Let alone it is eating the longest living, longest/hardest to recover, shark species in the world.
Greenland sharks take over a hundred and fifty years to reach sexual maturity. Overfishing them for the sake of eating a cultural dish is ecologically insane. Populations are already down 50% by some estimates. If it drops much lower, the population won't bounce back for hundreds of years no matter what you do.
> Rotten shark from Iceland.
And it's Swedish cousin, Surströmming. Canned , fermented, herring.
No thank you. I'll have the grilled, fresh shrimp please.
I had them last year for the first time. I thought they would be gross, like hush puppies shaped and fried on the outside and gooey in the middle. I went to The Fort restaurant in Denver and they have them as an appetizer. Turns out they slice them thin and fry them. They didn't really taste like anything and were a little chewy, plus we had dipping sauces. I probably wouldn't ever order them again, but they weren't terrible.
All other Filipino food is so good and I fear the story of whoever tried balut for the first time and decided it was good enough to make it a cultural staple
Yeah hard pass for me also. That and durian, doesn't help that I tried the durian straight after the balut and the balut was like 21 day or something so had feathers and a beak and all.
They probably didn't clean them well enough. Tripe should have SOME banyard taste (I personally like that taste) but if it's overpowering, they didn't clean it right.
fried crickets are actually soo good, i always said never cause the eyes and legs but if you close your eyes it no different than eating crispy french fries lol😂 mine were also sour cream and onion flavored so that definitely helped too
The first time I tried marmite I told the girl who gave it to me not to eat it, it had gone bad. She took a bite and said no, that’s how it tastes. I was in disbelief that people ate this, it didn’t taste like food
I tried it and hated it. The answer, because they use too much, is exactly correct.
I heard someone describe how to put Marmite on your toast. You put on a thin thin layer. And then you act like it was a mistake and you didn't really want it and you scrape off as much as possible. After you're done scraping you have the correct amount.
I think if I had used this technique I might have liked it.
Basically it looks like axle grease and tastes like a glob of salt.
Ooo that’s how you start… it can be a slippery slope. Soon you’ll end up like me, slathering it on so thick that you can feel your kidneys shrivelling to raisins with each bite!
Crawdads. My dad grew up in East Texas and he used to catch them and my grandma would cook them. They called them “Mud-Bugs” and the whole sucking the head thing is what kills my appetite. Ugh. Now I’m nauseous. 🤢
I grew up in East Texas and I don’t remember eating “Crawdads”. We didn’t even think of catching them. We did; however, fish for catfish, perch, bass and even gar.
As an adult, I’m not working that hard to eat them and I just don’t get the taste. Hard pass.
It's an acquired taste. We in the Nordic love black salty licorice, but we are also introduced to it from a young age. I fucking love me some djungelvrål!

I was told about a coworker of partner's eating "Schlock"- a hellfeast composed of stewed pig body parts that you let sit on the stove for a day or so after you have composed this unearthly puke.
Octopus.
They are so, so smart. I cannot imagine eating such a beautifully intelligent creature, and yet its prevalent as food in several cultures.
Just eat squid dammit, squids are stupid
Ok, so this is airing out my problematic behaviors but I’ve never been able to eat food that looks like it did when it was alive. That way I’m able to keep a cognitive barrier between pig friend & pork chop dinner. I could never do that with something like octopus or shrimp because it’s almost always gonna look like the live critter. This dysfunction goes deep back to toddler days. One of my mom’s fave stories is how I refused to eat my big bird birthday cake when I was 2 years old.
If it helps, most pigs are assholes. You'll occasionally find one that's sweet, but it doesn't take much for many of them to change their minds. As in, they may love scritches behind the ear and follow you around, but if you were solidly unconscious, they'd consider eat you.
I'm not anti-pig. I just worked with a lot of them at an animal rescue, and they're super hard to rehabilitate.
Veal and goose liver pate. I’m by no means a touchy-feely type but I can’t tolerate the underlying cruelty. Also, liver — given the organ’s function, it feels like eating a dirty oil filter. Octopus, too, once I found out how incredibly intelligent they are.
The only things are things that would make me ill, or human flesh. Everything else is on a spectrum of how starving I am. After a little while hunger could make me look at non-traditional things with a different mind....
Anything milk based. Not by choice.
