Food Disgust Test

Came across this simple test via another cooking forum:
***
Only takes a few minutes.
My results:
Apparently bendy cucumbers trigger me. Otherwise pretty chill.

Food Disgust Test
Christina Hartmann and Michael Siegrist at the Technical University of Zurich have discovered that people’s disgust concerning food can be broken into eight distinct scales. The factors that determine why people differ on the various triggers for food disgust are not well understood, but the authors hope their instrument will contribute to a greater mapping-out of individual differences in this regard.***
Only takes a few minutes.

Is this why you never post food pics? Food disgusts you so. 😉

Yep. Every meal, every day...
Doesn't make for an interesting pix (I guess I could lay a dirty fork beside a bottle to stoke some emotional responses from some here).“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
Got a 10.25%.
Probably from years of working in restaurants. I'll eat most anything put in front of me. -
20.8%, if hygiene and human contamination are in check I'll apparently eat anything.

Huh. I thought I pickier. Mold on marmalade was main thing that bothered me. Just because mold on soft items has tendrils that go well below the surface.
I once ate carna asada cooked on a trash can lid on a random street in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. Stumbled on a neighborhood hood party and they invited us all. My wife and I ate there and had a blast. The rest of the group went to a restaurant and was sick the next day. Wife and I were fine.

Ended at 22.8. Wasn’t sure how to address a couple of questions; like the hair in soup. At a restaurant it might give me pause because it could hint at other, more difficult to see/verify issues with cleanliness or food safety in the kitchen. At home I can base on the length whether it is mine, from SWMBO or SWMBO Jr; I know everyone’s hygiene, how we’ve cleaned, that we’ve kept things at appropriate temps, etc. There I just pull it out and wipe it on my napkin and move on.

I'll cut away mold from any hard cheese and eat the rest, but marmalade, condiments, nope.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

I leave the jar of marmalade out on the counter, never seen mold in it. Is it orange mold.....maple syrup mold is different, edible, doesn't look good on a pancake but glazed on a ham who caresfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

I feel that question in the test needed to be more specific... Pass if the hair in question may be a pube.Acn said:Ended at 22.8.

36.13 here- I hardly eat any fruits or vegetables so I was ambivalent on several questions. Not a fan of worms or bugs either. Good fun though.

You can get worms eating fish with worms. Is that some kind of phobia.....wormy apples no, fermented apples though....lousubcap said:36.13 here- I hardly eat any fruits or vegetables so I was ambivalent on several questions.

Funny though, I am not squeamish about food, but at home I am obsessively clean when cooking. Very cautious about cross contamination, hyper vigilant about cook times/temps, wear latex gloves when prepping food for guests.
I am fine taking risks myself, but do not want anyone getting sick or have a bad experiences eating food I prepared.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

I'm pretty much just like you at home when I'm handling chicken and fish...but not beef!!! Kinda weird, huh???Ozzie_Isaac said:Funny though, I am not squeamish about food, but at home I am obsessively clean when cooking.

OTOH if I even had one clue what R E A L L Y went on in a DECENT restaurant kitchen I'd probably go friggen N U T S O!!!
Just last week I went up to the counter at a WENDY'S and as soon as I saw the FILTHY floor behind I just turned around and left!!! (And I happen to LOVE WENDY'S!!!!)
And DON'T even read the rest of this if you are a bit squeamish...
The last time I went into a Long John Silver's as I stood there to order then a frggen cockroach ran right across the counter between me and the clerk and we both watched it and the clerk asked "What would you like?" ! I just turned around and walked out and never returned there! That was probably 25 years ago and that business is still open!!! What if the current patrons even had a clue!!!Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time -
The pesticides to keep roaches at bay are worse for your health than seeing a cockroach in the kitchen, but we don’t think that way because you can see the roaches and the pesticides are invisible.______________________________________________I love lamp..

I hear you, but that thing just walked slowly half way between us, stopped midway and did 3 push ups, gave me the finger and then strolled off...nolaegghead said:The pesticides to keep roaches at bay are worse for your health than seeing a cockroach in the kitchen, but we don’t think that way because you can see the roaches and the pesticides are invisible.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time -
You are all a bunch of chumps. I got 62%. The goal is to have the highest score right?!?!?

Ron, you'll eat at a Long John Silver's but you call the food in the pic on the banner slop that you wouldn't eat. Do I have that right?RRP said:

More about hygiene for me, although I have to admit, there are some hunks of meat that seem just a little too close to living when raw: I'm thinking especially of leg of lamb or pork shoulder. Sometimes I look at them and think "Oh g*d, that could be my leg".
I still like eating them, of course.Bob
