What food or beverages you like most people would consider disgusting?
Durian
Chink shit
AKA fermented tofu, shrimp paste, century egg etc
The most peculiar acquired taste I've ever come across is pic related.
pickled herring
>>7856740
Hearts and lungs
>>7856740
Blood sausage. Like, genuine blood sausage not that blood pudding you eat in bongland.
Cilantro
>>7856740
Fernet
Chinchulines
Morcilla
Mondongo
Beef tongue
Holodets(meat aspic)
Pickled/salted/cured/raw fish
Salo(cured pig fatback)
Sauerkraut
And probably more stuff I am not aware it's disgusting for normies.
>>7856770
What is it? looks like those finnish salmiak things
I sure do like brain, liverwurst, and blood sausage amongst other offal foods.
I'm sure I could find more but that's all I have now.
Black pudding
Sweetbreads
Tripe
Most offal and some exotic meat, crocodile, kangaroo and ostrich.
Ostrich steaks are the shit, really recommend you try them if you can get hold of some.
>>7856797
Lengua is not really all that strange most people would be fine eating it, especially if they didn't know what it was specifically.
>>7856835
That would probably also be the case for beef tongue, but people aren't exactly lining up to eat it.
It tastes like any beef roast if prepared well.
>>7856819

I'm legitimely surprised that a lot of people do not like this
>>7856846
kill yourself
I have not yet met another person that likes bloody marys.
>>7857029
right here senpai
I have to limit myself to a small one, and usually with a burger in the late afternoon
>>7856834
Those aren't acquired tastes though. Just stuff you wouldn't normally eat, but if if you give it a go you'd probably like it.
>>7856740
My Chinese grandma makes a soup that I love but I've never met a lo fan that likes it or can even bear the smell.
>>7856740
tonic water
Kombucha and pu erh were both pretty acquired tastes for me, though now I like them both.
Semen
Black Coffee
Lambic raspberry beer or some such
>>7856780

What the fuck are you talking about?
I get that shit every weekend from the organic market. It's fucking delicious.
Please don't tell me you're American, that would be so stereotypical

>>7856770
Dude are you like 105? I thought they stopped making these during the Great Depression.
>>7858426
Not him, but I'm 38 and I used to get those all the time in the late 90s/early 2000s when I was a heavy smoker. Not that I actually thought they cured smoker breath, but it was kind of my fedora phase, to use the modern lingo.
Any good tobacco shop should carry them
>>7856797

i'm surprised by how many people hate these

Been eating natto since I was a child. People are put off by it's smell and texture but I've personally never noticed it's bad smell if there is one. The texture can make natto annoying to eat, trying to contain the strings, but the texture itself isn't off-putting.

Fucking old Asian grandmas. My Vietnamese grandma does the same thing.
The eyes of most fish cooked over coals
Smoked cow tongue
Just about anything fish really, fermented, sundried, curried, you name i'll eat it
Pofadder (various offal ground into a fatty sausage of goodness, cooked over coals,
Skilpaitjies (sheep/buck kidneys wrapped in the fat from some other organ, also cooked over coals)
Prawn heads
The entire apple
Jägermeister and coke
Zouty drops (Hades tier liqourice)

A lot of people don't like black licorice but idk why shits delicious
>>7859433
The more backstreet the surgeon was, the more interesting the scents and textures become, and once they mature after a few years, the bolder and more pungent the sensations get. Its like a good cheese, a good, ripe, borderline palatable cheese.
The best import brands are turkish and japanese, imho, but you can always keep it safe and get a taiwanese 2nd hand, never let me down in a pinch of cravings.
Otherwise, if you're androintolerant you could get a circumsized subsaharan, ive found they all have their unique flavour profiles, some less enjoyable than others, but they serve as an excellent analogue for that fermented turkey gizzard texture i love so much about anthrocrotchnotch
Dutch licorice.
I can't eat the stuff, too salty.
>>7859559
You mean salmiak. It's not salt flavour it's ammonium chloride that gives the taste.
Uh, I guess in Poland a lot of kids don't like, and then grow up to like:
herring
olives
brussel sprouts
spinach (mostly because it's served as a disgusting goopy mess with no flavour in kindergardens)
blood sausages
blood soup
coffee and beer, and vodka I guess, though I don't think people actually like the taste of vodka even when grown up
blue cheese
it's not a rule though, obviously. I know kids who loved olives forever, but most of my friends found them off-putting when they were kids and then tried them when they were adults and loved them.
>>7856740
Since when did idiots think "acquired taste" meant "thinks I like that most people don't"?
Look up the definition of "acquired"
Idiot
>>7859576
It's salt, just not sodium chloride.
A different type of salt.
Cow tongue that shit is nasty
>>7859596
:)
>>7859604
Ammonium chloride is a salt.

