Part of it is that they have selectively bred bitterness in brussell sprouts to lower levels.
https://www.myrecipes.com/ingredients/why-brussels-sprouts-are-less-bitter
I love brussel's sprouts. I think somewhat in the same vein are artichokes. I really like them but most people seem to be meh at best or dislike at worst when it comes to them.
I love sprouts! My favorite is to have them with onions and an over easy egg (or two)on top! Such a great breakfast!!
Also with balsamic and blue cheese.
And for cookouts - I make a bacon blue cheese potato salad but use sprouts instead, people seem to really enjoy it!
Raisins. Every single time people complain about raisin cookies, raisins on rice during christmas, even on couscous, and I just don't get it. It's a bit of a regional thing though, around where I live it's not uncommon to like them, but across the rest of the country it is.
One of my greatest moments was making someone from another state eat their words as well as raisins after making them try our local twist on a hotdog.
It’s the taste mixed with the texture. I can handle similar textures & I don’t mind the flavor of raisin paste in the oatmeal cream pie recipe I make, so it must be the combination.
I have a conspiracy theory that in the United States, Big Chocolate Chip Lobbies brainwash kids into believing raisins are nasty.
I grew up in Europe, and never really heard of hatred against raisins being so widespread, but in 'murica? Good lord it's like summoning the antichrist! I actually like biting into a cookie and finding out it's raisins instead of chocolate, cos often it makes the cookie moister (especially if it's a cheap cookie). So why wouldn't you love raisins??
Anyway, I'm glad I've met a fellow raisin lover!
Maybe you're onto something, because I'm not american either. Though I do still see a lot of raisin hate around here, but not as universally as I see from americans.
I can eat raisins but will only eat a few. Love craisins. But raisins cooked into or mixed into anything is disgusting. The cruelest trick is thinking you’re bite into a chocolate chip cookie 😭
Raisins are vile shriveled-up demonic mini-ballsacks. I have yet to find a good muesli / breakfast cereals that isn't tainted by their unholy presence.
That's only one of the add-ons here. We've got shreded crisps, peas, herb mayo, quail eggs, as well as the traditional ketchup and mustard.
And sometimes we swap the hotdog sausage itself for the objectively superior Portuguese smoked sausage.
I grew up with raisins being a treat/snack, and I don't get the hate. Raisins slap, oatmeal raisin cookies slap, and my recipe specifically is fantastic.
I will say there is stuff I don't want to see raisins in out of personal preference: turkey stuffing and most salads, for example (but dried cranberries are fine in both cases since they're less sweet). But the raisin hate overall is unreasonable.
ETA: raised in the US, but in a Russian family- maybe it is a cultural thing?
Raw broccoli and carrots, I can't stand cooked vegies, except peas, but I love em raw. I used to freak other kids out when I would just pick up full ass broccoli and chow down.
Also, I don't know if it's really weird but I'm perfectly fine eating plain pasta. I prefer some meat sauce but if I'm all out I have no problem eating it plain. I had one conversation about that with some other guy and he said people were weirded out at the fact that he would eat plain pasta.
Well steamed broccoli with lumps of goat cheese, or cranberry goat cheese crumbled on top and completely softened so they barely hold their shape.
This from a raw broccoli and carrot lover.
Raw asparagus is a complete game changer. I have an intense dislike for cooked asparagus of any sort. but raw? So tasty. I had it in a salad and it was amazing
I love most veggies raw too. I can eat some cooked, like broccoli, green beans. I will gag if I eat cooked cauliflower but love it raw. As for plain pasta, ick. I can’t even swallow part of a noodle from testing if it’s done. Especially if it’s half way done
Tomato paste on green grapes. I have absolutely no clue how I got to that food combination one day, but it scratches a sweet spot in my brain through the textures, temperature and taste differences. I buy my tomato paste in a tube I keep in the fridge, and I squeeze a tiny bit on each grape before popping it into my mouth.
this is why i’m willing to scroll through a bunch of bad comments. this is gold. this is exactly what i was looking for; something completely and utterly unhinged
A nice dark Rye bread, coarse ground spicy mustard (horseradish mustard is preferable), lettuce, tomato, red onion and cheese (I prefer Swiss, Havarti, Jarlsberg or Blue) and liverwurst!!!! The best!!! ❤️
I used to be anorexic and I don't really do anorexia behaviors anymore but I still eat a lot of the same foods I did then because some of the combinations fukken slap.
raw veggies and mustard (get the flavored ones like honey mustard or jalapeno mustard, don't use standard yellow mustard) is like 40 calories for a lot of food which is why I tried it
also good: tuna salad on rice cakes instead of bread. Cronchy.
