Picky Eater Test (from Budget101 on FB)

[catsraven]

There are at least 10 things I will not eat

 

[NannyPatty]

Lol, zoomzoom! I have eaten everything on the list except snails. I just never had the opportunity. I'll try any thing once. I'll add rattlesnake to the list,too.

The Asians have some rather nasty stuff they eat, fish sauce being one of them, but those foods were created out of necessity, so who knows when times get hard. I have eaten bugs, slugs and other creepy crawlers and it is all down to mental expectations over taste for those. I love organ meats, with the exception of trite and brains. I would need to find a way to disguise the textures of those before I could eat them.

I spent two weeks travelling in the less travelled parts of Szechuan province in China and lost more than a few pounds.
fermented yak milk a pass if it ever crosses your path; both, for safety and health reasons. Ask me how I know.

Szechuan food is actually one of my favorites out of the Chinese foods, love the spice! That chili oil wil blow right through you though, so its best not to make any plans the next day. Qingdao/Shanghainese food is another, seafood and dumplings! My wifes family is from that region and the food is actually easier to eat for westeners.
Canton food is where they eat all that strange things. Bugs and sea cucumbers....solidified rubbery fish snot.
And is the typical "Chinese"food in the West. And usually its all fried and buried in msg.
Vietnam and Thai is fish sauce land. Smell is bad but used as a condiment you cant really notice.
Now durians, love love love em! My wife makes me and my son eat them on the balcony or rooftop.

Yak milk, I have some Nepali staff that bring it in sometimes. Bit strange that stuff.

Durian is the one thing that will hide the smell of stinky fermented tofu. Gosh but the stench is something awful. The trick to eating it is to wait until your sense of smell deadens after hanging around long enough you can get near enough not to vomit. For those not in the know, Durian smells a lot like a skunk was run over and mixed in with a pail of fresh poopy diapers. I bought a little bottle of durian extract in Indonesia just for fun. Immigration in Canada opened it in the airport and there is another unhappy ending. I think the Calgary airport must have stunk for months after that.

 

[Justin76]

I love the stuff! Like a sweet oniony custard!
I think its like coriander some people can and some people can't.
I did put some in the fridge once overnight and my wife was hot mad the next day!

 

[Terri9630]

I have tried these. Some I may not want to eat again. How about you?

I don't need a test, I know I'm picky. My score is a 33.

I don't need a test, I know I'm picky. My score is a 33.

In the words of my oldest daughter; "I am not picky, I am particular and I am selective and I have high standards." ;D

 

[OBG 57]

Having been all over the world I've eaten lots of stuff most people only see at a zoo or aquarium but one thing I found I can't stand is Vegemite

Oh my, that's salty axle grease! I had friendship with a couple of Australian exchange students and they were really missing that stuff. Once they received a care package from home, they offered me a piece of toast with that on it. One bite, was too much.

 

[ssonb]

I would not call that picky!!!! Everyone has to have some standards and that seen to be one of the best places to start.

 

[Flight]

I scored a 7. Lol

 

[OBG 57]

One bite, was too much.

I never got past the smell

 

[Bacpacker]

My score is 3. Well really 2. I can'tstand to smell vinegar, but love pickles and such. But would not consider tofu or snails, short of starving that is. Most everything else on the list I'll at least eat, if not really like.

Snails are great, cover them with garlic and butter and it’s like eating rubbery eraser with garlic butter.

Agreed, or maybe some tire rubber in garlic butter.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

Okay I am the worst yet at 13.

Religious reasons I won't drink tea (unless herbal) or coffee, allergic to pineapple, shrimp and probably Nutella if it has cashews in it. Raw fish and Tofu I draw the line at and I used to be vegetarian.

 

[timmie]

3 will not eat raw fish,snails, or tofu. the rest of it is a go.

 

[Cascadian]

I read somewhere the Cilantro thing is genetic and effects around 8% of the population.

That's real stuff? I thought it was a made up word for a song.

 

[phideaux]

I have eaten every item on that list at one time or another.

There are some I like some I can pass on,

Now on Keto...lots that I pass on.

I'll try about anything ,edible, at least once, I guess that makes me not picky.

I'd eat the seal oil again if I needed the calories, or to be polite, but the pickled moose nose is a non-starter. I think some of us over cook our snails, they are like liver in that they get tough when overdone.

 

[OBG 57]

That's real stuff?

Yup I brought a jar home one time to try out on my friends not a one of them would eat it

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@OBG 57 vegemite is an acquired Aussie taste cause we are tougher also the company is now back in Aussie hands again . The secret is to just put on a tiny scrape on your toast and it tastes really good with accompanied with avocado in a avocado and vegemite sandwich and also in gravy when you make it too.

My great grandmother had two sayings when it came to food.
1. Anything that don't kill you will make you fat.

2. You eat to get full.

I never had a problem eating her cooking because it tasted so good! I could and would eat everything on the list. Snails would be the last thing.
