Food you like that most people think is gross

[baseline bum]

As a counterpart to the other thread, what's something you love to eat that almost everyone else you know hates?

My picks would be
- octopus
- raw oysters
- menudo

Mayo, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Jack in the Box and Burger King tacos and ing black licorice...

I swear, being a black licorice eater I face ostracism and snarky comments all the time. You try offering black licorice to someone who doesn't like it (82% of people) and they'll stare at you like you offered to their sister. I don't know what it is, but black licorice sure do bring it out in people.

I'm even embarrassed to be seen buying it in the grocery store. I'm made to feel uncomfortable as if I were buying a tube of lube.

Black licorice ing rules, as do mushrooms (especially fried in olive oil and put in an omelet). Gotta disagree strongly on the mayo though.

Evidently everything I like pretty much all food. I cannot believe so many people hate Sushi and seafood.

ok...this is strange, but I do it all the time. My babysitter taught it to me when I was 5 years old. I mix my corn with mashed potatoes, and throw in some miracle whip. I love that .

That's a pretty common misconception about sushi. Some of it is raw like tuna, yellowtail, sea urchin, roe, etc., but octopus, crab, giant clam, salmon, eel, etc. is usually cooked but served chilled. And yes, people eat raw cow; it's called steak tartare and it's delicious.



Are you telling me you don't like a nice thick rare steak? You're definitely eating raw cow in the center of that.

My mom used to cook potted meat with potatos and put it in tortillas. That was the best.

Gotta agree with the Jack in the Crack tacos.

Can't hang withe the black licorice though. Remember those candies that were black licorice covered with a white candy s ? "Good and Plenty" or some crap like that? Blech.

I dare you to go into a store and buy a large bottle of lube and the biggest cu ber you can find. Don't buy anything else -- just those two items.
