Foods you wouldn't eat even if you were on Survivor

Statistically, any given culture only makes use of 10% or less of the available food sources in their area, due to taboos and general human fickleness. Only in the most agriculturally challenged areas, like in African, are available food sources exploited more fully. Bugs are a ready food source in almost every place in the world, and in certain places like Africa and South America, are an important staple. In fact, bugs, next to fish and shellfish, are the best and healthiest protein source available to humans. So I'd eat them - I just won't eat them, knowingly, alive. LOL.

I love squid, and all shellfish and fish for that matter. It's brain food, and I need a lot of brain food. Fisha nd shellfish help me manage my depression. Delicious too. Some days I have really bad craving for shellfish or fish and just eat tuna or clams out of the can, or go buy a half pound of cooked shrimp at the store and eat them in the car. I like octopus a lot too, but feel a little guilty since they're incredibly intelligent animals.

Yes, Aylissa,
Supertasters' syndrome is a fairly new diagnosis, but there is stuff on the internet about it. Most pepole who experience this cannot tolerate sour or bitter foods, as well as certain textures, with celery and onions a good example. In addition to the items I previously mentioned, I cannot stand cottage cheese as well, although I love most hard cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella. I also like most gravies and catsup and smooth barbeque sauce, but I can't get near mayo or relish. I'm not much of a seafood eater, either, but I do enjoy my beer battered shrimp from time to time. Beer battered English style fish and chips is sometimes good, too. Some eating places really dread seeing me coming in.

I'll eat just about anything that doesn't try to bite back while I'm putting it in my mouth.
Very few foods disgust me except.....

Brussel Sprouts....I couldn't even down one of those things. And they Do Not taste like cabbage.

Cantalope....The smell makes me want to puke.

Liver

Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew.....Not even when I'm really thirsty.

Oh, and I can't even squash a cockroach and have to sweep him out the house since I don't want to touch it. So you can forget about me eating one.

Now octopus and squid sound interesting, hmm.

Tripe
The lining of a cow's stomach, if you want to know.
It smells the way it looks.

dog turd
snake
cow penis
bull testicles

Anything too spicy.

Poison ivy, hemlock, unknown types of berries, dogs, pigs, camels, jellyfish, stingrays, unknown mushrooms, stuff the opposition recommends...

I cannot tolerate cheese in any way, shape or form. It all smells like rancid BO to me.

Also, things with a gelatinous texture trigger my gag reflex.

Also, never eat durian that has been sitting in the back of whole foods for a month and has been marked down to 99cents. On a second though, just avoid durian altogether. Trust me on this one.

Same goes for lutefisk, even though I've never had to eat it before.

Now that looks nasty, like a turd on a biscuit

wow... that literally looks like sh1t

tomatoes I'm a really big food issue aspie and sliced tomatoes make me really gag

i luv tomatoes... i cant eat them but i can drink tomato juice <3

headcheese is good, its just jello with meat in it, I make mine with ham and smoked pork hocks, and there is no fat it, I use to think it was gross until my mom made me a sandwich with it, I think processed cheese food is gross, also twinkies and anything twinkie like, is garbage, why would anyone in their right mind eat that

it looks like diarrhea on a cinnamon bun

like taste and soup but dislike sliced its the texture have lots of foods I won't eat but to many to think about.

spam if they gave us spam I wouldn't eat it
