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 )