Fucking salty liquorice aka "drop(s)"
I don't understand how the dutch can eat this stuff
I've tried at least 4 different kinds of it and they're all horrible
>>7859634
Nvm, read the OP more carefully. Thought it was a general "acquired taste" thread
>>7859416

>refers to an appreciation for a food or beverage that is unlikely to be enjoyed by a person who has not had substantial exposure to it, usually because of some unfamiliar aspect of the food or beverage, including a strong or strange odor, taste, or appearance.
>>7859727
that's completely different from "I like bloody maries but a lot of people I know do not"
>>7859634
Salmiak is awesome.
Also, raw liquorice drops.
>>7856740
Vegemite
>>7860002
Speaking of salmiak and liquorice, anyone else gotten liquorice poisoning here? I've gotten it 3 times so far. Discount liquorice is literally my cryptonite.
Black pudding, Marmite and Worcester Sauce are all things I heartily enjoy often.
As a Brit, I've noticed our food preferences (especially snacks) seem to favour salty/savoury foods over sugary sweet ones when compared to Americans, we really seem to have that penchant for glutamates.
Pickled Onions
Yeast Extract
Pork Scratchings
Meaty beer
The list goes on, maybe it's our shit climate that draws us to strong tasting food
>>7858183
shit's delicious m8
>>7860021

>wiki it
>exactly like mint tabu, but not regular one
>'oh well, mint one's still pretty good'
>it's still in production
Holy fuck, thanks for mentioning this!
Tabu was one of my favourite confectionaries as a kid and pure licorice is so fucking rare outside of Italy. I'm happy to know that there's a brand of pure licorice manufactured and sold in the US. I'm gonna go looking for Vigroids now.
>>7860023
yes lad, you just reminded me I've got some twiglets in the cupboard. cheers m8.
I think it could be the climate as well, Look at spains cuisine, rich but balanced flavours, lots of sweetness and sharp acids with seafood. Refreshing and quite clean tasting.
Same with Italy, fresh herbs, acidic tomato and wine. Even the fat is mostly in the form of fragrant and light olive oil.
Then British cuisine, an emphasis on meat, rich earthy warm spices like nutmeg and clove. Old pudding recipes Carbs are almost as much of a centrepiece as the meat with Yorkshire puddings, pies, goosefat roasted potatoes. Its food to keep you warm and make you feel full as quick as possible. Stops the miserable weather getting to you.
>>7860045
It's high quality liquorice, just on special offers every holiday. I'm a weak willed faggot, k :)
>>7856797
Why do you consider fernet an acquired taste? I've always thought it tasted genuinely good.
Maybe it's because where I'm from it's the most commoner drink.
>>7858433
Sen sen is no longer made.
>>7858426
I bought some from a drug store as recently as 1999ish. But yes, very old timey to be sure.
>>7858422
Fuck. Yes. So good! There's a little mexican joint in Joliet that makes the best menudo I've ever had. I drive out of my way and through the hood just to eat there.
>>7857047
I think there's a restaurant in Montreal that serves bloody marys with a slider skewered across the glass.
My friends and I refer to the idea as burger cocks.
Most people I've introduced to scrapple can't get past the consistency (especially if not cooked/fried hard) or the contents. I grew up eating and love it, however.
>>7860433
>fried hard
Black Philly native? I never hear anyone say that but black Philly natives and those associated with them, like Ricans and SWAN girls.
Dog food. you fucking normies can't even get on my level
>>7860616
No. I grew upside Reading, PA in a very traditional Pennsylvania German family. Most of my family members liked their scrapple cooked until it was crunchy.
>>7860433
but scrapple tastes great. people only stop liking it when they find out what's in it.
>>7860896
I'm not arguing with you there. But if someone knows what is in scrapple prior to consuming it, they are much less likely to eat it.
>>7859467
Sounds like an excerpt from naked lunch
>>7860110
I guess because every foreigner I have tried to introduce fernet said to me it was disgusting, like some sour medicine.
btw how do you drink it? Here in Argentina we mix it with cola.
Sen-sens are the greatest thing ever made
When they announced they were going out of business I bought 200$ worth and still have some
gonna save some til I'm on my deathbed honestly
one day if I'm rich and famous I'll start production up again
aside from that I like very bitter things in general, always keep some baking grade 95%+ chocolate at my desk to nibble on
Oysters and mussels. Can't stand their texture, smell or taste.
>>7860985
almost bought a bottle to try yesterday but went with campari instead. if its sour ill try it next time im at the store
>>7856740
I wouldn't call it acquired taste but:
Mint chip chocolate ice cream.
Horchata (the Spanish one, I don't know what the latin horchatas are even made of)
>>7860996
I's sour and bitter have a very strong herbal taste(strogner than jagger) and a very far woody taste. Would never recommend to blind buy it if you never tried it before. Try it first at some bar.
>>7856740
avgolemono soup my yiayia makes. It tastes great and cheap as shit but all the non wog friends who tried it were put off.
Also lamb liver wrapped in sheets of fat and grilled on an open flame. Although I guess that's more a consequence of me living in a shitty country like Australia that is afraid to eat anything besides muscle meat. It would probably be a fairly standard dish in most places.
>>7859467