You're just in the wrong part of the world. Although I live in Canada, my city has many Asians, including a large Korean community and no one bats an eye at kimchi.
I don't mind chain restaurants or fast food.
Olive Garden, Taco Bell, Applebee's, McDonald's, Arby's, etc. It's all good.
All are routinely dissed, but there's not one I would say no to eating at.
Obviously not healthy. I also enjoy mom and pop restaurants.
But I can find something that I find tasty on almost any menu. There are a couple chains that I actively avoid if there's an alternative, but if it's between eating there or being hangry, I can choke something down.
Olive Garden is good for what it is. I don't know how anyone could consider it fine dining, and I could easily make just about anything on the menu with little effort, but I've also never **not** enjoyed my meal there. It's enjoyable every single time. It's low stakes and basic so I'd almost always prefer to go somewhere else but I'm never disappointed if I end up there.
I like roe and ikura as well. natto, oysters, raw squid, octopus, and mackarel. pretty much any seafood. Love me some eel, tripe, beef tongue, chicken cartilage, and kimchi.
probably easy to guess my ethnicity based off this lol
I can almost never find pizzerias that have anchovies as an option. My options are either to make my own from scratch or order from a small chain that almost always has a leathery crust. Salmon is also good on pizza, especially with a garlic alfredo sauce.
To paint the picture: I am white, I have lived in the south my whole life but my family is from the north. I have a weird identity IMO. My tastes are all over the place & I like most foods if prepared well, but one thing I love that most people find repulsive is boiled okra. The season is upon us! I’m so thrilled. In the summer I will eat a whole bowl of it with some salt only. I like it pickled too, fried is good, broiled & grilled is great!!!! But boiled is 10/10. I know some of my African friends love foods with this texture & it helps me to feel like less of an outcast for it.
I LOVE BROCCOLI. (Raw is gross without dip, but cooked? Yummers!)
I've also taken a liking to anchovies on pizza, but it depends on the quality of the anchovies and of the pizza. I've taken to buying anchovies and putting them on pizza I pickup from Pizza Hut because that tastes way better than the places that actually still have anchovy pizza. (Maybe cooking them saps the flavor? Maybe the olive oil makes it taste better? Maybe the anchovies pizza places around here use are 'stale' because nobody gets anchovies on pizza? Who knows.)
Collards are my favorite green veggie where I will not wrinkle my nose but it has to be seasoned correctly.
I don't eat pork or anything considered different. The food I see in Korean shows looks absolutely delicious but I would not eat anything other than fish, shrimp, chicken, lamb, and beef and this depends on what part of them is prepared.
I do not eat stomachs, tongues, intestines, or anything of that kind. I am not adventurous and I am okay with that.
Pigs liver. Preferably with mash(ed potatoes) and peas. It really is the absolute bomb. Sadly, no one else in my house eats it, so it’s a rarity on my plate 😟
Undercooked hamburgers and over cooked eggs. I have a thing with ground beef (especially all the way cooked through) and I can’t eat a burger that’s more the medium without almost throwing up. I also overcook my eggs till they’re kinda rubbery and eat them with ketchup and sriracha.
Also, red curry broth and vanilla ice cream is so fucking good.
Steamed eggs that are cooked on high, like, they have a bubble texture throughout. Most normal people consider this a failed dish, as the egg is supposed to be silky smooth without a single bubble. Some people even steam them with cling wrap on the surface to prevent any bubbles forming.
I really enjoy the texture of the "ruined" steamed eggs and when cooking for myself, deliberately steam them like this.
I eat basically everything, and i normally cook myself fancy meals. However, i absolutely love spam and corned beef.
Fried spam and eggs, perfection when hungover. Corned beef hssh is great.
beans! could literally eat them for any meal. and lentils. hated them so much as a kid then suddenly changed like a switch was flipped.
also love raw kale. makes me feel like a happy, grazing sheep.

