(14,853 posts)144. I've STILL never ate a mollusk of any kind!
No oysters, clams, snails, octopus, squid, etc.
They're often not cheap in the Midwest, but just seeing their generally slimy texture has always been such a turn-off for me that I never tried them. And my grandparents ALWAYS had oysters to eat during Thanksgiving, but I'd close my mouth tightly whenever family members urged me to just try one of them.
Maybe I'll discover later that I love mollusks?
I've been pretty content without them so far.

okra is best eaten tossed in cornmeal and fried. Preferably in an iron skillet

Yellow squash and yams. I think that's why I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie as well.

Peas. I can't stand anything about them. Just the thought makes my throat close.