Khlav khalash, with crab juice. Or mountain dew.

ginger, the taste of that stuff makes me feel like im suffocating
>>7861595
i fell in love with heart meat the first time i tried it. i ate about half of a deer heart raw up in the smoky mountains, seared but not cooked because it was still warm. looking to do it again but unfortunately i don't hunt myself.

Mustard.
Many people like it but for very many it's an acquired taste.
>>7856931
Where do you live that they don't like this? Strange place.
>>7862104
You know, I've never tried to drink it, actually. I use it in a lot of recipes, but I have no idea what it tastes like.
>>7856740
Pickle juice.
Salted milk.
>>7862109
Neither have I go be honest. My Mrs says she hates it but I secretly put it in everything and she loves it. If feeling really lazy I make savoury mince and smother it with the stuff.
For me, this is the ultimate comfort food
When I was young I would eat them with everything. I remember being taken to a steakhouse when I was 17 and refusing to eat the steak because I wanted Turkey Dinosaurs. My mother had to leave the restaurant, go to Tesco, buy some Turkey Dinosaurs and have the staff cook a couple of them. Then I put them onto my steak and pretended that it was just a dinosaur who was very fat!
I loved other dishes with them as well, for example, turkey dinosaurs and beans on toast or turkey dinosaur sandwiches. Sometimes I will just take some simple hot sauce, dip the top of the turkey dinosaur in hot sauce, then take some nutella and spread it onto the turkey dinosaurs feet. I like to pretend that the dinosaur had a volcano erupt onto his head and tried to escape but ran into a tar pit! I call it 'the eatstinction event'. Yum.
>>7862120
How many GBP did the dinosaurs in restuarant cost you?
>>7862124
They're frozen tendies, I'm sure it's only a couple dollars.
>>7862130
Not dollars friend, GBP. Good boy points.
>>7862120
>I was 17 and refusing to eat the steak because I wanted Turkey Dinosaurs
wew
Have you cured your autism since then?
>>7860023
The thing about you Brits is that you're never far away from processed snacks and sandwiches in general. Anywhere I go there's bound to be dispensers for crisps or Cadbury bars, and people munching on said foods at any given moment. I can only hypothesise it might be because of your cultural practice for tea between meals.
>>7862120
Honest question; have you been formally diagnosed with autism? I'm not trying to belittle you, I'm just genuinely curious about your fixation with this particular food as a studier of clinical psychology.
>>7856766
Pretty much this. Stinky tofu on the otherhand.

I have aspergers syndrome- Yes- But that wouldn't be the reason I enjoy turkey dinosaurs.
>>7862084
>pineapple pizza
Still can't handle
>>7862317
It is basically a 100% correlation. I'm actually an autism doctor, and in my PhD studies I found that 100% of people over the age of 13 who are obsessed with food made into shapes (whether specific or generic), are on the autism spectrum.
>>7862341
A preference for food cut into shapes does not correlate to autism and I actually take great issue with your claim. I do not enjoy Turkey Dinosaurs because I have aspergers syndrome. I like them
1. For the taste. Turkey meat that has been cut into a dinosaur shape is the leanest cut of the Turkey. Fatty or undesirable turkey meat cannot be shaped so the dinosaurs would not look biologically accurate. Therefore a higher meat standard is virtually confirmed.
2. For the texture. The breadcrumbs give an excellent texture. Most breaded meat is too thick but Turkey Dinosaurs are thin and allow the breadcrumbs to shine along with the meat.
3. For the ready made dipping portions. When I eat regular meat I struggle to decide how many bites I am going to eat. With Turkey Dinosaurs I can say 'Head, foot, arm, tail, Belly, Spine, Chest' and it is broken down for me which ensures eating is simpler.
4. It can be fun because I have a great love of dinosaurs to try and incorporate new dino-discoveries into my meals. For example, adding 'feathers' to the turkey dinosaurs in the shape of lettuce leaves and dried cranberries. Or pretending the T-Rex is a Majungasaurus, otherwise known as the cannibal dinosaur, by sticking the head of one T-Rex into the belly of another T-Rex and pretending that it is a Turkey Majungasaurus who ate their friend
This is all valid. They also season well.
>>7860985
I'm from Argentina too, so with Coca Cola is a must, any other cola is disgusting. Sometimes I drink it with just ice.

I love roquefort, but for me is allways has too much salt, is the gorgonzola the same how different is from roquefort?

Olives. I fucking love Olives. I buy canned 300ml black olives and put them in a bowl and eat them. Everyone is disgusted by it, but I love em.
>>7863142
I understand people thinking black olives are a little bland if they're used to kalamatas, but I've never understood people who outright say they hate olives in general.
They are delicious and have one of the most unoffensive flavors of anything. Bunch of picky eaters coming up with irrational reasons for not trying new things as kids I suppose.
>>7863059
A lot of people boil them instead of roasting them.
Roasted brussel sprouts are fantastic.

Anchovies and olives
>>7867090
Snails are just vehicles for butter and garlic anyway.
>>7859348
Ayy lmao I love those.
Sometimes my family members drink them with mi lk though
I think nothing is an acquired taste if it's introduced when you're a kid though. When you're older maybe it's a different story.
Things I learned to like:
Tomatoes
Olives
Green vegetables like haricot verts
Cilantro/coriander
Wine
Things I liked since birth:
Licorice/salmiak
Pickled herring
Blood sausage
Fish roe spread
I'm Swedish.
>>7863521
Babbys first acquired taste desu
>>7867286
>>7856740
Black pudding. It's pig blood sausage mixed with spices and oeatmeal.
It's super tasty.
Also haggis. It's not even allowed in the USA as it contains lung meat. It's forbidden by FDA.
I tried kefir for the first time a few days ago, from a local Turkish shop. I liked it, but I sort of had to remind myself that it's meant to taste as it did. Texture of lumpy, gone-off milk, and the fermentation gives it a strange fizz that you don't expect from dairy.
I can certainly imagine people being put off, but I'll be getting more.
>>7865706
I hate the texture tbqh
>>7868404
Some manufacturers started making lung-free haggis for export to the USA.
>>7865877
For the sake of your consistancy I hope you don't smoke.
>>7868871
it's just alternative to yogurt
in my cuntree, kefir is the norm, while yogurt is the hipsta thing
>>7868404
>Also haggis. It's not even allowed in the USA as it contains lung meat. It's forbidden by FDA.
It's not allowed to be sold at retail in the US.
However people can and do make their own by simply buying a live sheep and slaughtering it themselves.
>>7868942
I'm English, and it was a completely new taste for me. As in, the closest thing would be cottage cheese or yoghurt, neither of which have this fermented carbonation.

I'm surprised no one mentioned balut it's probably one of the more, off putting things I've eaten but it's actually quite good I think.

you know what buddy, you're right! Here, take this honorary PHD in Turkey Dinosaurs, you're doing God's good work friend.

durian tastes like garlic ice cream. it's definitely an odd combination of flavors, but it's not bad.

