Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:For me, that would be durian and a fish based pho that I tried. Durian is like eating farts, and I swear anyone who claims to like it is just waving their food dick around to impress others. Food should not taste like garbage. Durian is creamy and doesn't actually taste bad it just smells bad, so I think it's more like eating pudding while someone is farting in your face

They sell durian at the farmers market near my place. I have never tried it, but I may need to now. They have both fresh and frozen.

Lutefisk. With cream sauce. I know there are whole cults devoted to the stuff but to me it tastes almost completely, but not entirely, unlike fish. I was supposed to get a taste of Surstromming, but I have been led to believe that due to norming of federal regulations with EU laws DHS now considers it a hazardous material and requires a special license to import.

sewage cheese at the pseudo-farmer's market in Columbus. I tried it one day and it was just...ugh . It tasted like sewage smells, I forget what it was called though. Also ground fleur de sel, phlux.

Not so much because of the flavor, but water chestnuts and lotus root drive me up a wall. That squeaky, styrofoam-like texture disturbs me so much, I just can't stand it.

Guys, that last thread lasted 66 pages. That's pathetic. I ordered some larb at a local Thai restaurant and asked for it to come back right spicy. It was spicy alright, but it also smelled like straight up farts. I don't know what it was, but it was rank. There was just no way my girlfriend and I could eat it.

I only ate the skin when I was sneaking them from the orchard. It reminds me of the Germans complaing that the tamales were tasty but the wrapper was too stringy and tough. When someone told them the secret (don't eat the corn husks), they went and unwrapped the burritos too.

Ground floor posting! I'm really not a fan of sushi anymore, mostly because I can't justify the cost when really good fish and mediocre fish taste almost the same to my palate. I think smoking, hard liquor, and flavorpunch food have taken their toll, because I remember I used to enjoy it a lot more. Will still eat the hell out of uni though, and japanese food is so varied that losing sushi isn't a big hit.

And I'm really not willing to go around to the neighborhood "sushi" joint and pay like 7 bucks for a "dragon" roll or whatever the gently caress the kids eat nowadays.

Yeah, I feel the same way about eating some tex wasabi sushi poo poo, it basically eliminates the point of eating raw fish, which is tasting the quality. There is some stuff I really like still (I had this uni/foie sushi thing and Nobu Malibu) but that isn't really sushi and it is super expensive. I also think I am becoming obsessed with this restaurant near my place which is really awesome, but every time I go I am seriously disappointed by at least one item. It's fairly new, but it feels like a bad girlfriend.

Lavendar anything. Stop putting lavendar in desserts, it tastes like soap. loving gross. Mussels. I keep trying them but I just don't really like them. Clams are awesome though. Although I don't like raw clams on my sushi. Not a fan of that snappy rubberbandy texture. Nope.

Christopher Elbow makes some amazing chocolates filled with a lavender caramel. As far as mussels go, they're awesome...especially when served with fries. Low tide smells like...well, if I walk out my door. It smells like "the bay." "The Bay" smells like poo poo. I've only had clams in my linguine, in my chowdah, or in my Treasure Chest, and they're clearly awesome in all of those instances.

Speaking of HP Lovecraft, I had a calamari soup once that was disturbing. It had tiny little squid that were in these contorted poses poking up through an opaque milk chowder sort of soup. made me want to run my steam ship through them all, damned hell-cephalopods

Agreed with the lavender, I don't understand it... it isn't a nice dessert flavour. Even when it's done really well it's still not great and I just thinking about all the different more awesome flavours you could have used instead.

I know, which is why my peaches are mostly eaten as either cobblers or peach marmalade. I can submit to such a fate. The main problem is that good peaches have been difficult to get hold of the last few years, a peach shouldn't be crispy like an apple dammit Lavender is a horrible British fop-thing which I think grew out of the whole Provenco-romanticism of the nineties coupled later with St. Nigella-of-the-Bountiful-Bosom using it, which is weird considering how she otherwise has pretty good taste. I didn't enjoy durian very much the first time, but it's grown on me a lot and now I love the stuff.

I have tried durian, and I really wanted to like it. It was in a desert with shaved ice. Could only take a couple of bites, then the sulfuric fumes was making me gag. It smelled like it was made with mercaptoethanol, a familiar smell to anyone who has worked in a molecular biology lab. Sun ripe garbage is the closest thing. Haven't tried fresh durian, will try if I get the opportunity.
