all perfectly normal food. mushrooms, chicken, roasted duck etc. having it all smothered in that sauce isn't my thing but it's all edible and probably delicious

:laugh::laugh:

Looks good to me :) Sometimes being Asian, I forget certain things are not appetizing for your typical American. Oh, well, their loss... more poon for me.. hehehe
Didn't say I wouldn't eat it - the captions in the pic were pretty funny though. Except for the baby turtles, I would probably eat it if it wasn't still moving.

Where did the word poon come from? I keep thinking of something else that you also eat but don't actually swallow...

Some close-minded mofos on here for sure. I would punch myself in the face if I kept the attitude of not trying food that didn't look good to me from childhood. I would have missed out on sushi, shrimp in general, kiwi, and many others. So glad I got over that...

It was more the fact it is swimming in a *pool* of oil that was the turn off :p

Post a thread about growing your hair out a bit here or anything remotely "metrosexual" and 1/4 of the responses are 'hand in your man card'. Yet post a pic of any dish they aren't intimately familiar with and they run off with their dicks between their legs. May not exactly be my thing OP but much if not most of it looks good eating! When it comes to Chinese food (I'm 1/2 Chinese) I'm more for Szechuan style food personally. I don't shy away from any food really and I'll try just about ANYTHING to see if I like it!

A camera flash will do bad things to just about the best of dishes. Could turn the best food in the world into the blandest looking pile of mush. I HATE using the flash when taking pictures!

It might be that. I've eaten everything in that dish separately before, but that floating pile of oil was not very appetizing looking to me :p

Me too, that is why I have a tripod and use my timer. I miss my film camera with it's remote trigger and manual aperture settings. :(

As for weird food, I eat quite a bit of menudo. After that, I was told I was gross and that is was made from cow stomach. I asked what their point was, at it still tastes just as good as before I knew it was made from tripe. Some people have some really strange hang-ups over food, IMO.
