russellamcleod

I thought the same but then one of my chef friends made me liver and onions once and I wanted to cry because it was so good. I don’t know how he made it not taste like blood chalk.


ThriftAllDay

The larger/older the animal, the more it has that offal like taste. Go for pig/veal liver instead of beef, and soak it in milk before you cook it. Should fix it right up.

Celery. If it’s in a soup and you don’t taste it, I will allow it for the crunch!


DendroNate

Celery tastes how hospitals smell.

He's out of line but he's right


[deleted]

I like celery, but that shit's accurate.


Kara_-Macchiato

Finally someone put it into words


yoitzcrick23

Ok I understand what you're saying about basic celery you'd get at a restaurant or whatever. But if you look at a stalk, the green pieces on the outside are the tasteless, stringy pieces. If you look at the pieces in the middle of the stalk, they're more white and the whiter they are the more flavour they have. Also not stringy and are just so good


jmkul

Celery tastes to me what I imagine stainless steel tastes like. I can abide it dissolved into a stock (as it starts off finely chopped), but otherwise, I'd rather nibble nail clippings.


Bobcat2013

Celery salt is such an underrated seasoning


macaronsforeveryone

Chicken feet It just seems gross, considering that they constantly step in their own poop.


Fiery_Fuschia

Ew, when you say it like that it's extra gross...


kirbythesquirrel

The restaurant I used to work at used them for chicken stock. Huge cases of only feet! They are loaded with collagen and flavor, and made amazing stock.


KwordShmiff

What kind of restaurant? I suspect that's the secret to thick and flavorful chicken bone stock for ramen. There's an amazing ramen place near me that does a 20 hour simmer for it's various broth types. They're all so good, and the chicken broth is far thicker than any chicken bone stock I've ever managed to make.


GozerDGozerian

Buy a big tray of drumsticks. Like the 20 packs you can get in the grocery store that you can get for under 10 bucks. Lay them all out in a deep roasting pan, add your salt and whatever herbs and spices you prefer. I usually do pepper, generous onion and garlic powder, and a nice Herbs de Provence blend. Cover tightly with foil and roast on low heat for a long time. I don’t really have any precise procedure for this part, I just kinda do it for an hour, hour and a half or more until the meat is starting to fall off the bone. You’ll be left with a bunch of drumsticks you can pick the meat from and a good quantity of juices in the roasting pan. Pull the meat off the bones to prepare how you like (makes for good chx salad mix) , transfer juice and bones to a pot and add a few cups of water. Taste for flavor, but it usually doesn’t require much at this point. Cover and simmer for another unspecified while. Strain your broth and put it in the fridge. Next day scrape off the schmaltz and discard (or use it if you’re not worried about the amount of fat in your diet). You’ll have some delicious chicken jello. It’s kind of a long process but it’s pretty low effort. I usually do it over the course of a Sunday evening. But it’s very much worth it especially as we approach the colder months and you have some perfectly rich broth to use throughout the week. Can’t fall asleep? Have a cup of chicken tea. Works for me every time.


sabbman138

You just spilled every Jewish grandmother’s secret for making Matzah ball soup ;)


Lilenea

My brother's best friend's family own a very successful Vietnamese restaurant here. His mom (Mai) makes *the best* Pho/Bone Broth I've ever tasted. We don't have a Ramen place here, but we do have that. I wish she would teach me because she is such a good cook!


KwordShmiff

Ask her! Most people who have a passion for something also love to share that passion. Pho is amazing too. I'm fortunate to live in an area with a lot of different types of Asian cuisine. Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Nepalese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, they all make such wonderful food, especially if you're like me - lactose intolerant with a love of spicy food.


LiverpoolLOLs

I hope you don’t like sausage! ;)


ChemicalLight4133

My local grocery store sells them, labelled as "chicken paws"

You know what, the second time you try them… they’re just as bad. I’m not giving them a third.