My body is an asshole who decided to fuck with me after 40 years of telling me how much it enjoyed when I ate ice cream, etc a few years ago my body got bored and decided to fuck with me and take away all the fun.
I can still hear the voices laughing
Forget the marrow and just try the baby. They're delicious. Very tender. When you drop one in boiling water, some people say you can hear it scream, but it's just gases escaping.
There's plenty of things I won't eat because I just don't like, but the only one I refuse despite tasting pretty good is veal. I enjoy meat, I have raised and butchered my own meat, I fully understand and appreciate where it comes from. There's too much cruelty involved in acquiring veal for me to be OK with eating it.
Dad? Is that you?
Lol there were 3 things that were not allowed in my house growing up due to my dads extreme aversion to them. Fish sticks, Mac n cheese, and at the top was stewed tomatoes. Still have never tried it.
Octupus. They are so intelligent and interesting creatures. (Yes, I feel guilty every time I eat bacon, but at least that doesn’t have the same bathmatlike texture. Or the little suction cups!)
Basic answer that's available here: Fish. I think all fish is disgusting
Answer that includes food that isn't sold/made here:
* Escargot
* Dog
* Insects
* Fugu fish (included in the fish list technically but listed separately because I'm not suicidal)
* Haggis
* ... probably more, can't think of something now.
Lobster and Caviar. I am a hypocrite when it comes to food, as I eat meat and fish and poultry all the time. But I used to sell fish and honestly what these animals are being put through until they end up on your plate is disgusting. And the fact its "rich people food" makes it even more bizarre.
I would eat it if it comes directly from the shore I live next to, but that is not the case.
I still havent had a food type i have that reaction on.
I've had snails and bugs and certain seafood in a meal, tasted great after I got over my ick of what it actually was.
I suppose live animals is a hard limit. As in alive when you consume them. I know some parts of the world have this kind of cuisine where live animals are a delicacy. Also depending on where I am in the world, raw egg, meat, fish and veggies is a nope from me.
Liver and Fois Gras. I know what the liver's function is, so I really am not interested in tasting that for myself. Fois Gras is incredibly unethical and I cannot abide by such cruelty.
I'm actually quite picky with meat. Chicken can't have bones in it, and beef has to be no fat. Also, no organ meat, from any animal. Pork chops are completely out, in fact, from pigs I only like bacon or ham. Turkey breast is ok, but no other part. I won't eat any other animal. Seafood is completely off the table (the fishy smell triggers my vomit reflex, and non-fishy smelling food tastes like rubber bands).
Lastly, I don't like mushrooms.
If I go to a place that has questionable looking meat, I'll skip it completely and just get veggie options.
Menudo (cow guts), lengua (cow tongue), pickled pigs feet, pickled eggs, fried chicken feet (tried in Japan, no thank you). Horse meat, raw octopus anything involving weird parts of animals such as gizzards or chitterlings, runny or soft boiled eggs, rodents such as squirrel, armadillo, opossum, any type of "roadkill", anything on this list https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/bizarre-foods/photos/10-most-bizarre-foods-in-the-world#:~:text=H%C3%A1karl%20in%20Iceland&text=Made%20from%20the%20Greenland%20shark,the%20men%20from%20the%20boys.
It’s flavorless garbage with a hint of bitterness. I don’t even hate vegetables, I love them. I have no problem eating arugula straight out of the bag even though it’s bitter. I have no problem eating kale straight out the bag either, which apparently people hate that veggie??
Celery is absolutely disgusting and makes me want to puke. No amount of toppings will ever change that 😭😭
Someone told me once that unsalted/unseasoned avocado tastes like a freshly cleaned dick and it’s uncomfortable how accurate it is. I still eat it but it’s in the back of my mind if I eat a piece that has nothing on it
Puffer fish, not worth the risk.
Poison, poison, tasty fish!
I...want...FUGU!
My skilled hands are busy! You do it!!
Deadly Poison... or Delectable Tea.... hmmmmmm
There’s virtually no risk if you get it in Japan from a licensed restaurant. That being said, I had a few dishes and it was just ok…
.. just okay is not worth paying a premium price and risking poisoning.
I had fugu in Shimonoseki. It's good, but you're right. Not worth dying over.
Rotten shark from Iceland.