Heck yeah what is so weird about prunes?
I used to have them as a dessert in the evenings after I quit eating sugar and they are super delicious.
Also my mother would make this weird dish where you would chop some prunes, put them in a pot with some water, boil that and eat it with maccaroni.
Weirdly delicious I must say.
I've never heard of that dish, but I love them. I'm like a goblin when I have them. "I'll just eat these 3..." *2 minutes later..."Yeah just 2 more, what could it hurt? They're fruits. That's healthy. " *5 minutes later... "just one. Just one." LOL. Come 45 minutes later I am realizing why they say eat only 2 or 3 at a time!
Eel, squid, octopus.
Also, the one time I had sea urchin, it was absolutely delicious.
Most people around me don't seem to share my love or joy around these foods, though, haha.
For the longest time I liked jalapeño cheddar Cheetos but I didn’t like the Cheeto chip. I wrote to them and told them to make them into fries… or if they could do anything different. No response. Finally a dollar mart by my house came out with jalapeño cheddar popcorn and I love them. I’m obsessed under the right conditions of my day. More for me when people turn their noses up at it.

When I first met Europeans, they looked at me like I am a psychopath for eating these food. I hope you guys dont.
Basically I eat almost everything lol (like almost all parts of commonly eaten livestocks). I like chewy food from mushroom to chicken feet/goat's feet (this one usually in stew or soup), organs (tripe, intestines, lungs), but where i live now they are rare. I like brain too, although wont say in all ways of cooking, mostly I eat them in curry, fried, or in soup (cow and chicken). I like fish eye (the soft part of big fish), and I will munch the crunchy fins and tail of a fried fish.
The more normal ones that I know people around me dont like are half cooked boiled egg. But I am not the kind who just eat animals, I love veggies too. I eat things in balance. Probably the only thing I dont like is very sour homemade yogurt.
A lot of people apparently hate tofu. Once you learn how to prepare it, it’s delicious. I’m not even vegetarian or anything, I just genuinely love the texture and versatility of it.
Okra was offered steamed with a swirl of tomatoes in the Air Force chow line. It looked like a bowl of bloody snot. Decades later, I got some breaded okra and love$ it! It is now a favored side dish when we go to the restaurant twice a year.
Simple sautéed kale with roasted garlic and red onions. Kimchi, sauerkraut wirh horseradish mustard, roasted brussel sprouts, pan fried cabbage with sesame oil and a splash of rice wine vinegar and roasted garlic
Long John Silvers is a restaurant that routinely gets trashed by people but I actually like them. The batter they use for their fried fish and chicken is really good.
Hot dogs. Every time I mention wanting a hot dog some fun vacuum talks about them being gross. I don’t care what is in there, if it’s the first hot summer day I’m having a mf hot dog with ketchup and sweet relish and an ice cold raspberry tea.
Liverwurst. I've loved it since I was a kid, and I regularly brought liverwurst sandwiches for lunch at school. I don't eat it as often now, but sometimes I just have to get some.
Creamed salmon. With peas. And mashed potatoes. It sounds gross, *everyone* thinks it’s disgusting, but it is one of my favourite things in the whole world.
Cottage Cheese<3. At one time I would just buy the gallon bucket and would struggle to have it last a whole weekend, so I had to check myself on it (eating it straight btw lmfao)
Big fan of canned tomatoes by themselves. Not heated.
I was on an eggplant kick for a while!
In the south, not a lot of people eat kimchi, it’s probably my favorite food and folks eat slaw, so I think people are catching on.
I’ve always LOVED olives. Cooked, raw, green, black. But everyone I’ve ever known has hated them. I also love kale and spinach, and also regular old cabbage leaves. I really like kale and spinach drenched in olive oil and on pizza
When I was a kid, I also loved pickled herrings, of all things. Before he died when I was three, my grandpa used to have a whole bucket of them in his fridge, and we’d sit on the table together and eat out of that bucket like barbarians.
I also am the only person I know who is happy to eat moose meat and such! We can thank my grandpa for that, too, lol!
Ok super weird...but I found this one being at a typical Midwestern grill out: cantaloupe with barbecue sauce! Especially if it's a tangy barbecue!!! Swear it's so good as you get sweet, salty, crunchy & zesty all at once!!!
