Food confessions: what's the grossest thing you love?

[Gibsons]

chicken gizzards. grew up eating them and still enjoy them.

I like gizzards too. Crazy texture...

something I won't eat:

 

[Gibsons]

It is probably at least cooked for pasteurization? Mixing powder with milk is an abomination, one I nom nom. :wub:

I'm not sure if it's really 'food' so maybe it doesn't need pasteurization.

 

[nageov3t]

I don't understand what that is.

The Horseshoe is an open-faced sandwich originating from Springfield, Illinois.[1] It consists of thick-sliced toasted bread, most often Texas toast,[2] a hamburger patty, French fries, and a "secret" cheese sauce. Common replacements for the hamburger patty include ham, deep fried pork tenderloin, grilled or fried chicken breast, and fried fish fillets.

Though cheese sauces vary by chef, it is generally derived from Welsh rarebit. Common ingredients include eggs, beer, butter, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.

there's a sandwich shop by me that loads fries into their philly cheesesteaks and covers it all with cheese. I'm not a fan.

if I'm going to eat fries at all (and I'm generally not a big french fry person), they really need to be fried to a crisp and salty as hell, not soggy.

You guys should see the movie Tampopo.

I grew up on and still love Mexican chorizo and eggs. Just about my favorite breakfast.

Liverwurst is one of my all item favourite things. Grew up on that shit and still cannot get enough of it, however most people I know find it disgusting.

I just had 2 liverwurst on rye with guldens for lunch. Ive been eating this stuff for over 45 years. Sometimes I just eat it as is.

Funny thing is I hate pate, liver foie gras.

Most people would probably say Scrapple but I don't think it's gross and eat it in public with no problem. Poutine gets odd looks but is yummy when made well. Which probably leaves this:

Scrapple as well and I don't think it's gross either probably because I have been eating it my entire life. I also love oyster sandwiches like you get at fireman's carnivals on the Eastern Shore.

Spam on a bagel.

Fried eggs, runny yolk on toast.

Eating raw garlic.

I like almost all my food at room temperature.

 

[Fritzo]

Unagi. Raw eel

I've tried that. Can't handle the texture.

You know why it's called eel? The first people that ate it went "EEEEEEELLLLLL! THAT'S GROSS!"

Spam on a bagel.

Fried eggs, runny yolk on toast.

Eating raw garlic.

Everyone forgives you for everything but that last one.

I make that every weekend! My wife is Mexican and I learned to make it from her mom. We have our favorite brand and everything

It's not really that gross---it's pretty damned tasty actually.

im addicted to fried tofu. the asian restaurants cover it with cornstarch, fry it, and then serve it with peppers and onions over jasmine rice. tofu isnt gross tho

[DAPUNISHER]

No holding out, you started this, what brand?

 

[NutBucket]

Man, you all must have low standards for gross foods. I guess it's all about perspective.

Yeah I'd go mustard instead of mayo on that one.

Weird. I love pretty much all liver-related things.

Ive had it with mustard . i like it... but i think mayo is better red onion and lettuce too

* edit to add: bakery jewish style rye with caraway seeds preferred over supermarket mass produced rye bread

Brussels sprouts

brussel sprouts done right are fantastic. done wrong they are an abomination.

thats a new trend, they use fries as a filler cuz theyre cheap. a lot of fast food joint like mcd and burger king started putting french fries and doritos on their burgers in the last year because things like beef, bacon and milk/cheese have gone up in price

Indeed. I've been seeing them show up on more menus recently, which is great, because I love them.