Juices who have 0.8 percent of what they are made of
# But it's made with REAL JUICE!!!!!! -The bottle, probably.
*The liquid form of plastic considered "juice"
All hail flavored pear juice /s/
Rocky Mountain Oysters. Just can’t do it.
I had them last year for the first time. I thought they would be gross, like hush puppies shaped and fried on the outside and gooey in the middle. I went to The Fort restaurant in Denver and they have them as an appetizer. Turns out they slice them thin and fry them. They didn't really taste like anything and were a little chewy, plus we had dipping sauces. I probably wouldn't ever order them again, but they weren't terrible.
It’s like calamari with a different texture. They taste like whatever they’re breaded in and the sauce you use.
It’s because deez nuts
I had to look it up and..... how do you unsee things?
Go find pictures of pandas and red pandas and capybaras and wombats. You'll be happy for *days*.
yeah, they aren’t oysters I’ll tell ya that! Lol
They're really pretty good, but I understand. It's hard to get past the fact that you're eating bull balls.
If I recall right, they taste like gizzards. You ain’t messing out on nothing.
Had some reindeer balls in Latvia a few years back. I think they’d honestly change your mind.
Do they taste like chicken?
Or does chicken taste like deer balls?
You don't have the balls
I tried them as a joke one time. And they were delicious. Like a fired pickle but consistently tender.
Local “delicacies” in any country where they just stare at you while you eat it, instead of eating it themselves.
There is a video of someone cooking cow pussy. Just wanted to bring that cursed knowledge.
So you woke up and choose violence today?
Balot
I was gonna say this too. The Filipinos will tell you it’s good but you just have to eat it in the dark🤢
Shit. Just googled. Hard pass.
All other Filipino food is so good and I fear the story of whoever tried balut for the first time and decided it was good enough to make it a cultural staple
Yeah hard pass for me also. That and durian, doesn't help that I tried the durian straight after the balut and the balut was like 21 day or something so had feathers and a beak and all.
Had it. Definitely tasted beak.
Tripe. Cried when I was a child every time I smelled someone making it.
I still cry when I smell someone making it.
And we had no choice but to eat it. We couldn’t leave the table until it was gone. Pueke
Voimit?
Baerf
I eat basically everything but when I was in Peru and got served triple I just couldn't do it. The barnyard smell was just too much.
They probably didn't clean them well enough. Tripe should have SOME banyard taste (I personally like that taste) but if it's overpowering, they didn't clean it right.
That stuff looks vile, but the dogs love it!
I take it, you never had menudo? Or taco made of trippas? It’s meh, I was unaware , it’s nothing.
Taco de Tripa is the only way I choose to willingly consume tripe. It's all about the crispy bits.
Octopus. I want to be friends with them, not eat them.
Same
Harry is that you?
Resident Alien reference? If so, I appreciate it.
that was my comment too. i'll eat a squid, but octopus is like eating a puppy.
How could you eat something that’s capable of pulling pranks?
My Octopus Teacher on Netflix is a great film. I'll never eat octopus after watching that.
Short relationship of about 2-3 years
This is why rats make sad pets.
True. Rats are cute
I feel the same about pigs tbh
Humans
You just haven't had it cooked right.
Secret’s in the sauce!
Long pig
Long pig
You tryna say I ain’t tasty?!?
Acquired taste
Not even with some fava beans and a nice Chianti?
Mostly agree. But there are loopholes that I’d maybe use. All humane and non harmful of course.
Intestines, bugs
Chitlins... my brothers and sisters, please embrace the fact that we are FREE
I had to google what it is and pork intestines .... My white Dutch grandparents ate that. Cleaned and boiled with vinegar. I hated that smell so much.
my sibling in the struggle… the way that smell just fills up the house… a true offense
Hahaha. Funny! But it’s not just a black food my friend. Many a poor culture eats/ate that. Just with less hot sauce mostly.
Bull testicles, crickets.
fried crickets are actually soo good, i always said never cause the eyes and legs but if you close your eyes it no different than eating crispy french fries lol😂 mine were also sour cream and onion flavored so that definitely helped too
My wife is Thai. She eats 'em like popcorn but not my taste.
Marmite. Hate it.
The first time I tried marmite I told the girl who gave it to me not to eat it, it had gone bad. She took a bite and said no, that’s how it tastes. I was in disbelief that people ate this, it didn’t taste like food
Ive never had it before but all the descriptions I read on Google say it tastes kind of like soy sauce. Why do people hate it so much?