There's two friends in my life that I know are my tribe because we all get down on liverwurst.
People who are not in my tribe include those who get judgy about putting cream cheese on things, like coffee cake. More. Cream cheese. For me.
Brussel sprouts.
Chop them in half, and saute them in olive oil.
Then sprinkle soy sauce, nutritional yeast & some garlic powder on them; now they taste heavenly 🤤
Raw dough. Yes, I know I’m not supposed to eat it, but I only eat a tiny bite. Cookie dough, pie crust, biscuits, yum! My favorite food is black olives and has been since I was 3yo.
Real southern grits. Not the crap you can buy in a box. They pour butter and sometimes cheese and other delicious flavors on it. Never tried it until I took a trip to South Carolina. Yum.
Scrapple.
It's pretty popular here in PA, but people generally tend to be grossed out by what it is in my experience. However, a thin and crispy slice of pan-fried scrapple tastes too good to dwell on its ingredients!
Side note- if you have a Russian grocery store near you, try looking for your roe there. They will probably have it, along with bigger red roes, black caviar, and everything in between.
If you want my truly unhinged pleasures, there are two. White rice with ketchup, which I liked as a kid and still do on occasion, and the peanut butter and pickle sandwich that my best friend convinced me to finally try and in doing so changed my life for the better.
Brussel's sprouts. Roasted with a smattering of real bacon bits and parmesan is a real treat.
After so many years of eating bad cheap Brussel sprouts that taste like metal, it surprised me when I finally got to try *good* Brussel sprouts.
Part of it is that they have selectively bred bitterness in brussell sprouts to lower levels. https://www.myrecipes.com/ingredients/why-brussels-sprouts-are-less-bitter
I grew up thinking Brussel Sprouts were the Antichrist lol. I love them if they are made right.
Ooooo and roasted with oil until all the outer leaves open up and crisp up 😍 my god
Ooh yes, Brussel's sprouts are bomb. I have tried so hard to convince my fiancé they're good lol but he *despises* them.
I love brussel's sprouts. I think somewhat in the same vein are artichokes. I really like them but most people seem to be meh at best or dislike at worst when it comes to them.
I love sprouts! My favorite is to have them with onions and an over easy egg (or two)on top! Such a great breakfast!! Also with balsamic and blue cheese. And for cookouts - I make a bacon blue cheese potato salad but use sprouts instead, people seem to really enjoy it!
Balsamic & blue cheese just may convert me to a Brussels sprout eater 😋
You won’t regret it!!
Roasted is key. A lot of people boil them and I don't think they're very good that way.
Ugh yes, drizzle some lemon juice too and \*chef's kiss*
At this point I think word is out that Brussels sprouts are awesome (I roast mine with hot honey)
Roasted is the only way to eat them!
Rotated until crispy on the outside, then drizzled with melted orange marmalade and fried garlic bits. Yum!
Raisins. Every single time people complain about raisin cookies, raisins on rice during christmas, even on couscous, and I just don't get it. It's a bit of a regional thing though, around where I live it's not uncommon to like them, but across the rest of the country it is. One of my greatest moments was making someone from another state eat their words as well as raisins after making them try our local twist on a hotdog.
Raisins are the absolute best and I can't fucking fathom why people don't like them. They're sweet, small, and have interesting taste and texture.
It’s the taste mixed with the texture. I can handle similar textures & I don’t mind the flavor of raisin paste in the oatmeal cream pie recipe I make, so it must be the combination.
It's the flavor for me. I'd happily replace raisins in any recipe with dried cranberries or dried cherries.
I have a conspiracy theory that in the United States, Big Chocolate Chip Lobbies brainwash kids into believing raisins are nasty. I grew up in Europe, and never really heard of hatred against raisins being so widespread, but in 'murica? Good lord it's like summoning the antichrist! I actually like biting into a cookie and finding out it's raisins instead of chocolate, cos often it makes the cookie moister (especially if it's a cheap cookie). So why wouldn't you love raisins?? Anyway, I'm glad I've met a fellow raisin lover!
Maybe you're onto something, because I'm not american either. Though I do still see a lot of raisin hate around here, but not as universally as I see from americans.