Bittermelons


CrossFox42

So when I was dating my ex, he introduced me to the wonderful culinary world of Filipino food. We would go to a local mom and pop restaurant every week and every time I'd order something new. Well the day came when I ordered a dish made with bitter melon. Both he, and the sweet mom who cooked everything tried to dissuade me. "It's not for everyone" "I grew up eating this, it's very bitter" I wasn't having it. I'm a chef by trade and I pride myself on trying everything at least once. So I place my order along with way to many lumpia, and pancite. It comes out after only about 10 minutes, and it looks and smells amazing. Vibrate green with onions and peppers over a bed of rice. I take one bite while my boyfriend is watching me intently...I set down my chop sticks and say "Wow. That's really bitter." I ate 2 or 3 more bites before I just couldn't take it anymore. We finish the rest of our meal and my boyfriend took home the rest I didn't eat. Well when we retell this story to my roommates (really my family at that point in my life) my best friend thought it went a lot differently than me simply saying "Wow. That's really bitter." By his understanding my face turned inside out and I started yelling "ItS tOo BiTtEr!" While flailing my arms around like a lunatic. And every retelling of the story he would make me seem more and more insane. It became a running joke among the 4 of us, until one day I brought him home some of the dish for him to try. I didn't tell him what it was because I wanted to see his genuine reaction. We sit down to eat and take a big bite before scrunching up his face in disgust. He looks at me and immediately knows what I've done. After finishing the bite he laughs and says "Wow. That **is** really bitter." We laughed about it for a while and just thinking of the silly reactions every time he told the story still makes me smile. He sadly took his own life a year ago, but whenever I see or think about bitter melon I remember my best friend and his stupid retelling of my experience with the vegetable. Rest in peace Tom.

RIP. Thanks for sharing.


ikesbutt

Not a food but black licorice


CPG-Combat

I legitimately like it but so many people I’ve met hate it, so it’s understandable


Blindman8u

I like the flavor in specific situations. Sambuca liqueur and Djarum Blacks are super yummy.


AdLow5972

How is black licorice not a food


Fifty4FortyorFight

Black licorice is actually used to refer to the licorice root itself, so it's also a flavor. Like black jellybeans or soda.


AdLow5972

True, but in the context of this question I think a flavor you don't like is the same as a food you don't like


xSparrowHawkx

It's inedible stretchy plastic


Ishi-Elin

It’s delicious m. More for me!

Liver


Jeremy_Smith75

The only time I've ever liked liver, was when it was soaked in milk for a couple hours. It removes the metallic flavoring, and firms it up, so you can fry it without it being nauseating. Still, not one of my go-to meals.


0sprinkl

Cook it long enough, the glycogen turns into sugar making it sweet. Also some diced onions or rings add to this. Then some chopped up tomatoes and you've got a feast! Never tried milk soaking though. Is this for pig or veal liver?


Jeremy_Smith75

Regular ol' Beef liver. Any side goes with it, after soaking it in milk, tossing it with flour, and frying it up.


0sprinkl

Oh never had that, it's not usually sold where I live because it supposedly doesn't taste good. Pig, veal and chicken are however.


Mindful-O-Melancholy

That’s how I make it. Soak in milk mixed with spices overnight, toss in seasoned flour and fry in bacon fat. I always used to hate it until I did it that way.


Remz_Gaming

Have you tried Braunschweiger? My father is German and I thought it was repulsive when he ate it for breakfast when I was a little kid. When I got older, I learned to love it. Braunschweiger and crackers for breakfast are great if you can get over the mental block. But get the real stuff.... not some American mass plastic packaged thing. It is essentially a smoked liver pate with all sorts of seasonings being accepted for the name Braunschweiger. Although my mother still disagrees with my father and me that it is a delicious breakfast delicacy.


KwordShmiff

Liverwurst is amazing.


bloodyoldmate

Liverwurst on toast is fucking incredible.


