I just can't figure out the popularity of summer sausages. They are absolutely HIDEOUS. The first time I tried one I thought it would be like a variant of salami. It wasn't even close. It's not just that I hate the taste of summer sausage, it is also that it doesn't taste the least bit natural. It's like eating a chemical concoction of something artificial.
Besides feeling absolute disgust in that particular food product, I also have a feeling of amazement. Amazement that there are actually people who eat that horrid chemical laden stuff. Amazement and curiosity. Curiosity as to how people tolerate summer sausages. Come on, if you eat that chemical product, please confess it here and post why you like it. I really need to know. I've tried several different summer sausages and I have to spit them out immediately. I just can't tolerate them and I am the type who loves exotic foods (not to the extent of Andrew Zimmern who actually ate a Sugar Cane Rat).
Oh, and if there is any other "popular" food out there that you absolutely detest, post it here. Maybe there is even somebody out there that likes chicken franks. Bad as they are, not nearly as horrible as summer sausages.
You should go to our local casino. We now have all-you-can-eat Alaskan King Crab for just $7.99. Will check it out next week.
Coming from the midwest, I love the stuff. Have made it at home..the nitrites will probably kill me some day though.
Yuca! she screams, running from the room.
I’m a foodie and love trendy stuff, especially Cuban food, but I draw the line at library paste. Makes poi taste divine in comparison.
FYI-Cilantro gives off a chemical taste to about half the population. Google it.
Calamari remind me of those wide white rubber bands on broccoli.
I have a medical condition and the only soda I can drink that does not induce a flare is Root Beer. I have one every Fri afternoon. I buy the expensive small batch stuff, very rich and creamy, also very complex flavors.
i detest beer, bologna, okra, and cantelope. and artificial grape flavored anything makes me sick.
Fried Walla Walla onion rings are rally sweet. Sauted onions get really sweet once they start to carmelize.
I say this as a guy who would pick through spaghetti sause when I was a kid to remove even the tiniest bit of onion. I love them now.
Hot sausages that just squirt fat out when you bite them. Even the smell is like nasty ..ewwww hubby loves them. Next up is the way folks up here put sugar in all their salads,potato,slaw,macaroni...ect
One of my favorites are funnel cakes,go to any carnival or amusement park in the summer and you can get them powdered or drizzled with syrup.yum
I hear ya...sometimes I wish my taste buds never grew up. I used to sit on the front porch as a kid and eat cans of sardines, potted meat, Vienna Sausages and more of the same with a big ole' smile. No more does that appeal to me...Spam is the only hold over, and that is rare.
I like lobster, it’s just not in my price range

I’ve heard reports that Maine/Boston/NE lobster is wholesaling for about $2.50/lb. ... my local seafood place still prices it like it’s gold though..
And an omelet is a chicken abortion. Think on that.
My mother made me eat navy beans in a restaurant when I was around 3 or 4. I still remember it and likely so do the other diners. First there was the awful texture and then the explosion. I was 35 or so before I would eat beans again. Now I will eat anything but meat or poultry and drink anything other than milk. Yes I am that conservative who avoids meat. But I do love cheese.
My Father wouldnt eat Ketchup because he claimed there was onion in it. L0L
I LOVE onions and hot peppers and Tomatoes!
Life wouldn’t be worth living without them
Anchovies. Best way to RUIN a pizza. However, my wife loves them for some reason.
Mm fish steaks, sardines n crackers... wife despises them heh
I always liked Campbell's Pepper Pot Soup. Hard to find these days.
There aren't many of them left but I used to love to go to Black Angus restaurants where they served steak with a BIG onion ring on top. Oh, and a frosty mug of beer with that.
The sight of oysters on the half shell makes me gag.
Snot on a Rock. That is what that is.
Oh, I tried that once,,, wasn’t my cup o tea... especially when I found out what tripe is... coughs
