Ok, so we've discussed food that grosses us out and things that we swear we'll never try. Or that we have tried and will never do so again. But what are some of the foods that we've seen other people eat that you find as a complete turn off? What are your foodie deal breakers?? Was it that hot guy who took you out on an anticipated date who proceeded to pour maple syrup all over a dish of spaghetti, or that fine young lady who dipped her fish and chips in chocolate syrup?
What are some of your odd eating habits that have disturbed others to the point of claiming that you have just lost some serious cool points for delving into some culinary oddity? FYI - if you ever hang out with earthquake, don't eat dill pickles dipped in bleu cheese dressing and buffalo wing sauce.
And of course...WFL???

i have a pretty strong stomach, so i eat a lot of crap that other people just don't. therefore, i rarely judge others on their eating habits.
the best though is when a friend tries something in front of you and says "ew, this is gross...try this" and then you do. 9 times out fo 10 it is pretty gross, but there is some strange compulsion to try it anyway. why do people do that?
today i have no clue what i'll eat. but it'll probably be early since i woke up at 545am today to go work out...a first for la choi!!!!
I know I always come back to Scrapple, but I can't help it.
I was raised to put catsup on those lovable little squares of spiced, left over hog parts.
I was at a diner the morning after a party in Jersey, and there was palapable anticipation for scrapple among several of us.
It came out and there was much joy. Then, a South Jersey heathen grabbed the blueberry pancake syrup and poured it all over his scrapple
Needless to say, Kermit's invitation to join the Bonnaroo expedition that year was revoked immediatly.
Oh yeah, and there was that one time when I was in High school and had moved to Miami, but was back visiting my people in Fremont MI. There was a party at the White House. Mr & Mrs White were out of town, so we had the run of the place.
High school kids are stupid.
Somebody made a beer sandwich by soaking a slice of bread in Schlitz, then putting it between two slices of toast. They took one bit and almost puked. I finished it, and tried to pull a one-upper. Beereal. Honey bunches of oats in beer, with some vodka. I took one bite and almost puked, but Somebody finished it off. I think it was Brandon Youker.
For your reference, the only booze you should ever eat is Jello Shots... and those should only come off somebody's naked body at Spring Break.
we need rico to post on this topic...
Well, I always thought that kid who would eat anything was kind of gross. If I'd had an inner-circle in 3rd grade, he definitely would have been a cast-out. Lucky for him, I was never popular in school.
A guy I used to work with would bring in kippers or sardines all the time and eat them in his cube. Now that was some nasty smelling shite. Ugh! You think tuna smells bad!
Hm, the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is the aussies who brought their devil vegemite. At least it didn't smell. It just looked like post-bender poo. Although I didn't get the chance to try it, b/c they left the country before I had worked up the courage to ask for a bite. I have a sneaking suspicion I would like vegemite (and its british cousin marmite) very much . . . .
WFL? Dunno, but I'm going to Costco to order food for our office holiday luncheon, so maybe a SuperPretzel(tm). Has anyone ever had one of those grody-looking chicken things? It vaguely resembles a burrito, but like with gravy or something. It looks all kinds of awful. Perhaps I'll get one & find myself outcast from polite society.
yo, i've had vegemite/marmite. it made me seriously want to vomit. but i was also really very constipated and crampy at the time, and i was looking for something that would clean me out and my british friend thought it would help for some reason. then, he gave me a giant bowl of wheat-a-bix instead. that didn't help either. new years eve 1999, i was doubled over in pain in every pub throughout old york, england. good times.
Ketchup on eggs. ugh... just the thought of it makes me want to puke. Or ketchup on a hot dog.
Or ketchup on scrambled eggs on a hot dog...blech
Also, blissfully unaware hypocrisy. I was at the BK lounge with my college girlfriend, and she commented on how I shouldn't dip my fries in ketchup cuz there's so much salt in it (ketchup is OK on fries in my book).
Anyways, as she was making the high salt in ketchup comment, she had dumped a pile of salt on her tray and was rolling her fries in the salt.
So I had to make the obvious response: You know what also has lots of salt, SALT!!!!!
Actually, the pickles in blue cheese and wing sauce doesn't sound so bad this morning.
There was a brief period in elementary school when I was a big fan of butter and jelly sandwiches, although that doesn't sound so bad to me right now either. Maybe this hangover has wiped away all of my dining hang-ups.
When I first moved to England, I thought the tendency to put baked beans on everything was pretty weird. Until, of course, I realized that it is the best idea ever.
Oh, going to the deal-breaker on a date idea: if I'm out with a fine-ass honey at a decent seafood joint and she orders a nice piece of fish and then drops the ketchup on it, my coastal Georgia upbringing cannot stand it. Don't get me wrong. I'll still make out with her, but I'm not taking her out for a nice seafood dinner ever again.
