Foods You Hate

[Solly Mack]

89. Boiled spinach

I will eat it raw. I will eat it in pasta dishes.

But if you place a serving bowl of boiled spinach in front of me, I ain't touching it. And the floating bits of hard-boiled eggs throughout gives it the look of larval infested boiled grass.

Beets. No way, no how. Don't like them.

Boiled okra. Again, no way, no how. Well, in gumbo, yes. But only in gumbo.

Keep in mind, I'm from the South.

Pickled eggs. Ain't happening.

Pig feet - Nope.

Horseradish - blech.

Fried chitterlings, yes. Boiled - not in this lifetime. I've had both, prefer them fried if I'm going to eat them at all.

Sweet cornbread. May as well eat cake.

Sweet grits. May as well eat pudding.

Not fond of most desserts. Do like Tiramisu.

Fresh fruit over fruit in pies.

I do enjoy a peach or blackberry cobbler though. If it's done well.

Adore dark chocolate. Not so much milk chocolate.

Not especially fond of apples at all.

Love most vegetables though. With the stated exceptions and willing to try them all until I'm not.

Calf liver & most other assorted other organ dishes. But I will eat chicken livers - fried just right between almost too crispy and still tender or wrapped in bacon.

I've eaten rattlesnake but been there, done that, no reason to ever do it again. It was fried, tasted a lot like a light crispy pork rind, of which I have tried but don't eat.

No to "crackling".

No to chow-chow (relish).

I'm sure there are other things.

The thing is, people enjoy what they enjoy and that's a good thing!
