Do You Like Whole Boiled Onions?
Posted by: u5227470736789439 on 18 October 2009
These are something I find about as nausea-inducing as vomit itself, but some people insist that it is me who is wrong to dislike them so.
They love them, are lovers of food, and therefore project onto me their own view, and say I am wrong ...
Anyone else have a least favourite food?

Squash - only eaten as a child, very quickly with a huge glass of milk for a chaser. Followed by five minutes of gagging.
I will never forgive my mother for this. Counseling has helped little.

ps. never have, and never will try whole boiled onions.

When we boil crawfish or shrimp, I always throw in a head of garlic, and 3 or 4 big red onions.
The garlic is good cold, on crackers. The onions are quite nice warm from the pot.
Plenty spice in this, as we let them seep 15 minutes after boiling :-)

My wife eats chicken feet. I have to leave the room when she does
My least favourite..squid. A rubber tyre is more digestible.

Chicken feet, squids amongst other things are considered to be delicacies by the Chinese.

Man in chinese restaurant - " Waiter, this squid's rubbery!"
Waiter- " Ahhh! fank you werry much!!"
Squid's only rubbery if overcooked. Prepared properly it's one of my very favourite dishes.

Must admit I'm quite partial to a whole boiled onion. I cook mine in a steamer actually but I suppose technically it counts.
Things I hate?
Liver, heart & kidney. I love the smell of liver gently frying but can't abide the taste.
Regards,
Steve.

My homemade liver and bacon casseroles is one of the best meals my friends have ever had so they tell me. I'm inclined to agree
It's not what it is, it's what you do with it that counts, liver being a prime one in this example. Cheap too.

I love liver , Lambs liver rolled in flour lightly fried, add bacon onions and gravy and simmer for a while , beautiful.
Pigs liver is a bit too sinuey and seems to have more veins in it.

Rotting fish as eaten by the Swedes and Danes - what's all that about then.
&
anything with a 'Mac' in front of it.

Lutefisk.
You have no idea how bad that is, even Norwegians think its bad to the point that they have jokes about it, and Norwegian & Joke is a contradiction in terms. - Norge venner ma du ikke bli fornaermet, de bare en munter spok. I love your country, men Lutefisk - yyyyukkkk
Its also hard to imagine the level of depravity that was inside the person who invented it, Wikkiped has how to make it. Its like school kids tying to make the smelliest stink bomb mix

Re: my dislike of liver.
Have been wondering if this has anything to do with the fact my cousin was low in iron as a child and made to eat liver raw. Witnessing this made me more ill than he was eating the stuff!!!
And how weird is it that I love the smell but hate the taste - you would think bad memories of the taste would make me file the smell of liver cooking in the 'not nice' section of the filing cabinet in my brain.
Regards,
Steve

I had to laugh once when a friend said "you've never seen a sadder sight then me chasing cold lima beans around a plate to make it look like I was eating them as a kid"
I have to agree Lima Beans can't be eaten by themselves.
I like Pate' and the taste of liver in other things like turkey stuffing or my mom's gravy.

My wife is Malaysian, but ethnic Chinese. so that explains it then

I have eaten and enjoyed all of the above (apart from chickens' feet, but I'd give them a go) but can't abide a brussel sprout.

Need to vomit - eat sprouts!
Posted on: 21 October 2009 by fixedwheel
I eat one sprout a year, just to prove to myself that I still hate them.

I love sprouts!
How can Xmas dinner be Xmas dinner without sprouts?
Posted on: 23 October 2009 by Rockingdoc
Nope, I'd rather have the chickens' feet with my Christmas fare. I've had a look at a few chickens and can't see which bits of the feet you'd actually eat? Or are they deep fried in batter, like a Mars bar. Now that's something I could understand.

Why must you old worlders boil everything!!!!!
Re: Brussel Sprouts....
Cut them in half, (this is the key).
Sautee in super hot Olive oil and butter combo.
Dont use a non-stick pan.
When they get some color on them, toss in a few cloves of chopped garlic and some shallots.
Let everything slightly char on to the bottom of the pan.
Deglaze with some white wine for a little pan sauce.
Best ever.....
If cut in half they soak up all of the lovely flavors, and become much more tender.
You can also start the above with a little bacon or salt pork.
Brussel Sprouts slowly braised in red wine in the oven? Secret recipe.

Don't you know the English cuisine? Everything must be frozen before it is cooked! All vegetables (including rice) must be boiled!

In reference to the two handgun-death-average per year in the UK. His joke was that it was probably an American who screamed the above before blowing someone's head off.
Bill was f-ing hilarious. RIP.