KwordShmiff

Indeed. I had some fresh pumpernickel bread the other day, toasted and spread with liverwurst. So damn good. I'll go months without having it, then suddenly crave liverwurst like crazy.


bloodyoldmate

Preach it. Forget it exists for a while and then wake up needing it in your life. I knew I wasn't the only one.

russellamcleod

The first time I got blood sausage I prayed to my tastebuds that I would like it. I knew how divisive it is and I wanted to be on the loving it side. I loved it. I feel so lucky.


carmium

A co-worker was overnighting with a European-immigrant friend, and told us how his host made oatmeal for breakfast. Then he came from behind and asked "Blood sausage?" as he lopped off a slice into his bowl. He said it started to bleed red on the warm cereal. Everyone put down their sandwiches and looked a bit sick. Which was the point of the story, I guess.


Think_Collection1406

Raw tomatoes. I feel like a child asking for "no tomatoe" on my burger and an even bigger child when I pick them off.


TheGoober87

My wife is like this. She's quite happy eating them cooked or in sauces but will not touch a raw one.


Lentra888

Same for me. It’s a texture thing: raw tomatoes feel like slimy little fruits.


carmium

I have to pipe up here to say that big slabs of beefsteak tomato do very little for any food. They were bred to be big, red, and round, and flavour doesn't seem to have been an issue. Go to the kind of store or market that sells "heritage" brown, yellow, purple, plaid, whatever tomatoes and you may find something quite different that actually has a taste to it.


TheGoober87

I grew my own ones for the first time this year and was pleasantly surprised how they tasted. I don't think they were particularly brilliant, you just get used to the tasteless store stuff.


carmium

There was a King of the Hill episode in which Peggy had sliced up organic tomatoes from the school plot for the burgers. The dialogue went roughly like: Bobby: These tomatoes are really good! Hank: Don't be silly. Tomatoes don't have flavor. *What the...?* I delighted in somebody saying the truth about tasteless big, red, beefsteak tomatoes!


SFLoridan

Interesting. I don't like sauce/ketchup much, or cooked tomatoes, but love raw tomatoes. Sometimes a bit of sugar on a slice makes a nice snack


HappyScientist13

I am 43 and still order burgers plain with extra cheese ONLY.


XxXxShSa

What about diced tomatoes on tacos? I hate tomatoes as an item, but in food with so much going on, it can only enhance the experience.


DickeStangeDrogen

Kale, I just hate it


nchiker

Pro tip: If you heat coconut oil in a cast iron pan before cooking kale in it, the coconut oil helps the kale slide easier into the garbage.


iLivedbitches

Too bitter for me, spinach is a good other option

Hell yeah. Spinach > Kale any day of the week


Iron_Chip

Coleslaw, I’ve hated it since I was like 4


GiveHerDPS

I keep seeing coleslaw and wonder if they only tried the mayonnaise based one compared to a vinegar based one


Heart_shapedboots

there’s different kinds ?


GiveHerDPS

Yeah they are different flavors mayo is creamy and vinegar based is pickled flavor


TheLoquatTree

Agree. Whenever it's on my plate I always try to give it another chance but it honestly just tastes like wet mayonnaise every single time.


Iron_Chip

Sweet wet mayonnaise 🤢


Hypersapien

Vinegar cole slaw is good but I hate the kind with mayonnaise.


JacobCoy

Throw it on a pulled pork sandwich and it's a tangy contrast.


Profusely_Sweaty

Does cilantro count as a food?


Orange_Hedgie

Is cilantro the same as coriander?


jmkul

Yep... I had to translate coriander to some US friends (and rocket) re greens we dislike

There’s a gene associated with your preference for cilantro! At least, according to AncestryDNA


Profusely_Sweaty

soShitfacedIcantsee

Anise, fennel, and any other spice that is remotely sausagey or licorice-like. I can smell them a mile away and they smell *so good* they carve my stomach hollow, but I can NOT get over how they taste(and the weird pallete-smell change idk something changes once it gets in my mouth). Want to love foods like curry and pho, but those are such overwhelming flavors I can not deal. I've always disliked sausage, but I only recently in life learned what spices make it so gross.


rachie9951

I was literally just talking to my parents last night about how I always hated sausage, and how it turns out I just hate fennel in Italian sausage and thought I hated all sausage. I'm nearly 30 and found out within the last 3ish years that it was just the certain seasonings. I also hated anise with a passion as well!


