Food you hated.....before you tried them

Circle of life?

That's a pretty small circle for the goose.

I tried and failed to make a Genesis/Disney reference. I can't dance, I can't post...

Well I can't be perfect all of the time. Sometimes I have to go back and make sure my perfection is absolute.

If you could see how many times I edited the first line to 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' you'd laugh...kept thinking about it--"No, that's not right, either!!" Ugh.

Ah I see, a non sequiter. I'm not hip to the Disney/Collins trivia.

Keep in mind that many French dishes are peasant throw away leftovers that have been tasted up with sauces and other tricks. Why anyone would eat anything that filters blood and makes bile is beyond me. It is a freaking organ. Yucko.

Basically all seafood.

Now I love it (most of it).

There are cultures on this planet that worship certain organs

Same with italian, chinese, and most other foods. The poor always make diamonds from lumps of coal. Some of my favorite foods are the bad cuts of meat that require the most care to make them delicious. Braising tough meats. Sauteing weird organs (though I cant do kidneys. Kidney are NASTY and taste like youd expect them to, based on their function. Blech.) I LOVE foie grois, I love sweetbreads. I like chicken livers be they in a pate or sauteed or turned into yummy dumpling like meatballs. And thats all new to me. three years ago I wouldnt have touched the stuff.

I have a few jars of spicy pickled Asparagus at home and they are my favorite snack of all time.

Warning though, if you think regular Asparagus makes your pee stink wait till you've downed 20 pickled ones.

If they're spicy--I'm not touching them!!

You can get the non-spicy kind at any Costco.

I'm just a spicy food kind of guy.

Growing up we had canned asparagus. I grew to like them. Non-canned are much better though. Duh.

If you eat the fresh ones, they make it blue besides a bit strong of odor. That is weird.

Your a cook. You ever make your own pickles? Ive been really into it lately. made some pickled ramps the otehr day and they were tasty but I went a little nutso on the aromats.Pickles are good. I hated pickles until about 6 months ago.

The only thing I've ever pickled myself is Octopus. And it was awesome. I went a little overboard on the aromatics as well, but it was still tasty. The four jars I made only lasted one football sunday.

I've always wanted to make my own pickles, stuffed olives, etc. I need to just do it. I'm planting my garden this weekend now that the frost is over with here and I might just plant some cucumbers for the express purpose of making my own pickles.

Thanks for the idea.

[DeAnna]

I still don't like blood sausage and tripe (which is like eating a piece of towel).
