I tend to think less of adults who are picky eaters

[Help!I'maRock!]

My roommate is a pretty pickey eater, he refuses to eat mushrooms, nuts, anything from the sea, etc. But the one that gets me is that he is so suspect of things that he does like that are prepared in a way that differs even a bit from the way his mom made them. He's 28 years old and it's like it never occurred to him that there is more than one way to cook/serve some things. I made meatloaf a while back and he was shocked and horrified to see I was putting pork and sausage into it, apparently his mom basically made a giant hamburger patty in a dish and called it meatloaf.

it's only recently that i've had meatloaf with pork in it. we never kept kosher in my house, but my mom was never a pork eater. wife and i don't keep kosher either, but the same basic rule applies. no pork in the house. we make meatloaf either with beef, turkey, or as a mixture. i'd like to try some lamb in it too.

Ahh.... explains a lot.


So if you could SMELL your dead bird fetus in the shell, you'd probably think twice.

what do eggs have to do with feet?

i've had duck tongue....but not chicken feet....i'd give 'em a try....whats that mixed in with them?

I cooked 'em adobo style, the sauce is soy sauce/vinegar/oyster sauce, with garlic and the black things are peppercorns.

I get this because my wife will not TOUCH any beef or pork that has even a HINT of pink in it.

Oh man. That would be hard for me. Steak is probably my favorite food on the planet, and I die a little on the inside if it's overcooked.

I still say its the thought of it that gets people. If it looked like a mcnugget, people would be scarfing them down.

Not the chicken feet.... the balut.

Do you know what Balut is?

It's basically a rotten egg.

 

[Phil513]

Well, there is feet in there too.

Wrong. Its basically a fertilized duck egg. Not rotten.

People eat eggs, people eat duck. Just cause its half way between doesnt make it awful.

Oh, I was thinking it was what Mrs. P's brother called 100 year old eggs.

I may actually try balut if I was drunk enough.

Actually, in the PI thats when they eat them mostly.

Guys stick their tongues in girls mouths.... and their hoo-has... but not the bung hole? What if the butt is already occupied with a stray prarie dog... does it make it awful?

This is what your argument sounds like to me.

 

[Phil513]

This is what your argument sounds like to me.

I bet if you watched them assemble a McRib patty at the McDonaldland factory, you would never eat one again.

I like most anything, but am particular about what I eat for health reasons...

And what's up with those dudes who won't eat tomatoes

Can't do it. Tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives are foods I've tried over and over again (usually several times a year because I feel stupid being so picky). I try to come to the table with an open palette and an open mind, and each time I walk away just being thoroughly put off. They don't work for me. And I love V8 juice and any sort of tomato based sauce. But whole or stewed tomatoes are just the worst.

I lub balut and I refuse to apologize for it.

Smells like a boiled egg.

No need to apologize... There is a good chance it would have grown up impoverished and abused, so this was probably a necessary abortion... And you ingest it, thus bringing harmony to it's soul, and allowing the vibrations in the universe to flow freely through the ether wind...

Not the chicken feet.... the balut.

That looks absolutely disgusting and I would not have it anywhere near me let alone my mouth

 

[Abrasion]

Pretty much all I fucking eat is chicken