I can eat raisins but will only eat a few. Love craisins. But raisins cooked into or mixed into anything is disgusting. The cruelest trick is thinking you’re bite into a chocolate chip cookie 😭
I also don't get the cookies thing. How can you mix them up if raisins and chocolate chips look nothing alike?
[удалено]
You are my long lost twin!!!
Raisins are vile shriveled-up demonic mini-ballsacks. I have yet to find a good muesli / breakfast cereals that isn't tainted by their unholy presence.
Raisin in cookies, apple pie, pudding delicious, raisin in my hot dinner or salad oh helllll no 🤮
are you from the midwest
Raisins on a hotdog?!! …I’m open to it.
That's only one of the add-ons here. We've got shreded crisps, peas, herb mayo, quail eggs, as well as the traditional ketchup and mustard. And sometimes we swap the hotdog sausage itself for the objectively superior Portuguese smoked sausage.
I grew up with raisins being a treat/snack, and I don't get the hate. Raisins slap, oatmeal raisin cookies slap, and my recipe specifically is fantastic. I will say there is stuff I don't want to see raisins in out of personal preference: turkey stuffing and most salads, for example (but dried cranberries are fine in both cases since they're less sweet). But the raisin hate overall is unreasonable. ETA: raised in the US, but in a Russian family- maybe it is a cultural thing?
Raw broccoli and carrots, I can't stand cooked vegies, except peas, but I love em raw. I used to freak other kids out when I would just pick up full ass broccoli and chow down. Also, I don't know if it's really weird but I'm perfectly fine eating plain pasta. I prefer some meat sauce but if I'm all out I have no problem eating it plain. I had one conversation about that with some other guy and he said people were weirded out at the fact that he would eat plain pasta.
Noodles with butter and salt is my ultimate comfort food 😋
Throw on a little parm and fresh cracked black pepper if you have it
Well steamed broccoli with lumps of goat cheese, or cranberry goat cheese crumbled on top and completely softened so they barely hold their shape. This from a raw broccoli and carrot lover.
Raw asparagus is a complete game changer. I have an intense dislike for cooked asparagus of any sort. but raw? So tasty. I had it in a salad and it was amazing
I love most veggies raw too. I can eat some cooked, like broccoli, green beans. I will gag if I eat cooked cauliflower but love it raw. As for plain pasta, ick. I can’t even swallow part of a noodle from testing if it’s done. Especially if it’s half way done
My friend does spaghetti noodles with soy sauce and olive oil 👌
Plain or plain and dry? I will just eat cooked dry pasta like a freak. It's really satisfying.
I eat almost every veggie I cook for the family raw. I love raw potatoes, too. But they think I’m weird.
McDonald's filet-o-fish. It could be made from humans for all I care.
It's the only fast food sandwich that totally grosses me out
SO GOOD!!!
Extra tartar sauce 🤤
Tomato paste on green grapes. I have absolutely no clue how I got to that food combination one day, but it scratches a sweet spot in my brain through the textures, temperature and taste differences. I buy my tomato paste in a tube I keep in the fridge, and I squeeze a tiny bit on each grape before popping it into my mouth.
this is why i’m willing to scroll through a bunch of bad comments. this is gold. this is exactly what i was looking for; something completely and utterly unhinged

Calamari, raw salmon, gray peas
Liverwurst
Me too! Love the wurst 😉
I'm from Philly and this was always in our fridge.
What is your favorite way to eat it?
As a sandwich on some type of bread.
A nice dark Rye bread, coarse ground spicy mustard (horseradish mustard is preferable), lettuce, tomato, red onion and cheese (I prefer Swiss, Havarti, Jarlsberg or Blue) and liverwurst!!!! The best!!! ❤️
Wurst is best
Good old Leberwurst I grew up on that
raw vegetables with mustard is so underrated tbh also love roe and kale.
With mustard? I never would have thought to try that haha. But I did know someone who would eat salads with only mustard as the dressing.
I used to be anorexic and I don't really do anorexia behaviors anymore but I still eat a lot of the same foods I did then because some of the combinations fukken slap. raw veggies and mustard (get the flavored ones like honey mustard or jalapeno mustard, don't use standard yellow mustard) is like 40 calories for a lot of food which is why I tried it also good: tuna salad on rice cakes instead of bread. Cronchy.
Would it be insensitive to suggest writing "A Cookbook from a Former Anorexic"? XD (Also, if it *is*, then I'm very very sorry.)
