Foods the world would be better without

[Trufflehound]

Far too many fussy eaters around

With half the people on here apparently eschewing vegetables of any description, fussy eaters with hemorrhoids wouldn't surprise me...

 

[yxee]

Cucumbers.

 

[Notters]

Tripe.

Please tell me you don't enjoy tripe.

Actually, I'll admit that I've not had tripe. But I love haggis, does that not have tripe in it?

I don't like coriander at all, but I believe that's a genetic thing.

 

[Superphil]

Rhubarb and Parsnips, totally unnecessary.

Oh, and fruit used in main courses, FFS fruit is a pudding food, it should never be included in salads, tagines, stews, curries. You wouldn't put meat in an apple tart, so why do people slather delicious pork with stewed apples?

No, Haggis contains GOOD stuff like LUNGS.

I've always said I will eat anything once, I can quite honestly say that of all the different things I've eaten Tripe is the only thing I will never eat again.

Vile stuff, even now the smell of it makes me feel quite sick.

I love haggis.......but tripe is horrendous

 

[Mattywerewolf]

Tinned haggis is probably the worst eating experience i have ever had. Honestly wouldn't even compare to cat food....

Mrs Wolf was less than impressed with my special gift home from Scotland.....

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Liver the texture is just vile, never had tripe & judging by the comments on here never will

I don't believe haggis has tripe in it. It's the heart, liver and lungs (the pluck) of a lamb/sheep. And it is delicious.

Cucumbers - terrible stuff

Cucumbers.

The best way to RUIN a sandwich. Even when you take them out the sandwich STILL tastes of cucumber.

 

[knocky1]

Genetically modified soya beans grown as animal feed for the world's meat industry. These huge tracts of land could be kept as forests or used to grow beetroot, celery, swede, etc.

Have to stand up for celery, Finely chopped with carrots and onion (so it melts away) you can't do pasta sauces, Agree on Kidney beans awful things, when there are much better beans available.

So do I. Part of the base of many meals along with carrot and onion. Also, nice raw and dipped in salt.

 

[Justice]

That shite northerners like curry sauce, looks like green runny diahorrea.

 

[Hillian1]

Thinking about it, Chickens Feet is something the world could do without.

Tried them a few years back in a Soho Restaurant, not that they tasted bad but gnawing away at them for very little return was UTTERLY pointless.

Olives

Celery isnt a proper food, it takes more energy to eat than they contain, so should it be included? as a herb at most. Kidney beans are toxic with out cooking twice, so they seem to be pretty stupid food too.

That is actually a myth.

Celery on average contains 10 calories per stick, it takes 2 calories for the human digestive to break it down, therefore each stick delivers 8.

And it's bloody superb dunked in Hummus.

Even better when used in a juicer. Goes brilliant with Apple, Orange, Mint and ginger.

Sweetcorn. Okay as corn on the cob with butter, but why add it to soup, sandwiches, anything really?

Tuna mayo sarnie with sweetcorn, adds a bit of crunch. Works for me.

Cucumber however - as mentioned by someone earlier, it utterly ruins EVERYTHING it comes into contact with. I make it my business not to be in the same ROOM as a sliced cucumber. Just the smell of it turns my stomach.

I made the mistake of buying a tuna sandwich from a service station once, not realising it had cucumber in it. I was absolutely hank MARVIN though, and made the disastrous decision to attempt to salvage the situation by ejecting the offensive green slices out of the car window. One bite later and the rest of the sandwich, along with the semi-chewed mouthful, was winging its way onto the M40 as well. I spent the next few miles ploughing through an entire tub of freshmints in an attempt to expunge the utterly rancid flavour from my mouth, whilst desperately battling to keep my breakfast down.

I still wake screaming in the night, thinking of that day. I would rather catch malaria than have that taste assault my senses again.