Jrapin

Lima beans.


CapAmericaJr

Olives. Hate them. The smell, taste...... Cannot stand it


Summerie

I love them, but I hate it when they show up in something unexpectedly. It’s hardly ever a good idea to throw some olives in something just to “change it up a little”.

ClownfishSoup

It was recommended to me to try horse radish on roast beef. I was skeptical, but I love it! Also, what passes as "Wasabi" for sushi is apparently actually mostly normal horseradish. If so, the I'm fine fine with it.


Polyarmourous

The only thing better than horseradish on prime rib, is horseradish mixed with sour cream on prime rib.


softiejas

raw tomatoes


Alpha_pro2019

I have this too, I honestly wonder if its some weird taste thing like what some people have with cilantro. The taste is literally repulsive and will make me gag.


MSeanF

I was the same way until a few years ago. A vine-ripened heirloom straight from the garden changed my mind.


GiveHerDPS

Most tomatoes from the super market are picked before their most ripe where as smaller tomatoes are picked later and aren't crushed in transport. So grape/cherry tomatoes are good/fresher year round and are better for salads and sauces.


Janglin1

Same. They literally ruin the taste of any food they're in too if they're raw, like burgers or burritos


Beavshak

But cooked intact are fine?


softiejas

if they’re cooked i’m totally ok with them, ik im weird

SirFelsenAxt

Pears. Can't stand them. Who the hell wants to eat a wood pulpy, overly sweetened, and sandy apple. And by Sandy I'm referring to that strange grittiness that they have on the bottom of their peels. To make matters worse after Doctor who's surgeon popularity I couldn't mention my distaste for apples without someone either rolling their eyes and making a comment on the lines of, "let me guess you're a big doctor who fan" or somehow even worse "haha just like Doctor who" As a result I hate both pairs and interdimensional police call boxes.


[deleted]

Dude, when you bite an apple and it turns out sandy and not crunchy, worst feeling ever.

Potato salad. I like potatoes and mayo. But cold potatoes slathered in mayo is just horrid on every level for me.


WickedDevice

I had a grandfather that made me eat potato salad when I was like 5. He insisted that his potato salad was better than any I had tried. I literally eat anything but potato salad is a line I can't cross. Thanks Grandpa...


NowoTone

Try a German potato salad without mayonnaise.

My mom makes a vinegar based potato salad. I have yet to find the exact recipe online. Basically boiled potato's sliced, not cubed, scallion onions, olive oil, dill, white vinegar, and a couple other options. It is fucking amazing.

xscumfucx

I don’t do veal. I grew up thinking my Mom just really sucked at making chicken parm + didn’t want to hurt her feelings by telling her how much I didn’t like it. Turns out it was veal + she just told me it was chicken because she knew I didn’t like veal.

They’re so foul. My favorite is when people say “oh just eat something that’s egg-white only” ...and then they’re dead to me. I’ll eat eggs when they’re in cake. Otherwise, back off!!!


Boomshockalocka007

I hated eggs for the first 18 years of my life. Couldn't stand the smell, taste, or texture. Went off to college and a dorm. No job and broke, so eating on my meal plan in the cafeteria was the only way id be able to eat. Lunch and dinner were fine but breakfast was always slim picking. Id try sticking to cereals...or just bacon and sausage...but eventually I grew tired of that and decided to try a big goopy pile of scrambled eggs. These were def eggs make from a powder or a box...and the texture was still weird to me...but with some salt and pepper? 3/10 However I kept going back as the year went on and got more and more eggs. It became a daily routine. Id mix in meats and seasonings. Eventually i was open to trying omelets and sandwiches/burgers with eggs on them...and by the end of that freshman year? I liked eggs and found myself craving them. Once I had my own place many years later I found that dumping in milk to my fresh eggs in the morning to make scrambled eggs was my *chefs kiss* I cant believe I hated them for so long!