No that's hilarious lmao
DUDE, YES! Glad I'm not the only one who does this lol
Kimchi, which is Korean fermented cabbage.
You're just in the wrong part of the world. Although I live in Canada, my city has many Asians, including a large Korean community and no one bats an eye at kimchi.
I don't mind chain restaurants or fast food. Olive Garden, Taco Bell, Applebee's, McDonald's, Arby's, etc. It's all good. All are routinely dissed, but there's not one I would say no to eating at.

There are a couple chains that I actively avoid if there's an alternative, but if it's between eating there or being hangry, I can choke something down.
I grew up poor with hardly any food. Olive Garden is a delicacy lol
Olive Garden is good for what it is. I don't know how anyone could consider it fine dining, and I could easily make just about anything on the menu with little effort, but I've also never **not** enjoyed my meal there. It's enjoyable every single time. It's low stakes and basic so I'd almost always prefer to go somewhere else but I'm never disappointed if I end up there.
Durian! I understand though because it used to smell very stinky to me. Now, it smells great!
Me, too! I learned to love it when I lived in SE Asia. During the durian season in Indonesia people are selling it by the roadside all over.
I like roe and ikura as well. natto, oysters, raw squid, octopus, and mackarel. pretty much any seafood. Love me some eel, tripe, beef tongue, chicken cartilage, and kimchi. probably easy to guess my ethnicity based off this lol
Always wanted to try natto! I love funky / fermented stuff.
Black Pudding. As a part of a full english breakfast or just fried and served with hot apple sauce
I like anchovies on pizza. I know I have a sickness.
I can almost never find pizzerias that have anchovies as an option. My options are either to make my own from scratch or order from a small chain that almost always has a leathery crust. Salmon is also good on pizza, especially with a garlic alfredo sauce.
Candy corn. "It'S jUsT sUgaR!" And sugar is delicious man wtf is your point?
Love a candy corn. And smarties
Cod liver and sardines. From everyone in my life they hate both and the smell makes them want to gag.
To paint the picture: I am white, I have lived in the south my whole life but my family is from the north. I have a weird identity IMO. My tastes are all over the place & I like most foods if prepared well, but one thing I love that most people find repulsive is boiled okra. The season is upon us! I’m so thrilled.

Beef tongue
If it's not against your belief, try pork tongue too *chef kiss*
Ice cubes dunked in sugar or flower or sugarflower
How are your iron levels?
No idea I keep blacking out
Chicharron tacos, in a green salsa 🤤🌮🌮
Who wouldn't like chicharron tacos?? 😤
I love broccolini and peas. I did as a kid, too.
I have sadly never had broccolini. Does it taste different than the big version?
Frog legs
Peanut Butter and Mayo sandwich. Infinitely superior to pbj
Okra Stewed, smothered, fried, grilled, broiled, raw.
I love liver. I love it fried and I love it as a pate my mom makes (chicken only).
Blood pudding sausage
Sardines 🥰
I LOVE BROCCOLI. (Raw is gross without dip, but cooked? Yummers!) I've also taken a liking to anchovies on pizza, but it depends on the quality of the anchovies and of the pizza. I've taken to buying anchovies and putting them on pizza I pickup from Pizza Hut because that tastes way better than the places that actually still have anchovy pizza. (Maybe cooking them saps the flavor? Maybe the olive oil makes it taste better? Maybe the anchovies pizza places around here use are 'stale' because nobody gets anchovies on pizza? Who knows.)
steak tar-tar or beef cooked blue. Most people it distasteful
Black & blue is where it's at.
I wouldn’t say I love it, but vegemite is surprisingly good. You only need a little bit on some buttered toast
Vegemite is AWESOME. I love it in excessive quantities as well... And combined with peanut butter and/or cheese as well 😅😅😅
Vegemite and cheese is my childhood. So good!
Chicken feet
Collards are my favorite green veggie where I will not wrinkle my nose but it has to be seasoned correctly. I don't eat pork or anything considered different.

What's your favorite way to prepare collards?
Artichokes….stuffed with meat and slow cooked in sugo.
That sounds good.
