    Probably the only thing I wouldn't eat is what those 2 girls had in that 1 cup. I'm cool with whatever else.

    I can't stand liver (beef or chicken)
    I won't try brains
    Rattlesnake & alligator are good, yum yum
    I don't like chicken or turkey breast meat, love the dark meat though.
    I had wild boar, toughest driest piece of meat I ever ate, don't know if it is always that bad, but that's how it was from the restaurant in Finland when I was there.
    The rabbit I had a Keesler AFB tasted like JP4.
    I love most Korean food, don't care for Indian food.
    I love dried squid.
    Escargot is pretty tasty.
    I would like to try frog legs sometime, I really should have ordered them when I had the chance a few years ago in Montreal.
    I love most seafood with the exception of mussels and oysters.
    I don't like raw fish, I prefer my fish cooked, so no sashimi

    Liver, s(crap)le, and any animal organs.

    Scrapple, what's wrong with sausage, cornmeal, and spices??? Sorry, scrapple is my favorite breakfast meat. I wonder how a whole loaf smoked would turn out...
    It has the word crap ln it and a friend of SWMBO invited us to breakfast and the crap was moldy rotten green and blue. Went to Ihop.

    I won't eat anything that I know came from China or any farmed seafood. Eating out is the exception to those rules since it's harder to know. All my friends let me choose the restaurant because I'm so picky.

    I have never had scapple. What about Souse Meat? My grandmother fed that to me when I was young. If I had known what it was I would have never eaten it.

    Liver is awesome!!! Especially chicken. Calves liver too, but chicken is the best. Yum!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    The purines in animal organs increases uric acid, and can lead to gout attacks/inflammation and kidney stones. Now add to that alcohol intake. No thanks!

    No, those are made of chicken lips so I'm ok. :D
    I should clarify that a natural sausage casing is ok in my book.

    I know some people in my area that make an intestine soup.  NO THANK YOU!

    I also have a distaste for sauerkraut.  When my wife and I first started looking for houses we found a beautiful older home that was well taken care of, great lawn, spacious...Till I went in the basement and the owner had crocks of kraut fermenting.  I was out of there.  Deal breaker.  Still can't drive by that house without the memory gagging me.

    Love liver, fried chicken livers is awesome.

    Artichoke hearts I still don't know what animal they are from and they scare me.

    I'm kidding on the artichokes made them years ago for a friend of mine from Wyoming and he told me he didn't know what animal they were from so he wouldn't eat them.

    I won't eat tripe or menudo or anything along that route.

    I will eat almost anything, but hate raw tomatoes and cantaloupe. Will take a plate of chitlins or liver over those any day.

    Liver is hard to cook, but consider liverwurst and braunschweiger

    Brains, doesn't appeal to me, but talked to a fellow last weekend who said they were OK in a sammich.

    Wild boar can be excellent, I suppose some require careful cooking.

    Rabbit is usually very mild and sweet.

    There are 32 major styles for Indian cooking. Most have lots of different spices. Some use a salt that has sulfur in it. And there's some stuff called asafoetida that is often used. Might want to look carefully at different dishes to avoid those.

    BTW, I understand Korean cuisine prizes dog.

    Haven't had squid, but have some octopus in the freezer. I suspect freshness and prep is very important.

    Frog legs vary. Some taste fishy. Had some last weekend that were delightful. Tender and mild. Quite small, too bad, would have liked more.

    From what I understand, if oysters aren't fresh, don't bother. But a friend did admit they could be a little, umm, mucousy. Suggested starting with small ones that were about a half bite size.

    Get some fresh, really fresh salmon or steel head trout, or arctic char. Make some fish tartare. May change your mind.

    I'll try most things at least once, but no way to the following: Balut, pig uterus, penises of any kind, dog, cat, raccoon, road kill of any kind, fugu, rodents of any kind, dog food, cat food, ants, cockroaches and AZZ (no matter how attractive)! I know I'm just picky that way!

    Won't eat most internal organs if they look or taste like internal organs.  Grind it up and stuff it in a sausage casing, fine, just don't tell me.  SWMBO grew up in a Pennsylvania family and they would fight over the internal organs.  I will make her turkey giblet gravy for Thxgiving but I chop it up pretty fine so you can't really tell which organ it is.  I'll have some of that.

    There aren't a lot of things that I won't eat out of disgust (tried frog legs recently, wasn't a big fan), but more importantly there are definitely some things where I have to take a stand on principle.

    I ran to Dunkin Donuts this morning to pick up breakfast for our family and my wife had me get her a cookie dough flavored iced coffee with cream.  I whispered the request to the clerk as if I was purchasing some particularly unusual type of pornography.  Seriously, when the hell did coffee turn into "breakfast milkshakes"?

    What I alluded to not being willing to try while in China was packaged penis, I can't remember from what animal.
     
    I took a chinese cooking class back in North Dakota.  The immigrant lady who taught it passed around several of her cookbooks from "home", and one recipe was for deer penis medallions.  
     
    I couldn't eat a whole eyeball, especially after accidently watching the first 19 minutes of a CSI episode last weekend; nor any kind of a spider.  Other than that...

    I just had the opportunity to try Balut here in Saigon. After seeing one up close and personal, that's now on my list of things I will not eat. [-(
    The others: organs and mayo from a jar.

    Balut is the most disgusting thing to eat I've ever seen! There are quite a few things on my earlier list I would eat before Balut!
