Have you watched Andrew Zimmern?

Is that the bald fat guy who says stuff like, "You can really taste the blood, that's a good thing."?

... My mother always added cinnamon to the beaten eggs before dipping the bread for French toast.

Interesting, so did mine. However I considered French toast to be another thing that is wrong.

I will do anything for good French toast. I'm not kidding.

OK.

I've lost my appetite for baby seal flipper now.

Think I'll go make myself a ludafisk sandwich. If you give a man a fishing pole and teach him to fish, he will never want for fish.
If you give a man ludafisk, he will never want fish.

I think he's cute, too bad he's married. I melt when he makes those big cow eyes into the camera. :!)

Funny, my mother, being French, had never heard of French Toast, and we never had it.

Was the poll restricted to nit-picky, finicky eaters that grew up in homes where no one could cook?

Damn! Almost everything on that list is on my favorite list. What is going on?

Blueberries and maple syrup? I can understand others being on the list, even if I like them (for example, I know people who don't like canned tuna or mayo) and I certainly approve of things like liver, canned peas (not fresh peas, just canned ones), cooked carrots and lima beans being on that list. :biggrin: But I've never heard of people who don't like blueberries and maple syrup! They probably had only 20 people voting. :rolleyes:

that is the dumbest list ever. there are way worse foods than the ones on that list. Mushrooms and Onions? Come on. I have to say though I always wondered about cilantro. Sometimes I like it and sometimes it tastes like soap I didn't know there was a genetic factor to that.

Supposedly 75,000 people voted in that poll. I can only assume that 74,997 people split their votes among the other 18, two voted for maple syrup and one for blueberries.

I don't care for blueberrys, but I wouldn't put them on my worst list. About the only food I agree with is the Mayonnaise. I've never liked it or Miracle Whip.

Miracle Whip sucks. Cain's real natural mayo is killer!

I was fed rice and bread pudding years ago i used to love it, Yorkshire pudding with jam on is a favorite now, and for i treat i have some dried mixed fruit, currents, sultanas etc with
evaporated milk.

The worst food ever must be jellied eels, pigs trotters or ox tongue.

I sure hope you aren't talking about Evo's list of decayed secondary meats prepared in various hellish and unsanitary ways.

hmm.. I can make mediocre French toast on my own. How well do you do Mickey Mouse pancakes?

Is that the same as Sewer Rat Crepes? Cause I've got a killer recipe for that.

Hey! They're "classics".

Just wait until I have my PF tasting party.

I also want to say that the way I cook large white lima beans (not those gawdawful green ones), they are soft and buttery and melt in your mouth. Those were among the most often requested dishes by the girls growing up and the Spawn of Evo makes them now.

I think a lot of kids grew up hating some foods because they weren't cooked right. I remember eating at some of my friend's homes when I was little and having to politely gag down the food their mom cooked.
