What's with all the avocado dislike? :confused:

Yeah its literally like one of the best things you can eat and it's pretty much tasteless I always put Himalayan rock salt and freshly cracked pepper on top to give it some flavour.

I'm guessing people haven't actually tasted ripe fresh avocado. I literally have it every day.

Raw chicken snacks sold in 7-11 in Japan.


To really get people with a list like that you need:

Black Pudding
Balut
Dorien
Surstromming
Kiviak

Very few would eat all those 5, even though I like black pudding a lot, I wouldn't eat the others.

Love black pudding. It doesnt belong in your list.

I like to think i'd give dorium and surstrumming a go, but I've never smelled them...

Kiviak is a no. Only inuits eat it for a reason.

And balut is just plain vile and whoever thought it up needs to hang. :p

Had everything on the original list. Wasn't a huge fan of the snails, and not a fan of tofu. If I was hungry I'd eat both again without any problem what-so-ever.

On the other list, the Balut and Kiviak are a certain no, unless I was seriously starving and there was literally no other food available. Love black pudding though, and for some reason I'm keen to try Surstromming (and Hakarl).

i only know black pudding and surstromming, which is tricky because i definately will eat black pudding and definately won't eat surstromming.....

Eaten 3 of those, Haggis being an actual favourite. I'm quite adventurous with food, but even I'd draw the line at most.

Balut doesn't even taste good :/

Not the sort of grub you’d come across in Asda’s is it though?

My brothers partner is 25 years old and still won’t eat anything green. Cabbage, peas, broccoli etc, if it’s green, she won’t eat it.

Probably just 2 for me, snails and oysters, and I have not tried either before so would be open to a taste.

I used to be a very picky eater, and I have no idea how it changed. Its so weird. To illustrate this I was so picky I would not even eat bananas, I dont think I have ever heard of anyone being too picky to eat bananas but that was me.

The change was very gradual to the point where I dont really remember the point it happened, but i remember going from never drinking coffee in my life to starting to drink coffee daily, I also oddly remember starting to eat tomatoes which I never used to eat before.

I know I'm a fussy eater. Always have been. I scored 40.
My brother is worse than me and would score at least 3 points higher than that.

As someone mentioned bananas. I thought I liked bananas, but last time I tried to eat one I ended up heaving and was almost sick.

You wouldn't touch 2/3 of the things in that list? :p

And my mum calls me fussy because I don't like onion!