And, for lunch today, I think I'm going to have a short day at work. Got in at the crack of 10:30AM, and I figure I can be out of here by 2:00PM. Maybe I'll pick up a Quizno's Salad before I spend the rest of the afternoon on my couch watching Good Will Hunting over and over again.
PS - I renew my promise to myself to not play with Josephus on school nights. Mad shout-out to hatertot for dragging us out to Red & Black AND dragging us all the way back home again! And small shout-out to Barkeep Steve for the shot(s?) of whatever.
Geez, EQ, I'll never put ketchup on my sushi again.
Actually ketchup anywhere near sushi is heresey.
I left my cell phone at home. I feel naked.
Holy crap! The average number of sexual partners by age 44 is 5.4 for men & 3.3 for women!! 1. impossible, either men are exaggerating on average or women are minimizing, and 2. 3.3?????? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!
5.4?
I only have 14 years.
I better get to work...
Just made it in to work.
I blame HT and earthquake.
Very hungry.
PeeP, the culprit was Lady A, and as soon as she did it, I said, 'Yeah, but if they were deep fried..." so on Sunday we're talking about frying up some pickles and seeing what's what.
I am not hungover b/c other than that shot of Powers, earthquake, I had two watered down vodka and sodas over the course of many, many hours last night. However, I am in pain, but that's because the class Lady A encouraged us to attend has me hurtin'. Jesus, I'm sore.
Today I am going to the bank and the grocery store, and for Chicken Madness all the way the fuck over in Georgetown. Because I feel as though I've been beaten by Rocky Balboa, if I don't make the gym, that's okay, so I think I can actually make my errands happen today.
I was but the driver and facilitator of last night's antics. Certainly not one to have fingers pointed at.
Old Rocky or Young Rocky?
Turtle, where are you getting your data?
I took an internet quiz back in 2001 and it told me that based on my data it said that I would only sex up 3 more chicks in my life. My current dish is that #3, so either she's the one, or Ima become a priest.
At any rate, 5.4? That sounds a little low to me, but maybe I'm a manslut. That seems unlikely, so I assume you got your information from Jesus Weekly, or Morman Monthly, or Loser Dork Nerds Sex Exageration Survey.
Glad I missed the emails about yesterday's HH until about 9:45. I worked out instead and went to bed after two pints at 10:15.
On topic.
Deal breaker for me is Vegetarian. Sorry to all you veggies out there, but I can't be through that again.
Off Topic,
But Liz Turtle brought it up. I am only 31, but I have already doubled the average for males. So C'mon bloggers, we're a community here, you can share your score. Ok not score if you're not comfortable with that, but above or below average, or on track to go above or below by age 44.
27 years of age,
144 and counting. That is one gross, but not all of them were gross.
it is turn off to Mitch when girl on date orders more expensive item than I am.
DOUBLE???? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HT, the Chicken Madness is totally awesome.
I would highly suggest calling about 30 minutes before you go as ol' Wisemiller's is usually overrun
202-333-8254
Nice plan, WD. I usually go at really off times so as not to deal with college student madness en route to my Chicken Madness. Thanks for the info. I'm totally going to do that.
And, WD - right after you and the Mrs. left we hit the motherload of free crap with Rocky Balboa t-shirts, cups, pens and free movie passes. All we had to do was let them take our picture. Did we ever find out why?
and by 'slut', I mean slept with more people than me.
HT, they are probably going to include your picture in "Rocky Fans Gone Wild" photoshopping your head on someone's bare-breasted torso . . . unless they convinced you to bare yours . . . .
My cousin is an extra in Rocky Balboa. I am totally going to that movie to see her coming down the escalator in a pink shirt.
mikeysunshine: have I ever told you about the characteristics I have found often held by people who also happen to annoy the ever-living shit out of me? Now, read carefully, folks: I'm not saying that these characteristics are the reason people annoy the ever-living shit out of me; I'm saying that specific people who annoy the ever-living shit out of me tend to have at least one of the following characteristics.
1 - They are vegan.
2 - They have perfect pitch. (I discovered this hanging out with too many music majors in college.)
3 - They are lactose-intolerant.
4 - They are from New Jersey.
5 - They are from California.
I can tolerate a vegetarian for a while, but no woman who is going to be a long-term aspect of my life can be a vegetarian, especially if she's one of those "do I detect beef on your breath?" kind of vegetarians.
I just passed up a trip to Chipotle for lunch. I'm halfway regretting it now. Actually, that's not true. I'm happy about passing up that trip, but I may go there in a bit for a burrito.
And, as long as we're getting all close and community-buildy today, I fall between this dubious average and double this dubious average, although I'm not sure three of them count.
I would expect to be well double this dubious average before I turn 44.
peep: I've never been there, but I went to bartending school with a hot chick whose dad was either the owner or the general manager at Gibson's. (I can't remember which. I was too busy trying to memorize drink recipes and sneak looks at her boobs.)
And, jo: I'm not taking blame for last night. I was shanghaied for that last leg. I thought I was going home.