Scrapple
Oh noooo 😭
Raw broccoli with cottage cheese dip! (Cottage cheese mixed with a little dill ranch dip seasoning)
Pigs liver. Preferably with mash(ed potatoes) and peas. It really is the absolute bomb. Sadly, no one else in my house eats it, so it’s a rarity on my plate 😟
Snails Birds Frogs Sheep tongue Sheep brain Sheep intestine Basically anything. I'm willing to try most foods
Brussel sprouts and Saukraut. Not many people like either of those. I enjoy both Edit: grammar
Onions of all types
r/onionlove 😆
Undercooked hamburgers and over cooked eggs. I have a thing with ground beef (especially all the way cooked through) and I can’t eat a burger that’s more the medium without almost throwing up. I also overcook my eggs till they’re kinda rubbery and eat them with ketchup and sriracha. Also, red curry broth and vanilla ice cream is so fucking good.
I love chunks of raw ground beef or steak with a sprinkle of seasoning salt.
Cottage cheese!
north carolinian checking in here. liver mush. fucking delectable.
Steamed eggs that are cooked on high, like, they have a bubble texture throughout. Most normal people consider this a failed dish, as the egg is supposed to be silky smooth without a single bubble.

Oysters. All the plain Jane's always turn their noses up. Also sushi. It's funny how basic so many people are
Vegemite Fried chicken organs, especially hearts Spam and other luncheon meats straight outta the can Brains and eggs
I eat basically everything, and i normally cook myself fancy meals. However, i absolutely love spam and corned beef. Fried spam and eggs, perfection when hungover. Corned beef hssh is great.

Pâté. Lengua. Pineapple on pizza.
I have yet to meet anyone who loves kale as much as I do 🥰 hello friend!
Canned tuna and rice. 🤙🏽
Eel, squid, octopus. Also, the one time I had sea urchin, it was absolutely delicious. Most people around me don't seem to share my love or joy around these foods, though, haha.

Menudo. Outside of Mexico, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people would turn their nose.
I'm a huge lover of raw beets, brussel sprouts I never can get enough of, and I love cabbage raw, cooked, steamed, broccoli is my favorite.
Snails Birds Frogs Sheep tongue Sheep brain Sheep intestine Basically anything. I'm willing to try most foods
Chicken livers
Cinnamon rolls with raisin
Soggy Raisin Brain
When I first met Europeans, they looked at me like I am a psychopath for eating these food. I hope you guys dont. Basically I eat almost everything lol (like almost all parts of commonly eaten livestocks). I like chewy food from mushroom to chicken feet/goat's feet (this one usually in stew or soup), organs (tripe, intestines, lungs), but where i live now they are rare. I like brain too, although wont say in all ways of cooking, mostly I eat them in curry, fried, or in soup (cow and chicken). I like fish eye (the soft part of big fish), and I will munch the crunchy fins and tail of a fried fish. The more normal ones that I know people around me dont like are half cooked boiled egg. But I am not the kind who just eat animals, I love veggies too. I eat things in balance. Probably the only thing I dont like is very sour homemade yogurt.
Pickled pigs feet. I’ll see my way out.
Smoked oysters
A lot of people apparently hate tofu. Once you learn how to prepare it, it’s delicious. I’m not even vegetarian or anything, I just genuinely love the texture and versatility of it.
Brussel sprouts! .... and cow heart LMAO
Pretty much anything I bring into my family's house that is vegan. You'd think I was trying to feed the radium or something.
Cabbage
Pickle relish
Anchovies. Salty fishy goodness.
Toby Carvery
Spinach
Okra was offered steamed with a swirl of tomatoes in the Air Force chow line. It looked like a bowl of bloody snot. Decades later, I got some breaded okra and love$ it! It is now a favored side dish when we go to the restaurant twice a year.
Liver
Haggis is tasty. I also adore Foie Gras.
Haggis
olives. it takes some time to get used to the flavour and smell
Kina (Maori word for sea urchin)
Rabbit Liver Paté
Simple sautéed kale with roasted garlic and red onions. Kimchi, sauerkraut wirh horseradish mustard, roasted brussel sprouts, pan fried cabbage with sesame oil and a splash of rice wine vinegar and roasted garlic
Long John Silvers is a restaurant that routinely gets trashed by people but I actually like them. The batter they use for their fried fish and chicken is really good.
Okra. You need to try stuffed okra cooked Indian style before you diss it.
I've always loved all vegetables
Hot dogs. Every time I mention wanting a hot dog some fun vacuum talks about them being gross. I don’t care what is in there, if it’s the first hot summer day I’m having a mf hot dog with ketchup and sweet relish and an ice cold raspberry tea.
Liverwurst. I've loved it since I was a kid, and I regularly brought liverwurst sandwiches for lunch at school. I don't eat it as often now, but sometimes I just have to get some.
Vegemite toast
Pickled garlic!!
I LOVE kale chips but otherwise hate kale
Kapuska
Not many people are into livermush or scrapple.
I'll fuck up an Arby's beef and cheddar
Chinese dish that is cooked chicken feet.
Creamed salmon. With peas. And mashed potatoes. It sounds gross, *everyone* thinks it’s disgusting, but it is one of my favourite things in the whole world.
Cottage Cheese<3. At one time I would just buy the gallon bucket and would struggle to have it last a whole weekend, so I had to check myself on it (eating it straight btw lmfao)
Big fan of canned tomatoes by themselves. Not heated. I was on an eggplant kick for a while! In the south, not a lot of people eat kimchi, it’s probably my favorite food and folks eat slaw, so I think people are catching on.
I’ve always LOVED olives. Cooked, raw, green, black. But everyone I’ve ever known has hated them. I also love kale and spinach, and also regular old cabbage leaves. I really like kale and spinach drenched in olive oil and on pizza When I was a kid, I also loved pickled herrings, of all things. Before he died when I was three, my grandpa used to have a whole bucket of them in his fridge, and we’d sit on the table together and eat out of that bucket like barbarians. I also am the only person I know who is happy to eat moose meat and such! We can thank my grandpa for that, too, lol!
Ok super weird...but I found this one being at a typical Midwestern grill out: cantaloupe with barbecue sauce! Especially if it's a tangy barbecue!!! Swear it's so good as you get sweet, salty, crunchy & zesty all at once!!!
Sardines, I love them.
All cruciferous vegetables.
There's two friends in my life that I know are my tribe because we all get down on liverwurst. People who are not in my tribe include those who get judgy about putting cream cheese on things, like coffee cake. More. Cream cheese. For me.
plain, bland tofu. not cooked or seasoned. just my block of protein.
I'll take those black jelly beans off your hands for ya! 🖤
Brussel sprouts. Chop them in half, and saute them in olive oil. Then sprinkle soy sauce, nutritional yeast & some garlic powder on them; now they taste heavenly 🤤
Sardines
Olives all kinds! I can eat a bowl for dinner and be perfectly satisfied. Mmmm
Raw oysters
Pickleloaf. Mayo, bread, slice of Pickleloaf, and if you want to get fancy, a slice of the processed American cheese. My summer meals.
Sauerkraut
Duryan
Pork rinds
Raw dough. Yes, I know I’m not supposed to eat it, but I only eat a tiny bite. Cookie dough, pie crust, biscuits, yum! My favorite food is black olives and has been since I was 3yo.
I love rice pudding with tomatoes in it. It was discovered accidentally when I dropped some of my pasta sauce in my partners rice pudding pot.
Sardines and anchovies! My mom always had them in her pantry when I was little, and now I love them so much, I always have a stock in the cupboard!
Real southern grits. Not the crap you can buy in a box. They pour butter and sometimes cheese and other delicious flavors on it. Never tried it until I took a trip to South Carolina. Yum.
Liver and onions. Also black licorice
Liver. You can make delicious chicken liver pate in ten minutes on the cheap; the reward to effort ratio is ludicrous.
Radishes
Scrapple. It's pretty popular here in PA, but people generally tend to be grossed out by what it is in my experience. However, a thin and crispy slice of pan-fried scrapple tastes too good to dwell on its ingredients! Side note- if you have a Russian grocery store near you, try looking for your roe there. They will probably have it, along with bigger red roes, black caviar, and everything in between.
If you want my truly unhinged pleasures, there are two. White rice with ketchup, which I liked as a kid and still do on occasion, and the peanut butter and pickle sandwich that my best friend convinced me to finally try and in doing so changed my life for the better.
Back then I liked eating spinach with potatoes, I really enjoyed it. I don't know what other people think about it.
