Longneck, I'm sure you're not alone. Many people don't like or are allergic to seafood, and liver is well.. self explanatory. I think it's totally understandable why you wouldn't like that. Same with the ricotta. It is heavy and rich and you either like it or not. Me, I love it. Don't know if it's because I was brought up having on-hand for the most part or not. As far as the canoli goes, I make those usually during the Christmas holiday season. I have two sons-in-laws and neither like the ricotta. So.....I americanized a little for them and simply filled the shell with pudding (vanilla, banana, chocolate, or whatever). Granted, not quite the same, but they loved it and I am glad that I could please them and they didn't feel left out. As for the lasagna I simply put the provolone and mozzarella in for them. TIS

I'll try anything, within reason, once...The exception, of course, would be Fear Factor-Anthony Bourdain stuff, like bugs, worms and the still beating heart of a snake. Agreed. But, Bourdain has nothing on Andrew Zimmern and his show Bizarre Foods (it ain't called that for nothin') on The Travel Channel. But, for me, the one food that will always come to mind as something I absolutely can't stand - and just like Plaw, even the smell of it is sickening to me - is, now and forever: LIVER. Doesn't matter what animal it comes from. Doesn't matter how it's prepared. Doesn't matter if the fate of the free world rests on my scarfing down a plate of the stuff. Liver is my enemy. Signor V.

I knew this blind guy who once walked in front of a fish market. He said, "Hello, ladies". But it'll taste like chicken. Is that why it smelled fowl?

Bastardo! A little over a year ago, when I had My Dinner With Plawrence at Adelman's Deli, he just stared in amazement at the three frankfurters and huge white meat turkey on rye (with several helpings from their salad bar) I ordered. He couldn't believe it when I said afterwards that I forgot to order their chicken soup with matzoh balls! But, no liver. Ever. See if you remember this - I can still recall it after forty years, word for word, from MAD magazine: ************************* (Sung to the tune of "Moon River") Chopped liver...onions on the side My social life has dried...from you. My friends shun me...they outrun me The smell of your breath is slow death, sad but true. Your odor's...twice as bad as beer And people who drink beer agree. I know that your smell will not end Always I'll offend My halitosis friend Chopped liver...and me! ************************* Signor V.

Mayonnaise is repulsive. Absolutely repulsive. I refuse to even touch the jar. What?? Fries w/ mayo is better than ketchup! (Guess I should mention that in the other thread )

Can't say "YUK!!" without trying it first... I used to get a giggle out my friends by popping (chewing on) coffee creamers in my mouth -- or better, squeezing a tube of mayo (or mustard) in my mouth

I have a sort of love-hate relationship with eggs.
I will eat them when they are cooked into or added to certain dishes. In fact, often times I actually like them. I use them in pasta carbonara, an amazingly incredible Italian cold tuna sauce (I may post that recipe), pasta dough, some types of salads (using sliced hard-boiled eggs), fried rice, and general baking (if and when required).
However, I can't stand eggs that are scrambled (that includes omelettes, but strangely enough, not fried rice), poached, soft boiled, over easy (or pan-fried in general), raw (as a hangover remedy) or thrown at me in any way.
Don't care for egg salad or scrambled egg whites, either.

As a kid, my grandmother, who is now 93 and has been smoking like a fiend since she was in her early 20s, used to make liver dumplings saturated in butter and sprinkled with salt. Don't tell her now but all that stuff will shorten her life. 93!! God bless her!

I don't like pickles (or relish)on my burger, but don't mind them on the side. Hamburger toppings! Now THAT'S a topic for discussion! Gimme a thin slice of Bermuda onion OR an onion ring and I'll be happy.

Definintely a large onion on the burger! My ideal burger is simply cheese (swiss or provolone but I like most any cheese), a little bit of catsup, not too soggy though, and mushrooms would top it off for me. On the side a salad with bleu cheese dressing and a cup of coffee. TIS

Don't listen to them TIS. This east coaster likes a good Mushroom/Swiss burger every once in a while. Why is it we eat a part of an animal on a bun and then try to rationalize we hafta make it "healthy" by adding all sorts of things from the garden (tomato, lettuce, onion, mushroom. etc.)? Hello? Is this Spumoni Gardens? Yes....Can I get a delivery please?...Ok.....I'd like a large Sicilian pie and a bottle of diet pepsi.

I've never liked cranberry sauce either. Every Thanksgiving, cans of the stuff would go flying off the shelves, and usually straight onto the dinner tables of all my relatives.
Whether the "regular" type, or the jellied version, I just couldn't stand the taste of it.
Then, around 2004, Signora V. said we should try to make it from scratch. So, I bought fresh cranberries, she found a recipe she liked, and we started cooking.
Well, I thought it was even worse than the stuff from a can. I think it made me look something like Sylvester the cat after Elmer Fudd put alum in his milk. Way too tart (among other things) for me. She said that this was the way it should taste, and she was quite happy. So, I guess it wasn't a total loss.
For the record, I also strongly dislike the taste of cranberry juice. I do know, however, that the juice has medicinal benefits.

I never liked cranberry juice either. When I was first married that was my husband's constant drink. I could live without cranberries on Thanksgiving, but usually still have it because it's traditional, and my family only eats very little of it. I do make this great jello though with both strawberries and cranberries in it and everyone seems to like that. But juice alone, or even the berry itself...nope!!!As a matter of fact the only juices I really like are orange and tomato. TIS

Cranberry juice has been acknowledged by doctors to have beneficial effects for people who suffer from chronic (or recurring) bladder inflammation.
Around 25 years ago, my ex-girlfriend had these problems and was always drinking cranberry juice. I'm not sure if this is something that affects women primarily, but the juice definitely helps.

Cranberry juice is supposed to be helpful for many things, but the problem is those Ocean Spray "cocktails" are only 10% juice.... you're better off taking a supplement...

You know what I can't stand? When I go to the supermarket to do my food shopping, and there are fat people using those motorized shopping carts out of laziness. It makes me crazy. They're honking at me, blocking me from getting what I need, then I see them out in the parking lot and they're moving around better than I do. I know it's the food thread, but it's almost related. Fat bastards.
