Sweetbreads. Does everyone know what they are? I loved the taste until
someone told me.

I have heard of what they are, and no, I never have tried them and
probably will not. Tripe is something else that I would not eat on a
bet.

I'll eat that if it's served with grilled Bratwurst.
I married Luann because both of us hate mushrooms. It's hereditary,
because Aaron hates 'em too.

Sweetbreads is either calf brains or pancreas. Xochimilco makes a wonderful
menudo, which is tripe soup.
You'd never know you were eating something disgusting:)

I, too, have eaten tripe. It sounds bad, but tastes good. As for sauer-
kraut, all I can say is that if there were no sauerkraut, life would
not be worth living.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned okra.

I like Reuben sandwiches, a lot, and to eliminate sauerkraut would
be a sin against mankind.
sauerkraut by itself, well now that is another matter entirely.
how abour wax beans? I haven't met anyone who likes them

Oh, no, don't dump on okra. What would become of gumbo? I mean you
could make the deep rich roux, mortgage your firstborn for a pound of
fresh jumbo shrimp, and prepare it while listening to authentic zydeco,
but without okra you're plain fakin' it.
I get suspicious of foods that don't change flavor when they go bad.
Sauerkraut actually gets better. I rest my case.

I like sauerkraut and lima beans (though not at the same meal).
Foods I find particularly disgusting are potato salad, Harvard beets,
and just about anything with olives in it (most especially green
olives -- el yucco supremo).

Re #14 -- what kind of potato salad? I dislike any form of beets, myself;
someone brought us some pickled beets as part of a postpartum meal in 1990
and we were relieved to discover that young Jonathan actually liked them.
(It seemed crass to just throw the stuff out)

To me there's only one kind of potato salad -- YUCKY potato salad!
Actually, a consequence of my lifelong avoidance of potato salad
is that I am incognizant of the subtle distinctions between varieties
of the aformentioned dish.
I like plain boiled beets served hot, but pickled and most especially
Harvard beets are anethema.

Obviously, remmers has sampled none of my mother`s potato salad,
which is tres excellent. If posted her recipe, I'd be fingerless
to say the least...
wax beans are the yellow version of green beans. in addition to the
yellow color, the emit a foul, acrid odor that can be smelled for
at least 15 miles when cooked.
Pickled beets are OK, but Harvard beets are terrible.
Olives, both black and green are wonderful, and I have been known to
consume several hundred on selected occaisions.
especially on Pizza. (hold the anchovies)

Au contraire, my distinguished colleague -- anchovies are excellent.

first. :)

The list of foods I hate is rather long. Here's a few brief
highlights:
- mushrooms
- shellfish, any kind
- fish in general, most kinds
- brussels sprouts
- okra (which is indeed slimily gross!)
- saurkraut (my mother forced me to eat it as a child, because of
its supposed high levels of vitamin c. What was wrong with vitamin
pills, anyway?
- mayonnaisse. I don't mind eggs, I don't mind oil, but mix 'em
together and add vinegar, and I get all grossed out.
- vinegar. (I substitute lemon juice when I deign to make salad dressing.)
- A lot of other vegetables. Mostly dislike, rather than hate. Was
forced to eat many many yucky vegetables as a child, and now I make
up for it by avoiding most green things unless they are salad type
vegetables (peppers, cukes, lettuce, etc...).
Whew! This list is getting long. I'll never forget the time I was
invited to dinner in London (England) and my hostess asked me if I had
any particular foods I didn't like. Not wanting to be burdensome with
my long list, I only mentioned hating fish. Needless to say, I was
served a mushroom souffle for dinner. Fortunately, the bread was good.
