Mine are brussels sprouts, beets, anchovies and livers

    A lot of people seem to balk at canned sardines. Maybe it’s the crunch of biting into the spine that puts people off…

      I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.

      Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
      Read the “anchovis” on the description, but confused it with “artichoke”, which I like.

      Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were “dead fish complete with bones” on my pizza.

      I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers… ;-)

        dead fish complete with bones

        Well they’re harder to keep on the pizza when they’re alive!

    Brussel sprouts, but roasted in a pan with oil
    Asparagus, prepared the same way
    Raw radishes
    Raw celery, sometimes with peanut butter
    Raw broccoli
    Lemon slices that come with your water at the restaurant
    Grapefruit

      Roasted asparagus is the bomb. Streamed broccoli with cheese sauce. Raw broccoli with ranch dip. Raw celery, again with ranch dip/dressing.

      I see you dude/ette!

    Indian food. The Europeans won’t understand this, but a lot of Americans straight up refuse to eat it based on the smell.

          Tbh, the Midwest gives the US a bad name when it comes to food preferences. The south spices the hell out of foods, the southwest has a ton of Mexican influence, the west coast has both Mexican and Asian influence in their cuisine

            I live in the Midwest and there are busy Indian restaurants everywhere. The twin cities and Chicago both have some of the more diverse food scenes per capita in the country.

      Might be a regional thing, but I live in the US and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who dislikes Indian food.

      Just unlocked a trauma. Family breakfast on weekends, start with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Then a glass of milk poured into the same un rinsed glass. If we ran out of milk, it was instant powdered milk made in the glass. Gritty, warm, with bits of pulp and slight curdling.

      Braunschweiger Mettwurst is a smoked, soft and spreadable sausage usually made from raw minced pork

      Ouf. I eat raw meat at least once a year in my culture, but spreadable raw pork is somehow scary. How does it taste?

        It’s pretty nice. But you can’t just use any raw minced pork

        Germany has very very strict laws regarding what can be labeled Mett. The whole process from butchering to final product is far stricter compared to regular minced pork

        So when you go to a butcher, you can be assured to eat someone safe if you get “Mett”
