Strangest Dinner You Ever Made - Or Ate

[blunthead]

I played soccer, and when you're sprinting to get into position or chase down an offender, your mouth is open, you're panting, and you catch one. You can either stop and retch on the field, or swallow and keep going. I always chose the latter.

Bugs may be an important answer to global nutrition. Insects: Nutritious, but Delicious? / Nutrition

Yes. I've accidentally eaten my share of flying insects. I ride a motorcycle, remember?

When I attended Culinary Arts, I had to try everything I cooked. I put my foot down with mutton though. I refused and lost marks that day. I do like escargot and I will put up with frog legs.

Was this decision due to the fact that it was a lamb?

I had the same reaction to Salmon loaf. I believe taste buds mature over time, and that that is the reason kids hate to eat certain things. I love now some things I despised as a kid, such as Lima beans, Brussel Sprouts, salmon and other fish dishes. I was taught in anatomy that a baby's taste buds are immature at birth except for the ones which detect sweetness, which are fully mature; reason being that the human nervous system has lots and lots of growing to do and the only nutrient it ever uses is glucose. So, the infant needs to be able appreciate and crave sweetness in foods.

I still am not a fan of lima beans and brussel sprouts! My taste buds must have stopped growing.

There's nowt wrong with Branston Pickle! And Picallili is yum too!

Eeeeewww. I would rather eat a jar of branston pickle than a spoonful of piccallili. That said, I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than do either.

They say the first bite is taken with the eyes. So anyone who doesn't know what piccallili is, it's pickled cauliflower, broccoli and all the other vegetables that nobody likes, in a mustard sauce.

Bon appetite.

Plenty of adults still don't like what they didn't like as children. I don't know how else to understand how my tastes for certain foods could have changed so drastically, though.

It is probably correct. Remember that i hated fish as a kid but eat it if well made now. Fishsoup Yum.

And there a certain things I loved as kid and still do, but come to think of them they are mostly on the sweet side.

Light Beer

Light Beer

I had a bottle of light beer once, but the beer company had accidentally filled it with carbonated water. My friends insisted that, no, it was a beer. But I'm pretty sure I'm right.

I love tomatoes. I'll eat a fresh-grown tomato (a real fresh-grown, not plastic tomatoes from a store) with more gusto than an apple, and I like apples. I put stewed tomatoes or freshly cubed tomatoes in lots of food. Yummy.

When I was twentyish, I was on the subway heading home from work and a man who was 50-60 was carrying a basket of tomatos. He lifted one out and took a big bite. He noticed me staring at him and grumpily said "it's just like eating an apple. Nothin wrong with it" I laughed and told him the only other person I saw eat a tomato like that was my dad.

I used to have a motorcycle. I had this book. It really was quite handy, despite the title! It had maintenance instructions etc..

True. I like Miller Lite as much now as I did when mom used to gimme a bottle filled with it.

You don't have to end up with bugs in your teeth.

But then that begets the sequel, How To Look Good With Helmet Hair.

I'm just glad I don't have to eat bugs. But now...why am I thinking about how my hair looks...?

You must have been fun to burp.....

Point taken. How is American beer like making love in a canoe?

But this is my American beer (brewed right in my home town too).

No motorcycle required, not even a helmet or push-up bra.

No thread-jack intended with the above.

Strangest dinner?
Depends on your definition of strange.
I've made awful things before. Learned the hard way a long time ago about using canned shrimp in anything. My place stank for three days afterwards.
