What would you say about snakes, rats, cockroaches, beetles, snails, frogs, spiders, worms, tracks, cats and dogs? They ALL may be very tasty and delicious. Do trust me. I tasted ALL of them. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/smile3.gif

Mmmm, seems that your worst (potato salad, brussels sprout (tie)) are in my "very edible" category:laugh:

But to answer your call;

Best = MEAT (with the exception of mutton)

Worst, I refuse to eat eggplant, lobster and mutton

[Elessar]

I like broccoli....good stuff...

Fresh corn....

Brussels spouts with wine vinegar...

Steak...grilled

Salmon .... grilled

Hate:

Eggplant...

Okra....

... h'm. Those sanctions must be worse than I'd thought, Balu ....

I don't count any of those 'livestock' items (or pets !!) as food. Here in the UK we take some small pride in our dietary aesthetics ... cue some haggis for proof ? :rolleyes:

Best food .. I'd have to choose beefsteak, preferably very chunky helpings.

Worst food .. I can't eat olives without wanting to vomit.

Olives are food's answer to Socialism. Slimy, greasy little blighters ... and the EU is a mass exporter ....

Mmmmmm, haggis !

Don't overlook the availability of Black Pudding (I often enjoy some generous helpings - Noir would NOT approve .. come to that, neither would any Muslim ..) ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding


Black pudding is a type of blood sausage commonly eaten in Britain, Slovenia, Italy, Finland, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Sweden, Estonia, Spain, Portugal and Latvia. It is generally made from pork blood and a relatively high proportion of oatmeal.

In the United Kingdom, black pudding is considered a delicacy in the Black Country and the West Midlands, Stornoway and the North West, especially in Lancashire (in towns such as Bury), where it is traditionally boiled and served with malt vinegar out of paper wrapping. The Stornoway black pudding, made on the Western Isles of Scotland, has been granted Protected Geographical Indicator of Origin status.

Black puddings are also served sliced and fried or grilled as part of a traditional full breakfast in much of the UK and Ireland, a tradition that followed British and Irish emigrants around the world. Black pudding is now part of the local cuisine of the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador

With apologies to Popeye .. Black Pudding is an excellent antidote to misguided spinach eating, because of its naturally high, eminently bio-available, iron content.

The above quote suggests eating it fried or grilled. Personally, I've found it quite tasty when it's eaten raw. It's very filling - you don't have to eat very much of it to feel you've got a full stomach.

Same here. Most of my meat dishes and starches (potatoes, mac&cheese) have lots of garlic. Usually just powder or minced in a large jar.

[Kathianne]

Best Entrees: lobster, shrimp, grouper, perch, sole, beef tenderloin, turkey, duck

Sides: nearly any veggie that can be roasted, especially love onions, peppers, spinach, and tomatoes. Love any type of potato.

Worst: hot dogs, any 'lunch meat' that isn't roast beef, roast turkey, or ham.

......you still up Balu?...:laugh:.....it is late in my neck of the woods.....understood... what you said above...I have done some traveling also...

[Abbey Marie]

I am not including Balu's list as I consider them inedible.

Best:
Broiled Scallops
Whole-belly clams
Corn on the cob

Worst:
Sloppy Joes (the WORST food EVER created on the planet. Guaranteed to make me gag just from the smell

My ex and I (before she was an ex) went to Club Med Turks & Caicos Islands (the second week of September 2001, if that means anything to anyone). Club Med is an all inclusive resort where all the meals are covered. Since it was the islands, the selection of seafood was the most amazing I'd ever seen and I pigged out to the max on grouper, crap, shrimp, scallops and whatever else was on the table. That said, I couldn't believe the number of people lined up for hamburgers and chicken! Their choice. That just left more seafood for me.

Wouldn't make a difference, I like just about any seafood. LA is a bit closer, still a ways. LOL!

Tried this one at home - comes out awesome.

[WiccanLiberal]

Most any seafood is a treat for me. Good ribeye steak is also a favorite. Really don't have too many dislikes. My upbringing was all about kids eating what was served or you didn't eat. I don't find brussels sprouts too palatable. Oddly I like desserts but don't like two big favorites at work. All my coworkers seem to love red velvet cake and cheesecake and I really don't like them.

[Voted4Reagan]

The Best - Rib-Eye or NY Strip Steak, A good Chimichanga or.... the SWINGBELLY Challenge.

Try coleslaw with chips. It may not be a combination many would think of .. but they go together surprisingly well. Add garlic for extra bite !

[Jeff]

Best- it's a tie between Seafood ( of any kind really) and Italian ( also about any will do )


Worst - Ragu or Hamburger Helper, either will get the plate thrown across the room . :laugh:

[Abbey Marie]

Lol, so many people tell me, "Oh, but you haven't had THIS cole slaw", or "You haven't had MY homemade cole slaw.

I don't want ANY cole slaw. If it combines cabbage and mayo, I detest it in all its forms and versions.

Not to mention how it often leaks onto the other foods on your plate. Disgusting.

To each their own, Abbey. Still, long-established British wisdom on the subject has it that ANYTHING goes with chips ... especially if you eat it all from newspaper-wrappings ...

[NightTrain]

Best : King Crab, Lobster, Bacon-wrapped Scallops on the BBQ, Bacon, Halibut, Moose burger (1:10 bacon-to-moose grinding ratio), home-made Lasagna 6" thick, Razor Clams, Filet Mignon, Eggs Benedict. Oh, and Hash Browns.

