Grossest thing you ever ate...

Cilantro... and I'm not the only one.... there is even a web site for cilantro haters http://www.ihatecilantro.com/

The very first time I was exposed to it was probably in the late 70's. A co-worker of my husbands asked us over for dinner. They were east indian and his wife made an authentic east indian dinner. My very first mouthful I literally wanted to vomit. I could barely managed to swallow, but after washing it down with water, asked what that was that was different tasting in the dish and she called it Indian parsley. I have had to turn meals back at restaurants if there is even the slightest hint of cilantro in there. In the last few years I've been able to tolerate a hint of it without rejecting the dish, but only a very slight hint. It is the most putrid stuff..and I'm not a fussy eater, can pretty much eat anything..caviar, tongue, liver, kidneys, raw fish.. whatever.

I love brussel sprouts.

Hmmm... *ponders* mashed potatoes. ERGHHHHHHHHH. Lol.

I can't thin of anything incredibly gross. Ohhh wait... I made a chicken and mushroom pot noodle but poured soy sauce from the bottle in instead of the sachet only I put too much in and nowI can't eat chicken and mushroom potnoodles or soy sauce. I do like Book of Mormon bay bad boy potnoodles *drools* lol just kidding about the drooling lol.

"marg" Cilantro... and I'm not the only one.... there is even a web site for cilantro haters http://www.ihatecilantro.com/

I have friends who would love this website.

I actually love cilantro now, but not so much as a kid. My parents used to take us to all the authentic hole in the wall Mexican restaurants and my siblings and I would cry and beg them for Taco Bell instead. I guess all the exposures to it finally payed off.

For some reason during my pregnanices I would crave Cilantro and Pepperchinis. I put them on all my sandwhiches and salads. As an adult, I love authentic Mexican food and the more Cilantro in my pico de gallo, the better. Another favorite dish is a Thai shrimp roll that has Cilantro in it.

I was wrong about the grossest thing I have eaten..

I had a really sweet VT from church who would frequently bring by desserts and treats each month.
It was during my inactivity (after learning church history) so the Relief Society was really love bombing me that year.
Unfortunately she wasn't a great cook. I feel so bad to even write this because I love her and really appreciated all she did. But we would bite into these fabulous looking treats and spit them right out. It became kind of a joke in our home to see who was brave enough to try it first. And I felt horrible to throw the food in the garbage but it was that bad. I mean, how can you mess up brownies and chocolate chip cookies????

After I had my baby, she brought over what we thought was a Shepherds pie. It was awful. The ground beef tasted like it had been in the freezer for a few years and it was the nastiest flavor. I'll probably delete this because I feel really guilty for even thinking it.

(and I promise she wasn't trying to poison the apostate...
her Ward potluck meals were just as bad)

Awww you seem real sweet. I personally don't have a problem with Church history, but Jonass does. LMAO... Just kidding.

I will ask you a question in a new thread.

What is the big deal about mayo around here? I love mayo but try to limit it. When I eat out and order fries, I dip my fries in mayo, a habit I picked up in Germany.

Totally disgusting. Totally love it!

[_harmony]

The habit I picked up concerning fries is putting brown gravy on them, "chips and gravy" from a trip I took to Canada as a teenager. Good stuff.

I tried caviar this weekend. It was okay, but I don't know what all the fuss is about. I didn't try the drunk duck. I prefer to avoid black meat.

Grossest thing I ever ate: a stink bug my brother put in my corn flakes when I was four. I thought it was a burnt cornflake. It scarred me for life.

I routinely eat many of the unapproved foods on this list: mayo and Miracle Whip, oatmeal, eggs (shoots right out of a chicken's butt!), milk (you do realize it's been on the inside of a cow and you're going to drink that, right?), organ meats (not kidneys, though. I've had heart, liver (regularly... DH is a big fan), tongue (ground up with pickles and mayo, it makes a good sandwich spread), and sweet breads/brains. Given my druthers, I avoid liver and brains. I've had brussell sprouts but I'm not a big fan. Once you feed something and then butcher it, all the mystery is taken out of the food.

For all you brussel sprout haters. Here is what you do...

Steam or boil your brussle sprouts.

Cut them to pieces, lob on tons of margarine or butter and the secret ingredient: Parmesean Cheese.

I'm so not kidding. I found this out by accident one day.

Another disgusting combo from the kitchen of Jersey Girl.

Mayonnaise is disgusting, but probably the grossest thing I've ever eaten was acorn pancake batter I made as a young girl. I think I was about ten years old.

I had just read My Side of the Mountain and was motivated to live off the land. I tried eating dandelions raw. They were gross, but nothing compared to the face-distorting bitterness of the acorn pancake batter I made from ground acorns, mashed dandelion stems and creek water. I didn't even attempt cooking the pancakes, as I knew from one taste of the batter that my experiment was a total failure.

You just didn't pour on enough maple syrup.
