I loved haggis when I had it. Everyone around me was hungover and already feeling worse for wear, so I got to eat as much as I could physically fit into my mouth and stomach. Up there with the best meals I've ever had.

pickled eggs.

Pickled eggs are great! especially the last solitary one bobbing up and down in its jar. You don't know how long its been there, but you have to have it*






*That is the beer talking, seriously - Pickled eggs are gross when sober!



I like eating dry ramen noodles - Not gross but possibly odd.

Some people think oysters are gross.

Beers and oyster shooters!!

I can't do sushi, just knowing it's raw messes with my brain, I only want charred animal flesh. I would try cooked sushi though, but then what's the point.. I may as well just have a big chunk of grilled salmon instead. I also can't do oysters, or any shellfish except the occasional fried clams that are more breading than clam, and clam chowder only if it's homemade and it's really cold outside.

I'd say pickled dude eggs is probably the worst things I've ever seen people eat, no way in hell will I eat them though.


I like eat cheddar cheese and peanut butter together, no bread or anything.

Also chocolate with my mexican food, OMG so good, spicy sauce melted cheese and sweet all in one.

Have had scrapple and head cheese before, both PA delights, they were ok.

I enjoy most offal meats, kidneys, livers etc, with the notable exception of tripe (which my grandad loves with milk and onions).

The one I miss most of all was my nan's specialty, braised, stuffed lambs' hearts in onion gravy. Bloody amazing.

Also enjoy a tongue sandwich. With a bit of branston or HP sauce and sliced up pickled onions.

Just because I have to... Vegemite

And I don't just mean on bread/toast or on biscuits (crackers, not the sweet kind), I'll eat the stuff off a spoon (something most people won't do).

Yeah I'm weird like that. Suprisingly I still have taste buds!


But other than glorious Vegemite...Maybe avocado, cheese and sardine sandwiches? Admittedly I haven't had one in a few years but I loved them.

Its hard finding that stuff around here but i love it too.

I used to put that stuff in my in and out burgers.. grosses out my friends

Seriously, since coming to America I keep seeing and hearing how "English food is terrible" and I have no idea why this is a thing. Typical English dishes are meat and veg (i.e. The same as typical American dishes), what is objectionable about that? I even see things like Shephard's Pie or Fish 'n' Chips frequently featured in restaurants and on the Food Network TV channel, but still, "English food is terrible"...

Well, the names of some of the dishes may be the problem. Spotted Dick comes to mind. Kidney Pie, I'll eat a lot of organs but I draw the line at kidneys. Jellied Eels ... Nuff Said.

I really like canned fish, like sardines, mackerel, kipper, etc. Some people are grossed out by it, but I don't really understand why. It's just fish.

I also really like fried chicken livers.

The British have, at least within the last 20 years or so, left the French and Italians in the dust in terms of cuisine. British is producing the best restaurants, the best chefs in the world right now. The French chefs know it, they know they've been trapped by their own dogma and suffocating rules for too long. Bourdain knows it and has given it multiple reference.

Coming to America from the UK, I was amazed at how totally conservative the US is with it's food, it's endless roads of restaurants all selling the same thing. The same menu repeated in a hundred thousand Italian restaurants, with food that barely resembles fresh Italian food. The hundred thousand Chinese restaurants with no seasoning or heat to their food, to appease the American conservative palate for sweet and bland.

Having lived in both countries a reasonable time, the UK utterly dominates the US for variety, innovation and quality. I cannot really get over how a mixing pot culture like America can be so totally rigid and set in how things are in the kitchen.

Canned sardines, the ones in oil, on toast with a little malt vinegar and ground black pepper, under the griddle to warm. Amazing.

I actually haven't tried one while drunk yet.

They taste like pickles, but with the goodness of eggs, whats not to like?

Oh, since we're talking fish. Smoked Mackerel and or canned sardines on bread with apple syrup.

Love my some apple syrup.

See, I'm inclined to agree with you there, old chum. Now, I will add the caveat that I love American(-style) food, however that's mainly because it's all mostly a combination of any from sweet/sticky/greasy/hot and my palate is entirely unsophisticated. It's totally unsubtle, un-nuanced food.

I would also add, to the poster you quoted, that no-one eats jellied eels or spotted dick anymore, and steak & kidney pies are hardly a staple. They're just one of a wide variety of tasty meat pies and pastries you can get in the British archipelago, chief amongst which (in my opinion) is the mighty Cornish Pasty.

People say Brussels sprouts are awful. I say those people should be put to the sword. Sprouts fried up with olive oil, garlic, leaks, and balsamic vinegar...could eat that all day. Also lentils. I fething love lentils. Not everyone feels the same.


How about food everyone loves that you hate? I hate eggs (I'm so fething weird).

Also, I love haggis and black pudding. Turn up.

Bacon fat sandwiches. You keep the fat from your bacon (the drippins, as they say) and save them in a jar. Then use it as sandwich spread. I like it with some butter, a couple of tomato slices, and some mayo. It makes my lovely bride heave just to look at the jar.

Can I just say, just about any smoked dead animal?

Lol, where in America do you live? In some areas this might be true, but it's hardly a fair blanket statement. (You know, just like it isn't fair to say all British food is grungy meat boiled to tastelessness.)

Virtually every nation has some amazing food if you know where to look. Creole food is mind-blowing. Franchises like Olive Garden or whatever are crap, but that's true in every country too.

Fast food.

Ever since I started eating them in public I have been informed that Pork Rinds are not in fact regarded by all as the divine fruit of the gods.

These people are clearly insane.

edit: Desubot. They are one and the same, unless you're talking about the skin on a pork roast or something.

Woah, why did I knot know those existed? Thank you so very much for enlightening me. I must have those delicious looking bite sized bacon pillows!