Worst : Spam, Bologna, any kind of processed turkey product, tofu, oatmeal. I am violently opposed to oatmeal of any kind and I believe it should be banned from the planet. That smiling Quaker is the devil.


Yeah, Abbey.. I totally understand what you're saying about "Oh, but you haven't tried MY recipe!" I'm 44 years old and I know that I don't like to eat freshwater fish, no matter how it's prepared. Invariably when I tell someone that, they'll go into a 10 minute description of how I'm going to LOVE their fish. It's still fish, and I don't like it. I love Halibut because it doesn't taste like your normal fish.

Ack! No moose burgers! We try to spot a (living) moose every year in Maine. Just to appreciate their incomparable moos-iness. They are not the easiest animals to find. We even went on a moose-watching hike in the woods around Mt. Katahdin. (Saw a mama and baby in the pond feeding on pond vegetation).

About 25 years ago I was attending a party and Little Caeser's was on the menu... we all got horribly sick from food poisoning. I've not eaten from there since then.

[jimnyc]

See, if someone asked me if I wanted "chips", I would say no. But those are yummy looking FRIES!! Next best thing to pizza is french fries... errr.....chips!!

[jimnyc]

I just used that for my "pizza" comment, I wouldn't eat their crap either (ok, I would). We have awesome pizza in NY, so never a shortage of the good stuff. But if they're closed, or late at night - hell, I'll eat Domino's or even the frozen microwaveable crap. My obsession started back in my early stoner years. Kinda hard to find much else willing to deliver a pizza at 2am. :) :laugh:

Absolutely!

[jimnyc]

Oh yeah. And there are so many places, depending on how you like it. I don't care for all the different weird ways, just give me a regular 'ol cheese pizza.


Desperate times call for desperate measures! I'd have to be awfully damned desperate to try them again, though.

Oh man, you should have seen the time that Mom woke up and caught me making chocolate pudding in the middle of the night, and I think that's while I was waiting on a pizza!

I would guess that there aren't enough of them around Maine to hunt, but the damn things are everywhere up here. The average moose body count every year is 280 just in my immediate area from vehicles alone.

Did I ever show you the picture of a friend feeding a moose from my living room window?

Potatoes. You can do so much with them. potato soup, scalloped potatoes.

I just made scalloped potatoes yesterday. They looked pretty much like this

http://www.debatepolicy.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7416&stc=1

Oh and cheese. :coffee:

Good point, Pixie. Not sure I ever met a potato dish I didn't like.

I cannot stand to smell, much less eat pizza from Little Ceasar's or Domino's. I hate, loathe, detest White Castle.

[Kathianne]

Maybe it's an Irish gene, but I've not met a potato cooked that I won't eat. LOL!

Abbey I am not being a smart a$$ at all but as a vegan you do eat fish ? Is the lack of meat a health thing ? I always thought most didn't eat it because of the cruel way they are raised and slaughtered, to me fish would fit in there as well as say fowl, different kinds of vegetarians ?? Again I am curious not trying to be a smart a$$.


About 25 years ago I was attending a party and Little Caeser's was on the menu... we all got horribly sick from food poisoning. I've not eaten from there since then.

NT just riding by Little Caeser's makes me sick, and here in the south those $5.00 pizza's are popular. :puke:

[Jeff]

I cannot stand to smell, much less eat pizza from Little Ceasar's or Domino's. I hate, loathe, detest White Castle.

I couldn't agree more with the pizza deal Kat, but rat burgers. nothing better than after drinking all night to see how many you can eat, come to think of it I don't think I could really tell you what they even taste like. :laugh:

[NightTrain]

I love steamed clams, clams on the half shell, steamers but never heard of Razor Claims, what are they NT ?

Oh man, they are delicious!

You start with this (these are larger than normal) :

http://www.debatepolicy.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7420&stc=1


And you put them in hot water to pop the shell open, and clean them and you end up with this :

http://www.debatepolicy.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7421&stc=1

The idea is to rinse all of the sand out of them, otherwise you're crunching on sand in your clams... which is kinda distracting. You don't eat them on the half-shell because they have to be cleaned first, but fresh off the beach these are a slice of heaven!

The fun part to going clamming is watching the kids get as filthy as they want without getting yelled at. They love getting covered in mud/sand/water from head to toe, of course. They call them Razor Clams because the ends of the shell that point skyward when they're buried and you're digging for them (by hand) will cut you like a razor - they're very sharp. The trick is to scoop your hand in a direction from the beach to the ocean so your fingers go across the sharp edges instead of along them. The clams always position themselves flat-side-to-the-ocean standing up vertically when they're buried.

I haven't gone clamming in a few years... it's a lot of fun and worth the effort to get those tasty little fellas.

I really don't like slimey, not in taste and not visually.Thus no okra, mussels, squid, oysters, etc. Don't get me started on sushi! Ick!

Calamari, oysters, clams, and mussels are not slimy - slugs are slimy. :laugh:
You'd love mussels done in white wine the French way.

The seafood dish I had last night had konjac which I'd never had before. It was slippery without being slimy, if that makes sense.

[BJ_WA]

I love snails and order them every time I see they are on the menu. The garlic butter and French bread are the best part.

[Perianne]

Best and worst foods?

Best - broccoli

Worst - hominy, potato salad, brussels sprout (tie)

I was just now reading a Foxfire book and it told how to make hominy. Get this, you have to wash the hominy repeatedly to get the poison (lye) off of it. I can't remember exactly when it was that I tried hominy, but I remember the taste. Oh, so horrible.
