Name a food you tried and will never try again. Mine is lamb which was served at a wedding. Very greasy in my opinion.

[debm55]

[hlthe2b]

1. Lamb is a meat that requires care in cooking. I won't do it because it stinks up the house for weeks...

I will say that rack of lamb is really good if you find a restaurant that specializes in it. But yes, other cuts are often greasy. Moroccan cooking (or other Middle Eastern) might well make the difference for you. But, given I have nearly given up red meat (and increasingly, poultry) as I get older, I won't be cooking it either.

But, I will never eat liver or other organ meats--including kidney... Just no...

[debm55]

3. This was eaten at a Serbian wedding reception of a cousin. Yuk.

[LogDog75]

29. I've had lamb only once

And that was in Germany. I was taking a conversational German class and we wet to a local restaurant and a couple of us went together and ordered rack of lamb. I loved it.

As for liver, I thought I wouldn’t like it but turns out I do.

[electric_blue68]

76. Oh, dear....

Greek lamb shesh kabob on a skewer.
Marinated w olive oil, garlic, oregano, in between added chunks of sweet peppers, and onions. *Heaven*!
And I think being on a grill a lot of the grease would drip off, and away.

Understand, I was quite the picky eater as a kid. Probably drove my folks a bit batty. Started to slowly improve as a tween, then I really took off indy late teens! My kid-self would be horrified at what I've eaten! 😱 😄

I actually didn't eat it until my early 20's bc of taste issues.
To think of all the times I missed it earlier on!

[hlthe2b]

87. Yes. Kabobs and other Middle Eastern (and Greek) methods of cooking render it delicious...

Home roasting a lamb leg/shank makes for a very different outcome. Cooking method is everything. Thus, a rack of lamb-similarly-at restaurants that specialize in it.

[electric_blue68]

96. Interesting. At one cousin's her mom...

if we didn't have shesh kabobs; they also made a roast leg of lamb. I don't recall it being greasy.

They'd cook the little half almondish shaped pasta with it in the roasting pan. For us - delicious.

[hlthe2b]

107. Young lamb shouldn't. The older the animal (closer to being mutton), the greasier and smellier...

Mutton (meat from a mature sheep) tends to have a stronger, gamier flavor and odor. This is because the flavor compounds become more potent as the animal ages.

Lamb is more "prized," but it is not always readily available or identified.

[electric_blue68]

108. I might have had mutton soup up in The Navajo Nation in '79.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

133. I bet many who find lamb "greasy" just love to pieces greasy bacon burgers with cheese. Or greasy ribs. Go figure?

Supermarkets here, hardly high end though not the "No Frills" on the low end, have lamb every day. True lamb, not mutton. I'm braising a lamb shank with garlic and fresh rosemary sprigs tonight. Fresh corn on the cob. Maybe peas or I might make a side of mushrooms and onion, fried in avocado oil.

One thing that can make lamb seem greasier is serving it too cool. That could easily happen at a wedding with many guests. I think that lamb fat congeals at a higher temperature than beef fat or pork fat.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

109. I have lamb at least 2 a month, more often if on sale. Bought today. I most often braise which reduces fat content.

It astonishes me how timid and narrow American tastes are unless influenced by regional cuisines like Mexican, Indian, or Italian.

[Conjuay]

152. Having both parents emigrate from Ireland,

I grew up with regular servings of lamb.
As an aside, neither ever tasted corned beef until they were here.

[debm55]

90. Thank you very much, electric_blue68. Enjoy,

[Wifes husband]

126. Liver and onions

Liver and onions is one of those things that is really easy to cook if you know what you are doing, but really easy to screw up if you don't, and bad liver and onions are are incredibly bad.
Most people can't cook them

[AllaN01Bear]

132. melons

used to love t cantalope but now highlyh alergic to them. onions are another.

[Walleye]

2. Sea urchin roe at a sushi bar. My boyfriend loved it.

It tasted like sweatsocks to me

[debm55]

4. I have tasted roe and I agree with you, Walleye.

[3catwoman3]

44. It smells about the same, too. I tried it once while stationed in Japan.

It felt furry in my mouth.

I like every other kind of sushi, and would eat it every day.

[markodochartaigh]

5. I guess guacamole.

I always loved guacamole, all of the different recipes. But after covid (yes, vaxxed, boosted, and took precautions) my taste has not completely returned. Most things taste about the same, but guacamole and fried potatoes (two of my favorites) still taste almost like cardboard. I have tried guacamole every few months just to check but it is too expensive to keep up only to be disappointed.

