Food that makes people around you shudder - Savor the flavor

[vertexwindi]

I really like spicy foods so I guess it's that. I cooked a nice curry once for some blokes who thought it was too spicy, so next time I made it I poured in more milk and less spice into the sauce and they still thought it was a bit too much. Shrug.

We cook so much indian food that apparently the house permanently smells of spices. We can't tell.

Kimchi is good too, though we got it wrong the first time 'cause the jar wasn't sealed right.

I used to gross my mom out by eating tomatoes and sucking the juice out of it.

well yeah a tomato is 99% water, i'm imagining the sound right now and it sounds like--

 

[thejackal]

the starkist chunk tuna with relish "lunch packs" that nobody ever fucking buys so they are always on sale for $1.99. even starkist is mildly embarrassed for you so they include a mint.

It sounded like slurping juice in a loud way.

Andouillette is great. I don't get why people think it smells like urine

When you go into a small grocery store or liquor store in Baltimore....you'll find chicken feet or cow's tongue in a jar of yellow liquid on the counter.

It's a black thing.

That's funny. I was just watching that movie.

these bad boys

i am convinced people are just averted to the bitter taste because they were spoiled as children, these both make an amazing side and main dish

There's nothing nicer than sprouts with some gravy and pieces of bacon.

Lamb hearts; delightful when stuffed and braised, but the look of the raw heart freaks some people out. Raw oysters, as mentioned up thread, even though they were once a staple of the poor in London. Jellied eels. Crab (if seen scuttling around before despatching and cooking)

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

Gonna agree on the brussels sprouts, roast them shits up in the oven with a little olive oil and salt, so you get a little char on the edges. Good stuff. Just boiled they're boring though. I guess I feel pretty much the same way about broccoli, although raw is also ok.

My gross food is canned corned beef hash. You know the stuff, sort of a pinkish goo with little tiny cubes of potato, smells like dog food? I love that shit, fried up.

apparently anyone that has seen me eat plain greek yogurt out of the cup has always asked what was wrong with me??? doesn't seem too outlandish to me but this is the only thing I can think of that has elicited a negative response.

Beef jerky. Not cause it's bad, but because the good kind can stink up a room for days.

 

[Degenerated]

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs.

Jelly and cheese together.

Spoiler: Kimchi Recipes

Cucumber (Oi) kimchi is probably the most "easy" compared to normal.

3-4 Lebanese Cucumbers (or any pickling cucumber)
1.5 Tablespoons of Sea Salt
Handful of shredded carrots
Handful of Buchu (Korean Garlic Chives)

Kimchi Spice Sauce
1-3 Tablespoons of Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes, depending on how spicy you like it)
1 Nashi pear or Red Apple grated
1 Tablespoon of Honey or Raw Sugar
3-4 Garlic Cloves chopped finely or grated
1 tsp of grated ginger
1 tablespoon of Fish sauce
1 tsp of Soy Sauce

Cut cucumbers into bitesized pieces, about 4 cms long. Toss them in the sea salt, leave for 20 mins.
Brush off or lightly wash salt from cucumbers. Put into bowl with sauce and carrots/Buchu, mix well.
Put in a glass airtight container, leave on bench for 1-2 days to ferment, put in fridge, chill and serve.

White Kimchi is a bit more involved. You typically do whole napa leaves, put the filling in them and roll them up.
You can do it a quick way though and just toss everything in in a normal "quick" kimchi way.

https://mykoreankitchen.com/baek-kimchi-non-spicy-white-kimchi/ But I add about a handful of chopped chestnuts and about a tablespoon of pinenuts to that. Probably sub the red capsicum with a yellow one. You can also use apple instead of Nashi Pear.

If you don't want to do the wrapping/stuffing, then just toss it all in and pour the brine over. It's a light refreshing kimchi, salty and sweet, but has a really nice flavour. I also use it to make okonomiyaki if I don't have fresh cabbage. It really works perfectly like that.

Yup, there are innumerable varieties of kimchi. About the only kimchi I could handle in Korea was the water kimchi, very lightly spiced. Haven't had kimchi in many years. Can't eat anything spicy.

One thing I like to eat that appalls my wife is Cheetos. Most days I have some of the crunchy Cheetos, and I'll have a chocolate bar. Wife says I eat like a little kid. Sure do. While I grudgingly acknowledge the passage of time, I shall never acknowledge growing old. Fuck that.

 

[AnOminous]

Limburger cheese. Delicious but smells terrible.

Here's one way to eat it:

Natto. This is legit disgusting to lots of people and takes some getting used to, but has definite merit.

Some people have also complained when I make things with lots of garlic in them, or blackened fish/chicken of various kinds that generates lots of acrid smoke.

Vietnamese or Thai fish sauce.

One of the nastier things I've seen online that wasn't something like the Africans preforming cunnilingus on cattle rectums.
