For me its not about liking everything. Its about trying everything. You tried it, don't like it, fine. I hate finicky eaters who refuse to try stuff. "I have super taste buds, I can't!" Fuck off.Quoting Grouchy (view post)
Hell some stuff I dislike I retry every few years (not all, fuck off forever lima beans). Its probably about time for me to give crayfish another go.
Well yeh, I have my preferences too. It's not like I would eat roasted grasshopper everyday. I just mean... put me on level 1 of The Platform, and I'm going left to right eating everything in sight.
Would you try insects and arachnids though? If so, kudos, you beat me lol
Don't see my palette warming up to arachnids and insects either.
In Mexico they eat fried grasshoppers. It's not bad, kind of like very salty peanuts.
Yeah, I'm always a little amazed at adults that have weird food aversions that aren't based on nutrition or allergy.
I mean people who are like, I don't like lettuce or tomatoes or whatever, not people who don't want to eat bugs.

Don't like cooked broccoli or spinach.
Won't go anywhere near dishes made with mayo or cilantro.
I live in a great food city and will try anything once, but my taste is still horribly basic when I'm on my own.
Never eaten a bug.
Broccoli cooked how? Had oven roasted? Pretty good.

If there was a culture somewhere where it was a delicacy... of course. But I'm not just eating a ghost pepper to say I've ate a ghost pepper.
I eat broccoli and spinach daily.
Cooking broccoli is fucking delicate.
Roasted garlic is pretty damn good, and spinach cooks down so much it can get worked into a lot of stuff without people knowing.

Spinach is awesome.
These foods suck: peas, broad beans, pickles, liver, kidneys, some types of shellfish, chicken feet, bondagee (silkworm larvae)
I would still eat them to be polite if I was served them (well, not the last two, because they suuuuck) , but they are not something I would pick out to eat myself. I also hate crab because it is such a pain in the arse to eat without much in the way of reward - shrimp and lobster are both better in that respect.

Peas and pickles can fuck off and die. I cant believe theres a whole soup of peas. Who are these lunatics...that's just a bowl of baby vom
The secret to crab is it's not filling. So eat everything else until you're full. Then as dinner is winding down that's when you attack the crab legs. Slowly pulling apart while making conversation....its the icing on a meal. You can eat it forever and not get full.

I'd eat crab legs until I end up like the Gluttony guy on Seven.
Crab and Lobster are the ultimate. I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't have regular access to Maine Lobster.
Love em too. Delicious.

Yep. Did this exactly once --- whole crabs, big table, lotsa newspaper everywhere --- and never again.
It's a lotta work to eat small amounts of food over an extended period of time.
ETA: Ditto for peeling individual shrimp.

Love me some crab and lobster.
However, for true gluttony, it’s shrimp boil time.

I like crab. Lobster, eh. I love shrimp.

Popcorn shrimp is the best shrimp. Butterfly is the worst.

Butter poached shrimp begs to differ.
