Pineapple on pizza.
I only understand other people hating it because so many people have said so. So it’s more of an acknowledgement than actually understanding.
Of course, I understand people are different, so there’s that.
Grilled liver and onions and jarred Gefilte Fish. Both I grew up eating as an Ashkenazi jew with a working mom who didn’t have time to make her own Gefilte Fish haha. I do understand that both are an acquired taste though.
Never ate liver and onions until I was married. My own mother was grossed out when I told her I ate liver. But it is so flavorful! I’m sad I missed out as a kid because my parents thought it was gross. I promised myself I will not do the same to my kids.
Liver is still a fave of mine but there’s next to nowhere that serves it restaurant-wise and no idea where I’d be able to pick it up locally to try cooking it myself. I’m not even sure what seasoning would be good on it as well if I were to get a hold of it.
Bleu cheese. It’s got the funk, and is literally moldy; I can see how that could be off-putting for someone.
Cilantro. Because I know there’s people who have a gene that makes it taste like soap to them.
I’m so sad I have the bad genetics for cilantro. Everyone who loves it seems to love it so much! But alas, soap.
Yeah, coriander is great if you’re not stuck with those genes.
Dobradinha: Brazilian caipira stewed beef intestines with beans. Really goes all the way with emphasizing the jelly texture
Chicken hearts: we eat them by the dozen but IME gringos don’t like them much
Chicken feet: love them plain caipira style but dim sum style is even better, especially the more spicy onesI had a friend turn me on to chicken hearts when I was heavy into grilling and love introducing people to them. Super easy to grill too. Season, skewer, throw them on, done. Chicken feet though??? Idk, hard for me to get behind knowing they’ve been treading through dirt their whole lives, or worse.
Oh wow. Wait until I tell you how (proper) sausage is made, what part of the body the casing is generally made of, and what goes through that for animals’ whole lives… 🤣
Marinating the hearts with limes and herbs is super good, too.
Yeah, feet turn a lot of people off because of the dirtiness and how messy they are to eat. Here’s more info: they are basically pure gelatinous skin with some juicy tendons, you eat them with your hands (at least in my family) to really get in there, and they taste however the broth as a whole tastes (I can’t imagine having them roasted)I’ll have to try marinating them, thanks for the info! Same on the feet, didn’t think about broth cooking them, assumed they would be BBQ like wings. Sounds good.
Meat, cheese and dairy
I don’t understand people not liking lentils. I think they do not know how to cook it 🤔
Sushi. Steak tartar.
I like my meat raw if I can eat it without dying.
I’m the polar opposite. Steak tartar makes me gag and the highest quality sushi I ever ate barely reached “meh”. (Normal sushi falls into the “let’s just slide this in the garbage bin when nobody is looking” camp.)
More for me lol.
I like to say that I want it done so that a good veterinarian could bring it back to life.
Most of my lazy dishes are pretty terrible on paper but are really tasty imo.
For example I sometimes make a fried noodles and tofu that as a sauce has a fuckton of sriracha and nutritional yeast. It’s basically a super spicy ans super umami dish, but you kind of need to let it grow on you.
Ive made nooch, Sriracha and tofu with toast and with rice, I’ll try it with noodles next, thanks for the idea!
Sea Oysters! Back when I lived by the coast, I would tag along for a ride with my fishermen uncle; we would cut some oysters with a knife from the side of the port and snack on them through the day; Just opening them up with a knife, add chopped purple onions, avocado, tomatoes, lemon and hot sauce and slurp em’ off the shell!
That sounds like the best ceviche imaginable
Espresso with tabasco.
Of everything here this has me laughing. I can’t even imagine what you do to the toilets you frequent, holy shit.
Always striving for minimal bloat. Be that on my machines, or my tummy.
You’ve got me curious! I’ve always enjoyed eating spicy foods along with coffee, so this sounds like something I’d like.
I have to know more. What ratios are we talking here? Assuming just a few dashes.
3 generous dashes for a shot of double espresso.
my god

Fried Blood Sausage.
It looks like actual, coagulated blood.
But it’s really tasty (to me).Beer. My partner doesn’t care for it but I love it. I know tons of people love beer but I totally get the people that don’t. It’s kinda very different from most drinks!
I mean, even within beer there’s a huge variation in flavors.
Fair! I guess I mean traditional old school “beer” when I say it, but even that has some variation too
Boiled Peanuts. I love 'em, but they’re salty and sodden and messy, and they can range from a disconcerting pop texture to a disconcerting slimy texture, all in the same batch.
I love them!!! I make my own in the crock pot then I can get them Cajun style.
Boiled peanuts are the second best way to make peanuts! (The best way is roasted in red clay.)
Lamb brain sandwich
Never heard of this but now I’m intrigued? What is the flavor / texture like??
Kind of bone marrow mushroomy.
Waiting on the balut comment… 🤢🤮
