I’m with you on the liver. The smell of it cooking sends me running for the hills!
On the vegetables I think squash is the only thing I can’t eat. Dunno just something about it.
I hated broccoli as a kid, love it now. Washed and thrown on a plate with some dressing and I’ll eat a bucket of the stuff.
Kimchi??
I lived in Richmond, Virginia for three years. The Koreans had bought all the mom and pop convenience stores and every one of them smelled like Kimchi. So strong it would take your breath! I ain’t eating anything that smells like that!
A Korean neighbor invited us to a cookout, Korean style. Frigging AWESOME! Watching them cook the sliced beef over the it was something else.
They had it on a heavy duty screen door looking thing that was about 8’×4”. Two strong guys on each end would shake the cooking platform every minute or two. And old man would say something and they would pick the thing up, shake the meat to the center and WHOOSH throw the meat about a foot into the air. After they caught it the old man would take a look and decide whether to toss it again or level it out and continue cooking. The old man also occasionally put some spices on the meat. That Korean meat was some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Soft, tender, melt in your mouth without being fiery hot spicey.
Dang.
I’m getting hungry!
Ah, Koreans:
