I dont eat anything thats good for me basically.  Almost no fruits or veggies.  I really can't stand lettuce, tomato, and onion.  I'm a meat and potatoes kinda guy!

You should a little bit of liver on an ABT!! Jalapeño, cream cheese, cilantro, chicken liver all wrapped up in bacon. Pure Awesomeness. Oh and Swamp Venom mixed in the cheese.

Veal, for purely philosophical reasons. I've seen how it is raised and I don't like the confinement treatment.

That's only white or provimi veal. Red veal calves run around.

No internal organs, raw fish, or onions.

Mayonnaise out of a jar and organs (except for beef bone marrow if you consider that an organ.  I don't, I consider it awesomeness). 

Nah, it's a tissue. But it is awesome. It's where hematopoiesis happens.

I don't know what that is but it sounds like something you'd catch in an Austin hipster bar... While drinking a PBR.

That's less than 5% of the market in the US and incredibly hard to find. Probably the only way I'd eat it.

so do the red veals taste as good as the white and provimi

I like red better, way more flavour. Gotta tenderise some cuts. Harder to find white here than red.

I've never seen it in a store. Only way I can find online is individual farmers.

If it didn't occur, you'd die from most things you catch in that hipster bar. Like bearded syphilis.

It's not hard to find white here but there is always red around. I know it's cruel treatment but what would be the option for male dairy cattle that aren't breeding stock?

They are immediately put down rather than exposed to what some consider cruel and inhumane.

Jello-always thought of it as "eating air" so I have avoided it even as adult "shots".

Cottage cheese. No way

Jello shooters, maybe. Otherwise, I agree.

Liver, cottage cheese (What is that stuff anyways), yogurt (sour junk IMO), Green beans are borderline,

Aviator

Frog legs. Yuk!

I love liver, my wife calls it my little treat before dinner when I snatch a chicken and throw the liver on with some dizzy pig. 

SO TASTY!

One of my favorites is if I had a hard day of consuming alcoholic beverages I will get fried chicken livers the next day. It replenishes my liver and I'm a new person.

Now Tripe is something I will not get near

Which DP rub do you like on liver?

Not a big liver fan, but thinking dizzy gourmet cosmic cow or simply zensational.

For foods to avoid, I draw the line at the digestive system. Anything that is used to digest food, I don't want to have to digest.

Love this conversation. Cool to hear the different foods people avoid. Some people won't eat mushrooms but it is one of my favorite things to eat. 

I am very much game for eating bugs. But not had a confident chef prepare them for me yet.

I always ask any dinner guests ahead of time about dislikes and allergies before they come over. The usual suspects are easy to manage to, but when it's something really pedestrian (basic staple veggies usually), then one must get creative...or just grill a chicken breast for them and call it a day.

Okra? You need to eat it fried. @Aviator.. Frog legs are awesome. I can't think of anything I wouldn't try. I hated turnip greens as a kid... Now I love them.

Water chestnuts don't like me. Cauliflower turns me into a WMD. I'm not sure a gas mask would save you!

Liver is the only thing that comes up faster than it goes down.

Liver, pigs feet, mountain oysters, chitlins( how ever you spell it)
