L'escargot - not because of what they are but a pointless exercise, smothered in garlic & swallowed so what is the point, bit like Oysters

Kidney & Liver for me, the smell is enough but the texture must be close to what eating poo would be like

I find butter revolting, might be allergic to it. Much prefer dripping or lard in its place.
Judging by what's in other people's supermarket trolleys you all eat tons of it or posh marge. Yuck! |

Most booze is either an acquired taste (eg bitter -- the clue is in the name) or must be diluted (whisky, vodka) or disguised completely with mixers.

"If you don't like liver, learn to like it - you need it." - Len Deighton's Action Cookbook.
Soak it in milk beforehand to mellow the taste, then cut it into narrow strips, so it needs as little cooking time as possible and remains tender. Season with a little ground pepper. Two or at most 3 mins per side in a properly hot pan. Duck liver is wonderful. Pig liver is cheap for a reason. |

Most people overcook liver!
The method is to cook on one side "till the blood rises", then flip it for an equal time. |

Not exactly something you eat, but have never understood the whole world's obsession with drinking coffee - surely the vilest substance known to man. |

Personally I love liver - I can't stand sweet peas, cooked carrots, mushrooms, sweetcorn and parsnips. Also something most people do not eat that I love too is black pudding.

Jellied eels....revolting cockney peasant food!
Tripe.....show me a palatable way to cook this and I'll try it again, after the shocking experience when I was only ten years old! Probably as a "Vindaloo"! Pickled Onions.....always disliked them, but a while ago I thought I would try them again, as I guess my palette is now more broad minded. Horrible things! Salad Cream.....was made violently sick after having this at junior school. Again might try it sometime, but then might not! It doesn't fit in with anything I would ever make for my guests. |

I agree that Celery is horrendous in it's raw state, with the "strings" that run down it, but the taste when added to such as "Jambalaya" is excellent . The trick is to just use "Celery Salt", or "Celery Hearts", which are also a fantastic starter, cooked with Garlic Butter, and finished under the grill with Parmesan Cheese. |

Not good for Cholesterol as I understand. It used to be dirt cheap but, in just a couple of years, is double the price! |
|
By:
My understanding is that it's not the cholesterol itself which is the problem, but rather the stuff in the processed junk we eat alongside it and how it reacts with the cholesterol. Transfats and hydrogenated vegetable oils in stuff like margarine and sweeties oxidize the chemical on the surface of low-density lipids in your cholesterol, and hence cause the problems associated with it.

Few fussy eaters here
 Liver is an excellent source of dietary iron & Vitamin B12. calfs liver is wonderful, serve slightly pink...light flavour , very tender... highly recomend as posted...lambs liver soaked in milk / salt draws the blood out and lessens the gamey flavour.Dipped in seasoned flour and pan fried served with grilled bacon and crispy homemade onion rings or braised with onions , topped with button onions & bacon lardons. creamy mash and runner beans...whats not to like ! Duck & chicken livers ...flash fry,few shallots, maderia / tickle of mustard,parsley, little cream,s&p served on toasted granary...... sprinkle cayenne pepper nice starter or light snack Tripe and braised hearts ...not for me seaweed fresh or dry...jury is out |

Agree with all of APs post. All vile.
My fav food is Mussels, especially since I stopped eating meat. |
|
By:
Have you never tried sushi Tictacman? Nori (dried seaweed) is used a lot in that. Dulse is a delicacy over here in NI which is basically dried seaweed. Plenty of iron and vitamens in seaweed, I love the stuff.
Haven't had tripe in years but I remember disliking it also. Think it was boiled in milk. I tried jellied eels once and wasn't keen but I wouldn't mind trying it again. |

Mussels in white wine and cream, with parsley, and sauce thickened with corn flour, and with lots of crusty bread,
is so good that you could skip the main course, and just go straight to the cheese course (well I could)! |

Sauerkraut....had this just once, half a lifetime ago.
My God, was it rank! If that was how it was supposed to be I'm shocked. It was so bad it just had to be off, but it was in an airtight jar, so I don't know! |

Beetroot. Like eating dirt.

By:
You seem to be a picky eater AP.
I like pickled onion, ok with saurkraut, regularly buy salad cream and put it on sandwiches. It goes on anything. Hey and don't knock beetroot. I've a packet of vacuum sealed beetroot waiting to be opened, I love it. |

Beetroot is a superfood, some athletes drink beetroot juice before competing.

Regarding vodka…… any experts on here….. I was once told it's perfectly possible to keep a bottle of the stuff in a FREEZER, and it won't freeze up, nor will the bottle get damaged.
Anyone know for sure ??? |
|
By:
I've heard that too ... but it's made with old socks - or is that gin?
Anyway, have a go overnight and tell us tomorrow if it worked. HTH |
|
By:
alun yes that's true. It becomes quite viscous and tastes less alcoholic.
|
|
By:
Cheers lads, I'll drink a glass of frozen vodka-flavoured ice to you...

By:
Alun
if you do put it in freezer overnight, then be very careful when you take it out tomorrow. HHS seems to know and apparently it can be dangerous when frozen ... it goes quite vicious!! |