God shrimp paste what the FUCK.
We got a log of this so I could make some Indonesian dish a few months ago and we thought "well, it says the smell is pretty bad, but goes away after you bake it, so why don't we just bake it all at once and never have to deal with it again!"
Oh we were young fools, then. Young, innocent fools, roaming wild and free in a beautiful world of gumdrops and rainbows and shit. We knew so little and we were happy. We
We were happy, then

oh same, anon.
though, i find most people consider beers across the board "acquired tastes", i cant remember a time i wasnt fond of beers.
im also very fond of red wines. cab took a while to grow on me.
food wise, my palette is very bitter, so a lot of stuff that most people would consider an "acquired taste" are my tastes by default.

Funny you say that, I've had durian ice cream, its odd at first but like you said, not bad. Really grows on you.

Marylander here with PA family members.
This is the shit.
>>7859368
Agree with everything, was like 20 when I first tried it though.
This is delicious. It's so salty and mildly sweet.

I've lived on the Eastern Shore of MD since 1996 and never understood why people like scrapple.
>>7863507
What's with this "Assume everyone who does weird shit is from the United States" meme?
Salty licorice. Really good for grossing people out as a bonus.

I'd eat the fuck out of that right now
>>7859416
>The entire apple
I thought I was the only one doing that, the same with pears. It started because of my lazyness to go to the kitchen to trow the rests into the garbage.

Black pudding isn't an acquired taste.
Its more a taste people have to reacquire after they find out its made of blood.

Visit Canada. We don't call them bloody marry's though.

They are the top drink to get in the summer and just about every hipster restaurant has their own oh so special recipe

Americans are the great other. Everything strange stems from that bizarre place. Can you imagine talking to an american? It would be terrifying, you could never know what it's thinking. What if it bites you? What if it hides under the bed and you can't get it out?
Not necessarily an acquired taste, but I love aspic/хoлoдeц and everyone I know thinks it's weird and won't try it.

Oh man I just went through a gallon of kimchi over the course of a week... Was delicious, but I regret it lol.

Sauerkraut is incredibly common all across America anon, don't get your panties all in a bunch.
Am I neglecting my health if I hardly eat any vegetables other than onion and garlic, but eat a shitton of fruit?
>>7871929
Adding something like "you must be american" is the new form of shitposting by people who know nothing about america or how people actually eat there. Just ignore it.
>>7871667
I actually rather liked this on my first try, but I was introduced to sauerkraut pretty young.

>drinking buttermilk
My grandparents always drank that shit... I've tried, for the health benefits, but just can't do it. Much prefer kefir to buttermilk for muh probiotics.
Still keep buttermilk on hand for cooking though, shit's useful yo.
Come to think of it, kefir is probably an acquired taste too
Curdled milk.
I'm a Euro.
>>7871962
Is buttermilk just sour milk? or is it fat like butter?
>>7871971
Neither.
It's what is left over after making butter. It is fat-free because the fat ended up in the butter.
>>7871932
Well you probably get all the vitamins and minerals you need, but way too much sugar along with them which is detrimental.
>>7871971
Supposed to be the liquid left over after making butter as >>7871974 said, but now a days (since the early 1900s apparently, in America at least, it's most common to find cultured butter milk which is just milk fermented with a specific strain of lactobacilli which is why I compared it to kefir, but cultured buttermilk lacks the diversity of micro-organisms that ferment kefir and just has a... Sort of simpler taste, but one that I really don't care for.
If you're curious might as well buy a pint, if you don't care for it it's still great for biscuits, cornbread, pancakes, etc.

What's wrong with beef tongue? That's some of the most tender meat you can buy.
>>7857029
Probably because Caesars are infinitely better
>>7859602
Lengua tacos are god-tier though
>>7859368
I like the texture just fine. For me it was the fact that it smelled and tasted like earwax. I just couldn't get past it.
>>7871998
It's not sold in my country, but I guess skimmed sour milk is similar from what you're describing from the cultured buttermilk.
>>7871974
>it's fat free
Isn't that just whey?
>>7872026
Not quite.
Buttermilk is fermented, whey is not.
Originally the fermentation happened naturally as part of the butter making process, whereas these days it's often made by adding a bacterial culture to milk like another anon pointed out above.
>>7859368
the taste isn't what bothers me, it's the texture

American here, whenever I visited Argentina my friends introduced me to fernet and I quickly fell in love with it. The liquor store by me usually has one bottle in stock every month or so but its around 20 dollars so I drink it very rarely nowadays.
