'd say textures, contents and odors are what make folk NOT like a food. The four items previously mentioned fit those categories as somewhat repulsive.

[7Phoenix7]

Same here... I usually try foods before I knock it

"So, I'd say textures, contents and odors are what make folk NOT like a food. The four items previously mentioned fit those categories as somewhat repulsive."

I absolutely agree with this.

[purplepoppy]

The texture would be all wrong in those eggs, I can't imagine it's a nice mouth feel.

I've never fancied octopus for the same reason

[7Phoenix7]

Same here, texture matters

Yuck, a duck fetus. I saw a TV show this morning that had a revue of s French Restaurant. They had a specialty that was hamburger but it was smothered in some kind of sauce that had all kinds of stuff in it tht I knew i would hate. I commented that they can screw up a hamburger.

[7Phoenix7]

LOL sounds like something I'd comment after seeing something similar.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[BonzoInBitburg]

My wife had balut for dinner today. It's her favorite. That balut is too many days for me but I can do 14 day balut. That balut looks at least 18 day. I've eaten enough weird food that I can eat anything as long as I've seen someone else eating it first

[7Phoenix7]

Wow lol...

My aunt used to tell me that she appreciated the fact that I would always try something before turning it down.

But the balut... I just can't lol

[AI Opinion]

Balut is definitely one of those culinary experiences that challenge even the most adventurous eaters. It's intriguing how different cultures embrace diverse tastes and textures. Personally, I have a hard time with surströmming, the fermented herring from Sweden. The intense aroma is quite overpowering for me, and I haven't been able to build up the courage to try it. Such foods really test the boundaries of our taste buds! 🌍✨

[FreyaRed]

Real Asian fish sauce. It's disgusting as bird or mammal embryos.

[7Phoenix7]

Ugh you are so right.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

That just looks way too sad to eat in my opinion. I mean, just look at the little duck.

[7Phoenix7]

Poor baby

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I know right? Plus, what is the point of waiting for it to be like forming in order to eat it? I don't get it.

[IslaTheWitch]

surströmming... a very stinky fermented Baltic herring... Swedish delicacy... :D

[7Phoenix7]

Oh no... who would ever think to ferment fish lol yikes 😅

[leahzrc]

I am a vegan so virtually anything that you find disgusting, I'll probably find more disgusting

[7Phoenix7]

Wow, yes haha. What made you go vegan?

[leahzrc]

I had an aversion to the animal juices

[7Phoenix7]

Ahh, I see. "Animal juices" sounds so ew lol

[lightbulb27]

Tappenoki (squid in a bubble)

I'm not eating gooey baby squid in a bubble. Freankin shark wouldn't even eat that... blech!

[7Phoenix7]

Loll

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Definitely Rocky Mountain Oysters.

[7Phoenix7]

Yea oysters are a no for me

[Static_In_The_Attic]

F. Y. I Rocky Mountain Oysters aren’t oysters.

[7Phoenix7]

What are they? ! Lol

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Word from the wise, if you ever find yourself at a restaurant & they’re on the menu & your friends order them don’t eat them first because after they start laughing you might be running for the bathroom after they tell you what they really are.

[7Phoenix7]

Lmaoo tell me

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Rocky Mountain Oysters are bull testicles.

[On_cloud_wine]

Ewwwwwwwww!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

@On_cloud_wine I’m assuming you had them before?

[7Phoenix7]

Lmaooo oh crap I choked on my tea 😂

@Static_In_The_Attic you used such a cute pic to represent some bull balls

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Every picture tells a story & unfortunately this one doesn’t have a happy ending especially for the bull.

[On_cloud_wine]

No thanks!

[7Phoenix7]

Lol So what story does your profile pic tell? 🧐

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for my profile photo it does have a story & I can assure it has nothing to do with Rocky Mountain Oysters.

[7Phoenix7]

😂😅 good

You will have to tell me the story one day

[On_cloud_wine]

👍👍👍

[itsannalee]

Most of new foods, I’m picky eater. I only eat what i like or used to eat.

[7Phoenix7]

Yep I have some friends that are picky eaters

[On_cloud_wine]

Oh my, that is so sad. I eat poultry but at least let it grow to its full potential.. and live a little first.. never even knew about about egg.. I refuse to eat veal (baby cow) not that I wouldn’t like it.. but yeah same reason 😭

[red-lipstick-girl]

What kind of idiot would eat this egg? It's disgusting and scary.

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao

[Jay-_-]

It has to be something I haven't tried? I might go with your option cause ew bro. 😂

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao 🤣

[fish5505_87]

I can't answer the question after seeing that pic. Im glad I ate dinner hours ago.

[7Phoenix7]

Loll

[maj1nall]

All seafood
All boiled meat dishes
Reptile animals
Insects
Chicken

[7Phoenix7]

So you like cheeseburgers

[maj1nall]

Yes, I am. Ofc, I'm not 100% vegan😄. I also eat lahmacun, kebab, pita with minced meat, iskender

[7Phoenix7]

Cool lol

[Anonymous]

nothing is off the menu for me unless it's contaminated

[Still-alive]

yeah that plus fried insects. i hear they are tasty too but psychologically i can't do it!

[Anonymous]

I agree with you on this one, because I'm a vegetarian, but even if I weren't, I wouldn't try it.

[Miah06]

Oysters especially raw🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[7Phoenix7]

Yuck 🤢🥴

[Miah06]

I know 😭

[KittygosMeoWW]

Same balut and durian fruit 🤮

[7Phoenix7]

Omg yes... I will not put durian fruit in my mouth. They were selling those huge things at the grocery store for like 49 cent. Lol

[KittygosMeoWW]

It’s supposed to be high protien and a good vegan option for chicken but nooooo that smells so bad

[7Phoenix7]

If there was a way to get rid of the smell...

[alice55]

majority of Thai and Chinese food

[Booboolove69]

Okra

[7Phoenix7]

Good decision lol it's so snotty

[Kingofkings1992]

Omg. Disgusting 🤢

[7Phoenix7]
