Thread: What food makes you gag?.

I was in Mozambique last week and was offered and tasted Zebras penis in some kind of soup , the Zebras penis is about 2 foot long ,, I had about 1" in my soup , which was about 1" too much

A delicacy out there, it's called poached cock

I have eaten this fish, it was ok but I couldn't be within 50yds or down wind when they open the tin. It's tastes like an oily anchovy... If you know what I mean ....

^ butters had borrowed it .

The smell of Durian makes one a bit nauseous...reminiscent of the time my kids unplugged a freezer full of chicken for an upcoming school event. Durian tastes okay in cake though.
Seems some of my favourite foods make some gag..probably as a war baby you ate what was put in front of you or starved...555
I think tastes change..remember actually throwing up after eating garlic...now love it..
Never tried the bugs and worms in the market..guess if I was hungry enough?

In Saigon, I had snake heart and blood mixed with rough spirits in a glass. That took some effort to get down, then quite easily came back up 2 seconds later.
Quite scary seeing yourself vomit up blood.
Other than the rotten fish, I love everything people have mentioned here. Love tongue, liver, pork trotters, blue cheese, brussel sprouts.....and I'm actually quite sensitive to taste: Not quite a super-taster, but I can detect nuances of flavour better than most.

I couldn't watch Taxexile's video. I'm a sympathetic vomiter and as soon as he started, I nearly puked.

Durian - just the smell would knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.

Brussels sprout.

Truly the Satan's testicles of the vegetable world.

Try Durian chips. You don't get the smell but you get the taste.
Me, I love Durian. The softer the better.

I love fresh and cooked tomatoes but I can not abide the smell of tomato ketchup.
Also not the biggest fan of tripe and onions.


Most food however is edible given enough hot sauce and/or alcohol.

I'm the exact opposite of the above, I can eat anything tomatoe flavoured, but can't eat raw tomatoe, just recently managed to stand small slices in a sandwich, but in younger years this would have been impossible. Can't understand it really as I can eat almost anything.

Eating scorpions, I can't quite wrap my mind around that. Creepy crawly poisonous mofos.

I'll give a whirl someday.... i reckon.

Where I live i see quite a few of the big black mofos.

Brussel Sprouts, the very spawn of Beelzebub.

They should be eradicated like Smallpox.

Did you have nasty older siblings that told you the seeds would grow in your tummy and the plants would come up your throat?!!

Mine are the usual - liver, kidneys, brussels.

Quite nice, Earl - depending on the scorpion, have a lovely earthy non-offensive way about them. The smaller red ones should be savoured.

Marzipan, liver/pate, marzipan, squid, marzipan, marmite, marzipan, roasted parsnips, brown sauce, marzipan, that foul smelling fish sauce that teelack cooks with, black pudding.

Oh yeah almost forgot, marzipan.

I used to hate them, but in the interest of not being a hypocrite in my efforts to broaden my kid's tastes, I cooked them up and doused them in cheese sauce. Since then, I've realised they have a taste, albeit acquired, that is akin to ....fcuk knows, but it's something that is actually quite...not moorish, but definitely something to savour.

I used to hate parsnips too....but after a while, I acquired a taste for them, especially roasted.
Actually, to be fair....only roasted.

Me too I used to hate them, but now I rather like them.

Liver, durian, sprouts plus all the stuff above hate are great. Tofu in any shape or form is enough to gag a maggot.

Pretty much any offal. Liver, kidneys, tripe, heart.

Sadly, my dad used to love them all, so they were on the table occasionally. Puked all over my stuffed heart one time at the dinner table. That never made another appearance on my plate!

Sprouts are getting a hard time here. Quite like them myself.

Parsnip and potato mash is heaven on the tastyfoodometer....

...sprouts thrown in a blender with cream and nutmeg turn them into something eatable without giving you wind

Pla-ra ... I pull out the crawling maggots and use them as fishbait...

Jeez...
You don't really bath your lovely sprouts in a cheese sauce, do ya?

oh dear.
