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.
McDonalds... It all has the same laxative flavor.
I can't even stand to be in the same room with them.
I loves me some Spam helper...mmmmmmmmmm
Borscht. ‘Harvard’ beets. Okay. Beets of any kind.

It's like eating Styrofoam.
Root beer for me. I am pretty much off all soda pop these days though.
Sweet potatoes.
Try Johnsonville Summer Sausage.
Most people I know love oysters.
Tastes like metallic-flavored snot to me.
But then again, I actually like liver, so maybe I’m screwed up.
I love tripe
A condiment rather than a main dish, but I hate cilantro. In small amounts, it’s okay. But most preparers will load a dish up with the stuff. To me, it makes everything taste like soap. I like strong flavors, but not this weed. Keep hoping it’ll go out of fashion.
Gosh, I agree with almost everybody here. However, I think the worst of the worst is all the low/no fat crap - mayo, peanut butter, butter, cream cheese, and so on. Blech!
Dittos on that, and I’m Southern.
I don’t like turnip greens either. Worse than spinach.
Slugs...just one of a number of things you shouldn’t eat in northern Japan, even if they are nicely plated.
HAHAHA, love summer sausage.
fried Spam (the catsup didn’t make it any better!)
boiled okra (fried is fine)
unseasoned tofu (refused by Ethiopians)
"I find pastrami the most sensual of the smoked meats."
You just haven’t had my sweet potato souffle. ; )