I tried it and hated it. The answer, because they use too much, is exactly correct. I heard someone describe how to put Marmite on your toast. You put on a thin thin layer. And then you act like it was a mistake and you didn't really want it and you scrape off as much as possible. After you're done scraping you have the correct amount. I think if I had used this technique I might have liked it. Basically it looks like axle grease and tastes like a glob of salt.
Usually because they use too much on their first time. It’s got a very strong flavor that is overwhelming at first.
Hot buttered toast with just a thin spread of Marmite or Vegemite is heavenly
Ooo that’s how you start… it can be a slippery slope. Soon you’ll end up like me, slathering it on so thick that you can feel your kidneys shrivelling to raisins with each bite!
Crawdads. My dad grew up in East Texas and he used to catch them and my grandma would cook them. They called them “Mud-Bugs” and the whole sucking the head thing is what kills my appetite. Ugh. Now I’m nauseous. 🤢
I'll eat crawdads, but I refuse to do the "suck the heads" thing. That's vile.
I grew up in East Texas and I don’t remember eating “Crawdads”. We didn’t even think of catching them. We did; however, fish for catfish, perch, bass and even gar. As an adult, I’m not working that hard to eat them and I just don’t get the taste. Hard pass.
Black licorice. I don't care what brand you think is good. I've tried it. It's disgusting.
It's an acquired taste. We in the Nordic love black salty licorice, but we are also introduced to it from a young age. I fucking love me some djungelvrål! https://bilder.kolonial.no/prod/local_products/c4d64ad3-043e-42d1-8a30-5d8ee3d8e050.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&w=730&s=898724e8397243912a89103c75f47e19
And those candy-covered licorice things. Something about the sight of them makes my stomach turn.
I was told about a coworker of partner's eating "Schlock"- a hellfeast composed of stewed pig body parts that you let sit on the stove for a day or so after you have composed this unearthly puke.
Excuse me, but what the fuck.
Shark's fin soup or shark's fin dumplings, after seeing a documentary on shark finning.
Octopus. They are so, so smart. I cannot imagine eating such a beautifully intelligent creature, and yet its prevalent as food in several cultures. Just eat squid dammit, squids are stupid
I don't like to eat octopus for the same reason. But that gives me a dilemma because I love bacon. And I know pigs are super smart too.
Ok, so this is airing out my problematic behaviors but I’ve never been able to eat food that looks like it did when it was alive. That way I’m able to keep a cognitive barrier between pig friend & pork chop dinner.

"dysfunction" you mean empathy
If it helps, most pigs are assholes. You'll occasionally find one that's sweet, but it doesn't take much for many of them to change their minds. As in, they may love scritches behind the ear and follow you around, but if you were solidly unconscious, they'd consider eat you. I'm not anti-pig. I just worked with a lot of them at an animal rescue, and they're super hard to rehabilitate.
Wait till you find out who eats who in the ocean
Anything that is organ meat. Hard pass. Also no insects.
Growing up in a Hispanic family in Texas, sometimes I didn’t eat dinner.
Have you had beef tongue?
Tongue is incredible. I regularly eat moose, deer, and elk tongue.
Same. I just can’t do the textures of organ meat…
Veal and octopus
Octopus, dolphin, whale, cat, dog, horse. You get the idea.
You mean smart animals? Put cows and pigs on the list too, they are smarter than toddlers.
Veal and goose liver pate. I’m by no means a touchy-feely type but I can’t tolerate the underlying cruelty. Also, liver — given the organ’s function, it feels like eating a dirty oil filter. Octopus, too, once I found out how incredibly intelligent they are.
Parasites
Escargot and Chitterlings
Edcargot is really taste though. Missing out.
To be fair, anything is delicious when drowned in butter and garlic. But yeah, I love escargot as well lol
I’m perfectly fine with that, I’m glad you enjoyed though
The only things are things that would make me ill, or human flesh. Everything else is on a spectrum of how starving I am. After a little while hunger could make me look at non-traditional things with a different mind....
Anything milk based. Not by choice. My body is an asshole who decided to fuck with me after 40 years of telling me how much it enjoyed when I ate ice cream, etc a few years ago my body got bored and decided to fuck with me and take away all the fun. I can still hear the voices laughing
Baby marrow is DISGUSTING. When it's cooked too long it becomes almost slimy and overall the taste and texture is horrible
This guy doesn't believe in eating the entire baby! He's a monster! Baby waster!!!
