Beef jerky: absolutely foul!

I bought slim jim as a kid thinking it was candy. I hate it when commercials mislead me.

Dried meat has way too much salt for my low sodium diet. Being in Texas I naturally
get exposed to jerky alot. Yes it can be dried into a leather like product. Which is more
How the Native Americans did it. Then they ground it up and cooked it forever in soups
to soften it. Jerky That is for eating as a snack needs to be carefully dried to retain
enoungh water to still be easy to eat. So in its ideal form other than too much salt
(needed as an anti-microbial agent due to the long drying times at near ideal bacteria
growth tempertures) and nitrites(used to avoid excessive browning and a potential
cancer causing agent) its very good.

Spam.

my uncle is obsessed with it. he's trying to get me to eat it.

Slice thin and fried till it is slightly crisp its good. But its too high in sodium for me.

Ludefisk. Around this time every year the caf at my college serves it (I go to a very Norwegian college) and all the old grads and crazy nordic Minnesotans flood the caf to partake of it. I have not, in three years, worked up the courage to try it and for good reason.

It is the worst food known to the human race. It is essentially fish soaked in lye for a few days until about half of the protein has been dissolved out of it and it takes on a translucent gelatin quality. It is then soaked for a few more more days so that the pH level goes from absolutely lethal to mostly deadly. It smells like 3 week old dead fish with a side order of brine.

Mcdonalds bigmac. almost anything mcd's, I'll eat it occasionally, but that's only after 2 am in the morning when all the other places are closed.

While I'm not a fan of beef jerky, I do eat it. (The raw protein helps my concentration.)


One of the most revolting foods is Cottage Cheese. The texture, the way it looks, yeeecchhh!! !

I'm not big on food presentation so I don't care how it looks. I find that cottage cheese is much better in the onion and chives kind. Pineapple cottage cheese is disgusting while plain cottage cheese is tremendously dull.

There was a fad at my sister's slimming club once for putting curry powder in cottage cheese....yeukkyyyy. Hope I've not put anyone off their lunch

The opposite has been with Marmite and Garlic with me.

I thought both of 'em looked and tasted disgusting until I tried it. You don't know until you tried it.

I like most foods people think are disgusting like Twiglets.

Foods, I thought I've tried but found disgusting are; liver + turkish delight.

I haven't tried a lot of foods and said they're disgusting without changing my mind...yet.

I like some of the drier, lower fat Cottage Cheeses. They mix into salads, very nicely.

YUCK ! !!

Some friends invited me over to dinner once. They claimed what we were eating was lasagna, when I inquired about the runny cosistency, she said, "Oh I used cottage cheese, ricotta is too expensive."

That's enuf for me, then ...

I love Cottage Cheese.

Starr, that reminds me of sweet chilli sauce over Philladelphia Cheese, which I like a lot.

There is haggis and then there is haggis. Some I hate, some I like. (I used to make it).

I am happy to try eating most things, but have never been able to come to grips with lambs brains.

Beef Jerky? That sort of thing ain't my bag, Baby!
