What is NOT for dinner tonight: 'Foods' you would NEVER eat!

I must hook up with some good beets recipes...

I think my mother forever tainted me with them as a child--I became convinced that they tasted like dirt.

**Mira** · March 12th, 2007, 10:58 PM

Yeah, gotta scrub 'em good, then peel them and dice or quarter. Then steam them al dente. I like them with lemon juice on them.

**CherryDarling** · March 12th, 2007, 11:08 PM

They sound yummy and healthy...I just must scrub my "dirt" memories as a child and move on.

Beets (or beetroot as we call them) are REALLY good for you. Packed with vitamins and antioxydants. I like it grated raw over a salad or just steamed with maybe a mustard/mayo dip.

I have a friend who will eat anything but beets because she says they taste like dirt. I honestly don't think I've eaten a beet in my life.

Wow, this thread is... is....

I will check back everytime I feel hungry but shouldn't eat.

And bella, I think your "do not eat" list is longer than anyone else's I know, including mine, which is saying something. I'm pretty picky.

seafood except fish & it can't be slimy
organ meat
venison
asparagus
brussel's sprouts
mushrooms

lots of other things...

Black licorice or anything that tastes like it, including Ouzo or whatever that crap is... UGH.. just the smell turns my stomach

**Mira** · March 15th, 2007, 02:54 PM

Oh... agreed. seriously ouzo and its relative raki (turkish) are lethal.

milk grosses me out, when it's by itself. everytime i drink it i feel like i'm drinking cow snot or something.

and i can't eat eggs i've prepared myself. something about them being eggs. its the texture or something. i think it's that mucous feeling again. if i go out and they are prepared though i usually am okay.

I'm the same. I never drink milk and even if I was in desperate need of a drink and was offered milk, I would decline

Eggs...yuck, yuck, yuck... whenever I make eggs, I always have to cut out that squiggly umbilical cord thingy in the eggs...and it doesn't matter the reason - scrambled eggs, eggs used for a cake...whatever...GET IT OUTTA THERE.

Oh god I love milk...... I love it so much. I would drink it all day every day if I weren't lactose intolerant these days, and if it didn't have so many calories. I can't verbalize how much I love milk. If I'm good enough to go to heaven, I will have milk every day.

**pacific breeze** · March 15th, 2007, 11:10 PM

I hardly ever use milk except in coffee and tea and not always then. I am not a fussy eater in that I am pretty adventurous, although I like good food, not fast food crap.

I don't eat anything slimy, organ meats, or much red meat at all, pork, anything too sweet (most candy, cereals and desserts are out unless they're homemade or made by a really good pastry chef), and I don't like really bland food. Other than that, I will eat just about anything that's put before me as long as it's not on an endangered list.

--The secret is to brown the meat with a dash of salt & pepper, cook for 45 minutes then coat the ribs in brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of soya sauce and slide back in the oven for another hour. Tony Roma's barbeque sauce comes at the end so it sticks nicely.