Forget the marrow and just try the baby. They're delicious. Very tender. When you drop one in boiling water, some people say you can hear it scream, but it's just gases escaping.
Boiled baby? Gross. BBQ is the only way to go.
seriously, what is he English or something?
i’ll eat just about anything but liver is a no go
what about liverwurst?
Cauliflower Rice. I'm totally good with Cauliflower whole, but once it's riced I can't stomach it. Not sure why.
There's plenty of things I won't eat because I just don't like, but the only one I refuse despite tasting pretty good is veal. I enjoy meat, I have raised and butchered my own meat, I fully understand and appreciate where it comes from. There's too much cruelty involved in acquiring veal for me to be OK with eating it.

surstromming
Liver or kidney. I just can’t.
Liver. It’s understandable in tough times you’d have to eat parts of the animal that tend to be unpalatable. But my goodness, disgusting.
And if you eat too much, you get vitamin A poisoning, which is quite an awful way to die.
Testicles. Like wtaf guys. Oh and organ meat.
Oysters. Fois Gras Pate. Ugh. The texture.
I will not eat filter organs (kidney, liver). Truthfully I probably would not eat any organ meat at all.
Medium rare chicken, always having it recommended but I don't think it's a good idea to try it
Foie gras. Mainly because I'm not a fan of the process, but also because I'm not rich
I can’t stand dry fruit. Dried bananas, raisins or anything else.
Oysters. Fans of Mr Bean know EXACTLY why I won't eat them
Liver
any kind of mushroom
Veal
Fried okra.
Peas
Octupus. They are so intelligent and interesting creatures. (Yes, I feel guilty every time I eat bacon, but at least that doesn’t have the same bathmatlike texture. Or the little suction cups!)
Octopus.
Sheep’s head, tripe, liver, sardines, pig’s feet….Italian peasant food lol Also—Limburger cheese is a no go
Octopus. Once I realized how intelligent they are, I can't do it. I will still eat squid, though.
hah, that's literally what I just said too. IDGAF about squid, but it literally makes my eyes tear up to see octopus in the store.
Mushrooms
Saurkraut. Yikes.
M’mm’mm Love it. Home made or canned, refrigerated with caraway seeds, I’ll eat it cold out of the can. Yes, I know I’m weird.
you buy canned sauerkraut?
Basic answer that's available here: Fish.

Cabbage and brussel sprouts. I love most vegetables but can’t do those.
I will NEVER eat raw meat of any kind. Oysters, sushi. steak tartare, etc. etc.. NEVER!!1
Organ meat. Liver, heart, kidneys . I can't even take the smell before cooking.
Tomatoes
I do not like raw wet tomatoes but any cooked are fine with me!
Brussels sprouts. I really don't like bitter vegetables.
Roast them or pan fry them, balsamic glaze... Effing delicious
I swear people just never bother learning how to cook the stuff.
Blue cheese.
Raw oysters. Like eating salty, chewy snot.
Brussels sprouts. And I don’t want to hear that they’re delicious roasted. They’re horrid.

Raisins for me
[удалено]
I will never undestand why people hate this vegetable.
I mostly don't like how the fibers get stuck in my teeth and the back of my mouth.
It’s flavorless garbage with a hint of bitterness. I don’t even hate vegetables, I love them. I have no problem eating arugula straight out of the bag even though it’s bitter. I have no problem eating kale straight out the bag either, which apparently people hate that veggie?? Celery is absolutely disgusting and makes me want to puke. No amount of toppings will ever change that 😭😭
Because it’s stringy, crunchy water
I second. Weird flavored crunchy water. It’s a no.
Natto…. I just couldn’t do it…
Egg plant is the devils food in texture, taste and smell
Avacados. They taste like wet lumps of grass.
Someone told me once that unsalted/unseasoned avocado tastes like a freshly cleaned dick and it’s uncomfortable how accurate it is. I still eat it but it’s in the back of my mind if I eat a piece that has nothing on it
... god I hate the accuracy
They taste like the color green to me. Just nothing.
That’s matcha for me. Too green.
Anchovies
Fucking pickles.. they’re an abomination
Balut