[debm55]

9. Thank you very much for sharing with us, markodochartaigh. I am sorry that happened to you. I hope your taste returns.

[SheltieLover]

21. Oh no! Not guac & fried potatoes!

Healing vibes on the way to you!

[electric_blue68]

77. Good luck. Hopefully in time.

[MIButterfly]

6. Liver.

Once was one time too many.

I was at a party many, many moons ago and they had Rumaki. I refused to take a single bite. They said "It's Rumaki" and I said "you can call it whatever you want to but it's still liver and I'm not eating it!"

[debm55]

12. Thank you very much MIButterfly. I didn't know rumaki was liver. I wouldn't have eaten in either.

[SheltieLover]

20. Eating liver would be like consuming a used oil filter, imo

[debm55]

30. Very true, very true, SheltieLover.

[ProfessorGAC]

110. I Love The Flavor, But...

...the function of the liver definitely gives me pause.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

122. Likewise, so it has been decades since I've had it. . . . nt

[MIButterfly]

22. It's liver wrapped in bacon. Beware!

Not even bacon could make it taste better and bacon makes everything taste better. 🥓

[debm55]

31. Oh my, Thank you for warning me, MIButterfly.

[electric_blue68]

74. 😄 Not at you, your description!

[Tanuki]

150. .....

[Ziggysmom]

7. Hate the taste of artificial sweeteners. Especially Sweet and Low.

[debm55]

13. Thank you very much Ziggysmom. I agree. I drink my tea unsweetened.

[pandr32]

8. Australian Vegemite.

My stepson brought us some when he returned from Sydney and we were excited to try, but I spit it out. The idea of spreading it on toast and enjoying is incomprehensible to me! Hand me the jam please.

I don't get it!

[debm55]

14. Thank you pandr32, I like jam or preserves on my toast.

[electric_blue68]

75. I definitely wouldn't. Sounds very Unappetizing!

Heard about it for years. Aussies on line.

[ProfessorGAC]

112. Same Here

I tried it the first time I was in Australia. Tried to be the good American and do the "When in Rome..." thing.
Never again. Very unappetizing.

[pandr32]

119. They must expose kids to it while really young.

Otherwise, why would it be so nationally beloved?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

113. British Marmite is related but much better. Delicious, but expensive even when spread thinly the way it should be. . .nt

[pandr32]

120. I think it would work better as a flavoring enhancer for sauces.

It does come from a fermented yeast. I guess an expensive one!
My favorite toast spread from the UK is marmalade. I slather it on biscuits, too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

123. Love marmalade. Lime marmalade is the best, but hard to find and expensive. . . . nt

[pandr32]

127. I have a lime tree.

I've made marmalade with oranges, but I would like to try with lime. I bet it is wonderful.

[Wifes husband]

129. Marmite is disgusting

[eShirl]

10. Tofurkey

tasted like maybe it was tofu that had been forgotten about in the back of the fridge for 8 months

Could be meat. Could be cake.

[SheltieLover]

17. Tastes like an old tire...

[debm55]

18. My SIL invited us to Boston, She doesn't eat meat. We were serve Tofurkey. It was gross. Thank you eShirl.

[3catwoman3]

45. I've not ever had it, but the name "turducken" is a turnoff.

Not sure Duckeychick would be any better, but at least the first four letters wouldn't spell something unappealing.

[debm55]

48. Be glad you never had it. It was terrible.

[oberle]

70. Turducken

It's a chicken inside of a duck inside of a turkey. Nothing to do with turds.....

[3catwoman3]

72. I do know that. The name is unfortunate.

[debm55]

93. HAHAHAHAHAH. I remember seeing that on television. For a awhile it was a thing companies were pushing. I haven't seen it

recently.

[mwmisses4289]

131. It's actually not a new thing. Among the wealthy,

at least in europe until at least until the end of the 1800s, stuffing different birds inside each other was very much a status symbol, with the person getting the bit with the smallest bird being the most honored person at the meal.
Peacocks, flamingos, larks, chickens and pigeons were some of the birds used for this dish.

[Big Blue Marble]

151. I could not think of anything until I saw your post.

Had it once and that was it. It was horrible and I like Tofurky lunch slices.
Eat them all the time. Now for Thanksgiving, I eat Quorn roast, delicious
especially with my own dressing.

[Dorothy V]

11. Tuna casserole! I know it's comfort food to lots of folks, but ...

to me it's proof that fish and cheese Do Not Mix!
Even the smell gags me.
I like tuna salad. I love cheese. It's the combo of the two I can't abide.

[CrispyQ]

19. That is so funny, cuz the one thing I still crave after being veggie for decades is my tuna casserole.

I almost always had some in my fridge. I added black olives to mine. It was sooooo good!

[debm55]

52. Thank you very much, CrispyQ, We all have different tastes. I am very happy about your choice. Your tuna casserole is, I

imagine, way better than my mother's,

[Ilsa]

26. ITA! Tuna salad - yes.

Tuna and dairy: no way. Fish and dairy: nope.

[debm55]

56. Thank you IIsa. Enjoy.

[debm55]

32. Thank you Dorothy V. I agree with you 100%, I will eat tuna and cheese separately but not together. It just has a

strange taste.

[electric_blue68]

78. Omg, this!

I make a great special tuna salad; but it always has to be Albacore to start with.

I love sooo many kinds of cheeses! 😄

But tuna casserole? Gah! 😫 😄

[CrispyQ]

15. Oh Deb, I'll need a sheet of paper. I'm a picky eater.

[debm55]

33. HAHAHAHAHAHaHah. CrispyQ, that is such a great post. Thank you, my friend.

[SheltieLover]

16. Seaweed sushi

[debm55]

34. Oh SheltieLover, I had it in school. My class had an International Day. One student's mother was from Japan. She made

the whole class Seaweed sushi. I took one bite and thought I was going to barf. There she stood , smiling. I had to eat it.

[SheltieLover]

37. You are much nicer than I am, Deb.

No was in hell I would eat that. Yuck.

[Jeebo]

23. Frog legs.

Tried them at a local Thai restaurant a few weeks ago. First time but I'll never eat them again.

Several people have mentioned liver in this thread. I actually used to like liver and onions, but now, the mere thought of liver or any organ food totally grosses me out. Don't know what happened to bring about the change in my dietary tastes.

— Ron

[eppur_se_muova]

25. Tried them one time just to say I had tried them. Tasted "marine" in places, weakly like chicken in others.

Hard to see how it could be considered a delicacy.

[debm55]

41. Well, that sounds gross. Good reminder not to ever eat. Thank you eppur_se_muova.

Last edited Thu Aug 14, 2025, 07:03 PM - Edit history (1)

[debm55]

35. Thank you Jeebo for sharing your story. I have always heard the Frog legs taste like chicken. Is that true? Also the

dislike for liver never leaves, I got my dislike at a very young age. At 70, it is still here.

[rsdsharp]

24. Well, the water buffalo foreskin is a bit exotic, but it's off the list anyway.

The stewed eel was gross looking but tasted OK.

I will say I will never eat fake lobster again. We used to have a tradition with friends of having lobster tails and crab legs on New Year’s Eve. One year he tried to save some money and bought fake lobster. It had the consistency of styrofoam, and no taste. We dubbed it lobster loaf, and swore off.

[debm55]

36. Oh rsesharp ,you ate foreskin and eel. On my. Yes, for awhile fake lobster was the going thing. As my husband is from

Boston, we called it Loobster. I never had it or wanted to eat it. It is one reason that we never go to Red Loobster.

[rsdsharp]

38. I didn't have much choice. We were in Xian, on the way to Beijing.

At the last minute the flight was delayed. (CAAC stands for China Air Always Cancels.). They had to feed us, so they took us to a restaurant that catered to Chinese Government officials.

We didn’t know it at the time, but Gorbachev was going down in the USSR. When we did fly to Beijing later that night we landed not at the civilian airport, but a military base.

[debm55]

43. Great post, rsdsharp and thank you very much,

[Coventina]

27. A michelada made with Bud Light

Worst thing I've ever had in my mouth!

I should note that
1. I don't like beer (and I'm not even sure Bud light qualifies)
2. I don't like tomato juice (although I do love tomatoes!)

Runner up: Buttermilk

How can people drink that stuff?

[debm55]

53. That michelada sounds terrible. I like Bloody Mary's but I could bear the taste of a michelada. Yuk. When I was a kid

I liked buttermilk. I would put black pepper in in. Now it has been forever since a glass of it. Thank you, Coventina.