Geez Peep, that's going to be a tough one for investigators. i don't know which would make me more sick. Eating at an Olive Garden, or being in Indianapolis.
peep, get a bone in ribeye.
I just got an email from a woman who has this as her signature:
"Holiday Eating Tips:
If it comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy.
Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat."
Gibson's Menu
I wanna go.
I have officially named today "Casual (attitude toward work) Friday."
Join me in celebrating, no matter your tradition.
Dude, I'm so in for that C(ATW)F! In fact, we are having an office happy hour (in place of a real holiday party) starting at 3:30. Now the question is, will this buzz go to waste? Or is anyone up for BB? Or did you all blow your wad last night?
My wad was not blown, and what better way to start the weekend than a few G&Ts
But last Friday I ended up completely blastido, and saturday was a complete waste. Count me as leaning towards Yes at BB, but I'll need more support.
Quake?
Inner Monologue, Part 1
Little Angel Earthquake: But, Earthquake, you went on a 13-hour bender yesterday, and you promised yourself this morning that you would go to work late, leave work early, go home, read in bed until you dozed off, then wake up and take a nice hot bubble bath, read some more, and go to bed early and sober so you can think about cleaning your place or doing some Christmas shopping tomorrow.
What time?
If it ain't at 5:15 - 5:30, then I'll have walked home. Ain't no reason to linger downtown.
I may have a movie date tonight, so It would truly be a Happy Hour, not a bender warm up... at least for me.
Where is Peep? Did he go off to cry after I totally bragged yesterday. Oh well, I'm off to get a hot fresh bagle with some salmon or whitefish salad.
Topic: As for the ability of the mouth and mind to eat anything I want? I can take plenty and ask for more... unfortunately the stomach always ends up paying the bills.
Today I'm off until we hit the cruise. I promised Jo I would work on the new site. I'm going to try to fix the one we have and also try another server to test drive both wordPress and moveable type. I should have that done by Monday.
Cheers all.
oh .. I can't post worth crap ... my spiffy microsoft phone doesn't bring up the login piece for blogger ... looks like I'm going to have to look for some software.
No BB for me. I'm tired and I hurt when I breathe.
LT, Mr. Quake.
I am out on HH. I ain't got the gumption for it tonight.
Speaking of eating habits that I just can't wrap my head around, I still can't figure out why anyone in their right mind would want to dip something in mayonnaise and then eat it. Despite starting off with a no-mayonnaise, all-the-time policy position in my younger days, I have come to recognize that mayonnaise has its place in the world. I like my tuna salad with mayonnaise in it. I've even gradually cultivated a tolerance of(if not exactly an appreciation for) mayo on a sandwich. But, ferchrissakes, don't just dip things in mayo and eat it! That's gross.
That having been said, I did sit across the table from someone who ate their fries with mayo just the other day. I've gotten to the point where I can countenance even the most horrifying things in others.
I call it "desensitized."
And, lt, I'm afraid momentum is not building, and I am not the agent of action today. No happy hour for this seismic event.
I do however. love to dip crispity freis in Ranch dressing. It's the goods.
I can't believe we missed the Rocky XXXVVI promotional giveaways.
I heard that in this Rocky movie, Rocky's strategy will be to get punched in the face for 11 rounds, thus wearing out his opponent. In the 12th round he'll use inspirational music and slow-motion action to turn the tables, win the crowd's heart, and get a knock out at the final bell.
Its gonna be totally awesome
Isn't that how Homer won all his boxing bouts?
I can't believe I'm going to get buzzed at work & then have to go home. I'm so depressed. Y'all suck.
Mayo on fries is heaven. But it has to be that good, creamy, euro-style mayo, not Hellman's. The best mayo on fries in the world is in a fritteria in Amsterdam. Mmmmmmmm.
That's not Mayo LT, That's white Hash Paste.
That's why I love it so!
My mind read that as "white ass paste"
After a day and half of planning, I have finally procured my Chicken Madness. Divine. I think it took me 2.3 seconds to inhale the entire thing.
Sorry, LT. I'm in for the night now, most likely. I can hear my couch softly calling my name, "HattttteeeerrrrrTTTToooottt... come sit on meeeeee....Come here little toooottt... take a nap.... watch a movie....."
In all seriousness, I do need to hit the grocery too, but I might be able to postpone that another day.
"The Scheduling Adventures of Hatertot" should be a regular blog feature.
Jo, you should have seen me this morning, planning, listing, pros, cons, scheduled an hour to watch The OC... you'd have been a proud Uncle Jo.
sunshine, i have perfect pitch and i'm from california.
does that mean you have hate for la choi?
Dude, lachoi, that was EQ with the hatred for perfect pitch. I hate people like you, too, but only b/c I am jealous b/c I sing like a bullfrog.
I am a little tipsy. Luckily it won't go totally to waste, b/c coworkers are going to 4 Courts. Wooooo.
