i composed this list while i was parked on 71 earlier today.
i'm a low maintenance diner, an equal opportunity eater. there are a few things i avoid (eggs, peppers, mayonnaise) but i will eat them in the right context (cake, fajitas, tuna salad, respectively). i'll try anything once, the good things twice. however, there are some foods that i will never touch again. like hearing pierce brosnan sing in mamma mia!, these are experiences i would rather not have had.
my top 5 most inedible foods:
- mussels. i'd rather swallow my own tongue.
- raw bacon. in high school, i went on a class trip to paris. at this sandwich shop, i ordered a blt. imagine my surprise when the bacon was raw.
- scrod. alton brown talked about scrod on the food network. it seemed like a harmless little white fish, so when i saw it on the menu at porkopolis, i gave it a try. never again. it is the only entree i have ever sent back and ordered something else.
- this swedish candy i don't even know the name of. when i had the opportunity to study overseas, one of my fellow students was from sweden. she shared this hard candy that is a blend of herbs (cloves and anise?) and apparently very popular. i (tactfully) spit it out.
- rumple minze. i'm not going into it. it knows why.

I'm with you on the mussels. I try them every few years to see if past experiences were flukes. I will try them again, but not in a restaurant. I'll buy them and cook them myself.
That's what I did with lamb and found out I like it very much.