[electric_blue68]

80. You'll get a laugh, i think...

As part of my childhood picky eaterness...
I loved Campbell's tomato soup, ketchup, some kind of Italian spaghetti sauce, pizza....
.
But not actual tomatoes as is!😮 😄
Wasn't till my very late teens, early twenties that I finally liked, then love them.
Oh, boy especially when we started getting heirloom tomatoes in the later '90s at the Green Market!

[Coventina]

84. Very interesting! I actually didn't like tomatoes as a kid, and I put ketchup on EVERYTHING!

I learned to like and then love them as an adult as well!!

[electric_blue68]

86. 🙂👍

[debm55]

91. Love heirloom tomatoes on sandwiches. Thank you, electric_blue68.

[electric_blue68]

94. If I can get myself over to a green market...

...and get a crusty country bread; I might get some for a tomato sandwich. I'll lightly salt it, add a bit of garlic powder, and for me- 😉 mayo.

I always had them with a cheese sandwich, with hamburger & bun, or cut in salads, but not a straight tomato sandwich. If I do, I'll report back. 👍

[JT45242]

104. similar not a fan of raw tomatoes but they can be in stuff cooked especially if mashed up or diced real fine

Biting into raw tomato is just a weird sensation like your squishing a bug

[catbyte]

28. Raw fish sushi on Maui

It was all I could do to keep my gag reflex in check at the table. Thank God it came with pickled ginger -- it's the only thing that saved me. It was a texture thing.

And then there was that chocolate-covered grasshopper I tried in high school. I discovered that there were things I would not eat even if they were dipped in chocolate...

[debm55]

58. Thank you very much, catbyte. Is it safe to eat raw fish? At our market, they have an aisle of exotic foods. I once saw

tins of chocolate ants and grasshoppers.

[TommieMommy]

39. Don't like lamb, liver, eel and most fish.

[debm55]

59. TommieMommy , You are my twin. Those are on my list too.

[Trueblue Texan]

40. Gummies.

It was on my bucket list. I crossed it off in a visit to Washington state last year. Took me months to clear my head. Never again.

[debm55]

60. HAHAHHAHhah. Thank you Trueblue Texan, I have never had one before. However, I can still roll one.

[get the red out]

42. Okra

Pure slime!

[Jeebo]

47. My father loved okra.

When I was a kid, back in the 1950s and 1960s, he often served it at the dinner table. BUT, it was always boiled okra. I know just what you mean, it was disgustingly wet, slimy stuff. It felt like something an alien in a schlocky 1950s science-fiction film might eat. I hated the stuff. Years later, I discovered breaded fried okra. I like breaded fried okra, especially if it's fresh, crisp, hot and a little crunchy.

— Ron

[debm55]

64. Thank you very much, Jeebo.

[debm55]

61. Yuke. I have never tried Okra. Now I never will. Thank you, get the red out.

[Lars39]

89. When fried with cornmeal until very well done,

it tastes a bit like popcorn! And not a bit slimy. 🙂

[debm55]

99. Thank you very much, Lars39. That sounds better.

[LastDemocratInSC]

46. Marmite.

[debm55]

50. I had to look it up as I was unfamiliar with it. As I was reading, I started to gag. Yuk. Thank you LastDemocratinSC.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

117. Marmite is delicious. But it must be spread thinly. Many people spread it like jam and never try it again. A mistake. nt

[Bristlecone]

49. Durian.

Gross from beginning to end.

[debm55]

66. Thank you very much, Bristlecone. I would gag if I had to eat it.

[doc03]

51. The only lamb I have had is in a Greek

Giro, one of mh favirite foods. Now I had mutton once

[debm55]

55. Thank you doc03. I get my giro without any meat. This was a traditional Serbian wedding, which lasted for what seemed

hours. The reception served traditional Serbian foods. I liked most of them especially the baklava.

[Shermann]

62. I had a gyro with lamb from a Greek food truck a few weeks ago. Top notch! nt

[debm55]

63. Thank you very much, Shermann. This was skinned and brought to the table on a very large plate. It was not sliced or

anything. The server would slice it for you.

[Ocelot II]

54. Rocky mountain oysters.

No explanation necessary.

[debm55]

57. HAHAHAHAHAHHAH. Thank you. Ocelot II I promise you I won't.

[CanonRay]

65. Tripe

My aunt made it once and my father made me eat it.

[debm55]

98. So sorry, CannonRay. Just the look of it makes me want to barf.

[Grim Chieftain]

67. Nutella

I had it once about twenty years ago and still cringe when I see the commercials. I don't know what I was expecting, but that thick, greasy goo wasn't it.

