[PurdueWx80]

Mine would be a tie between Snake soup in Taiwan, and smoked baby eels in Japan (by baby I mean like a quarter inch long....ugh).

[GalvestonDuck]

Cherries...I can't stand cherries!

[sunny]

I TRIED to eat a raw oyster one time. Note the word "tried".

[streetsoldier]

There was a nondescript MRE (Meal, Ready to Eat...three lies in one!) that I managed to get down once.

[hurricanedude]

yea..Im ex military.....MRE are not very attractive, although the chicken and rice was decent

Cherries...I can't stand cherries!

Yuk, me neither, but the things I dislike the most are crab sticks. Blecch!

[Cookiely]

Its a toss up between boiled chitlins and white lightning.

[yoda]

Raisins for me...

[x-y-no]

Hoo, boy ... there's a fair number of items competing for that honor ...

I made more than a little use of survival training when I was on the road back in '79 and '80. I guess I'd say skunk cabbage was about as vile as a vegetable has any business being ... although I later discovered it isn't half so bad roasted as boiled. As for meat ... I don't know, do roasted grubs count as meat?

Menudo.

Mexican tripe. <shudder>

[x-y-no]

Menudo.

I assume you mean the soup, not the boy-band.

[GalvestonDuck]

It's a VERY GOOD (yes, I'm serious) Mexican soup made from tripe. When it's cooked right, it IS good. And apparently, it's a good cure for a hangover.

Somehow I KNEW you'd weigh in on this one Duckie. Keep on trying. sincerely doubt that nasty stuff will ever pass my lips again, and if it does, it'll be a round trip...

[James]

Cool. It sounds like one of those recipes that has to be done just right or its rather unappetising. Thanks for answering my question.

[JenBayles]

That's funny! Reaction the same to both.

If you come to Galveston on a Sunday morning (or you're here after a late Saturday night), go to El Gusto del Pueblo restaurant on Broadway. I PROMISE, you won't be disappointed.

First time I had it was in Vegas. Nastiest crap I'd ever tried. Then, I found out that it probably wasn't cooked right (authentically). The second time I had it was when a friend's mom from Guanajuato, MX fixed it. I knew the first time I ate it that I could stomach the soup part, just not the tripe. So, to be polite, I had a bowl of the authentic stuff this time, but mostly just soup. To my surprise, it tasted much better than what I remembered. Since then, I've discovered a handful of real Mexican restaurants (not Tex-Mex) that make it good also.

I like it particularly when I'm feeling flu-ish.

Just as I always suspected - you gotta be SICK to eat that stuff!