[debm55]

100. I had it once, It reminded me a chocolate peanut butter. I was not impressed. Thank you Grim Chieftain.

[PJMcK]

68. But lamb can be delicious!

Several times a year we'll buy a twin rack of lamb tomahawks, marinate them in olive oil and spices/herbs then grill them medium rare. They'r e fantastic! A quality cut leg of lamb stuffed with garlic and roasted is a treasure beyond what I can describe.

But, teach their own, I guess. I urge you to give it another try but where the chef is preparing it just for you, not a wedding party. You might change your opinion.

[electric_blue68]

81. I wrote about Greek lamb shesh kabob above....

half 2nd Gen Greek American. Tons of Greek foods growing up w an extended family!

[PJMcK]

102. The tomahawks were like candy!

I love Creek food and those little babies were scrumptious!

[debm55]

101. Thank you very much, PJMcK. The dish you describe sounds delicious. Thank you. The lamb i had was a bland. I'll give it

a try.

[PJMcK]

69. Sea urchin

When it comes to food, I'm pretty adventurous and I'll try anything at least once. After all, if people are eating something, it must be appealing on some level. Whenever I travel, I try to sample the local cuisine because you never know what you'll find.

When I first started eating sushi, I was captivated by the variety of meats, their colors, textures and flavors, of course. I enjoyed them all until I tried a sea urchin. Yuck! It's texture was like something I cough up after a night of drinking and smoking and the flavor was like something found on a NYC sidewalk on a summer afternoon. Never again.

I even ate a live shrimp once on a bet but sea urchin... no f-ing way!

[Mosby]

73. The edible part of sea urchins are the gonads.

Just thought I would share that, lol.

[GP6971]

71. Chicken Hearts...just terrible.

[electric_blue68]

83. I hear ya!...

We're going to one of my favorite older cousin's for her first Greek Easter lunch.
I'm still in my fairly picky eater stage, but improving.

Mahgrista - Greek Easter soup.
Uh...oh.... what's that floating in there?

Two chicken kidneys, two chicken hearts.
Yes, I love my cousin. I managed to get them down.
But never again!

[Permanut]

79. Maple syrup..

Not sure why, but can't stand it.

And when dear old Aunt Laura made her special dish for Thanksgiving, I tried my best to sit at the other end of the table:

Candied sweet potatoes with maple syrup and marshmallows - the trifecta of awfulness.

[electric_blue68]

82. Liver, oysters, mussles, strong fish including salmon, licorice, cherries

Last edited Fri Aug 15, 2025, 02:00 AM - Edit history (1)

I do like liverwurst, though. Haven't had it in years. One of these days, I will get a little.

Probably a few more things. Oh definitely wi not eat raw sushi!

I realize I I've never had liver, oysters, or mussles. So misread.

[electric_blue68]

85. Tales of the (controversial!) Durian fruit...

Last edited Fri Aug 15, 2025, 11:06 AM - Edit history (3)

I first found out about it from a National Geographic. Waaay back in ?'79, or '80. It was quite an unknown quantity back then to the general public. Not quite so very well known, still, I think.
Origins- Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Expanded to a few more countries; Australia, Vietnam. Even Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

Custard texture but it's been described as eating the most heavenly dessert standing in a garbage dump. Yeah. 😱

People either absolutely love it, or abhor it! (More divisive than Trump!)
In a hotel a patron got busted for eating it in their room (air ducts). Special dogs on a Japanese Airline going to fly from Malaysia found a passenger with a super cellophaned wrapped, and newspaper covered one on their carry on.

While I was holed up for several hours in ?'80 at my client's apt w a sprained ankle (I was their graphic designer for some projects), I was talking to his wife. (We became friends, and still are)
.
She'd spent some time in Malaysia or Indonesia as a kid. I remembered the article. "Have you ever eaten a durian," I asked. She got a dreamy look in her eyes. "Ah, the durian", she said.
.
I wonder if me asking that question (she'd already had quite a varied life location wise) "said" to her that I might be an interesting person to get to know. Anyway, it turned out we had some major sympatico interests, too, which would cement a friendship.

I first saw one down in Manhattan's Chinatown in the '90s.I was almost shocked. 😄

[debm55]

95. Thank you very much electric_blue68. Great post.

[electric_blue68]

97. YW. Fun to recall what I learned, and memories of a new friendship.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

111. I've had durian. It has an interesting flavour and a disgusting aroma. I'd have it again. . . nt

[electric_blue68]

114. TY. I've read some taste vanilla like.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

130. What I had was a little like very creamy brie or camembert with hints of onion but sweeter than cheese but not by much.

Long ago and the memory is dim.

[electric_blue68]

135. Ty. Interesting.

I like brie. Never had camembert.

[Emile]

88. Rocky Mountain Oysters and Pickled Pigs Feet

The only time I ever ate them was when I was drunk at a little beach bar in Jacksonville Beach Florida. They had pickled eggs too, but I liked them.

[debm55]

92. Thank you very much, Emile. I like pickled eggs. I make them for Easter. My grandparents tried to give me pickled pigs

feet. I refused. They looked terrible. I never had the "pleasure" of eating Rocky Mountain Oysters, Thank goodness.

[JT45242]

103. Anything with mayonaise -- sandwiches, chicken salad, pasta salad ruined with it... just nasty stuff

May be rare as a pasty white guy who absolutely hates the stuff.

Give me a pasta salad with tricolor rotini, stoplight peppers, onions, carrots, celery, mccormicks salsd supreme spice blend, zesty italian salad dressing and some italian cheeses (parmesan, mozzarela, etc) instead (I pick around the black olives that my wife love in it).

When I say stuff drenched in mayonaise I just want to gag.

What passes for salads in the midwest (jello with whipped cream) -- do not eat that either.

[ScoutHikerDad]

105. Me Too!

Another pasty white guy here, and I actually have mayophobia. I even avert my eyes from it in the grocery aisle.

But I do love Greek lamb, though Australian tastes better to me.

[JT45242]

106. Lamb in Indian food is a favorite too

A good lamb curry is even better for me than a lamb kebab from a Mediterranean place.

[debm55]

139. Thank you very much, JT45242. Your pasta salad sounds wonderful.

[ProfessorGAC]

115. In My Travels, I Ate A Lot Of Odd Stuff

Aside from vegimite, which I mentioned in the thread, I can't think of anything I would say never again to.
Might not seek them out, but if it was there I would probably eat it.

[debm55]

142. Thank you very much for your post, ProfessorGAC.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

116. I'm not interested in trying sea cucumber (an animal) again. Dull, but a bit offputting in flavour & unpleasant texture.

[Mike Nelson]

118. We usually had lamb...

... at Easter. So, that was 1x per year. That was enough. I didn't think it was great, although I recall adults raved... Of course, we had Turkey about 1x per year, also. It was okay, but... honestly, I liked the stuffing and mashed potatoes more. I like Cow, Chicken, and Pig best. I think I had Rabbit once and liked it about as much as Lamb. I've learned eating animals isn't too healthy, so I try to cut down. I'm not vegan, though... I guess I'd call myself an aspiring vegetarian!

[Hassler]

121. Caviar at a wedding in Mexico. A salt bomb on the taste buds

With a weird slimy crunch thrown in. Not again.

[debm55]

149. Thank you very much, Hassler, the only time I had it, the caviar was salty too. You hear of all of these rich people

eating caviar. I don't see how. YUK.

[lark]

124. Lamb is also one of my least fave meats - never would touch it again.

Sauerkraut and okra are 2 other "horrible" foods which I would never again eat and didn't like either from the very first bite. I like most foods, but not those.

[debm55]

148. Thank you very much. I agree with the lamb and sauerkraut. Yuk. I never had okra, so I don't know if I would like it or

not. Thank you very much for sharing with us , lark.

[NNadir]

125. Okra.

[debm55]

147. Thank you very much , NNadir.

128. Sea cucumber when I was in China.

Tasted like and had the consistency of rubber bands. After on time, I started setting them aside.

144. I have to agree with you on that, deRien. My friends love calamari. It tasted like rubber bands to me.

136. The thing about lamb is that

meat from an ovine can be called "lamb" up until the animal is two years old. But it can only be called "Spring lamb" until it is one year old. And the difference between the two is dramatic.

If you have only tried "lamb" that was not "spring lamb", I can see why you are put off. And the grease is only one issue. With lamb that isn't spring lamb you are also tasting hormones.

Spring lamb is not greasy - it is juicy, has a taste I would call "delicate", and it can be eaten (and IMO is best when) cooked rare.

It is also pricey, since it it is not plenteous. So if you have never tried spring lamb, I suggest not doing so so you won't get "hooked" and break the bank account - especially now.

I also don't care for lamb. I just don't get the fuss over it.
